A Study of code-switching used by the presenter in RCTI quiz program "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" - Digital Collection of Petra Christian University

The quiz called Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, which is broadcasted in
RCTI, every Saturday at 07.00 p.m until 08.00 p.m, is one of the famous quizes
which focuses on the interaction between presenter and contestant. The presenter
of the program, Tantowi Yahya, is able to bring a good and casual atmosphere to
the program. He is able to use the proper expressions in this program which lead
him to the use of code switching. In this thesis, the writer would like to find out
the kinds of language that the presenter uses during the show, since he is the one
who runs the whole show. Also she would like to know the kind of language
which mostly used by the presenter. The writer chose this topic and subject
because sometimes when she watches the quiz on television program, people use
code switching. Moreover, this is a famous, interesting and educating quiz which
has been awarded as the most favourite TV quiz program and Tantowi Yahya, as
the presenter, has been elected as the most favourite presenter in Panasonic Award
2001. In collecting the data, the writer records three episodes of Who Wants To
Be A Millionaire quiz and transcribes the recording. Later, she uses the
transcription as her data. In analyzing the data, the writer uses Holmes theory of
code switching by a descriptive study of code switching. In this thesis, we can find
later that the use of English language is quite dominant in the whole result which
is 60.6% from the whole switch, and Non Standard language also has big number
of percentage, 35.3% from the whole switch, while Javanese language only
appeared 2.7%, and Arabic language only 1.4% from total code. This means that
the switch that occured on the quiz mostly happened because the speaker uses a
second language (especially English) within his utterances, and the other switch
happened because of the change of language from formal to informal.
