Bentuk Campur Kode Bahasa Melayu Kupang dalam Percakapan Berbahasa Indonesia pada Mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa dan Sastra Indonesia Universitas Persatuan Guru 1945 NTT

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms of code-mixing used by students and the factors that cause code-mixing in Indonesian language conversations. The theory used is the theory of "Sociolinguistics." This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The research data are students' spoken utterances containing elements of code-mixing, while the data sources are students of the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program at Universitas Persatuan Guru 1945 NTT, particularly in informal conversations on campus. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, recording techniques, note-taking techniques, and in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed through the stages of data transcription, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that the forms of code-mixing found in student conversations include code-mixing in the form of words or particles, phrases, blends, and reduplication. The elements of code-mixing that appear come from Kupang Malay, English, and slang. Elements of Kupang Malay are seen in the use of words or particles such as beta, katong, su, ko, sa, dong, and dorang. English elements are seen in the use of phrases such as share link Zoom, worth it, check out, mental breakdown, and me time. The blended form is seen in the word di-filter, while the reduplication form is seen in the use of omong-omong. The factors causing code-mixing include daily language habits, local identity and solidarity, informal situations, the influence of technology and social media, emotional expression, and communication efficiency. Thus, code-mixing in student conversations not only indicates linguistic phenomena but also reflects students' social identity, familiarity, and communication dynamics within the academic environment.
