An Analysis of Taliwang-Sasak Code-Mixing Types Used in Lunyuk Community

Abstract

This research examines the types of code-mixing found within the Lunyuk community, specifically focusing on using Taliwang and Sasak languages, as analyzed through the framework of Muysken's (2000) theory of code-mixing. The study uses an ethnographic approach to capture real-life language interactions and social dynamics that drive code-mixing patterns in a bilingual community setting. According to Muysken's typology, code-mixing can be categorized into three main types: insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization. The findings reveal that each type is prevalent within the community. However, the frequency and context vary based on factors such as speakers' linguistic background, the formality of the setting, and social relationships. This study contributes to understanding code-mixing in multilingual communities, demonstrating how Muysken's model effectively captures the nuanced linguistic practices within the Lunyuk community.
