Abstract

Multilingualism is one of the causes of code mixing in speech acts. This research examines code mixing in direct and indirect speech acts in Indonesian in children aged 5-8 years. The aim of the research is to describe the types of code mixing, forms of code mixing, and the factors that cause code mixing. This research is a type of qualitative descriptive research. The research subjects were children aged 3-5 years in the Bu Yani Rented Complex play group, RT 05 Modalan, Banguntapan, Bantul. The object of this research is code mixing which is classified based on its type and form in speech acts. Data was collected through listening techniques, tapping techniques, Free Listening Free Speech techniques, recording techniques, and recording techniques. The research instrument used is a human instrument. The data analysis technique was carried out using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana analysis methods, namely data collection, data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results showed that the code mixing found was internal code mixing originating from Javanese, while external code mixing came from English. The most data was found in Direct Speech Act events, while the type of code mixing that was most often used was internal code mixing. Factors causing internal and external code mixing include non-formal factors, relaxed situations due to playing, the influence of the first language, and familiarity with several foreign languages.
