An Investigation of Code-Switching and Mixing in the Close The Door Teens: In Therapy Podcast

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of code-switching and code-mixing in the Close The Door Teens: In Therapy podcast titled “Bintang Tamu Terakhir Azka! Last Episode!!”, with Azka Corbuzier as the host and Sherry Joelica as the guest. Using a descriptive qualitative method with quantitative support, the data were analyzed using Poplack's (1980) framework for code-switching and Muysken's (2000) framework for code-mixing. The results of the study showed 166 cases: 84 cases of code mixing (61 insertions, 21 alternations, 2 congruent lexicalization) and 82 cases of code switching (40 intrasentential, 33 intersentential, 9 tag switching). The code-switching and code-mixing phenomena observed in Gen Z podcasts reflect a modern and flexible social identity and demonstrate how they effectively express emotions and engage their language skills. This phenomenon emerged due to the influence of their surroundings, which cannot be avoided, but it is important to consider the overall impact of this phenomenon.
