INTRODUCTION
Language and society can not be separated. Language is used in society to build communication with others. Basically, language is a system of arbitrary verbal symbol by with the member of a speech community interact and express their idea, feeling and thought.
Language is have many variation which make it rich, and one of the language variation is code switching. The term code switching is now widely used in the development of some sections of society, this departure from the development of language in every individual because every person has the ability to absorb multiple languages besides their native language. From the ability that they apply the code-switching by using two or more languages in interacting with others. Before we discuss more deeply how the using of code switching in society, the first we must know the meaning of code switching it self and also continue with find out the factor of using code switching in society.
A. WHAT IS CODE SWITCHING ?
Now days we ever hear the word of code switching, but most of people didn’t know the meaning, most of them able to use without know the meaning of it. According to Gal, he says that code switching is a conversational strategy used to establish, cross or destroy group boundaries; to create, evoke or change interpersonal relations with their rights and obligations.[1]
Code-switching (also called code-mixing) can occur in conversation between speakers’ turns or within a single speaker’s turn. In the latter case it can occur between sentences (intersententially) or within a single sentence (intra-sententially). Code-switching can arise from individual choice or be used as a major identity marker for a group of speakers who must deal with more than one language in their common pursuits.
Code-switching is the practice of moving between variations of languages in different contexts. Everyone who speaks has learned to code-switch depending on the situation and setting. In an educational context, code-switching is defined as the practice of switching between a primary and a secondary language or discourse.
In our daily life we also have to use code switching , for example in daily life of students of STAIN Pamekasan, especially in english department students, In their daily accustomed to interact with friends using the Indonesian language or their mother tongue, is madurese language, but it is different when they follow the lectures in class, they more often use English to interact, because they had an obligation to use the English language.
B. THE FACTOR OF USING CODE SWITCHING
Some of the factors causing the occurrence of code switching or code mixing is influenced by the context and situation of language that can be described as follows:
1. factors independent of particular speakers and particular circumstances in
which the varieties are used, which affect all the speakers of the relevant
varieties in a particular community.
Speakers sometimes accidentally switched codes to language partner because he has the intent and purpose. Seen from private speakers, there are a variety of purposes and objectives such as code switching the speaker wants to change the situation of the conversation, that is from formal situations which bound the space and time to non-formal situations that are not bound by space and time. Speakers sometimes doing mixed language code one into another language because of habit.
2. According to Milroy and Gordon, the factors attaching to the speakers, both as individuals and as members of a variety of sub-groups: their competence in each variety, their social networks and relationships, their attitudes and ideologies, their self-perception and perception of others. [2]
Usually, a speaker who initially use one language switch the code to another language with a people who come from different communities. For example, speaker and speak using Indonesian partners to switch the code to use English because of the presence of an English speaker who entered the conversation situation.
3. factors within the conversations where code switching takes place. Code switching is a major conversational resource for speakers, providing further tools to structure their discourse beyond those available to monolinguals.
This case will arise a lot of code switching and code mixing in society. Rather language or code mixing can occur from one language into another language, and of speech levels of a language into another language speech levels. For the example, the students who use their mother tongue when interact with their family, could have switched to using the other language when they interact with their class mate or their teachers. They prefer use the Indonesian language than Madurese language, this is influenced by situation and location they use.
CONCLUSION
From explanation above, we can take the conclusion that code switching can not separated with the society, because they often use it even thought they didn’t know the meaning. This case this is already accustomed to use, because people are able to develop a language that they have, by using languages other than their mother tongue, because there are several factors, among which differences in situation and places.
