          In the movie, some character combine three languages, this situation is bilingualism. According to Mackey “Bilingualism is the ability to use more than one language”(Mackey (1962:52). In the bilingualism , there will be many people changing the language. It depends on the situation. This case is know  as code mixing. The mixed from one language or variety to another  is called code mixing. The change frequently takes place while the speaker is doing a conversation for someone purpose.

          For our understanding, the writer takes example of the use of code mixing in TIPU KIRI TIPU KANAN. Look at the example below:

 REVIEW OF THE RELATED LITERATURE

AND THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

2.1 Review of the related Literature

       In this part, the writer takes some concepts and theories, which have relationship with this research. The theory which is applied in this analysis is Sociolinguistic.

2.1.1 Sociolinguistic

          Code mixing is one of the terms in sociolinguistics. Sociolinguistics as a branch of linguistics which study  variation of language that is related to social variables. There are various opinions by linguist about definition of sociolinguistics.According to holmes ( in longman,2001:1) “ sociolinguistics is study the relationship between language and society” Sociolinguistics is concerned with the relationship between language and context in which it is used. Sociolinguistics related to social context when they are interacts one another in community.         In addition, Fishman ( in Nurhayati 2004 ) says :

   “ sociolinguistics is the study of the characteristic of language varieties, the characteristic of their function and characteristic of their speakers as these three constanily interact, change and change one another within in speech community”      

As a result, sociolinguistics discuss in social context and culture. The people who speak to  other people will think what language variation, which they used to share information. People will choose the wo)rd carefully according to whom they speak.         

2.1.2 Bilingualism

            The ability of a person who can speak two languages is bilingualism.  Accordin to lado ( in alwasilah, 1988 : 124 ) said :

“ Bilingualism is the ability to speak two language equally or almost equally which is used technically to refer to any degree of knowledge of two language by the same person”

            It can be concluded that people who live in bilingualism community have ability to use two languages without differences between native language and foreign language.

            Furthermore, bloomfield ( in Alwasilah, 1988 :124) said “ bilingualism is nativelike control of two languages” the people can use two languages like their mother tongue or first language in their community. The people have habit to use two languages when they interact with other people.

            The ability of a person to use one or more language as a means of communication in most situations. And to mix one language to the other if necessary.

2.1.3 Previous studies

            The research about code mixing has been done by writers Irhami (2004) from bung hatta university in her thesis entitled “code mixing used in advertisement Aneka Yess magazine”. She focuses to look the form of code mixing and she discuss the functions of code mixing used by advertiser in Aneka Yess.

            For example:

1.      Buat kamu yang kegiatan seabrek –abrek, pengen dong bisa tampil fresh dan wangi sepanjang hari..? marina punya solusinyanya nich

( Aneka 04 9-22 feb 2004)

2.      Nggak ada tombol rewind dalam masa pertumbuhan.

( Aneka 21 -9-22 okt 2004)

          After reading her thesis above, it can be seen that there is the different topic with the writer. In this case, the writer choose the topic about code mixing malay.ndonesian language and English language, which is found in conversation in malay movie Tipu Kiri Tipu kanan

2.2 Theoretical Framework

2.2.1 code mixing

          In sociolinguistics, there are two codes that is used in speaking to the other people in society, they are code switching and code mixing language

          Code mixing is a change by a speaker  from one language or language variety to another one. According to Suwito “code mixing is a change from one code to another code or one language to another language”.

          According to Marasigan (1983:7) code mixing or code choice in this particular study refers to the use of two languages in the same sentences or discourse. However, studies on code mixing from one variety a  language to another variety of the same language were equally discussed since they also reflected social, cultural and individual preference.

          In daily life, we can find code mixing used by bilingual person. For example, when who person are using Minangkabau language in their communication. Suddenly, the new person comes and joins to communicate with them. But the hew person does not understand what language that they use. Then, they mixing their language to make the new person understand to accept to accept the new person in that situation. Moreover, Holmes ( 1992) states “when there is some obvious change in the situation, such as the arrival of new person, it is easy to explain to mix”

          Holmes ( 1992) explain that two types of code mixing is divided into : situational code mixing and metaphorical code mixing. Next, the writer will elucidate these two types.

2.2.1.1 Situational

          Situational code mixing occurs when the language change according to situation in which         the participant find themselves. They speak one language in one situation and another in different language and social situation. For example, a girl and her friends uses code mixing Depend on situation and another topic.

What writer observe is that one language is used to a certain situation and another in an entirely different set. A shift in a situation may require a shift in language or variety. However , the    alternation from one to the other may be instantaneous.

2.2.1.2 Metaphorical code mixing

          Metaphorical code mixing takes place where a variety is normally used only in one situation and a different kind of mixing because the topic is the sort which would normally arise in the first kind of situation. In brief, a change of topic requires a change in the language used. For example, a lecture and the student in college use code mixing. The lecture can change the code as redefine from serious to humorous.      

          Metaphorical code mixing has effective dimension. The people change the code as redefine the situation.

2.2.2 social factors

          Holmes (2001:8) states that certain social factors have been relevant in according for the particular variety used. In any situation, linguistic choice will generally reflect the influence of one or more of the following components, based on holmes(2001:8) :

1.      The participants : who is speaking and whom they are speaking to?

2.      The setting or social context of interaction: where are they speaking?

3.      The topic : what are they speaking?

4.      The function : why are they speaking? What is the language being used for?

          All factor above influenced the people in use a variety and language choice. For the reason sometimes they use one or more language in their speaking. The use of language can be influenced by situation for whom, what language used, where and what are talking about. These social factors will people in choosing the word in their speaking. They are basic components in sociolinguistics explanations of why we do not all speak in the same way all of the time.

2.2.3 Function of code mixing

            The function of code mixing used in movie. The function can be divided into many categories such as for greeting rejection, opinion, suggestion and emotional expression.

            According to Nababan (1984:31) sometimes the code mixing occurs when the speaker intends to show his educational status or his social class. Language mixing also used to express emotion, close personal relationship and solidarity. In additions Richard (1985:113) states that the purpose for which an utterance or unit of language is used, in language teaching function are often described as categories of behavior

                In this research, used the observed method in which data are collected an analyzed and connected base on the fact. In addition sodaryanto (1993 ) says : that there strategic steps to go through in doing the linguistic research, they are collecting the data, analyzing the data, analyzing the data and representing the result of the data analysis.

3.1 Source of data

3.3 Method and Technique of data analysis

            1.listened the all dialoques

            2.writen the data
