ABSTRACT

Broadcasters are the people who usually hold the radio program in giving news, information to the audience. Such as the presenters, they come to the various kind of audiences, they must be able to serve the program as well as possible. How they arrange the program, how they manage the voice, intonation and all language aspect perfectly. However, here is indirect contact between the broadcasters and the audience. They communicate without know each other’s, only the voice that can sent the message or information of the broadcasters. Concerning to this situation, the broadcasters forced to select their language. As in bilingual and multilingual society, the language phenomena is also spread in broadcasting. We often heard the broadcasters do code mixing in their presentation. Clearly, it’s usual in our life, we cannot talk it’s informal or formal language, because radio has its own language self. Furthermore, what code that usually used and why the Broadcasters used such code are interesting and needed to study, so we can get what the purpose or another mission within their language.

Code mixing that often used is closely related to the factors, either internal or external. Internal can be from the broadcasters self such as emotion, education, and cultural, religion background, while the external factor can be from the environment where they work, like the characteristic of the program (formal or informal), the situation of the environment (social, economic, politic, etc)

As the methodology in this research about “A Study on Code Mixing Used by Broadcasters of Andalus FM Malang”, the writer used descriptive qualitative research. The structural analysis method is based on the phenomena which usually appear in daily activities, especially to the language that used by the broadcasters of Andhika Lugas Swara (Andalus) FM Malang. In order to this research is manageable and systematics, the writer choose observation and interview in way of gathering the data.

However, as the result of this research, the writer found many things. The code that usually used by broadcasters is classified in to four forms, namely code mixing from Indonesian into Javanese, from Javanese into Indonesian, From Indonesian into English and From English into Indonesian. The used of such code is influenced by either the programs or another aspect from individual or the situation of the environments. ٢I١he program like entertainment like Agasi, Galeri, Top Twenty, Mozaik,etc, are mostly the writer found code mixing in their presentation, while information program like, news, lintas media, relay viola, berita, there rarely they used code mixing.

However, they used code mixing is purpose and unpurpose. Most of them do code mixing as the spontaneous things without their awareness caused by their habitual action because those terms are familiar and acceptable to the audience. In addition, some of them used code mixing due to their occupation as the presenters who give information, through mixing the language they easy to explain some message or information. Another data indicated that some of them used code mixing as the variation of word choice, the use of the same word frequent for more time caused boredom.
