Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the types of code-switching found in Asmaraloka novel and to find out the reasons why the characters use various types of code switching. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive method, with the novel Asmaraloka as the data source. A total of 60 utterances were selected as representative samples to reflect the types of code switching based on Hoffmann’s (1991) theory. These utterances illustrate how code switching occurs naturally in the characters’ speech and narratives in related literature. In conclusion, while not all types of code-switching appeared, all the reasons described by Hoffmann are found in the characters’ everyday speech in Asmaraloka.
