Abstract

This study investigates the types and motivations of Indonesian-English code mixing used by TikTok users in the comment sections of Kazka’s videos.The types of code mixing were analyzed using Muysken’s (2000) theory, while the motivations behind its use were examined using Bhatia and Ritchie’s (2004) framework. A total of 26 comments were collected from three of Kazka TikTok videos, revealing insertion as the most frequent type (57.69%), followed by congruent lexicalization (26.92%) and alternation (15.38%). To examine the motivations, 25 TikTok users who used code mixing were interviewed. Six of them gave two different reasons, resulting in 31 total responses. These responses were analyzed using Bhatia and Ritchie’s theory, but the study also found two motivations not covered by the theory: “habit” and “exposure from the external factors.” From the interviews, 6.45% of users used code mixing because of participant roles and relationships, 19.35% due to situational factors, 12.90% because of message-intrinsic factors, 9.68% due to language attitudes, dominance, and security, 29.03% out of habit, and 22.58% due to external influences. In conclusion, habit was the most common reason TikTok users mixed languages in Kazka’s comment section.
