Analisis Alih Kode dalam Vlog Perjalanan di Mekkah pada Kanal YouTube Alman Mulyana

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the types of code-switching and the factors causing its occurrence in travel vlogs in Makkah on the YouTube channel of Alman Mulyana. The study employs Hoffman’s theory of code-switching types and causal factors published in nineteen ninety-one. A qualitative descriptive approach was applied using observation and note-taking techniques. Data were obtained from eleven vlog videos selected through purposive sampling based on the relevance of alternating Arabic and Indonesian during interactions throughout the journey. The findings show that among twenty instances of code-switching identified, inter- sentential switching was the most dominant type, with twelve occurrences, followed by intra-sentential switching with six instances, and tag switching with two instances. Regarding causal factors, the most frequent was the intention to clarify the speech content for the interlocutor with thirteen cases, followed by repetition for clarification with three cases, interjection with one case, expressing group identity with one case, and being emphatic about something with one case. The factors of quoting others and talking about a particular topic were not found in this study. The conclusion of this research is that code-switching in Alman Mulyana’s vlogs is used communicatively for direct interlocutors and vlog audiences, and the dominance of inter-sentential code-switching indicates that Alman’s proficiency in Arabic is quite good, allowing him to use it almost on par with his second language
