dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to describe the Code Mixing in Covid-19 Pandemic Facebook Posts using
Appraisal Attitude that may be seen on Facebook, a social networking site. The questions for
inquiry include the forms and justifications for code mixing in social networking sites like
Facebook. The descriptive qualitative approach is the strategy the researcher employs to
analyze the data. In order to facilitate a thorough analysis, the researcher codes the selected
code mixing by assigning code numbers after reading the status, comment, or message on
Facebook that contains the Code Mixing in Covid-19 Pandemic Facebook Posts using
Appraisal Attitude. The types of words, phrases, hybrids, word reduplications, idioms, and
sentences where English is inserted have been recognized and also analyze using appraisal
attitude. The reasons of using code mixing are bilingualism, speaker and partner speaking,
social community, habit/situation, vocabulary, prestige. The achievement of this research is
expected to be an additional source of code mixing and also developing code mixing field in
the next research. As a result, the appraisal framework enables comprehensive explanations of
the specific evaluating mechanisms at work in each individual text as well as nuanced analyses
of how texts are similar or different in light of their unique evaluative arrangements. As a result,
it provides the potential for fresh perspectives on a variety of topics, including how texts shape
individual and group identities, how they are evaluated, how speakers and writers may handle
power and solidarity relationships, and how texts that aim to persuade and sway public opinion
operate. | en_US |
