2.1 Linguistic Studies On Code- Switching<br />
According to Wikepedia’s definition, code-switching is a term in linguistics referring<br />
to using more than one language or dialect in conversation. Code-switching can occur<br />
between sentences, intersentential or within a single sentence intrasentential.Code<br />
switching is now considered to be a normal interaction between the bilingual<br />
speakers.<br />
Examples <strong>of</strong> intersentential: (i) “Kulitnya sensitif”.(Skin is sensitive)<br />
(ii) “Kamu sentuh asid”. (You touch the acid)<br />
