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 />
