Abstract

This study investigated the strategies used by students of different ethnic groups (Batak, Javanese, and Malay) in refusing requests. A total of 30 participants were involved in this research. Each ethnic group was represented by 10 students that came from three different universities in Medan, Indonesia. Discourse Completion Test (DCT) was used to collect the data. Data were analyzed by using refusal categorization. The results showed that the participants preferred to use indirect refusal strategies to respond to lecturer’s requests, and followed by direct and adjunct strategies respectively. This study also indicated that Batak students performed refusal acts more direct than any other Javanese or Malay students. Meanwhile Javanese students tend to employ refusals more indirect compared to any other students. The Malay students performed the acts moderately. The results indicated that the refusal strategies used by the students of three different cultural backgrounds might be influenced by their cultural circumstances. Future studies should be undertaken to investigate the phenomena in different research settings with more participants to be involved.

Abstract

This research focuses on analyze the occurrence of code-mixing and code-switching in Najwa Shihab's podcast episode entitled "Susahnya jadi Perempuan" (Catatan Najwa). The podcast episode discusses various challenges and experiences faced by women in society. This research aims to identify the types and how code-mixing and code-switching are used in the podcast. To achieve this, the authors used a qualitative descriptive method based on Muysken's theory and Poplack's theory.  The data were then categorized based on the types of code-mixing and code-switching, such as Insertion, Alternation, and Congruent Lexicalitation code-mixing as well as Inter-sentential switching, tag switching and Intra-sentential switching. The data obtained from this podcast amounted to 87 data. The results are as follows; there are 62 code mix data consisting of 46 (74%) insertion data, 10 (16%) alternation data, and 6 (10%) congruent lexicalization data. Furthermore, there were 25 code switching data found, which consisted of 9 (36%) inter-sentential switching data, 3 (12%) tag switching data, and 13 (52%) intra-sentential switching data. The authors found that the use of code-mixing and code-switching in this podcast was greatly influenced by the person, such as, the social environment of Najwa and her guest stars. A notable finding from the research is the evident influence of the speakers' social environment on their linguistic choices. Specifically, the interactions between Najwa and her guest stars, coupled with the thematic content of the episode, played a pivotal role in shaping the patterns of code-mixing and code-switching observed. This expanded research offers a deeper understanding of the dynamic interplay of languages in contemporary media formats, emphasizing the significance of sociolinguistic factors in shaping linguistic choices. The study not only contributes to the existing body of knowledge on code-mixing and code-switching but also underscores the importance of analyzing modern mediums to capture the evolving nature of linguistic practices.
