Code-Mixing in Sri Mulyani Indrawati’s Public Lecture

Abstract

This research analyzes code-mixing in a 2018 public lecture by Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Indonesia's Minister of Finance. The focus is on a lecture delivered at Universitas Gadjah Mada, which encompasses all primary forms of code-mixing: insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization. Key findings include frequent morphological integration in insertions, the presence of adjacency insertions, and lexical doubling. The study also uncovers Indonesian-Javanese code-mixing, suggesting that the speaker's linguistic background, the lecture setting, and audience demographics influence code-mixing instances. The findings validate that code-mixing is not restricted to informal contexts but can also occur in formal settings.
