Abstract

Nowadays people are mastering not only one language and they often apply this knowledge on their communication. The result of mastering more than one language is a code-switching event. This study aimed to analyze the reasons of conducting code switching on daily conversation of a group of rural society. The data source is utterances from conversation of villager in Satra village, Klungkung-Bali. In this qualitative study, observation, recording and note-taking techniques are applied to collect the data. Theory of Chaer and Agustina (2004) about five reasons of conducting code switching action is used to do the analysis. Generally, this study found that all types of reasons are arising the code-switching actions. But the most reasons underlying the actions are (1) balancing interlocutor ability in a language, and (2) the presence of a third person or other person who does not have the same language background as the language being used by the speaker and opponent. Context of situation and the respect to people with higher social status are the other considerations of using code switching
