Abstract

Mixing language codes in a song's lyrics has become commonplace. Generally, the mixed code comes from foreign language fragments. Concerning this, there is a phenomenon that occurs in Minangkabau, West Sumatra. They mix language codes, not only foreign languages but also Minangkabau language codes into Indonesian song lyrics. Uniquely, Minangkabau language code mixed not only in the form of original vocabulary but also in the form of interference.The goal is to emphasize the humorous or humorous elements in the song. In addition, they hope that the fragments of the Minangkabau language can be remembered by teenagers who began to be embarrassed using the language of the region. There are form of mixed code: tak nia ‘dislike’, penduta ‘lier’, padiarin ‘leave it’, and berkada ‘scabies’. Song lovers will find it funny and easy to remember the flakes that are indirectly the language of the ‘slip of the tongue’area.
