Abstract

This article examines the use of Indonesian–English code-mixing in the novel Marmut Merah Jambu by Raditya Dika. The study focuses on identifying the types and functions of code-mixing and their role in shaping language style and characterization. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research analyzes code-mixing found in narration and dialogue. The findings show that code-mixing contributes to a modern, informal, and humorous writing style and reflects contemporary youth identity in Indonesian literature.
