Abstract

This research addresses early childhood language acquisition (2 years old) with a focus on the acquisition of everyday words. The process of language acquisition involves both biological and social factors, in which interaction with the environment plays an important role. Children learn their first language through everyday communication, not formal teaching. This study used a qualitative descriptive method to observe and analyze the phonology of words produced by 2-year-old Salman. The results showed that children at this age experience rapid language development, with the most frequently used words related to daily needs such as food, body parts, and family members. These findings are important for parents, educators, and researchers in supporting children's optimal development.

Abstract

This research analyzes the use of code-mixing and code-switching in selected song lyrics by Cinta Laura Kiehl. The research aims to identify the types of code-mixing and code-switching that appear in five selected songs: "You Say Aq," "Can't Live," "Have Some Fun," "We Can Do It," and "Let Me Go," and to analyze how these linguistic phenomena are used. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method by analyzing song lyrics based on Hoffman's (1991), theory of code-mixing and Poplack's (1980), theory of code-switching. Data validity is ensured through source triangulation and peer debriefing. The research results show 12 data points consisting of 3 external code-switching data and 9 outer code-mixing data. No internal code-switching or inner code-mixing was found in the five songs. The phenomena of code-mixing and code-switching occur between Indonesian and English or vice versa. This research provides insights into how both linguistic phenomena are used as creative strategies in contemporary Indonesian pop music.
