Abstract

This study examines the impact of TikTok on the prevalence of code-mixing among Generation Z in Indonesia. By blending English and Indonesian, TikTok users creatively express themselves and construct their identities, influenced by the platform’s global trends and interactive nature. Employing Muysken's (2000) typology of code-mixing, the research analyzes patterns of insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization observed in TikTok content. Findings reveal that factors such as globalization, identity construction, peer influence, and content adaptation contribute significantly to the phenomenon. This research underscores the dynamic role of social media in shaping linguistic behavior and its implications for sociolinguistic theory and language education.
