Abstract

The purpose of this study to explain and analyze the various types of code switching that occur in movies and determine the functions for which each character in Pixar's 2017 movie "Coco" uses code switching. The data was gathered from the utterances of all the characters in the Pixar "Coco" (2017) movie which were analyzed using Wardhaugh's (2006) and Holmes' (2001) theories of code switching. The results of this research indicate that there are two types of code switching used by all the characters in the Pixar "Coco" (2017) movie, which are metaphorical code switching and situational code switching.
