Abstract
Switching and mixing become part of linguistic diversity in multilingual country. Experts believe that switching and mixing between language purposed to emphasize statement, quote idea, strengthening command or request and so forth [1]. This study tries to investigate the types of code switching and mixing that used in Leti and more is to see the frequency of the usability of code switching and mixing in one single speech. The data is analyzed qualitatively to see the types and statistically to discover the frequency of usability. The finding shows that there are two types of switching that appeared, namely; tag switching and syntactical inter sentential as shown in the phrase ‘Yance kamaringitu!..., and nanti bangun ka? Tidur lai?. Moreover, there are two types of mixing that discovered they are insertion and alternation as in ‘Karna rie rkenale, apalagi rpatromnena rie he nwene…’, wakampungo’. The frequency of usability also showed that tag switching highly used in this speech with numbers of lexical is 137 words and the frequency of usability is 0,1, followed by the syntactical-inter-sentential switching 77 words and the frequency is 0,05, the numbers of insertion is 49 words with 0,04 in its frequency and alternation with 14 words and 0,01 for its frequency.
