Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta. The research focuses on the codes that are employed by the characters in the movie entitled “The Java Heat”. The research was conducted to find the types of code switching which are employed in the movie and the functions of the switching. The researcher employs a qualitative method to describe the classifications and the functions of the switching. This research uses sociolinguistics approach and purposive sampling technique. The source of data is the movie entitled the Java Heat and the data is taken from the dialogues in the movie. Bloom &Gumperz (1972) classifies the types of code switching based on contextual/ pragmatic approach. They are situational code switching and metaphorical code switching. The data shows only situational code switching that appears in the movie. It means that all of the switching happens because of the change of situations. There are some situations that influence the code switching such as changing of participants, changing of setting, changing of atmosphere, and changing of norm of situations. Moreover, Poplack (1980) classifies the types of code switching based on grammatical approach. They are tag switching, inter sentential code switching, and intra sentential code switching. The finding shows that there is no intra sentential code switching. The analysis shows that there is no metaphorical code switching and intra sentential code switching involved in the dialogue, which both of refer to code mixing.It proves that there is no code mixing that appears in the data. There are 6 functions found in the data which are based on the analysis. They are: talking about particular topics, interjection, repetition used for clarification, intention of clarifying, expressing group identity, and addressee. The researcher concludes that the main function of the switching is to show the ethnicity and the intimacy between the speakers. Keywords: Code Switching, Code Mixing, Movie, The java Heat
