The periodical press, etc. Press This study seeks to analyse the occurrence of code-switching in Malaysian advettising industry by focussing on "Manglish" and "bahasa roja/f' phenomena. Code-switching occurs when more than one language is used simultaneously, or when different languages are mixed and switched during the same communication process. Advertising as one form of marketing communication and newspaper as an influential medium have been evolving due to various factors, thus code-switching in newspaper advertisements appears to be inevitable. In this study, a content analysis over a period of six months has been piloted on two leading newspapers in the country, namely The Star and Harian Metro. Over three hundred advertisement samples containing over one thousand code-switching incidences are analysed to accomplish the objectives of the study.
