Abstract
The purpose of this research was to identify the linguistic forms of Thai and English code-mixing in the Thai online magazine, “A Day.” The study also focused on the nativization of English used by Thai people in the magazine. Data were collected from three interviews between interviewers and interviewees. English loanwords or borrowed words were excluded. Three hundred forty-seven (347) samples were analyzed, based on two frameworks, to classify English words that appeared in the passages into types of linguistic forms and nativized features. The most frequently found linguistic unit was lexical words (81.8%), followed by phrases (8.2%), incomplete sentences (4.7%), single full sentences (2.9%), and short form (1.5%). Letters of the alphabet was least frequently found (0.9%). Themost frequently found nativized feature was semantic shift (33.3%), followed by truncation (25.9%), conversion (22.2%), and hybridization (14.8%). Reduplication was least frequently found (3.7%). The mixing of English in Thai was found in Thai online magazine and used by Thai people. In addition, the result showed that those who were not proficient in English were found to mix English in Thai as well.
