Data was gathered through documentation. After that, the data were analyzed through content analysis. The results presented that there were 25 data that were categorized into three types of representative acts represented on code switching and code mixing that were found in Yuvi Phan's Instragram reels. There were 14 data of assertions, 9 data of suggestions, and 2 data of statements. The second result presented that 25 data were categorized into three types of language functions of representative act represented on code switching and code mixing that were found in Yuvi Phan's Instragram reels.

INTRODUCTION According to Ashfira and Hardjanto (2021), speech acts are essential, especially in communication, because they are acts of communication. People say what is on their minds, ideas, or beliefs, which causes the other person to act unconsciously. Arguments, descriptions, explanations, and information may be provided. It is undeniable that communication methods are being altered by technology in this digital age. According to Finegan (2008), there are various kinds of speech acts, six have received particular attention, there are representatives, commissives, directives, declarations, expressive, and verdictives. Among the kinds of speech act, the researcher focused on representative acts, because representative acts are frequently used in communication, such as literary works like novels, plays, short stories, and movies use representative acts.

Speech acts are indicated by some action words in sentences that the speakers express, feel and believe. From those actions words can be used to inform listeners about the speaker. As a result, whenever a speaker speaks to a listener and uses a code switch or code mix, they always do something to make what they are saying more understandable. Speech acts are a term used in linguistics to describe behaviors occurring when speakers speak to listeners. Speakers are able to deliver the utterance clearly through speech acts. Clark (1981) said that language serves purposes, some of which includes: giving information, delivering messages, expressing feelings, persuading people, entertaining 142 JOURNAL OF LINGUISTICS, CULTURE AND COMMUNICATION Vol.01, No.01, 2023: December: 141-161 people, and sharing opinions. Language functions are utilized to adapt speech to the context and setting in order to convey a goal or purpose. This indicates that language functions to convey some meaning to the listener in order for them to comprehend what the speaker is saying. Language functions as a utilization to which language is put, the reason for an expression as opposed to the specific linguistic structure an expression takes. A language function can be used to describe any purpose. Language functions can appear in representative acts, marked by words or phrases representing giving information, delivering messages, expressing feelings, persuading, entertaining, and sharing opinions. There are several previous studies that in line to this research. The first previous study is An Analysis of Representative Speech Acts in 'The Daily TaIk Show": Pragmatics Approach by Suryanti. This exploration was meant to examine the classes and the factors that impact the utilized of agent discourse acts in 'The Daily TaIk Show". The Searle theory was used to examine the classes of representative speech acts, while the Hymes theory was used to examine the factors of speaking. The descriptive qualitative method was used to analyze this study, which was explained using words, phrases, and sentences. The utterances containing representative illocutionary speech acts served as the source for the data. In order to collect the data, the researcher employed observational, non-participatory, and note-taking techniques. According to the researcher, there were thirty data on representative illocutionary speech acts. There were 6 data for "believe," 5 data for "state and complain," three data for "agree," "predict," and "suggest," 2 data for "claim and assure," 1 data for "remind," and none for "report, conclude, and deduce."
