ABSTRACT
The main aim and objectives of this research were to identify the implication for code-mixing, and the reason for using code-mixing in Hausa-English bilinguals. It also presented and explained the phenomenon. Three research questions were formulated to guide the study. The study contained six conversation and 1 construction and sentence, which was collected from different respondents. The results show that the Hausa language lack some lexicon that can replace English lexicon.
The data was analysed using (Hoffman 1991:116) types of code-mixing based on the juncture or scope where language take place and Saville Troike (1986) additional approach.
The research show that code-mixing has effect on Hausa-English bilingual and some of the causes of code-mixing is talking about a particular topic, interjection, lack of lexicon in the language and identity with groups, etc.
Finally, the research suggests that the Hausa lexicographer should do more to cover the gap in the lexicon of the language and language teachers should encourage the students to stick to one language at a time and master the language.
