Alih kode muncul di banyak karya sastra, dan salah satunya adalah di film Eastern Promises. Film Eastern Promises mengandung alih kode dari tiga bahasa berbeda termasuk Bahasa Inggris, Bahasa Rusia, dan Bahasa Turki, dan juga terdapat bukti bahwa fenomena alih kode dapat dijumpai di film yang bertemakan kejahatan. Dalam situasi kriminal, pengguna bahasa melakukan alih kode untuk tujuan-tujuan tertentu. Penelitian ini berfokus pada analisa jenis alih kode dan faktor-faktor sosial yang memicu para tokoh dalam melakukan alih kode melalui penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada delapan puluh satu jenis alih kode yang ditemukan peneliti di dalam film Eastern Promises. Peneliti menemukan tiga jenis alih kode yang digunakan oleh sepuluh tokoh, jenis-jenis tersebut adalah alih kode inter-sentential, alih kode tag, dan alih kode intra-sentential.

Faktor-faktor sosial yang memicu kesepuluh tokoh dalam melakukan alih kode di dalam tuturan-tuturan mereka menunjukkan bahwa varietas bahasa dari sepuluh tokoh tersebut merupakan hasil dari hubungan antara bahasa dan faktor sosial yang terjadi di dalam masyarakat.
