We perform molecular dynamics simulation on a glass-forming liquid binarymixture with the soft-core potential in three dimensions. We investigatecrossover of the configuration changes caused by stringlike jump motions. Withlowering the temperature $T$, the motions of the particles composing stringsbecome larger in sizes and displacements, while those of the particlessurrounding strings become smaller. Then, the contribution of the latter totime-correlation functions tends to be long-lived as $T$ is lowered. As aresult, the relaxation time $\tau_\alpha$ and the viscosity $\eta$ grow moresteeply than the inverse diffusion constant $D^{-1}$ at low $T$, leading tobreakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation. At low $T$, the diffusion occurs asactivation processes and may well be described by short-time analysis of rarejump motions with broken bonds and large displacements. Some characteristicfeatures of the van Hove self-correlation function arise from escape jumps overhigh potential barriers.
