CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

1.1Background of the Study

Humans are part of social environment. They need to interact, to communicate and to express their ideas to the others, one of the ways to interact with each other is through communication. Communication will run well with the use of language. They need language as a tool to do all the things. Language is a systematic way of combining smaller units for the purpose of communication. Language also is not only about talking, but also writing is also part of language. So, when people write and talk, they use language. It is worthwhile, we believe, because it is such an important part of all our lives. How an individual uses the systems available to them varies according to who speaker is, how they perceive themselves, and what identity they want to project. Nababan (1986 : 10) says “to communicate is to deliver message and meaning from one person to other by using language”.

Language has two major functions, they are interactional function and transactional function. Interactional function deals with how humans use language to interact each other socially or emotionally. Transactional function deals with whereby humans use their linguistics abilities to communicate knowledge, skills and information (Yule, 1985 : 5-6). Nowadays, there are so many experts who study about language that called linguistics.

(15)

group who share the same norms in regard to language… who share a set of social attitude toward language. Another important dimension of language is the very different attitudes, language changes, language plans, and also language use.

Language choice purposes us to use language all the time. Our language choice can also be a reflection of the social groups we associate particular words or kinds of linguistics behavior. The notion of language choice becomes vital in understanding the concept of a speech community. Language choice needs to be applied when we want to talk to each other, with awareness of language choice we can talk more polite in a conversation. As a student of University, awareness on the language choice needs to be applied in each of our conversation especially to lecturer, parents, and each other as well. Awareness of language choice supports us to give a good presentation, increasing competence and a good performance in our environment.

There are some cases that happen in the society about language attitude, especially for students as the future generation. One of them is found in Resimen Mahasiswa of University of Sumatera Utara (USU). For example, the members use a

language when they want talk with each member in Resimen Mahasiswa of

(16)

meaning, using the polite word or the norm for speaking will support us to be a good person.

In Resimen Mahasiswa of University of Sumatera Utara are required to be able to speak the language properly in the military. For example: "yes (siap), permits (izin)", and shall be respectful amongst members, also with commandant. The requirement to be able to know and to apply the words in Resimen Mahasiswa, requires all senior and junior members to be able to apply it in daily communication, whether it is in Resimen Mahasiswa or in the campus life. The study of languages choice in Resimen Mahasiswa itself can be obtained in daily communication in the Resimen Mahasiswa. There is no training or material that are specifically given to the members, especially the new members. They can hear the communication which occurs directly between their seniors in direct communication, members to commandant, and also commandant to members. Thus, with the direct communication which happens, make the members of Resimen Mahasiswa become able to determine the language that should be applied.

Last but not least, the main point of this analysis emphasizes on how the Resimen Mahasiswa training itself is. It will give the beneficial impact on increasing the language choice of the members of Resimen Mahasiswa in delivering their own opinion and doing their daily activities especially in campus life as the first step to get the better future in social life.

1.2Problem of The Study

Language choice is something that will give a big contribution in social life. In most crucial human activities, success depends on knowledge, skill, and self-confidence. There are some characteristics, which form the basis of effective speech. Without the knowledge, the speeches become empty or even not succeed. Considering to these opinion, the writer sees some problems that appeared in the students of University of Sumatera Utara, especially the members of Resimen Mahasiswa. There are the problems that have been found by the writer :

1. How is the language choice between commandant to members, members to commandant, and members to members of Resimen Mahasiswa of University of Sumatera Utara in daily communication?

2. What are the effects of joining Resimen Mahasiswa towards members in language choice?

1.3Objective of the Study

(18)

1. To describe the language choice between commandant to member, member

to commandant, and member to member of Resimen Mahasiswa of

University of Sumatera Utara.

2. To describe how the Resimen Mahasiswa of University of Sumatera Utara helps the students in developing language choice after joining in Resimen Mahasiswa.

1.4Scope of the Study

CHAPTER II

RESEARCH OF RELATED LITERATURE

2.1Theoretical Background 2.1.1 Linguistics

Linguistics is the scientific study of human’s language. The primary object is human language signifying that language is human specific and human species. It is only human that uses language as a means of communication. Humans use language to do communicate and interact with others. Linguistics does not study every form of human’s language. It focused on analyzing human’s verbal language. It focused on analyzing human’s verbal language; the language that consists of words. Hudson (in Umar and Napitupulu 1994 : 1) says : “Linguistik adalah disiplin yang mempelajari struktur bahasa tanpa mengkaji konteks sosisal tempat struktur itu dipelajari atau digunakan”. (Linguitics is a scientific discipline about language structure without examine the social context where the structure is learned or used).

(21)

Today, to the advance study on language, linguistics is usually perceived as an independent field. Language and its social setting should be studied as a significant linguistics field. Language reflects society; it also serves to pass on social structure, for learning a language is central feature of being socialized. Language and society may not be purely human but they are such fundamental human phenomena that they cry out for better understanding. Language use also varies according to the situation, whether it is public or private, formal or informal, who is being addressed, and who might be able to overhear.

2.1.2 Sociolinguistics

The topic about language choice is discussed in sociolinguistics extensively. Sociolinguistics refers to a study of the relationship between language and society. The research on choice is traditionally seen as something belonging to sociology, while study of research language belongs to linguistics. So, this research of language choice in Resimen Mahasiswa of University of Sumatera Utara belongs both of sociology and linguistics or sociolinguistics.

Sociolinguistics is a branch of linguistics that takes language as an object study. Sociolinguistics was used more to refer to the study of language in relation to society, sociolinguistics itself focus of study is language. Sociolinguistics is concerned with investigating the relationship between language and society with the goal being a better understanding of the structure of language and of how language function and language use through communication.

(22)

(1986) says that “sociolinguistics is concerned with investigating the relationship between language and society with the goal of a better understanding of the structure of language and how language functions and language use in communication”.

Peter Mathew (1997) sociolinguistics is any study of language in relation to society. Bernard Spolsky (1998), sociolinguistics is the field that studies the relation between language and society, between the uses of language and social structures in which the users of language live.

Sylvia Chalker and Edmund Weiner (1998), sociolinguistics is the study of language in relation to social factors. Then, Fishman (in Chaer and Agustina, 1995 : 4) says that sociolinguistics as the study of characteristics of language varieties, the characteristics of their function, and the characteristics of their speaker as these constantly interact, change and change one another within a speech community.

(23)

Some early linguistics researches observed that our language is potent enough to influence the way we behave. According to this view, language said to be able to influence or determine the behaviors of the users. But sociolinguistics is more to a different direction: the social environment is believed to influence that language uses. The point is, sociolinguistics is the study, which has a relationship between language and social factors in a speech community.

2.2Language Use

Language use symbolically represents fundamental dimensions of social behavior and human interaction. People use language in patterned ways. People use more formal ways of speaking when talking to someone important. The notion is simple, but the ways in which language reflects behavior can often be complex and subtle. Furthermore, the relationship between language and society affects a wide range of encounters--from broadly based international relations to narrowly defined interpersonal relationships. A slightly different concern with language and society focuses more closely on the effect of particular kinds of social situations on language structure.

(24)

should be used, or how language change occurs and spreads to communities. To answer these questions related to language as social activity, sociolinguists often use ethnographic methods. That is, they attempt to gain an understanding of the values and viewpoints of a community in order to explain the behaviors and attitudes of its members.

2.3Language Choice

Language choice depends on some factors such as participants, setting, topic, and so on (Sumarsono and Paina 2002: 199). Evan Tripp (1972) in Faturrohman (2009) identified four main factors in language choice, they are setting (time and place) and situation, participants in the interaction, topic of the conversation, and interaction functions. Brown Ford (1961), Sibayan (1984), and Rubin (1972) have done a research about it, and they conclude that in some reasons, they are intimacy level, social statue, situation (formal or informal), and location.

Fishman’s (1964: 1972a) concept of domains language choice behavior was a major breakthrough in the sociolinguistics study of language choice behavior. He describes language choice behavior in stable bilingual setting in terms of the domain allocation of languages (a varieties). Domains are linked to particular linguistic varieties where they. As compared to social situations, are abstractions from the intersection between specific role relationships (statuses), specific settings (locales) and specific topics.

(25)

conversational exchange. Scotton claims further that language choices are not a function of situation but rather the function of negotiation, and sees speaking as ‘a rational process involving decisions’ (Scotton, 1983: 115).

According to Scotton, speakers’ communicative competence will include their recognition of code choices as either unmarked or marked in reference to the norms of their speech community. She adds that community norms ‘designate specific linguistics choice as the unmarked realization of a specific set of rights and obligations holding between a speaker and addressee’ (Scotton 1983: 115).

In all multilingual communities speakers switch among languages or varieties as monolinguals switch among styles. Language choice is not arbitrary and not all speech communities are organized in the same way (Romaine 1994: 36). Often this kind of social meaning can only be interpreted by the understanding of what relationship exists between the choices of the particular code to some factors other than linguistic factors, example social as well as situational factors.

In fact, sociolinguistic literature has documented several studies which have made use of situational dimensions, social networks, role relations and domains of language behavior to describe the patterns of language choice behavior in various kinds of bilingual and multilingual communities. The choice of styles or language or even the use of appropriate address and kinship terms may indicate the type of social relationship held between interlocutors.

2.4Speech Community

(26)

defines speech community as “all the people who speak a single language and so share notions of what is same or different in phonology or grammar, this would include any group of people, wherever they might be, and however remote might be the possibility of their ever wanting or being able to communicate with each other, all using the same language. The whole set of people who communicate with each other, either directly or indirectly, via the common language.

The second quote by Leonard Bloomfield (1933 : 42) explain that the creation of communication within the community is added, if two communities both spoke the same language but had no contact with each other at all, they would count as different speech communities. Here is the quoted: A speech community is a group of people who interact by mean of speech. Carol M. Eastman (1983) the term speech community refers to the unit analysis of a language in its context, that is : The speech community is the unit of analysis of language in a culture or in society. A speech community is a set of individuals who share the knowledge of what is the appropriate conduct and interpretation of speech. These individuals also share the understanding of at least one language, that they may communicate with each other (Jendra : 30).

In a speech community, for sure there is a speech acts. Chaer and Agustina (1954 : 46) that define speech acts as :

(27)

2.4.1 Speaking

Hymes (1974) uses the word speaking as an acronym for the various factors he deems to be relevant. We will now consider these factors one by one.

1. The setting (S) of speech are important. Setting refers to the time, place, occasions, or natural situation that can influence the people in choosing the code. Within a particular setting, of course, participants are free to change scenes, as they change the level of formality or as they change the kind of activity in which they are involved.

2. Participants (P) include various combinations of speakers-listener. A two person conversation involves a speaker and listener whose roles a change. This is consist of people who involved in the communication found in the setting.

3. Ends (E) refers to the conventionally recognized and expected outcomes of an exchange as well as to the personal goals that participants seek to accomplish on a particular occasions. This term is a part of the goals or proposes that speaker wishes to reach. With each go different kinds of language in different situation also and things talked about. Thus, for a different ends, speaker of language often should choose the different word. 4. Act Sequence (A) refers to the other of a speech, a narrative, conversation, or

(28)

5. Key (K) the fifth term, refers to the one, manner, feeling, spirit of the message wished to be captured within the conversation. The key may also be marked nonverbally by certain kinds of behavior, posture, gesture, or even deportment. It is also referred to the spirit captured in the voice or manner of a speaker. The spirit or the feeling may be sincere, modest, or low.

6. Instrumentalities (I) refers to the choice of channel. It is also referred to the register and forms of the speech. The forms that might be under consideration are whether it will be delivered in a more formal way or a casual friendly one. Formal, written, legal language is one instrumentality.

7. Norm of Interaction and Interpretation (N) refers to the specific behaviors and properties that attach to speaking and also to how these may be viewed by someone who does not share them. However, these norms may vary from social group to social group. For example, allowance for an interruption, using gestures freely, eye contact, distance, etc.

8. Genre (G) the final term to clearly to the types of utterances. We can ask someone to stop ‘sermonizing’; that is, we can recognize a genre of sermons when an instance of it, or something closely resembling an instance, occurs outside its usual setting. In a conversation we might not find the factors to be active all together.

(29)

2.5Language Attitude

Language attitude are opinions, ideas, feelings, behaviors, and prejudices that speakers have with respect to a language. Language conveys attitude. Attitude is a concept that is presented like whether or not a person on something. Attitude may change partially a result of the experience. When studying language attitude, the concept of motives is important. Moreover, motivation derived from a sense of academic or communicative success is more likely to motivate one to speak the language.

Language in a community may be different from other communities how language use can be influenced according to the different social characteristics. In summary, the attitude of speaking is the way someone treats language influenced by knowledge and views on the language and the environment in which it interacts with specific language.

In accordance with statement above, we can determine language attitude on specific groups of people by looking at emerging or growing indications that surface in daily life associated with the use of language. If the indications lead to more positive attitudes in general it can be said that the society has positive language attitude, and vice versa. Shortly, if the society treats a language properly, appropriately, and in accordance with the context or situation where and when they still have a positive attitude towards the language.

(30)

interaction with the environment. Someone who lives in the neighborhood who did not discipline in the language most likely will go well do the same, and vice versa.

Some language attitude studies are strictly limited to attitudes toward the language itself. Language attitudes show whether someone happy or not to speak or to use a language. Therefore, the attitude of the language can be grouped into two, namely a positive attitude and negative attitude. According to Chaer (1995: 200) language attitude is a relatively long-term systems of belief or cognition, partly about language, and partly about the object of language which give tendency to someone to react and some certain pleases ways. The attitude is usually be positive (if judged as good or preferred) or otherwise be negative (if judged as not good or dislike).

2.6Resimen Mahasiswa (MENWA)

(31)

MENWA is national defense reserve component training that given military science such as the use of weapons, combat tactics, survival, skydiving, military martial, military training itself, disguises, navigation and so on. MENWA is also part of the academic community college that played a role in building the public mindset in terms of the importance of awareness of the love of the homeland and defending the country.

MENWA was given the authority and responsibility that is different from the other organization and it is directly under of their rectorate itself. In the University of

Sumatera Utara is a founding pioneer organization level College Resimen

Mahasiswa of Sumatra Utara. It began in February 1976 when the Pusat Cadangan Nasional (PUSCADNAS) Dephankam RI sends a letter to USU, which it is asking for USU delegate some of his students to follow the leadership of the Resistance Education Cadre Course Public Safety (SUSKAPIN WANKAMRA). Exactly one year after the study, exactly 12 February 1977 inaugurated one of the students who enroll as a commandant of University of Sumatera Utara. The inauguration date which was adopted as the date of birth of Resimen Mahasiswa of University of Sumatera Utara.

(32)

Sciences, Engineering Faculty, Economics Faculty, Social and Political Sciences and Cultural Studies Faculty.

In Resimen Mahasiswa, people generally assume that the Resimen Mahasiswa is a military organization, but in the fact Resimen Mahasiswa it just a student organization learn about the leadership, language attitudes, and improve the skills. As the other student organizations, although in MENWA sometimes also used as an army or national reserve. On Wednesday and Saturday are the days which all members of MENWA of University of Sumatera Utara have the obligatory activity in the Resimen Mahasiswa of University of Sumatera Utara. First, all the members going to do the ceremony, in MENWA it is namely “APEL” it is an activity which is always do in MENWA. Next, continue with others activity, such as: running, warming, cooling, and the others activity, in MENWA namely “Pembinaan Fisik” (BINSIK) (Physical Development) then continue with the agenda which is prepared before.

In Resimen Mahasiswa of University of Sumatera Utara there are several stages to become a member of Resimen Mahasiswa. The first begin from a selection. Selection intends to become a junior member in MENWA, at this stage they have not officially said to be an official member of Resimen Mahasiswa of University of Sumatera Utara. Therefore, they must follow “PRADIKSAR” to be considered formally as members of the Resimen Mahasiswa of University of Sumatera Utara after that they must pass the (Basic Training) in MENWA, namely “PENDIDIKAN DASAR” (DIKSAR) to be a members of the Resimen Mahasiswa Indonesia.

(33)

national reserve and part of a well-trained people who are ready to participate in preserving the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia. The means of Panca Dharma Satya is the promise of Indonesian students as a members of MENWA, are:

• We are the students of the citizen, Republic of the Indonesia based on the

Pancasila.

• We are students who are aware of the responsibility and honor of the country

and do not know the defense gave up.

• We are the young generation of Indonesia who have knight spirit and the fear

of God Almighty and defend honesty, truth, and justice.

and be aware of the future of the Nation.

• We are students who uphold discipline and unseen, believe with yourself and

put national interests above personal or group interest.

(34)

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHOD

3.1Research Design

The observation is located in Jl. Universitas, no.24. This research will be done by applying the qualitative method. Bodgan and Taylor (1989:42) define qualitative method as a procedure generates data in the form of descriptive words written or spoken from people and observed behavior. Bodgan and Biklen (1982) propose five characteristics of qualitative research as quoted from Sugiyono (2009 : 21), they are :

a. Qualitative research has the natural setting as the direct source of data and researcher is the key instrument.

b. Qualitative research is descriptive. The data collected is in the form of words of pictures rather than number.

c. Qualitative research are concerns with process rather than simply with outcomes or products.

d. Qualitative research tends to analyze their data inductively. e. “Meaning” is essential to the qualitative approach.

(35)

activity in supplying the data is an activity that takes place in stimulant with an activity in data analysis; the process is organized in cycles not linear. Of course, it is not release from the basic of qualitative research that the propose is to understand the phenomenon of social belonging to phenomenon of language which is being do).

Therefore, in this method by seeing the participants’ culture, what participants see as important in behavior, physical or social environment, or other factors are done for doing this thesis.

In addition, in analyzing the data, the descriptive method is relevant to be used in the process of the research. The procedure of descriptive theory is done by describing or explaining the data. As what Nawawi (1995:63) says “metode deskriptif dapat diartikan sebagai prosedur pemecahan masalah yang diselidiki dengan menggambarkan atau melukiskan keadaan subjek atau objek penelitian (seseorang lembaga, masyarakat, dan lain-lain) pada saat sekarang berdasarkan fakta-fakta yang tampak atau sebagaimana adanya”. (The descriptive method can be meant as the procedure to solve the problem which is researched with describes the condition of subject or object of the research (person, organization, society, etc) in this time base on the concrete actual facts or the way of things exists).

This is due to the data collected, analyzed, and presented descriptively. Descriptive method is different from other methods, such as prescriptive or other methods. Descriptive method has several characteristics, namely:

1. Not concerned about right or wrong subject studied.

(36)

Descriptive method will only describe a variable, symptoms and conditions just the way it is. Nawawi (1995:61) states that method is a way which conducted in order to reach the goal, doing the research related to language attitude research, there are data, methods and designs of researchers that are used in order to make complete the research that will be explained further in this chapter.

The design of this research is descriptive qualitative research. Based on the five characteristics of qualitative research as proposed by Bodgan and Bilken, this research will show the nature of the situation as it exists at the time of the collecting data and will be collected in words form.

3.2Data and Data source

To do this research, the writer needs data and data source. The data source that are used in this research are the members of Resimen Mahasiswa of University of Sumatera Utara (USU) who come from different background of the study either in major of study of faculty in the campus life, more than 25 people. The data that are going to be analyzed in this research is taken from their utterances.

Utterance does not have a precise linguistic definition. In doing a daily conversation, each turn by speaker may be considered an utterance. Utterances are sometimes used by linguists in research in order to get advancement of the study of language. Linguistics sometimes uses utterances to simply refer to a unit of speech under study. In this research also shown the relationship of language choice and language attitude between commandant to members, members to commandant, and members to members.

A. The relationships about language choice between commandant to members, members to commandant, and members to members in

Resimen Mahasiswa.

and amongst members is very significant and positive to the improvement and there is a relation on both sides. And the commandant realizes that language choice is very important because he thought that suppose he does not know about the language choice, especially the language choice in Resimen Mahasiswa may be in his period it will not running well. So that, he must know the way to speak as a commandant. Beside that, it is also occur to the members. As a members appreciate with the command of commandant is a thing that must to do, there is not the reason to ignore it.

The members should be know the way to speak with the commandant as members, because as proper the members to appreciate the leader, especially in army life. A command from the commandant is something that can not be bargain. It is not just commandant to members, members to commandant but it also occurs in members to members.

To whom we speak, and the location concern is needed to know well for make the conversation can be understood.

When become a commandant the language used was more inclined which to make get closer to the members of the goal for what is delivered or ordered to them better to enforce and not only see the "I" just as a commandant, but what is delivered to them (the members) they can take it easy and u
