Abstract

The research entitled “Language Style Found In Indonesia Movie” is intended to identify kinds

of language style and tries to find the most dominant language style usage employed on the Five

Indonesian movies. The writer use the Martin Joos Theory (1967) “the five types are Frozen style,

Formal style, Consultative style, Casual style and Intimate style. The researches collects the data from

Five DVD of Indonesian movies“ LaskarPelangi (The rainbow troops), HabibiedanAinun (Habibie and

Ainun), Sang Pencerah (The Enlightener), Skandal (The Scandal) and Ada ApaDenganCinta” (What’s

Up With Love). The writer using the noting technique by taking a note in collecting the data, the writer

applies the descriptive method to describe and to analyze all the data, because the data of this research

are in the form of words. It is analyzed by identifying, analyzing, and categorizing, the data. The

writeralso note the frequency of the number of the kind of language style and the most dominant

language style. Based on the result of the research, there are five language styles of found in

Indonesian movies. They are 3.6% Frozen style, 12.5 % Formal style, 19.4% Consultative style, 6.7%

Casual style, 3.8% Intimate style. Based on the percentage of the dominant language style used is

Casual. The writer suggestfor students of English Department ,English teacher and lecturers, to

improve their knowledge of language style For scriptwriter , to improve the Indonesian movies to be

well known by language style that I have analyzed from five Indonesian movies that casual style make

the movies to be more interesting for people who watches Indonesian movies to know what style used

most interesting in the movies dialogue

Key Words : Language style, Frozen Style, Formal Style, Consultative Style, Casual

Style, Intimate Style

1. Background of the Study

Language is one important aspect in the life of all beings. By language, people can

make interaction and making communication with others and also people can transfer

information to others and people can express ideas and emotions, make sense of complex and

abstract thoughts, to fulfill our wants and needs, as well as to establish rules and maintain our

culture. Language is a system of communication not just through language but through such

means as a gestures, art, dress and music. Often times they will refer to language as a verbal

behavior, which is include gestures and body movements as well as spoken word.

Behaviorists often define language as a learned behavior involving a stimulus and a response.

The language offers a vast array of choices in sentence structure, phrasing,

vocabulary, verb tense, and voice. Fiction writers use this variety to their advantage in

crafting a thought, description, or action. Different language choices can create a huge range

of styles and tones for any given expression. These different styles and tones give the story its

unique meaning. In most cases, a story’s way of being told is at least as significant as its

content.

Linguistics is science that conducted within a field of a language. Linguistics is

multidisciplinary, specialist in many disciplines bring their own expertise to the study of

language. Linguistics is a property of the human mind, they have contributed many insights

into such topics as how people acquire language. Linguistics is the scientific study of human

language, it’s consists of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics

and sociolinguistics.

Sociolinguistics is the study of the relation between language and society.

Sociolinguistics also branch of linguistics and sociology. Sociolinguistics focus on what

factor of language and language’s effect on the society, including cultural norms expectation,

interaction, context and the way language is used including language varieties and language

style and how people use it in daily life.

Language style is defined as the choice of words used by a specific group of people

when speak in a place and in one condition. Language Style is pivotal of construct in the

study of sociolinguistics variation. Language style is very important for people to express

their ideas, people use style depend on with whom they speak and where they speaking too.

So, people can suit the style with rules well. Speaking is the delivery of language through the

mouth. Speaking is happen when two or more people talk about something. They speaking by

use language, certainly there are kind of language style there.

There are many people watch the movies, people watch the movies in anytime. They

watch the movies because the actors or the action in the movie. In other side people does not

care about the way of conversation on movie, people do not understand how the actors setting

conversation on movie. Movie is a series of still image which, when shown on a screen. It is

a reason that the writer became interested to know about the conversation on the movies. He

want analyze and find the styles of language in conversation in five Indonesian movies.

According to Martin Joos Five Clocks Times (1976:153-155) there five types of style

of language as follows: Frozen style (oratorical), Formal style (deliberative), Consultative

style, Casual style, Intimate style.

Based on the five styles of languages, the writer will conduct a research titled

“Language Style Found in Indonesian Movies”.

Tthe objective of the study as follows: to find out types of Language styles used in the

Indonesian movies Laskar Pelangi (The rainbow troops), Habibie & Ainun (Habibie and

Ainun), Sang Pencerah (The Enlightener), Skandal (The Scandal) and Ada Apa Dengan

Cinta (What Up with Love) and to find out which styles occur dominantly in conversation

in the movies based on context.

5

The writer limits his analysis based on five types of Language Styles according to

Martin Joos (1976). They are Frozen Style, Consultative Style, Formal Style, Casual Style

and Intimate Style. He will conduct the research in the movie. The data of the research is

limited on five Indonesian movies. They are Laskar Pelangi (The rainbow troops), Habibie

& Ainun (Habibie and Ainun), Sang Pencerah (The Enlightener), Skandal (The Scandal) and

Ada Apa Dengan Cinta (What Up with Love).

The result of the study would be useful, theoretically, to enrich the readers with

sociolinguistics knowledge specifically about the five language styles., and ractically, this

research can be an advantages and useful to the readers for conversation understanding.

Sociolinguistics

Language is a good way for people to connect from one people to many people. By

language, people can share, transfer and get the information. If there is no language there is

no good communication and then people can express their ideas and emotions.

According to Meyerhoff(2007: 2) “sociolinguistics is a very broad field, and it can be

used to describe many different ways of studying language”. A major challenge that

sociolinguistics face is that a lot of the time speakers are completely unaware of the ways in

which language used in differently contexts .Language can changes, the fact that language

changes is indisputable and inevitable. Sociolinguistics interested in variation and change can

be drawn in straight line. In sociolinguistics, language is the means by which groups of

people articulate, themselves, and delineate themselves from others.

According to Anthony (2010:16) “sociolinguistics is a developing branch of

linguistics and sociology which investigates the individual and social variation of language”.

Just as regional variation of language can give a lot of information about the place the

speaker is from, social variation tells about the roles performed by a given speaker within one

community, or country. Sociolinguistics is also a branch of sociology in that it reveals the

relationship between language use and the social basis for such use. Sociolinguistics differs

from sociology of language in that the focus of sociolinguistics is the effect of the society on

the language, while the latter's focus is on the language's effect on the society.

Sociolinguistics is a practical, scientific discipline which researches into the language that is

actually used, either by native speakers or foreigners, in order to formulate theories about

language change.

According to Ball (2010:12) “sociolinguistics is how speakers group themselves in

socially meaningful ways”. It is exploring the relationship between speech and social status,

which is of course still one of the main aims of the field. The main aim of sociolinguistics is

to study language in its social and cultural context. This includes the study of language in a

society or speech community, language varieties, and language functions. Sociolinguistics

relates the differences observed in language use to the problems that arise from those societal

aspects. It is relationship between speech and social status, which is of course still the one of

the main aims of the field.

6

The Relation Between Language and Society

Language is not simply a means of communicating information about a subject, but it

is also a very important means of establishing and maintaining relationships with other

people and it is known that language plays a crucial role and a vital role in human life and

also has many advantages of many various aspects of human life. In a social reflection like

conversation, we can indicate a language behavior in which the function and variation of

languages in establishing social relationships is reflected.

The importance of these relationships has led to the growth of a relatively new sub-

discipline within linguistics; Sociolinguistics. It is a broad but fair generalization to say that

much of linguistics has in the past completely ignored the relationship between language and

society-language is very much social phenomenon and then it is a broad field used to describe

many different ways of language various.

According to Coulmas (1998:1) “sociolinguistics is a term that refers to the study of

the relationship between language and society and how language is used in multilingual

speech communities”. Sociolinguists are interested in explaining why people speak

differently in different social contexts. And the effect of social factors such as social distance,

social status, age, gender, class on language varieties dialects, registers, genres, and they are

concerned with identifying the social functions of language and the way they are used to

convey social meanings .Sociolinguistics is concerned with describing language use as a

social phenomenon and, where possible, it attempts to establish causal links between

language and society, pursuing the complementary questions of what language contributes to

making community possible and how communities shape their languages by using them.

Language Variation

Sociolinguistics today is generally more concerned with social variation in language

than with regional variation. However, people gain a sound understanding of the various

procedures used in studies of social variation, we should look at least briefly at previous work

in regional dialectology. That work points the way to understanding how recent

investigations have proceeded as they have. Studies of social variation in language grew out

of studies of regional variation. It was largely in order to widen the limits and repair the flaws

that were perceived to exist in the latter that investigators turned their attention to social-class

variation in language.

According to Wardhaugh (2006:135) in sociolinguistics, “languages vary in many

ways”. One way of characterizing certain variations is to say that speakers of a particular

language sometimes speak different dialects of that language. Although I have already noted

how difficult it is to define dialect, we may still find it useful to use the term in our work in

sociolinguistics, and even to extend its use from studies of regional variation to those of

social variation. In this way it would be possible to talk about both regional dialects and

social dialects of a language. Just as a regional dialect marks off the residents of one region

from those of other regions, a social dialect would be a variety associated with a specific

social class or group, marking that class or group off from other classes or groups. However,

7

if this further differentiation of varieties is to be successful, it will require us to be able to find

linguistic features which are associated with differences in classes or groups and, of course,

to define what we mean by these latter terms.

Llamas (2007:49-84) limitin social correlates, they are in different kinds as follows:

1. Social Class

The core of sociolinguistics is the fact that human societies are internally

differentiated whether by gender age and class.The position of the speaker in the society,

measured by the level of education, parental background, profession and their effect on

syntax and lexis used by the speaker. An important factor influencing the way of formulating

sentences is, according to sociolinguists, the social class of the speakers. Thus, there has been

a division of social classes proposed in order to make the description accurate. Two main

groups of language users, mainly those performing non-manual work and those with more

years of education are the ‘middle class’, while those who perform some kind of manual

work are ‘working class’. The additional terms ‘lower’ and ‘upper’ are frequently used in

order to subdivide the social classes.

2.Gender

Gender will have made apparent, linguists have approached language and gender

from a variety of perspectives. Differences in patterns of language use between men and

women, such as quantity of speech, intonation patterns. Gender is conceptualized as

something that is ‘done’. Gender is never static but it produced actively and interaction with

others every day of our lives. Every time we speak, we have to bring off being a woman or a

being a man.

In distinction, being a woman or being man also been challenged. It is felt that binary

such as man-woman, male-female, masculine-feminine distort and oversimplify thinking.

Gender is not a matter who of two separate and homogeneous social categories. One

associated with being female, the other associated being male, male and female speakers

differ in many ways, but there are also many areas of overlap. The preoccupation with

difference relies on an essentialist idea of a gender, that is, on the idea that male and female

can be reduced to unquestioned essences.

3.Age

The speaker’s age related place in society is often seen in terms of the life stage they

are moving through. Although it is considerable oversimplification, the life span is

commonly divided. Age perhaps the least examined and the least understood in

sociolinguistics terms. Age is as a fundamental a dimension of our social and personal

identities as our gender or ethnicity. Age often approached uncritically and treated as a

biological fact with the speakers, and against which other facets of four identities are played

out.

2.4 Language Style

Language has a potentiality for making communication successfully. If there is no

language its nothing, and language is very important to pay attention of variation of language

and variation of styles to achieve fluent communication. Language is like uniform, a badge of

8

flag which signals one’s group membership in addition to the cognitive information it

conveys.

According to Eckert (2002:1)“language style is pivotal construct in the study of

sociolinguistics variation”.Language style is the locus of the individual’s internalization of

broader social of distribution variation. The broad conception on style as a social of

distinctiveness has some precedents is sociological work. Using style in the same loose

fashion, however, hardly solves anything, and goes against the usage of style by most people

in relation to individual texts or individual speakers. Another thing that complicates the study

of dialect is the fact that speakers can adopt different styles of speaking depending on the

circumstances speakers can speak very formally or informally.

According to Hornberger (2010:177) people engage in different ways of speaking has

attractedmuch attention from sociolinguists in the past decades. Initially,

quantitativelyoriented sociolinguists tried to map with what frequency

speakersconventionally shifted styles in different social contexts, and consequentlyshowed

how social hierarchies are inscribed on routine speech patterns.Style as speaking does to

speech. Speech and style are then the products, or the sediment, of the preceding interaction;

the interaction itself, in turn, may be seen as ‘styling or speaking-in-action’.

According to Holmes (2003:116) the intersection of social and style is one of the

most important findings of sociolinguistics, if a feature occurs more frequently in working-

class speech, then it will occur more frequently in the informal speech of all speakers.

Generally speaking, the use of non-standard forms increases the less formal the style and the

lower one's social status, with men's scores higher than women's. Although each class has

different average scores in each style, generally speaking all groups style-shift in the same

direction in their more formal speech style, that is, in the direction of the standard language.

According to Llamas (2007:95) “language style is dimension of language where

individual speakers have a choice”. People do not always speak in consistently the same way.

In fact people shifting the way we speak constantly as we move from one situation to another.

Style is the linguistic idiosyncrasy of an individual. Style is personal. Style in social roles

includes expected behavior associated with a particular status. It is more flexible than status

and varies also according to the speech situation. Incompatibility of requirements imposed by

roles upon individuals may result in a role strain and role conflict.

According to Simpson (2004:22) “in language, style is a choicethat people everyday

is shaped and defined by actions and events,thoughts and perceptions,and it is an important

function of the system of languagethat it is able to account for these various goings on in the

world”. This meansencoding into the grammar of the clause a mechanism for capturing what

we say,think and do.

As Joos does, in the center of the matrix in consultative style, it provides the norms

for the other styles. Intimate and casual tend to simplify its structural features, its content, or

the effort put in to its planning or execution. In consultative pronunciation is explicit, word

choice is careful, sentence structure is complete. But consultative is nonetheless a

conversational style, the speaker constantly watches the listener’s verbal and non-verbal

9

responses in order to decide whether too much or not enough information is being

transmitted.

Casual is also a conversational style. But it is not for strangers. It tends to make

frequent use ephemeral words and expression which act as badges of shared information or

shared assumptions (slang). Joos claims that all five styles have a stable list of conventional

formulas, which presumably appear only in the style they mark. Intimate styles manifest

extreme structural simplicity. It is characterized by what Joos call extraction. By saying that

public information is positively abolished, he seems to claim that the information

transmission function of language is absent in intimate style. This also implied by the

contents of the communicative function. The participants are indeed so Intimate share much

information and assumptions.

In other side, formal is important, provides transition to his claims about the role. A

formal text is carefully planned is advance. Different with frozen style that lack intonation,

but this is a comment not on its phonology but on the lack of clear evidence of its author’s

intent. In fact frozen style is defined almost exclusively in terms of its role and frozen style

purposely ambiguous. Frozen style invites the reader to enter into a personal experience of

creative discovery.

Martin Joos (1976: 153-155) the enduring of appeal Five Clocks Timesis attributed to

existence of four features of communicative competence.

Intimate Casual Consultative Formal Frozen

Aware - ++++

Monitored --+++

Planned + + - - -

Pre-coded - - - - -

Martin Joos(1976)concluded five styles of language. They are describeas follows:

Frozen Style (Oratorical Style)

Frozen Style is defined as the style which is used in e very formal setting such in

ceremony, palace, and church and some other occasions. This style is defined as the most

elegant variety that reserved for very important or symbolic moments.

In spite of fact, ordinary citizens who attend in the court, religious services, may

demand frozen language because it is not an ordinary occasionand it maybe recognize used

this style

Example:

1) A priest read the holy bible in church ( Joshua 6:7)

“Dankepadabangsaitudikatakannya: “Majulah, keleilingilahkotaitu, dan orang-

orang bersenjaatharusberjalandidepantabutTuhan”. (They said to the people,

“Advance, March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before Yahweh’s

ark).

2) Stated in the Introduction Fundamental Constitution 1945

“Sesungguhnyakemerdekaanituialahahaksegalabangsa.Dan

olehsebabitumakapenjajahandiatasduniaharusdihapuskankarenatidaksesuaidenganp

10

rikemanuasiaandanprikeadilan.”(Actually independence is the right for every nation

and because of that the colonization in the earth has to be abolished because it does

not conformwith the humanity and justice)

Formal Style (Deliberative Style)

Formal style is defined as the style of language that used for important or serious

situation. It is also used in addressing audience usually that is too large or permit effective

interchange between speaker and hearers. Through the forms are normally and not a polished

as those in oratorical style such in a typical classroom lecture is often carry out is formal

style.

Formal style is usually a single topic oriented and it is related to the fact, that formal

writing is technical. Formal style used in school by students, teacher, lecturer, headmaster.

Thus, most scholar or technical reports use this style such as those taking part should sit

during the proceedings.

Example:

1. Mr. : Do you want to learn this course?

Jack : Yes Sir, I want to learn it.

2. Mrs. William, would you like to have a sit first before you deliver your speech?

3. If Mr. Kevin would be so kind ask to let me finish my words.

4. Well, it is rather difficult to say at this point.

5. I would like to introduce myself to you

Consultative Style

Consultative style is style that which used in semiformal communication situation. It

is one type of language which is required from everyday speaker. Consultative style is

typically dialogue, though formal enough that words are chosen with some care like business,

translation, doctor-patient conservation.

The typically of consultative style speech is used between two persons. While one

speaking at intervals the others give short responses, mostly drawn from a small inventory

standard signals. There are basic part of the system, among them are “Yes, No, Huh, Mm,

That’s right “.

Example:

1. Mr. : Would you mind going to upstairs right away,please?

Tom : Of course

2. I am sorry, Could you go now?

3. Excuse me, I think it’s really important for me to add about the topic that we discuss.

4. Actually, we have the same views about this problem. So, why don’t you join with

us?

5. I see. You will change the project and sale it to other companies, right?

2.4.4 Casual Style

11

Casual style is a style that is used for the conversation is relaxed or normal situation

that is appropriate to the conversation with our friends or sometimes members of a family,

such as outside the classroom, when the students have a chat.

Casual style is also characterized by the use of the first name or even nickname rather

than a little name and last name in addressing one another. The pronunciation is rapid and

often slurred, besides that use of slang. Another characterized feature is casual speech is the

omissions of unstressed words, particularly at the beginning of sentence.

Example:

1. Don’t get up!

2. Anybody home?

3. Hello guys, are you okay?

4. Give me some

5. Take it.

Intimate Style

Intimate style is a completely private language developed within families, lovers and

close friends. The intimate labels are: dear, darling, honey and even Mom, Dad, and other

nicknames might use in this situation.

Intimate style is also characterized by ellipsis, deletion, rapid, slurred, pronunciation,

non-verbal communication and private code characterized, it is often unintelligible smallest

social units.

Example:

1. Denny : Hey darling, how are you?

Gomez : Oh baby, kiss me!

2. Really sexy my girl.

3. Damn hot.

4. What is it, honey?

The Background of The Movies

Movies also known as a film are a type of visual communication which use moving

pictures and sound to tell stories or inform (help people to learn). People in every part of the

world watch movies as a type of entertainment, a way to have fun. Movies are made by a

screenwriter write a script, which is the story of the movie with words that actors will say.

Actors and directors read scripts to find out what to say and what to do. The actors memorize

the words from the script that they will say in the movie, and learn the actions that script tells

them to do.

Previous Research

In this previews research, There are three study that the writer taken from graduating

researchlanguage style.

The first research is Language Style Used In Dialogue Among The Characters In

“Ever After Movie” Sociolinguistics Study. Hartono (2009) Faculty Of Letters Ahmad

Dahlan University.

The Research entitled Language Style Used In The Dialogue Among The Characters

In Ever After Movie: Sociolinguistics Study is intended to find out the levels of formality‘s

language in the Ever After Movie. The objective of this study are : a) to describe the level of

formality in Ever After and b) to describe which level types frequently used in Ever After

Movie. This is a descriptive qualitative research.

The researcher analyzes descriptive data in a written form. The technique that is used

in collecting data is noting technique. To analyze the data writer uses referential method by

Sudaryanto, and contextual method by Poedjosoedarmo. The writer uses Martin Joos theory

to analyze the level of formality namely;Frozen Style, Formal Style, Consultative Style,

Casual Style, and Intimate Style.

The result of this research shows that the writer can find levels of formality in Ever

After Movie. All of the level can be found in this movie. They are Frozen Style (6.59 %),

Formal Style (30.76 %), Consultative (18.68 %), Casual Style (25.27 %) and Intimate Style

(14.28%). The highest frequency of level formality is formal language, because in royal

society or kingdom society they usually use formal and polite language. So, the characters in

Ever After Movie use formal language to make conversation among the main character that

have higher position than the other characters.

2. Research Design

This is a descriptive qualitative research. This research works through of some book

and other references like article, and websites in doing this research to support this topic.

Here, the writer some Indonesian movies as the object. So, this research also works using

some written materials like some of books concerning the topic, some literature books, article

and website. These aim to support the ideas of the topic.

According to Dey (1993) Qualitative Data deals with meanings, whereas quantitative

data deals with numbers. It is possible to identify a range of procedures characteristic of

qualitative analysis and capable satisfying a variety of research purposes, whether

ethnographic description and explanation or policy evaluation. The relevance and

applicability of any particular procedure will, of course, depend entirely on the data to be

analyzed and the particular purposes and predilections individual researchers. There is no one

kind of qualitative data analysis, but rather than of approaches, related to the different

perspectives and purposes of researchers.

The source of data taken from scripts of Movies. And writer analyzed the style of

language used in those movie. There are five styles of language used in this data, they are

Frozen Style, Formal style, Consultative Style, Casual Style and Intimate Style that are used

in the Indonesian movies.

There are some steps done for collecting the data as follows, watching the movies, reading

the script of movies, underlying the sentences included in types of language style based on

context of five Indonesian movies ( 30 contexts of one movie)

After collecting the data, the writer analyzes the data by the following steps:,

classifying the data according to the types of the styles of language, tabulating the data

analyzed them and making conclusion

3. The Data
