  • 1.    Background

Language is an important part in human life. Language is one of the vital factors that differentiate human from other creatures. As a human being, we need language to express our emotions, ideas, feelings, and thoughts to people by using sounds, gestures and signals that have pattern. The use of language allows one to maintain relationship with other people in an interaction. So, language is a communication device using

sounds, signs, and symbols which have meaning. In communication, people use language in a practical way. We use it virtually in everything we do. Language is so automatic and natural that people pay less attention to it, but sometimes emphasized by the fact that they do not speak quite good as others do. Many people need to have professionals to learn about language, although to simply being able to use it.

Sapir (1965:78) states that “Language is a purely human and non instinctive method of communicating ideas, emotions, and desires by means of a system of voluntarily produced symbols”. From the quotation above, 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. By language, people are able to interact and communicate one another for whatever they do. Moreover, Lado (1957:18) says that language is the system of speech sound by which human beings, communicate with one another. The study of language that is related to society is called Sociolinguistics which consists of two words:

  • •    Socio means social or related to society

  • •    Linguistics means the science of language

However, language is a complex. In other words, it is not enough just to know the meaning of the sentences uttered, but the context of situation and the context of the culture must be understood, such as it is public or private, formal or informal, who is being addressed, and who might be hear the sentences.

  • 6.    Conclusion

Register as a variety of language in use is dependent on context. The main components of a context are the participants and their relation. As closeness or distance in relation between individuals is a relative notion, the formality of the language used is necessarily a gradient. differentiated five grades of formality in

English: frozen,formal, consultative, casual, and intimate. These styles of English are not all widely used. The frozen style is mostly used on ceremonies. The intimate style is used between family members and very close friends. The language may be highly abbreviated or even slangy. As styles are dependent on contexts, not all ideas can be expressed on all these levels of formality. The following sentences all express the same fact, but they vary in formality.
