Even if they talk in their
own idiolects, speakers in a dialect have certain features that distinguish
them from other groups of speakers who communicate in their own dialect and
have other characteristics that distinguish the dialect. The Bengkulu language,
for example, has distinct traits from Palembang, Padang, and Lampung. This is
due to the fact that these dialects are related to the Sumatran language.
In my student exchange
program, for example, there is an archipelago module course that covers a
variety of races, nationalities, religions, and cultures, as well as language. On
the vocabulary front, the use of formal or informal language, as well as
dialect, varies greatly from one place to the next.
Age, gender, economic
background, descent, and area of residence are all social characteristics that
influence how people communicate. Language use will be influenced by the
language used by other descendants; for example, a Javanese descendant will use
his Javanese language when conversing with speakers of the same descent. When
discussing intimate matters, they will change specific codes so that others are
unaware. This type of conversation will bring up societal linguistic
differences.
The speaker's attitude will
be affected by changes in the atmosphere that occur during the talk. When this
scenario has surrounding the discourse, speakers' attitudes change as a result
of their use of formal or casual, relaxed, and familiar language. The formal
and casual (relaxed) conversation circumstances in society can be split into
two categories. Both of these circumstances will have an impact on the language
used. As a result, changing circumstances becomes a significant part in the
process of selecting a language, which will also result in linguistic
varieties.
The talk's topic can also
influence the vocabulary used during the dialogue. When the speaker knows the
role of each language, he or she chooses one. This language function can be
linked to the speaker's origin, field of study, speech features, impact on the
listener, and so on. If the choice of language is related to the speaker's
origin, it serves to indicate where the speaker establishes language contact;
for example, an Aceh will choose a language while dealing with other Aceh
speakers.
A language has systems and
subsystems that are equally comprehended by all speakers. The existence of this
diversity or language variance is generated not just by the speakers' lack of
homogeneity, but also by the wide range of social interaction activities they
engage in. Every activity necessitates or creates linguistic variation. The
desire to adopt regional languages in daily communication is heavily influenced
by where you live. The tendency to employ local language terminology in
Indonesian communication is determined by the respondent's associations or the
people with whom he or she hangs out.
