The Role of Gender in Language Use Perception: A Sociolinguistic Analysis of Language Variety
Keywords:
Gender Role, Language Use, Language Variations, SociolinguisticsAbstract
This research discusses the phenomenon of differences in the use of language variants by gender in the student environment. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative by collecting data and analyzing it to get answers to the problem formulation. This research uses data collection such as interviews, voice recording, observation and taking additional documentation. To collect data, the researcher used a sample of 20 students from IAIN and some close friends of the researcher who are in the range of 20-24 years old. The researcher also used literature review to compare the results of the study and used sociolinguistic analysis to answer the problem formulation. Sociolinguistics plays an important role in explaining the differences in the use of language variations by different genders. Researchers found that there are several factors that cause differences in language variations used such as environment, age, and familiarity. In sociolinguistics this can occur because the environment of the speakers themselves causes differences in language use as well as the views of the community towards each gender.
