1. The
existence of any distinguishable of any styles and registers are really continuously happened especially in certain vernacular language. Share your
agreement or your disagreement and explore any reasons relate to this notion based
on your own vernacular language (e.g. Javanese, Sundanese Malay, or other
vernacular languages).
Answer:
According
to my opinion, I do agree that there are many distinguisabilities of any styles
and registers in any vernacular languages. Furthermore, there are many reasons
relate to this notion such as follows:
a. Speaker
and addressee as the domain of language and conversation causes any complex
distinguishabilities of chosen styles and registers; code, variety, dialect,
etc.
b. The
norm as attention or care in cultural point of view relates to the language
also influence in choosing possibility style whether it is formal or non formal (audience design). (Bernard Spolsky 1998: 33).
c. Other
domain like setting and context also gave influence in distinguishabilities in
styles and registers of languages.
d. Other
reasons dealing with community especially people’s interaction like social
strata, social status, wealth, the rate of education, honorific, age, gender,
etc.
As the example in
Javanese language, the classification of strata of language is definitely
complex because there is a real classification on Javanese people in term
(speech level /Unda usuk/ unggah ungguhing basa) is divided into some classes;
ngoko lugu, ngoko andhap, krama lugu, krama alus, krama inggil. This stratification
is caused by any reasons like social strata in community. The utterance
speaking by teacher must be different with the students. The utterance speaking
by servant must be different with the boss. Other community terms also give
influence like age in Javenese. The older people have to use higher strata of
speech level than the younger ones. For term gender in Javanese also inflence
in choosing style, language reflect and record like woman usually more
sensitive, more polite, and more “speech less” than man.
2. Give
your opinion about this statement “ The styles and registers of certain
language would be lost when the language are consistenly shifted and lost”.
Attach the example if you have the example of the real phenomena.
Answer:
According
to my opinion, when the language is consistenly and continously shifted and
lost, automatically the style and register of the language would be lost
because whether style and register are belong to elements of language like
syntax, morphology, dialect, phonology, vocabulary and semantic. These elements
are supporting on shifting styles and registers. For supporting the notion as
balance with the examples:
The
english is shifted from English shakespeare until english modern (Abdul Chaer
and Leonie Agustina 2010:135):
-
Know ye this man?
(Do you know this man?)
-
Why sings he so loud?
(Why does he sing so
loud?)
-
Whan that Aprille with
his shoures soate
(When April with its
sweet showers)
-
The drought of March
hath parced to teh roo
(The drought of March
has pierced to the root)
