CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter explains about background of the study, statement of the
problems, purposes of the study, significance of the study, scope and limitation, and
definition of key term.
1.1.
Background of the Study
Language is the most important aspect in the life of all beings because it
enables us to communicate. It helps to connect people in different ways. According to
Fromkin, Rodman, and Hyam (2003: 3) language is the source of human life and
power to live in a world because we always use language when we do interaction
with whomever. It means that language can express ideas, feeling, and emotion of
human beings to get some responses from others.People cannot live without
interaction and communication with other people. People use a language to
communicate with their society. It is proved by Wardhaugh (2006: 1) that a language
is what the members of a particular society speak. However, speech in almost any
society can take many very different forms.
However, we cannot separate between language and society itself because
language is what the member of particular society use for communication. A study
that
learned
about
relation
between
language
and
society
is
called
sociolinguistics.The development of language is influenced by the society itself, so
they create many kinds of language variation. One of them is a “Register”. Registers
1
2
are sets of language items associated with discrete occupational or social groups.
(Wardhaugh, 2006: 52).
There are some studies related with he existence of register. In 2005, Sari had
conducted the study about register used by employees of the shoe company of
Artisan Jaya InternusaMakmur Malang. The result of her research showed that there
are two kinds of English registers: formal register and informal register. There were
142 formal registers and 4 informal registers. Her study found that there were two
reasons why the employees of the Shoe Company of Artisan Jaya Internusa Makmur
Malang used registers. First, the English registers made the communication run easier
and simpler. Second, the employees were accustomed to using English registers as
their medium of communication in the shoe company. Then in 2011, Arfian Putri
Anggraini also studied the register used by FOCUS in University of Muhammadiyah
Malang. In her study Arfian found that there are two reasons that make the
community of FOCUS organization use register. First, it has simple terms in
photography. Second, it can make the communication easier.
Certain group of people uses register in their daily life because it is related to
a sector and profession groups. There are many professions used registers in their
activities, such as airline pilots, bank managers, computer programmers, drivers of
public transportation, photographers, musician, fishermen,etc. All of people who have
different occupation also have specific language or terms in their own community.
For example, photographers have a specific term that differs from specific term used
by pilots. If register is used in public area, which has many kinds of community, it
will cause misunderstanding except certain term that have been known by the public.
3
Generally, people have the specific reasons that make them used the registers. The
register used by each group of people come from many various professions is make
their communication become practical, efficient, and understandable. It can be easy to
be understood by their own community because they have the same knowledge,
experience, and importance. CIBBM uses register to shorten their interlocution and
give information more easily with others.
One of the groups of people used register is CIBBM (Civitas Basketball of
Muhammadiyah). CIBBM (Civitas Basketball of Muhammadiyah) is chosen as
research subject because CIBBM like many other professions frequently uses
registers in their communication especially in activities that are related with the
sports. This community is very popular among University of Muhammadiyah Malang
students. So, many of them are enthusiastic to join it. Moreover, in addition to
exercises, CIBBM often conducts competitions either in campus or other places.
Certainly, it makes them use register more regularly than used others groups.
Basically, the languages used by “CIBBM” members are Javanese and Indonesia
language or sometimes the combination between those languages. However, the
registers usually used by CIBBM are in English. However, not many people know
about the registers in CIBBM. The registers that are used by CIBBM will cause
misunderstanding to other people who do not belong to CIBBM. According to those
phenomena, it is considered that CIBBM is worth to be analyzed. Thus, this research
will give contribution to sociolinguistics science.
