Library's collection Library's IT development CancelThis study is a sociolinguistic study about request made by male and
female employer to the male and female employees and also male and female
employees to male and female employers. The writer is interested in investigating
request since request can be used differently by both employers and employees.
She also wants to know the types of request used by the male and female
employer to the male and female employees and male and female employees to
male and female employers. The writer used Ervin-Tripp?s theory of request as
the main theory to classify the types of request. To find the most frequently used
types of request used by both male and female employers and both male and
female employees, the writer used descriptive quantitative approach. The writer
found that both male and female employers mostly used the same types of request
expressions to both male and female employees. However, the writer found
various types of request used by both male and female employees to both male
and female employers. The result of this research showed that both male and
female employers mostly used bald imperatives as their types of request, both to
their male and female employees. However, both male and female employees
used various types of request, both to male and female employer. Thus, the result
might prove that the social status and gender may have influenced the types of
request made by both male and female employers and both male and female
employees.
