been known and is confirmed by some scientists. It is obvious
that language of the scholars which are known as 'scientific
discourse' is closely related to the academic practices.
To cross-check the truism over such a belief, the writer
conducts a research on the differences of criticizing styles
between two students from the Faculty of Letters and four
students from the Faculty of Engineering of Petra Christian
University. The consideration of the choice of both discipline
is both discipline (Letters versus Engineering) show
different academic orthodoxy.
This research is mainly a qualitative research based on
Sociolinguistic approach. Besides, quantitative approach,
particularly by measuring statistical mean that is expressed
in the form of frequency mode, is also used to reflect the
central tendency of data range.
From the findings of this research, not much is known
as a conclusion to deduce the real facts from the speech
differences in the criticism styles. One of the tendencies
is probably caused by the respondents' educational background.
Education is proved to influence one's way of thinking
that tend to influence his language styles.
Besides education, in fact, there are several other
factors that can influence one's criticism styles, they
are: gender and environments. Both things are also importantly
paid attention to determine one' speech styles, which
are not discussed in this research.
