Library's collection Library's IT development CancelPeople always use language to communicate with other people. Indonesia
is realized as a multilingual country so that Indonesian has the ability to speak
more than one language. In the society, people often mix two or more languages
when they are communicating with their friends. On the other hand, Holmes
suggests that men and women speak differently. Men tend to use informal
language than women do. Actually, both of them are different in choosing their
code choices so there is no possibility to speak in the same way. Therefore, the
writer wants to find the difference of codes used by male and female opinion
givers. In this study, the writer takes the data from "What?s Up" section in
Rajawali magazine. Based on her data, she wants to find out the codes and
absorbed code used by male and female opinion givers in "What?s Up" section of
Rajawali magazine. In using code mixing, male tends to use Indonesian-Jakartanese-
Dutch and Indonesian-Jakartanese-Javanese-English-Dutch while
female tends to use Indonesian-Jakartanese and Indonesian-English. Both male
and female use Indonesian-Javanese, Indonesian-Jakartanese-Javanese, and
Indonesian-Jakartanese-Javanese-English. Based on the analysis, male and female
opinion givers have similarity in choosing their absorbed codes, such as cowok,
cewek, dominasi, emansipasi and et cetera. There are some absorbed codes used
by male writers, such as karir, pasif, hyperdominan, and many others. The
example of absorbed codes used by female writers are publik, standard, beken and
so on.
