Hello guys! What's up? How's life? I hope that all of you are still in great condition so that all of you activities are able be accomplished by you.
In this opportunity, I will be back to my last habit to give you a beneficial information. At this time, I will try to analyze one of videos in Youtube which entitled :
"PANEN BLUBERRY SEPUASNYA BARENG MERTUA DI LADANG ORANG"
https://youtu.be/R5PVRe0uCUI.
This analysis is purely conducted to fulfill the final assignment of Sociolinguistics course.
A. The Introduction Analysis of Video
Before I told you exactly what are sociolinguistics material which including in this video. First of all, I want to explain you the background or introduction of this video. This video is made by Indonesia and German person. They have married and now they have a son. Initially, I do not realized that this video is made by foreigner as I just see this video for a while and did not watch this video for long time. My reason for choosing this video because the video which made by them is really interested to be analyzed. I have a task related about sociolinguistics course and I see that this video involves a lot of sociolinguistics material explanation which I have learned before. So that is why I intend and exciting to analyze this video.
This video is made in Netherland by Agus (Indonesian) and Viola (German person) which aimed to visit blueberry fields. The reason of them to visit blueberry fields as they want to pick or buy blueberry and the unique thing of this activity, they can pick blueberry in the field by themselves. It is very interested holiday for me because as you know that in Indonesia, we can see that blueberry fruit is indicated as rare fruit.
In additional, this video also has a lot of beneficial learning for me which made by them. From this video, I learn many things related to sociolinguistics material. It is about code-switching and code mixing. Through this video, between Agus and Viola often use code switching and code mixing simultaneously. It is very interested to be analyzed because the content of this video is really related to my final assignment. Therefore, at this time I try to analyze what are sociolinguistic materials which applied by them in this video
B. The Discussion
1. Dialect
In this video, I watch this video from the beginning until the ending. I see that between Agus and Viola is applied different dialect especially spoken in English. Based on the video, Viola tends to use German-English meanwhile Agus tends to use Indonesian-English. Therefore, through this video I see that there many kind of dialects in English which applied in this video.
2. Accent
The accent which mostly applied in this video is British English. It is happened because as we know that Viola is from German and the pronunciation which often spoken by her refers to British English accent.
3. Language Shift
In this video between Viola and Agus of course apply language shift frequently. They use it as be affected by social factor and economic factor. In this video, Agus shift his language because triggered by social factor where he moves to German and forces him to use English. In additional, in this video language shift also influenced by economic factor where between Viola and Agus speaks English aimed to get a better job for example making the this video, upload the video in youtube then use two languages English and Indonesia which will influence the audience to watch their video. The using of two languages for foreigner is something unique for all people so that they will get much money from youtube.
4. Diglossia
Diglossia refers to the language situation in which two varieties of the same language is used in different situations. Through this video, I consider that between Viola and Agus tend to use Regional Diaclect/ Vernacular/ Low variety where most of conversation in this video are using informal conversation and daily use.
5. Code Mixing
In this video, I have to say that they are often use it in every phase of this video. Therefore, I will try to identify several words, sentence, phrase of this video where those are indicated as code mixing.
- " How much per kilo? 4 Euro buat 1 KILO."
- " Mamah ku juga punya blueberry tree."
- " Ini blueberry tree."
- " So, ini buat to avoid bird."
- " Agus pakai sepatu, dia melakukan nya karena di tidak listen to me. I said, saya bilang bring shoes and jacket. So, ini jacket."
- " Nanti kita ke sanah dapat keranjang ya (Basket) to put everthing inside."
- " Beib kenapa kita ngga tanam ini dirumah aja, ya.. ya.. tidak di rumah tapi outside."
- " 3 kilo ini dengan mamah ku together bersama."
6. Code Switching.
In this video, there are a lot of code-switching utterances which often applied by Agus and Viola. However, probably I just give an example which applied by Viola when she wants to pay blueberry to the cashier. Because they are in Nethderland, of course when she wants to pay the blueberry that has been picked by her, so she will use Dutch or English language in order that the cashier will understand what she means.
For example: Viola : " How much is it?"
Cashier : " fiftheen Euro."
For example: Viola : " How much is it?"
Cashier : " fiftheen Euro."
Conclusion
In conclusion, related to this video actually there are a lot of sociolinguistics material which important to be learned by us. The using of these materials sometimes applied accidentally because they often use it in daily activity. Therefore, there are lot of knowledge which be able obtained by us through this video such as : dialect, diglossia, code-switching, code-mixing until language shift. Those are one of the materials which have been learned by me and of course it is very essential and useful to enlarge my knowledge especially toward sociolinguistics.
