siwi's social network

 



I'm Vitaloka Siwi Utami, a 5th semester student of Bengkulu University. I live in North Bengkulu, in this area people use the Javanese language a lot and my parents are from Java too. I use various languages ​​in interacting, formal language, Javanese language, and Bengkulu language. But I mostly use the Bengkulu language because I live in a homogeneous environment. The picture above is my social network, an illustration of my social network. There are 5 people that I describe in my social network chart.

1st person is Amanda, she is my friend from high school. We both live in North Bengkulu, only in different areas. However, we go to school in Bengkulu Tengah. Amanda and I went to boarding school so we could use Arabic conversation, when we wanted to talk about important things that were confidential in public we used Arabic. Besides Arabic, we also use the Bengkulu language for daily communication.

Then the second person is azizah, she is my childhood friend. When i talk with her i using formal and bengkulu language, i’ve been 15 years be her friend. I talk with her same as how i talk with my same age, and it’s natural, high tone seldomly. Next is my father, he is a rubber factory employee at PT Pamorganda. I spoke to him in a bit of Javanese, but more formally. I use a soft intonation when talking to her. Then the next person is my mother. I talk to mom the same as talking to dad, with soft intonation and using formal language. And the last person is my sister, we use formal language and Bengkulu, but more often to Bengkulu. I sometimes use a high and soft intonation. That's my social network relationship.
