1. I do not agree ... Indeed, in sociolinguistics, language and gender have a very close
relationship. There is an expression "why do women talk differently from men?" In other
words, we are focused on several factors that cause women to prefer using standard language
compared to men. In this connection, language should be observed as part of social, deeds
that contain values , which reflects the complexity of social, political, cultural, and age and
community relations,
Gender can mean as roles and responsibilities that are socially conceived of women and men
in a particular culture or location supported by the structures of society. Gender can change
from time to time, from one community to another, class to class even from culture to culture.
So,, the problem faced is sexist language which is only a reflection of the culture of the
people it uses. Thus, the problem does not lie in the neutral form but the structure of society
which is related to the concept of men who are considered strong, decisive, and mighty, while
women are considered weak. As long as the socio-cultural values in society do not change,
we make changes in the use of language in society. Can't Women and men have different
characteristics and abilities.
2. in my environment there is one of my friends who has a code mixing situation. her parents
are married to another tribe. his father is a Batak tribe. and his mother is a Javanese tribe.
but because in this environment the name is deli land so they use Malay everyday. even his
children (my friends) are not fluent in running the Batak or Javanese language which is the
original tribe of his parents. but they still understand if someone uses that language it's just
that they can't pronounce it
3. Example from language shif :
For centuries people have speculated about the causes of language change. The problem is
not one of thinking up the possible causes, but of deciding which to take seriously ...
"Even when we have eliminated the 'lunatic fringe' theories, we are left with an
enormous number of possible causes to take into consideration. Part of the problem is that
there are several different causative factors at work, not only in language as a whole but also
in any one change ...
"We can begin by dividing the proposed causes of change into two broad categories. On
the one hand, there are external sociolinguistic factors - that is, social factors outside the
language system. On the other hand, there are internal psycholinguistic ones - that is,
linguistic and psychological factors which reside in the structure of the language and the
minds of the speakers. "
4. In English words:
• "Dirty" words that are concerned with sex and excretion, such as "bugger" and "shit"
• Word that has to do with the Christian religion, suc as "Christ" and "Jesus"
In language
• The word "tai". Tai is man's and animal's poop, but this tai intends that he denigrates or
mock him as poop.
• The word "prostitute". Prostitutes are shown to women who sell themselves with others. But
this prostitute is often used when there are women who are not good, say so.

5. According to me language cannot be separated from cultural diversity. In terms of


culture, language is a cultural aspect, language wealth is something that is beneficial. The
various languages will reflect the cultural wealth that exists in the user community
(multicultural). The relationship between language and culture is coordinative or
subbordinative, both of which have a very close relationship and influence each other. A
coordinative relationship, which is an equal relationship, of equal position. Subbordinative
relationships mean that a language falls under the sphere of culture.
In addition, there is another opinion which states that language and culture are two
systems inherent in humans. Culture is a system that regulates human interaction in society,
so that language is a system that functions as a suggestion. The language system has a
function as a means of ongoing human interaction in society, meaning that language behavior
must be accompanied by norms that apply in that culture. The language behavior system
according to cultural norms is referred to as language ethics or language procedures.
Language ethics is closely related to the selection of language codes, social norms, and
cultural systems that apply in one society.
