ABSTRACT
This research aims to analyze the use of speech style and the factors that
influence the use of speech style in the Jimmy Kimmel Live Talk Show in all
episodes that were aired in November 2021. Speech style is the choice of words
based on the level of formality used by a person in communicating, which is
influenced by several factors. In this research, the researcher applies Joos' (1976)
theory of speech style and Holmes' (2013) theory of factors that influence the
choice of speech style. This research is classified as qualitative descriptive
research. All of the data in this research were taken from the conversation
subtitles between the host and the guest/s, which contained various types of
speech styles and were transcribed into the text form. Then, the collected data
were classified based on the types of speech styles. After that, the factors that
influenced the host and the guest/s to use the speech style were analysed.
Based on the results of the research, there are four of the five types of
speech styles in this research. Frozen speech style was not found in this research.
The four speech styles found in this research were formal (6%), consultative
(12%), casual (81%), and intimate (1%), the dominant type of speech style is
casual speech style and the least one is intimate speech style.

constantly interact with each other and do daily activities in society by using a

programs are the main discussion in this research. Frisby (1997) defined talk
shows as a well-liked vehicle for making viewers feel better about themselves, get
self-improvement, and feel better about their lives, which could be one of the
main reasons individuals watch "trashy" TV Talk Show shows. It means that the

Show will invite various guests, and from the entire different guests, we can see
sound, gestures, and signs that have patterns and meanings. Spoken language
in written language are poetry, newspapers, comics, articles, novels, letters, and
books. The main difference between spoken and written language is that the
language used in a spoken language tends to be shorter than the language used in
a written one. The written language uses longer and more complex sentences.

Coupland (2007), style refers to ways of speaking and how speakers use the
language style based on the degree of formality, and several factors influence the
consultative, casual, and intimate. It means that everyone uses different levels of
choice, and grammar caused by the influence of numerous external factors such as
geographic areas and social groups are referred to as language style. It means that
Every conversation carried out has a type of speech style depending on the
context of the conversation. The differences play an important role when someone
talks to a certain person regarding the topics discussed. For example, a ceremony

studio. The use of various language styles in Talk Show also varies. The
formality of language depends on the context, who the guest is, and what the

The researcher analyzed the speech style used by Jimmy Kimmel in his
Talk Show in all episodes that were aired in November 2021, the show also
known as Jimmy Kimmel Live. The research is limited by focusing on the process
of interaction between the host and his guest/s and analyzed by using Joss's (1976)
theory which discusses the five language styles, encompassing: frozen style,
formal style, consultative style, casual style, and intimate style. And the researcher
identifies the factor that influences the speech style used by them by using the
knowledge to readers about the types of speech styles used in Jimmy Kimmel
Live Talk Show, and they understand what factors that influence why everyone
uses different speech styles in their conversation and this research will help shows
the example to students who are interested in studying about speech style.
Theoretically, this research is helpful to give more references for other researchers
who are going to do similar research about the speech style used in Talk Show.
Practically, this research will be useful not only to students of the English
Language but also to all readers of this study, especially to people who are
concerned with the speech style used by the host and the guest/s in the

purposes and topics, even though they communicate in the same language. Speech
style is a social feature of language use, and the most basic situation in speech
style is between formal and informal uses. Everyone must use the right speech
style because it can lead to misunderstanding if we use the wrong style. The
speech style is essential in daily conversation. Each person has a different kind of
style when they speak. According to Ducrot and Todorov (1993:44), speech style
is the choice among the other alternatives in using language. It means that a

often consider the style the most important one, leading them to various
interpretations. This research focused on analyzing the speech style used in Jimmy

discusses five styles of language such as frozen style, formal style, consultative
style, casual style, and intimate style. The explanations of those styles are as
follows:
The frozen style is usually used in situations celebrated with respect and
legal or formal ceremonies. This frozen style is defined as the most formal style
occasion. The words delivered are cautious; this style is meant to be remembered
and utilized in a very formal setting, such as a palace or a church rite. It means
that the characteristics of the frozen style are the use maintained and unchanged.
The people attending the event who use the frozen style are often
important figures. Hence, the opportunity seems to prioritize and respect listeners
and speakers because only certain people specifically use the frozen style. The
sentences are intricately related. Certain fixed expressions are required, for
example: "Yes, Your Honor," "Yes, my Lord," and so on. It must be carefully
planned and to do well requires high skills that is why this spoken style is
called frozen style. It is also called oratorical style, characterized by being very

Joss (1976) stated that formal style is generally used in a formal situation,
where there is the least amount of shared background and knowledge, and
communication is one way with little or no feedback from the audience. It means
that the vocabulary used in a formal style is also extensive, using standard speech,
low tempo speech, and avoidance of repetition. Formal style is a style that is
formal speech, and sermons. This language style is generally used in state
The patterns and rules of the official language have been established in a
conversation with a lecturer at the office. When someone faces certain structural
sentences in this variety are more complete and complex, with appropriate
characteristic of this language style is the speaker will call the addresser with
formal titles, such as, "How are you, Mr. John?" Another example is "The

According to Joos (1976), consultative speech style shows our norm when
talking with strangers who speak our language but whose personal stock of
production.
In other words, this style is at the level of the most operational, results-
oriented, or production-oriented talks. So, it can be said that this style is the most
operational variety because this language style is at the level between the formal
type and the casual style. This language style usually occurs in conversations
between doctors and patients, teachers and students. This consultative style
13
requires listener feedback. Chaer (2004) explains that the consultative style is
the most operational style among other language styles. The other person
usually participates by giving feedback to the conversation with simple words and
short answers such as "uh", "wow", "I understand", "fine", "I know”, “stop it" and
“oh, I see".
The casual style used in speaking with the interlocutor is also very relaxed
because of the familiarity between the speaker and the hearer. According to Joos
(1976:155), the Casual style is a language style that can be used in conversation in
atmosphere. It means the casual style is a language used for the conversation in
the cafeteria or classroom, coworkers, or friends outside the school. Joos (1976:
153) defined casual style as the style used between friends and acquaintances in
informal situations outside the school or between two students chatting. It can also

listeners and speakers outside of intimate situations. This language style can be
because the participants already understand each other. This style is characterized
by what Joos calls "extraction" (Broderic, 1976). In this style, intonation is more
meaning that only a small group of people usually have in pairs in a family
situation. The reason for using the intimate style is to express feelings between
speakers and reveal intimate phenomena. The most informal atmosphere can be
comfortable communication.
How the way someone uses the speech style is influenced by several
factors. According to Holmes (2013, p. 9), four factors influence the speech style:
2.4.1 Setting
should be a background situation, where and when the conversation took place.
Setting can be in the form of place or time of discussion. Setting the place where
participants speak. According to Hymes (1974), the location can include two
physical situations, such as time and place, while the context situation includes
social settings and cultural aspects. For Example: When a student is with his
friends who speak English in the neighborhood, he uses words like "cool,
consciously makes an effort to use words that sound appropriate to his teachers,

conversation, at least two or more people participate. They are called speaker and
listener. The participants’ relationship will also influence the use of language
style. For example, the use of language by teachers and students will be different
from the use of mother and child language, also a girl with her boyfriend.
influence the use of specific language styles. This means that age can affect the
difference in language style. Another example is a boy who joins college, he gets
prefers "Hi, good morning" This is not just because he is in college, this is also
17
differences in the use of language styles. For example, when a teacher talks to
students, they will use informality because the status of students is lower than
hers. Meanwhile, a teacher will speak formally to fellow teachers because they
have the same status. And when a boy has to write a message, if he writes a text
message to his friend, he knows he can use abbreviations like "lol”. Conversely, if
he writes an email to his teacher, he knows that "lol" is not right for the context of
their relationship.
2.4.3 Topic
The topic discussed also affects differences in the use of language styles in
the conversation. It has been proven that the topic can influence the speaker to
change their language style in most cases. The topic will vary automatically
depending on the topic of the conversation itself. For example, both coworkers
will use formal language when talking about their work or business, while they
will use informal language when talking about their hobbies or football matches.

Function refers to why they talk and their purpose in talking about it.

(2013, p. 275) states that there are many ways of categorizing the function of

by Jimmy Kimmel and his guest/s on the Jimmy Kimmel Live talk show. The

informal television show or comedic show because most of Jimmy’s guest/s are
celebrities. The show also contains a comedy bit and live music. There are four of
38
five types of speech styles found in the object of this research. There is a formal
speech style with (11) types, consultative speech style with (23) types, casual
speech style with (159) types, and intimate speech style with (2) types. Casual is
the most frequent speech style found in the data, consultative is the less frequent
speech style found in the data, and the researcher did not find the use of
frozen speech style in the data. The most factor that influences the use of speech
style is the topic, the second factor is the setting, the third factor is the participant
relationship, and the less factor that influences the use of speech style is the
function of the word. The topic factor was found to be the most influential
factor in the occurrence of the use of speech style because whomever the
participant is if they talk about an informal topic they will use an informal or
casual speech style. Hence, the topic is the most important factor that influences
finding. This research is different from several previous research, The previous
research only discussed the types of speech styles. This research discussed not
only the types of speech styles but also the factors that influence the use of a

everyone uses different speech styles in their conversation, and the researcher
hopes this research will be useful to show the example for students who are
39
interested in studying about speech style. The research is useful to give more
knowledge about how to use speech style inappropriate daily conversation. It will
be useful not only to students of the English Language but also to all readers
ofthis research, especially to people who are concerned with the speech style used

CHAPTER V
5.1 Conclusion
The data of this research are 195 speech style forms of words, phrases,
and sentences taken from the Jimmy Kimmel Show in all episodes that were
There are four of five types of speech styles found in this research based
on Joos' theory of speech style from the data collected from all episodes of Jimmy
November 2021. The four speech styles found are formal style, consultative style,
casual style, and intimate style. The most likely data found in this research is a
casual style with 159 or 81%, then the consultative style with 23 or 12%, followed
by the formal style with 11 or 6%, lastly the least is the intimate style with 2 or
1%, and the frozen style is not found in the data of this research.
Moreover, in the second research problem, four factors influence the use
of speech style found in this research. The factor that influences the use of
speech style is the topic, the second factor is the setting, the third factor is the
participant relationship, and the last factor that influences the use of speech style
is the function of the word. The topic factor was found to be the most influential
factor in this research because whoever is the participant if they talk about an
informal topic will use an informal or casual style. Hence, the topic is the factor
that influences the use of speech style. And from all the results, it can be
40
41
concluded that the Jimmy Kimmel Live Talk Show, which was aired in
Jimmy's guest/s are celebrities, most of the topic which they talk about is the
informal topic, and the show also contains comedy bits and live music.
