Analysis of Question Number 7
For this seventh question of the questionnaire, 27 respondents answer Friends and 3
respondents answer Strangers. The percentage of the answers is as follows: 90% respondents answer
A and 10% respondents answer D. This question actually is already answered in the sixth question.
The majority of the respondents indicate that their friends are their interlocuters when they use English
slang. It is not surprising if almost all the respondents answer friends as the people that they frequently
communicate with using English slang. As English slang is usually used in informal communication, it
is understandable that teacher and family are not becoming their interlocuters when they communicate
using English slang. The other reason is that teacher and family are the people that are older than them
so they have to communicate more formally with them. Teachers may know what English slang is but
it seems that it is not formal to use English slang words when students communicate with their
teachers. Finally, family is the people that they frequently communicate with but not using English
slang because most of them use Bahasa Indonesia and vernacular language when talking with their
mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers. The remaining respondents who answered strangers as people
that they frequently communicate with using English slang also have reasons why they use it with
strangers. According to the answer of question number four about the reason of using English slang, it
shows that they use it because they can cut down the time when talking, texting or tweeting with
strangers.
