ACCOMODATION COMMUNICATION BY CHANGING SOCIAL IDENTITY (CASE STUDY OF MIGRANTS FROM SOLO IN JAKARTA IN INTERACTING BY CHANGING DIALECT)

Abstract

Jakarta, as a metropolitan city and economic center, attracts residents from outside the area to urbanize. Solo people in Jakarta do the same thing: find work, continue their education, etc. The existing differences in social identity include dialects that have the potential to cause conflicts, such as domination and group segmentation so that other cultures feel alienated. To minimize conflict, migrants feel the need to adapt. This study uses a qualitative approach through the case study method. The research data were sourced from interviews, observations, documentation, and literature studies. The theory used is intercultural communication, barriers to intercultural communication, communication accommodation, social identity, and dialect. The results showed that the adjustment process for Solo immigrants depended on the adaptability of each individual. Adjustments were made by associating with people with a Jakarta dialect. The purpose of adjusting the Solo migrants is so that both parties can understand communication, the presence of migrants is accepted to achieve their goals in Jakarta. Constraints experienced by informants during the interaction process are dialect differences, it is difficult to change the habits of the Solo dialect so some informants experience anxiety about negative prejudices from the environment.
