Summary
In society there are a lot of language variation occur that makes a different style for each society. People have different way to express their feeling or thought according to the context and situation. Holmes (2013:239) stated that language varies according to its uses as well as its users, according to where it is used and to whom, as well as according to who is using it. The addressees and the context affect our choice of code or variety, whether language, dialect or style. Variation of language can be shown by the fact that speakers can adopt different style of speaking or called language style. According to Waldaugh (2006: 53) you can speak very formally or very informally; your choice being governed by circumstances. Ceremonial occasions almost invariably require very formal speech, public lectures somewhat less formal, casual conversation quite informal, and conversations between intimates on matters of little importance may be extremely informal and casual
