BAB I A. Introduction Nowadays English has become the international language.

Everybody is enabled to communicate to all over the world by using English. This phenomena makes English become the important language to be mastered. This phenomenon is also interested to be discussed on how people are to communicate with each others with the difference of culture and background. Language is a way to communicate ideas comprehensibly from one person to another in such a way that the other will be able to act exactly accordingly (by SignGenius.com). Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone (Emerson via Fromkin, Blair and Collins, 2008:396). Language enables us to communicate each other. Language also can enable us to deliver the information. Every day people use language to give and to accept the information from each other. Every people use language in conveying their social meaning. The problems above are explained in Sociolinguistics. Sociolinguistics will be concerned with investigating the relationships between language and society with the goal of better understanding of the structure of language and of how languages function in communication (Wardhaugh, 1988:12). And also the varieties of language are discussed in Sociolinguistics. Conveying of a social meaning is also involving the different culture of speakers. The different cultures of speakers also bring their own dialect in it. The dialect of a single language may thus be defined as mutually intelligible forms of a language that differ in systematic ways from each other (Fromkin, Blair andCollins, 2008:399). Belitongnese will not have the same dialect as Jogjanese. But it is not easy to decide whether the systematic differences between two speech communities reflect two dialects or two different languages or not. Hudson (1980, p. 24 via Wardhaugh,1988:22) defines a variety of a language as a set of linguistic items with similar distribution, a definition that allows one to say that all of the following are varieties; English, French, London English, the English football commentaries, and so on. This Phenomenon also happens in UAD especially in DeCo. DeCo is the abbreviation of Debating Community. Deco is a debating group in order to accommodate the willingness of the UAD students who are interested in debating and developing their skill in

speaking English. The varieties of language are clearly seen. Because Deco also accommodates students who are coming from different region in Indonesia. This difference makes the speech of DeCos member become more variety in dialect aspect. A language is a dialect with an army an navy (Weinreich via Fromklin, Blair, and Collins,2008 : 396). From Max statement it is clear enough that, every member in DeCo may have the difference in dialect, but they still have the same purpose in delivering their speech or society meaning in a forum, in this case DeCo forum of English. The difference of dialect also will create the unique of a speech. The unique itself is owned by every people. The unique itself will also create the difference in pronunciation. The Unique characteristics of the language of an individual speaker are referred to as the speakers idiolect (Fromkin, Blair andCollins, 2008:396). English may then be said to consist of 400.000.000 idiolects, or the number equal to the number of speakers of English (which seems to be growing every day). Beyond these individual differences, the language of one group of people may have regular variations from that used by other groups speakers of that language. The nature of human while speaking is finding the variation of language in delivering the speech. Realize or not variation of language also will create the tendency of people to use any certain words. The certain words are also used as the bridge in explaining their purposes as their proposal. The words can be: Ladies and gentleman, we believe, we think, actually, so that, and many others. Sometimes it is disturbing the other people in hearing the English speech. Because the body of the speech also cannot be heard well because the words are always used while they are delivering their speech to the adjudicators, lecturers, or audiences in certain occasions. The writer always considers that, those words as the bridge of statement. It is meant the words sometimes used to connect from one statement to the other statement or we can say as the statement connector. Actually for discussing this topic have another interest for the English teacher. That interest is that, while we are teaching speaking to the students and the students appear the dominant words in speaking, it doesnt matter, it is the one way to kill the nervous and to fulfill the defined time. Perhaps, it is disturbing for our hearing to listen the content of the speech, but it is fine for the fluency of the students, because speaking needs to be fluent. So this topic also will enrich the English teacher knowledge in idiolect of every student.

B. Discussion The Unique characteristics of the language of an individual speaker are referred to as the speakers idiolect (Fromkin, Blair andCollins, 2008:396). English may then be said to consist of 400.000.000 idiolects, or the number equal to the number of speakers of English (which seems to be growing every day). Beyond these individual differences, the language of one group of people may have regular variations from that used by other group speakers of that language. The nature of human while speaking is finding the variation of language in delivering the speech. Realize or not variations of language also will create the tendency of using certain words. Idiolect is one of the language phenomena in the society. The Unique characteristics of the language of an individual speaker are referred to as the speakers idiolect (Fromkin, Blair andCollins, 2008:396). The researcher also justifies the definition of the language experts. Language as the form of conveying the social meaning also believe with this unique of individual. In conveying the information or the social meaning, sometimes speakers appear the unique of speech also. The unique is the dominant words that are always appeared by the speaker. But then some people think that it is very disturbing, but actually it is still justifiable to be appeared by the speaker. Because the researcher believe that in speaking is needed to be fluent by ignoring all of the aspect structurally, in order to motivate the students and the people who learn speaking for debating exactly. The researcher also believes with the dominant words that is appeared by the speakers are really disturbing, but in learning speaking, the learners need the fluency first to increase the motivation in learning speaking. So that the dominant words (idiolect) is still justifiable. Idiolect is the part of sociolinguistics. Idiolect is discussed in Dialect. Sociolinguistics will be concerned with investigating the relationships between language and society with the goal of a better understanding of the structure of language and of how languages function in communication (Wardhaugh,1988:12). The view we shall take is that both sociolinguistics and the sociology of language require a systematic of language and society if they are to be successful (Wardhaugh, 1988:13). This is the phenomenon in the society where this is the uniqueness of the society. Every single person has their own idiolect. So we cannot determine whether someone has the same uniqueness with the others or not. DeCo also has debaters coming from different social background. And every debater in DeCo also has their own

unique idiolect. Such as, Ladies and gentleman, what is it?, Meaning to say, any such kinds, actually, etc.

Conclusion

People always have their own idiolect no matter what language they use.
