TINGKAT TUTUR DALAM BUDAYA ‘JAWA’ DAN ‘BATAK’

This article is about a study of socio-pragmatic in using language by Javanese society, that has some types of the act of speech ‘unggah ungguh’ (ngoko, krama madya and krama inggil) and by Bataks society which doesn’t use the act of speech. The differences of the act of speech beetween the Javanese sosiety and Bataks society are influenced by their traditional ways of living. The Javanese society is devided in two leves (priyayi and wong cilik). In comunication, ‘priyayi’ use ‘ngoko’ to ‘wong cilik’, but ‘wong cilik’ can’t use ‘ngoko’ to ‘priyayi’, they have to use ‘kromo inggil’. The fact proved that the solidarity in Javanese society is poorly. On the other hand, Bataks society has no any levels in their life, so that they haven’t any act of speeh. In spite of that, Bataks society has many ‘marga’ and the people which has the same ‘marga’ are their family (dongan sabutuha). Beside that, they are obliged to help the other people who are not the same ‘marga’ with them because the philosophy of Bataks society is ‘dalihan na tolu’ . This philosophy explaine that solidarity in Bataks society is very important
