Abstract

The speaker must consider the interlocutor’s position to good communication, especially in English. Here, the speakers that include native and non-native English speakers must choose an appropriate language style for the different interlocutors to avoid social consequences. Analyzing the language style of those speakers in The Ellen Show was the purpose of this research. Also, it focused on the differences and the similarities between those speakers. Last, it focused on the factors influencing the use of language style. The research used the qualitative method that focuses on content analysis. Here, it focused on five native speakers and five non-native speakers of English as the guests in The Ellen Show. The Ellen Show is a talk show program with a casual discussion that talks about a particular topic or issue that consists of a host, the guest star, the home audience, and the studio audience from which the host might get some responses. The findings revealed that those speakers used all types of language styles. Then, the similarities were that both speakers applied frozen style, formal style, consultative style, casual style, and intimate style in their utterances. However, the differences were the total amount of the language style used in the dialogues. Furthermore, those speakers used language style because it influenced the participant, the setting, the topic, and the function. Therefore, it concluded that language styles were worthwhile in English utterances either by native speakers or non-native English speakers.
