The Background of the Study Sociolinguistics is concerned with investigating the relationship between language and society with the goal being a better understanding of the structure of language and how function is communication (Wardaugh 2006:13). According to Holmes (2013:1) sociolinguistics is the study of relationship between language and society. They are interested in explaining why we speak differently in different social context, and they are concerned with identifying the social function of language meaning. It can be concluded that sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society which can help people to understand how language is used in society and get better understanding in communication. Based on the researcher’s experience in studying Sociolinguistics at fifth semester academic Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatera, there were some element of language style. One of them is levels of formality. In studying levels of formality made the students found it difficult to determine and confuse to use the types of levels of formality it self because in levels of formality we examined how we speak in certain situation or field that need good manner or rule. For example speaking with parents and teacher would require less formal speech than at a company networking event, but more formal than a peer group. Another example is in interviewing president, the interviewer should ask the 1 2 president using formal language and it will different when an interviewer interview an actor or actress because they have different position. Language style according to Joos in Brown (2000:260-261) is classified into five types based on the levels of formality. Levels of Formality is the level of intimacy people assume with another which are divided into five levels, they are frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate (Weinstein, 1984). Not only culture or way of speaking of them but also their capability in handling all the questions during interview influence levels of formality because their awareness to the formats of interview will avoid misinterpretation. Thus, it is important to pay attention on certain aspect styles of language or levels of formality to achieve successful and fluent communication. President is one of important people in a country so when interviewing the president, interviewer should have good preparation in asking the questions by using formal style of language to respect him. It is same with a president, when he is interviewing about everything related to his country, he should answer the questions seriously but it could be serious when he asked about family. The difference of culture, way of speaking and personality between Obama and Jokowi as President influence the using of levels of formality. Not only culture or way of speaking of them but also their capability in handling all the questions during interview
