  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background of Study People Cannot
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background of Study People cannot be separated from the process of communication. As human beings, people need to interact with the others. People use different language in society according to their surrounding communities. Language is a guide for everyone to communicate between individuals and communities. People use language to deliver messages to others. Through language, the speakers could identify themselves because they view their language as a symbol of their identity. Sociolinguistics is a study about how people use language and create a new language in their society or group. Language can be changed due to two factors, first, everyone has their own style from different social, and second, sometimes the new language has adopted from different language. Each society has their own language because of their condition and people also have creativity to create something new in their community such as new words. According to (Wardaugh, 2006) Sociolinguistic concerns with investigating the relationships between language and society with the goal to be a better understanding of the language structure and how language functions in communication; the equivalent goal in the sociology of language is trying to discover how social structure can be better understood through the study of language. In other words, through language, people are free to express their communicate needs to say anything to each other. The language that is used by each community is different. Language and community are related and people will use the different language in every different community. One of the examples is Korean fans or K-pop’s fans.

BUS STATION - THE MIDDLE OP NOWHERE, U.S.A. - NIGHT A small terminal with half-a-dozen busports. a desolate transfer point surrounded by open flatlands. An INTERSTATE BUS drives down the nearby off-ramp and pulls into the station. A TICKET LADY in her mid-5Os sits at the ticket window, watching as the bus arrives. The STATION MANAGER stands in the ticket office door. BUS DRIVER (OS) (over bus P.A. system) We'll be stopping for about ten minutes. Feel free to stretch your legs or get a soda, just don't get left behind... The Bus Driver exits the bus, followed by a few WEARY TRAVELERS. The Driver lights a cigarette and approaches the Manager, casting his eyes up at the awning/roof above them. BUS DRIVER He's still here? The Manager and the Ticket Lady both follow his gaze upwards and jfl^?£\ nod with pained expressions. STATION MANAGER Yep. 'Been up there a week now... We're starting to get a little jumpy. BUS DRIVER What are you gonna do? STATION MANAGER • I was kinda hoping you could help.. The Manager holds up a bus ticket. The Driver blanches as the CAMERA RISES away from them, up to the station's flat metal roof. Striking a heroic pose on the roof, THE TICK keeps watch over the station. He's a towering, insanely-muscled man in a blue body suit and mask. Segmented antennae bob atop his head as he narrates dramatically to (and about) himself.
