Kurt Hummel’s Language Features in Glee Television Series Season 1: A Sociolinguistic Analysis. Yogyakarta: English Language Education Study Program, Sanata Dharma University. The use of language by individuals is influenced by many factors. Gender is one factor that influences the use of language. In this research, gender is seen to be different from sex. It is seen as a social construction rather than as a fixed category. As a result, women and men do not stick to one language style but change it based on their social context. Therefore, the researcher was interested in analyzing the women’s language used by a feminine man named Kurt Hummel in Glee Television Series Season 1. In conducting the research, a research question was formulated: What women’s language features does Kurt Hummel use in his speech in Glee Television Series Season 1? The research was qualitative research in which discourse analysis was employed to analyze the data. Kurt Hummel’s language features in Glee Television Series Season 1 was used as the primary data. The researcher was the human instrument who was involved significantly collecting the data. Observation checklist was also used as the research instrument to help the researcher analyzing the data to answer the research question. The researcher identified that women’s language features used by Kurt Hummel in Glee Television Series Season 1 were lexical hedges or fillers, tag questions, raising intonation on declaratives, empty adjectives, intensifiers, hypercorrect grammar, superpolite forms, avoidance of strong swear words and emphatic stress. Meanwhile, the researcher did not find one feature of women’s language which is precise of color terms in Kurt Hummel’s utterances since it was influenced by the topic discussion. Besides the topic discussion, other factor that influenced Kurt’s language was his identity as a man associated with femininity. Although he was a man, he used women’s language features because he tended not to be certain with his utterances. It confirms Holmes who states the use of hedging and boosting devices are not only influenced by gender but also by power. People who are powerless in the society usually use a relatively high number of these devices.

Kurt Hummel’s Language Features in Glee Television Series Season 1: A Sociolinguistic Analysis. Yogyakarta: Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Universitas Sanata Dharma. Penggunaan bahasa oleh individu dipengaruhi oleh berbagai macam faktor. Gender merupakan salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi penggunaan bahasa. Dalam penelitian ini, gender dipandang berbeda dengan jenis kelamin. Gender dilihat sebagai sebuah konstruksi sosial dan bukan sebagai sebuah kategori tetap. Akibatnya, wanita dan pria tidak hanya menggunakan satu gaya bahasa tetapi mengubahnya berdasarkan konteks sosial mereka. Oleh karena itu, peneliti tertarik untuk menganalisis bahasa perempuan yang digunakan oleh pria feminin bernama Kurt Hummel dalam Glee Television Series Season 1. Dalam melakukan penelitian ini, terdapat sebuah rumusan masalah: Karakteristik bahasa perempuan apa saja yang Kurt Hummel gunakan dalam Glee Television Series Season 1? Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dimana analisis wacana digunakan untuk menganalisis data. Karakteristik bahasa yang digunakan Kurt Hummel dalam Glee Television Series Season 1 digunakan sebagai data utama. Peneliti berperan sebagai “human instrument” yang secara signifikan mengumpulkan data. Observation checklist juga digunakan sebagai instrumen penelitian untuk membantu peneliti dalam menganalisa data untuk menjawab rumusan masalah. Peneliti mengidentifikasi bahwa karakteristik bahasa perempuan yang digunakan oleh Kurt Hummel dalam Glee Television Series Season 1 adalah lexical hedges or fillers, tag questions, raising intonation on declaratives, empty adjectives, intensifiers, hypercorrect grammar, superpolite forms, avoidance of strong swear word, dan emphatic stress. Sementara itu, peneliti tidak menemukan satu karakteristik bahasa perempuan yang disebut precise color terms dalam ujaran Kurt Hummel karena hal ini dipengaruhi oleh topik diskusi. Selain topik diskusi, faktor lain yang mempengaruhi penggunaan bahasa Kurt adalah identitas Kurt sebagai seorang pria yang dikaitkan dengan feminitas. Walaupun Kurt adalah seorang pria, ia menggunakan karakteristik bahasa perempuan karena cenderung tidak yakin dengan ucapannya. Hal ini menegaskan pernyataan Holmes yang menyebutkan bahwa penggunaan hedging dan boosting devices tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh gender, tapi juga oleh kekuasaan di masyarakat. Orang yang tidak berkuasa biasanya akan sering menggunakan karakteristik tersebut.
