Abstract

People utilize various communication methods to interact with each other, which vary based on the specific circumstances and setting. The speaker considers the addressee and the context when determining which words to use, as well as the structure and grammar of the sentences. The phenomenon of adjusting different speech styles in various social circumstances is commonly known as language style. The main focus of this research aimed to analyze the different types of language style depending on the age-graded variation of the guests used by the Korean Englishman YouTube channel host, Josh Carrott, to interview his guests through the utterances and the context of the conversation. The researcher also examined the social factors that influence the speaker's language style. This research consists of two statements of problems: (1) What are the social factors of using language style performed by Josh Carrott on each age-graded variations of the guests in the Korean Englishman YouTube channel? And (2) How does Josh Carrott use the types of language style based on the age-graded variations of the guests in the Korean Englishman YouTube Channel? The researcher intended to conduct this research using the language style theory proposed by Martin Joos (1967) and its social factors introduced by Janet Holmes (2013). The age-graded variation theory by Florian Coulmas (2005) also marks an intriguing aspect of language style that will be a foundational framework to determine the age differences of guests in each selected video that will be analyzed in this research. This research is conducted using the qualitative descriptive method. As a result, the researcher found that all social factors greatly influence Josh’s choice of language style. However, the main factors that play a very important role in influencing Josh Carrott’s choice of various language styles are participants and topics. This can be proven through the utilization of the formal language style, which is more prevalent in the age-graded variation categories of Old Age and Adulthood as opposed to Adolescence and Infancy. This proves that age is a significant factor in the process of acquiring, using, varying, and changing language.
