INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the study

Humans are created as social-creatures who need each others. From those
principles, humans do a communication process in which there are interaction
between speakers and listeners to deliver information. This process cannot be
separated from the role of language. Language is medium which is used by
humans to interact and communicate. Language is dynamic from time to time, it
always occurs some changes in vocabularies, words and grammatical.1
According to Harimurti kridalaksana, language is a sound system of
signals which is agreed to use by part of group in certain society to cooperate,
communicate, and identify them self.2 As human communication equipment,
language is developed by systemic aspects; it means language not only a single-
system but also consists of several sub-systems, phonology, morphology sub-
system, syntax sub-system, and semantic sub-system.3 Briefly, Ronald Wardaugh
says that “A very basic observation is that each language contains two systems
rather than one, a system of sound and a system of meaning. Only certain sounds
used by speakers are possible”.4

Language has meaning and a meaning can change, because language has
dynamic characteristic. A change of meaning happens because of time and place
in certain districts or countries which urge the change of meaning. In meaning,
changes result from language contact, from cultural development requiring new
vocabulary, and from reshaping existing meanings.5 Synchronically, meaning of
word does not change, but in diachronically it enables to change. It means, in a
very short period meaning of a word is same, it does not change, but in a long
periods it enables to change.6
The words which are borrowed from foreign language will get the change
of meaning based on time and place. Language is able to change from time to time
refers to socio-cultural of society users.7 Every nation has their own language.
Indonesian has a hundreds of region-language which is united by national
language. Bahasa Indonesia is an identity of Indonesians. Furthermore, it cannot
relieve from foreign culture acculturation which can be seen in language varieties,
arts, and thoughts.
The varieties of Indonesian language are influenced by borrowing-words
which are borrowed from English, because English is considered as international
language. As the result, the Indonesian language was influenced by English and
nowadays it becomes usual in our country to borrow their language.
Furthermore, the Indonesian language much undergoes the change and
growth both utterances and meanings. In some fields, Indonesian language is
widening to follow up the growth of knowledge significantly. Because of that, one
