The Influence of Social Dynamics on Language Use at SMPN 7 Palopo
Abstract
Armia
Language, as a primary means of communication, plays an important role in shaping social interactions and reflecting group dynamics. In the school environment, particularly junior high schools, language is not only used to convey academic information, but also a medium for students and teachers to build relationships,and express identity.
The purpose of this observation is to understand the dynamics of communication among students and teachers at SMPN 7 Palopo, and to identify the social factors that influence language use in these interactions. This observation focuses on how language is used in various contexts in the school environment, both in formal situations such as in the classroom and in informal interactions such as in the canteen or school grounds.
This observation is expected to provide insight into how language is not only a means of communication, but also a medium that reflects social hierarchy and group identity within SMPN 7 Palopo. The data collected will be analyzed to identify patterns and trends in language use, as well as to understand the social implications of the observed communication dynamics.
