Abstract

Bahasa yang digunakan manusia dipengaruhi beberapa faktor, salah satu yang dibahas dalam penelitian ini adalah faktor gender. Berdasarkan penjelasan dari para ahli di bidang linguistik, ada perbedaan yang disebabkan gender yang mempengaruhi penggunaan bahasa. Penelitian ini melebarkan kajian gender dengan melibatkan cakupan bidang linguistik dan psikologi yang lebih sering mengklasifikan gender menjadi maskulin, feminin, dan androgini. Pada penelitian ini, fokus utama adalah androgini. Pendekatan kualitatif dan analisa dokumen digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Data penelitian didapatkan dari kuesioner Bem Sex Role Inventory dan rekaman percakapan. Dalam menganalisa data, peneliti menggunakan teori dari Blank (1997, 1999) dan Campbell (1993) tentang perubahan makna. Hasil penelitian menunjukan jenis perubahan makna yang ditemukan di percakapan androgini diklasifikasikan menjadi kelompok besar, denotatif dan konotatif. Perubahan makna pada denotatif ditemukan 10 pelebaran makna dan 1 penyempitan makna. Perubahan makna pada konotatif terdapat 5 metafora, 1 pola eufemisme, dan 6 pola hiperbola. Penelitian ini hanya fokus pada bidang semantika, untuk penelitian mendatang, para calon peneliti lebih bisa mempertimbangkan cabang linguistik lainnya, seperti sintaksis, morfologi, fonologi, atau cabang linguistik lain sebagai referensi fokus penelitian dengan objek yang sama, yakni androgini.

English Abstract

Language used by human varies depending on several factors, the one that had been discussed in this research is gender factor. As suggested by some experts in linguistics, there were quite differences spotted on how gender factor governed human in using language. The research broadened the understanding of gender by incorporating the perspectives from linguistics and psychology that often classified gender based on three division; male, female, and androgyny. The focus of the research was on the androgyny. Qualitative approach and document analysis were employed in this research. The data were gained from Bem Sex Role Inventory test and recording the conversation. In analyzing the data, the researcher used theory from Blank (1997, 1999) and Campbell (1993) about semantic change. The result showed that the types of semantic change found in androgyny conversation ranged from denotative to connotative meaning classification. For denotative meaning, there found 10 patterns of extension and 1 pattern of restriction. For connotative meaning found 5 patterns of metaphor, 1 pattern of euphemism, and 6 patterns of hyperbole. Since the research only specified in area of semantic, perhaps for future researcher can be more considering other linguistics branches such as syntax, morphology, phonology or other field to be research focus with same object, that is androgyny.
