sociolinguistic looked first language as a system of social and communication system (Suwito,
1985: 2). The Indonesian nation has always had a national language, the language of Indonesia

language is the language of the living area and in use by the narrative-penuturannya Javanese. In
the meantime, communication is essentially the message and how this is done. Speakers shall
make every effort so that the content of the message is conveyed effectively while working to
make hearer could catch without disabilities. Thus, the speakers must consider who and where
partners he said. Note also that language usage norms (appropriateness use of language). The use
of stylistic euphemism dikerenakan community culture laid the language used by the wearer
smooth and courteous. For example, Mesakake ya, wis lara suwe, akhire mati. Mesakake ya, wis
lara suwe, akhire sedo. The use of euphemism sedo considered better and courteous used to
replace the word mati. Said mati in the community are still considered too rude and impolite
because mati is also commonly used word to say of dead animals. for example: 1. Kucingku telon
