Abstract
Language can be understood as symbols or
sounds that humans have used to communicate and identify themselves since life
began. Government officials as role models are expected to be able to use good,
polite and communicative language when interacting with the public. Research on
the language styles of state officials in the context of spontaneous interviews
is relevant and important because it can reflect vital aspects of communication
in the world of government. The language style used by state officials can have
a major impact on the effectiveness of communication, the country's image and
reputation, as well as the public's understanding of public policy.Based on research
resultslanguage styles of state officials in the context of spontaneous
interviews, it can be concluded that in general state officials use four
language styles, namely language styles based on word choice, tone contained,
sentence structure, and whether the meaning is direct or direct. First,
language style is based on word choice. This language style is the dominant
language style used by state officials. This tendency is more towards the use
of informal language styles and conversational language styles. Language style
is based on tone, this language style is only found in Anies Baswedan's speech.
The language styles used include simple language styles, medium language
styles, and powerful noble language styles. Furthermore, language style is
based on sentence structure, this language style is found but does not become
the dominant language style. Language styles based on whether the meaning is
direct or not include rhetorical language styles and figurative language
styles, these language styles are not found very often. However, when compared
between the two styles, rhetorical language style is used more often than
figurative language style.
