Abstract

Men and women are distinct, physically and mentally. It makes the language used by men distinct from the language used by women. The differences between the language used by men and women formed because society has constructed them to be different. Since the differences between men's and women's language can be observed in conversation, the researcher chooses an American TV show, The Ellen Show episode The Incomparable Malala Yousafzai, as the object of analysis. The researcher finds language friction in Malala's utterances during the show. Malala, as a woman, tends to use features commonly used by men, and it contrasts with the theory of women's language proposed by Robin Lakoff. This research aims to identify the changes in men's and women's language features used by Malala and the features of women's language used properly by Malala by combining women's language theory by Robin Lakoff and men's language theory by Jennifer Coates. It is done to compare the tendency of Malala in using men and women language features. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. The research's results show that there are indications that the language used by Malala is more attached to the characteristics of men's language. It is proven by the findings of this research, which states that there are three kinds of changes in women's language features, such as humor sentences, non-standard grammar, and direct speech. Furthermore, there are four kinds of changes in men's language features, such as competitive sentences, minimal responses, compliments, and commands and directives. Moreover, the researcher also finds that there are only two out of ten features of women language used appropriately by Malala, such as intensifiers and lexical hedges or fillers.
