Abstract

This study aims to describe the diversity of Sundanese forms of address in families. The use of Sundanese forms of address in Sundanese ethnic families is currently mixed with Indonesian addresses, especially in urban families. The problems studied are related to the types of forms of address and the influence of social variables on the choice of forms of address. The method used is descriptive. Data collection is actualized by using a survey distribution method through an open-ended questionnaire. The selected respondents are the students of Sundanese Literature of the Faculty of Cultural Sciences of Universitas Padjadjaran, who come from and live on the border of Bandung City. The theoretical basis used in this study is a sociolinguistic approach. The results of the analysis show that the types of Sundanese forms of address used in the family include proper names, kinship terms, terms of endearment, personal pronouns, and combinations of forms of address. Social variable factors in the form of situations that influence a change of a selection of types forms of address are happy, sad, and angry situations. This study contributes to the viewpoint that language attitudes are also determining factors in the use of the address.
