Abstract
Language styles emerge as one of the sociolinguistics subfields that focus on the way people speak based on the formality scale of the social life that people have. This research, entitled "An Analysis of Language Styles used by the main characters in the dialogues in the "Business Proposal" series", is a thesis that aims to show the difference in language styles using Martin Joos's (1967) theory from his book "The Five Clocks" as well as the social factors theory by Janet Holmes (2013) that influence the usage of language styles. The method used in this thesis is a qualitative method, and the data source is a series from South Korea with the title "Business Proposal." The researchers have found that there are 144 dialogues in 10 episodes of the series that consist of 0 dialogues in frozen style, 3 dialogues in formal style, 80 dialogues in consultative style, 55 dialogues in casual style, and 6 dialogues in intimate style. After that, to conclude this research, the researchers discovers that the usage of language styles by the main characters is caused by social factors such as participants’ age and position, settings of home and office, jokes and serious topics, and functions in sharing information and asking something.
