- Sociolinguistic is a branch of Linguistics which investigates the relationship and the aspects between language and society. Sociolinguistic also studies about variation of language. One of language variation in Sociolinguistic is colloquial. Colloquial is ordinary, relaxed, and informal speech which uses contraction, connecting words and phrases, abbreviated utterance, and using many words and expressions to avoid in formal context. The goals of this study were to know the colloquial and to describe the word formation process used to form the colloquial found in English Department studentsÂ’ SMS writing. This study used descriptive qualitative research, because the data were non numerical form and the data were collected in the form of words not in the form of number. The object of this study was English Department studentsÂ’ SMS writing during the whole month of messaging on April 2012. This study used document analysis as research instrument.
