Style Preferences

When we communicate with others, we usually know when we are expected to contribute to an evolving dialogue, such as during a debate, or when it is suitable to generate predictable responses, for example, at a marriage ceremony. However, in cross-cultural communication situations, communicating partners may have different assumptions in this respect. In particular, when a western communicator expects a dialogical development, a Russian participant may expect the same communication situation to progress as a sequence of predictable communication acts. This clash of implicit expectations often results in communication failure, without either party realizing that implementing incompatible approaches to information sharing is the reason for this failure. In this article, I introduce the terms ‘dialogical engagement’ and ‘monological sequencing’ whilst exploring cross-cultural communication problems between Russia and the West. I use these terms to describe mechanisms that characterize both cultures’ preferred communication patterns and which, when inadvertently deployed, cause collisions between Russian and western communicating partners. By uncovering these differences, I intend to progress beyond merely acknowledging cross-cultural communication problems between the two worlds. Besides, as in the Russian cultural setting, more communication situations are implicitly expected to develop as monological sequences than similar situations in the West, understanding this particular distinction may prevent practitioners in numerous fields from making the mistake of expecting cross-cultural communication situations to develop in line with their implicit assumptions.

This study aims to describe the language phenomenon of online motorcycle taxi drivers in Jakarta related to the choice of language in conversations on social media. The method used is descriptive qualitative. Data is obtained through observation techniques on the conversations of Go-send online motorcycle taxi riders via the WA group messaging application. Based on the results of the study, it was found that Gosend motorcycle taxi drivers chose a variety of languages when interacting in the WA group. Most drivers start using and creating new languages, and use English when communicating. This phenomenon is influenced by the language created and used by drivers. They feel more comfortable when communicating in the WA application. Therefore, they choose other language codes, for example Indonesian or foreign languages. In addition, a similar incident resulted from the development of several new languages so that the Go-send motorcycle taxi drivers were nicknamed ninja turtles. Various new vocabulary or terms have sprung up among them, such as drivers, scans, cancel, orders, blur, WD, gacor, sherloc, nopon, telephone, opang, and others that were viral in the WA group application conversation. Without hesitation they choose the vocabulary or term in communicating with their interlocutors who may actually rarely meet.
