term that concerns within the language that has relation with the social life. It means that
language cannot be separated with the social life. People are not being able to build their
relationship with the others without language.
Furthermore, language is the bridge for human being in the world, where by
language people are able to communicate each other. In other words, language is the
important thing and most influenced in the human life to face the world. People have their
own language to express their idea, feeling, experience, thought and so on. People can
continue their life because of the language, so the language must be melted within the
human being. The researcher concludes that the language itself is not only a term that
human being should be learned but also language is the part of human life where the
human cannot be run or hidden from it.
Additionally, in the sociolinguistic, language seems so clearly that language is
influenced in the process of the growth of the human being and also the development of
the world including technology. Language has variety of function; it can be seen based on
the social groups or community. Beside it, language also defines not only for spoken,
according to Pardede and Kisno (2012:1), in the way of language communicated, it can be
divided into three ways for instance spoken language, written language and gesture. The
term spoken language refers to the speaker and hearer where language is spoken in
communicating. The term written language refers to the writers and the readers where the
language is written in communicating. The term gesture refers to the person that uses
body movement in communicating.
Furthermore, in sociolinguistic, language also can be identified based on the
writing gender. Where gender writing concerns with the ways to express their language
based on their gender (male and female). Here, the difference gender will show how many
words they used in speaking or written based on what they see. This research is
conducting to see the quantity of the words that used by male and female regarding to the
place like in the school and at home. Sometimes, people are most criticized in their school
with their second language.
In language using, the society has different ways to express their ideas, feeling,
emotions, and experience and so on. In the society, parents, teenagers and children have
different way to express the language for example the stress, intonation and so on. Here,
the researcher is interesting to the way of the children to express their language. What the
children are saying in delivered the message; it can be delivered in spoken and written to
2
the receiver. Discussing about writing, it can be defines as the symbolic representation of
language through the use of graphic sign (Yule 2010:212). The author highlights that
writing is the representation of the language based on what people see or thinking about
something. Here, the researcher wants to see the ability of the children at the school to
write sentences through a picture.
Based on the explanation above, the researcher is interesting to conduct a research
within title the analysis of writing gender in students writing skill at SMA Tunas Baru
Batam in academic year 2014/2015 by using sociolinguistics approach.
Every research has the identification of the problem that focus on the problem that
found regarding to the topic and here in this thesis, the researcher also has the
identification of the problem that coming from the ability of the students to writes
something through a picture. . Some authors also have ideas regarding to the writing
gender. Yule is one of the authors that giving idea about writing gender and he said that
there can be differences the words used by men and women in variety of language (Yule
2010:275). It means that in the way of men and women in word choice to write something
different.
Furthermore, a natural first step in a scientific approach to words is to seek to
establish the different types of words which appear in language (Radford and Adkinson
2009:129). It means that by creating a sentence in English language, he or she is required
to recognize the word classes in order to have a good sentence. The author also mentions
that there are four types of words are needed to recognize like Noun, Verb, Adjective, and
Adverb. On the other hand, characteristic of the sentence toward to the participants also
part of this research that the researcher uses to identify the problem that will be shown
through the sentence that written by the participants. According to Stockwell (2006:85),
there are some characteristics that can be used to recognize the sentence to describe the
participants characters. Here, the researcher takes two characters; they are being weak,
vulnerable or scared and being strong, capable and logical. Additionally, the researcher
would like to show some examples of the writing gender which are done by the researcher
in a few day ago, they are; 1) the first in this photo I can see a man and a baby they are at
home, probably in the living room; 2) on the left we can see the man holding the baby
with his right hand and vacuuming the carpet with his left hand; 3) the man is probably in
his thirties. I am not sure because I cant see his face. And the baby is very young, a few
months only; 4) The man is wearing a pair of white socks, jeans, a white T shirt and a
3
dark red shirt. The baby is wearing white nappies and rompers; 5) The man seems stressed
and the baby seems shocked; 6) The Living room is Untidy. There are a lot of things on
the sofa and on the floor: toys, a teddy bear, cushions, a striped blanket. There is a picture
on the wall; 7) In my opinion, it is a very funny photo.
From those examples mentioned above and based on the explanation above, here
the researcher identify the problem through three steps for instance quantity of words,
word classes and characteristics that used by the students in the ability to analyze a picture
by writing on a paper at SMA Tunas Baru Batam.
Limitation of the research is the problem that happens in the place of the research
that comes from the researcher related to the paper. Due to the time, and ability, the writer
makes the limitation of the problem in this paper. The research has limitation in analyzing
writing gender by using sociolinguistic approach that formulated as follow; 1) The
quantity of words; 2) The word classes; 3) The characteristic of the gender in the analysis
of writing gender in students writing skill at SMA Tunas Baru Batagm in academic year

It is part of the way in which societies are ordered around the people. The author also
defined that gender is a key component of identity. The author highlights that gender is a
terms that very important in the societies and help people to recognize the identity of a
person belongs to man or woman
Writing is a skill of a person in writing something that requires constant practical.
Writing is also a way in communication by producing words through ink on the paper . A
good writing is a skill that must be understood and mastered. Belmont, W and Sharkey, M
(2011:1). It means that a good writing is not only good in writing but he or she must
understand and know well what he or she writing is. Writing is the symbolic
representation of language through the use of graphic or sign. It means that people are
able to represent language by using graphic or sign. So, writing gender is the
representation of visualization by written in a paper.
Writing gender also defines as the ability of men or women to write down what
they see. so, writing gender is the study of exploring the different discursive strategies
4
used by men and women (Stokwell 2006 :159). It means that writing gender is the way to
see the differences of mens and womens strategy in writing (word choice and structure).
There are some characters that could help people to find out men and women characters in
a text, dialogues, recordings as follow below; (Stockwell 2006 : 85).
From those characters that mentioned above, because of the limitation of time and
the researcher will apply two of them. They are being weak, vulnerable or scared and
being strong, capable and logical. As with stereotypes, language which excludes women
can be dealt with two types, for instance by avoiding its use and by dealing sensitively
with exclusive language that comes up in, for example, authentic recordings. In the
second case, it is often enough to suggest that a teacher point out that a particular usage
may offend many women and to ensure that other authentic recordings demonstrate
inclusive language.
Grammar is a study about the structure of a sentence. Grammar is traditionally
subdivided into two different but inter-related areas of study, they are morphology and
syntax, Radford, A (2004:1). It means that grammar is the field where the words are
combined in order to build a sentence. Furthermore, one of the components of the
grammar is lexicon which is dictionary or list of all the lexical item or words in the
language and their linguistic properties Radford, A (2004:3). It means that grammar has
some component where lexicon is one of them which is defined as the list of words or
known as lexical categories where lexical category is a syntatic category for elements that
are part of the lexicon of a language.
These elements are at the word level. A syntactic category is a set of words and/or
phrases in a language which share a significant number of common characteristics. The

The main framework above consists of Fourth theories which support this
research. The first theory is about Sociolinguistic adopted from Stockwell (2006). The
second theory is about language adopted from Fromkin (2011). The third theory is about
gender adopted by Wardhaugh (2006). which is detail as the characteristic of writing
gender adopted from Stockwell (2006). Then the last theory is about writing gender
adopted from Stockwell P, (2006).
For the theoretical significances, this research is expected to enrich the literature
about the application of sociolinguistic approach in analyzing writing gender and this
research can be used as a reference. Practically, this research is expected to give much
help for both student and teacher. This research gives some information about how to

analyze writing gender in descriptive text written by the students through the pictures, so
teachers may teach more knowledge for the students about the writing gender.
METHODOLOGY OF THE RESEARCH
Object of the Research
Object of the research in this paper was the students of SMA Tunas Baru
Batam. It is located in Kavling Batu Aji Baru Blok C2 No. 3 Batam Riau Island. Ms.
D r a . N u r l i M a n u r u n g is a headmaster of the school. The number of students
of SMA Negeri 1 Batam in 2015 is 220 people, the numbers of boy are 90 students and
the numbers of girl are 130 students. It has 6 rooms of class: grade X consist of 2
rooms ( X A grade and X B grade ), grade XI consist of 2 rooms ( XI A grade and XI B
grade ), grade XII consist of 2 rooms ( XII A grade and XII B grade ). It has 15 teachers.
SMA Tunas Baru Batam has some facilities such as class, library, and laboratories of
physics, biology, chemistry, language, and computer.
Population and Sample
Population is the population of the data where the research is done and where the
data samples are taken. Additionally, the term population is defined as the total of items
about which information is desired (Kothari, 2004:153). The population of interest can
vary widely depending on the research question and the purpose of the research. The
population in this research is the members of students at SMA Tunas Baru Batam.
Researchers have 128 populations. Totally in 2 class total students 128 students. The data
of SMA Tunas Baru Batam for Ten grade in 1 class and Eleven grade in I class also in

in this research due to find out the using Writing gender in writing skill in English
study at class. Consider that the importance of writing genderr in students writing skill,
especially in school.
Sample is part of from the whole and characteristic from the population. If the
sample too big and the researcher cannot do research because of the limitation of time,
energy, and fund then the researcher can use the sample from population.
Sample is the amount of the data which are taken from the data population and data
sample will be used as the data to be analyzed. According to Milroy, L and Gordon, M
(2003:25), the sample is drawn by some mechanical procedure such as assigning random
numbers to the names on a list or selecting every individual from the frame. There are
two types in sampling data; they are probability sampling and non-probability sampling
(Kothari, 2004: 59-60). Non-probability sampling is that sampling procedure which does
not afford any basis for estimating the probability that each item in the population has of
being included in the sample, while probability sampling is also known as random
sampling or chance sampling. In this research, non-probability sampling will be applied
as the way in sampling day where it divided into three ways like deliberate sampling,
purposive sampling and judgment sampling (Kothari, 2006:59). From those ways, the
researcher selects judgment sampling to be applied because judgment sampling is a
judgment of the respondents which arise based on the information at the research place.
As mentioned above, for the first point shows that the researcher has been done a
pre-research to measure that this research is deserved to be researched. For the second
point, the researcher will come back again to the school and conduct the research. In
conducting the research, the researcher will collect the data by the documents collection
by using questionnaire. In this research, the researcher will be divided the questionnaire
into two parts. First, the research will ask the respondents to fill the questionnaire that
given where it concerns to the respondents in activity.
The questionnaire is multiple-choice. Second, the researcher also will ask the
respondents to fill the blank paper by describing a picture where the picture will show by
the researcher. The questionnaire is essay. Furthermore, concerning to the second part of
questionnaire about describing a picture, the picture that will be shown tells about the bad
behavior of the teenagers whether they are at home and school. The researcher chooses
the theme of the picture because it closes to the teenagers daily life.
Method of Analyzing Data
According to Cohen Louis, Manion Lawrence, and Morrison Keith (2007:470),
there are several stages in analyzing data, they are; 1) generating natural units of meaning;
2) classifying, categorizing and ordering these units of meaning; 3) structuring narratives
to describe the contents; 4) interpreting the data. The researcher will use the stages above
in analyzing the data as the guidance and the major steps in analyzing the data. In this
thesis, the researcher will analyze the data through some steps such as; 1) first of all, after
collecting the data from the students, the researcher will scan each of the paper that
already filled the students; 2) separate sentence by sentence and put them into the table, if
the word has more than one of class of word the researcher ignore it; 3) Classifying each
of words that used by the students into lexical categories; 4) classifying each of the
sentence that written by the students into characteristics of writing gender; 5) counting
words by words that written by the students; 6) giving some interpretations for each of the
students opinion through the picture; 7) making conclusion from the data analysis. The
picture is seen below :
The respondents will describe the picture in a piece of paper that given by the
researcher. They write the descriptive text as long as the researcher asks to write which is
finished in 10 minutes. After finishing the test, all of the texts are collected and will be
analyzed by the researcher. For example can be shown as detail below:

Based on the table above, it showed that the first picture and the second picture has
differences about the amount of the words that used by the respondents in describing
pictures. From the differences of the amount of the using of words, the theme of the
picture itself influenced the respondents to create a sentence. It can be seen from the first
picture that has bad behavior especially in riding a motorcycle. Additionally, even this
country has the law or rule in riding motorcycle but the teenager in the picture ignored the
rule and riding the motorcycle without helm and riding motorcycle within three persons
on one motorcycle. Otherwise, the second picture was not enough to push the participants
to create a sentence. Eventually, the researcher concluded that in describing a picture he or
she has to concern within the theme of the picture itself in order to get a better description
and helped the people in creating a sentence when they a picture.

Based on the table above, it was clearly result that showing the difference of the
words classes in describing a picture by respondents. So, by seeing the table above, the
researcher concluded that the respondents mostly used nouns in describing a picture
preceding verbs, adverbs and adjectives.
For both of table that discussing about class of word, the researcher dont put some
of words from each sentence especially very, fast, uniform into the table because those
words can be include to adjective and adverb and researcher only identify word by word
not adjective phrase , verb phrase, adverb phrase, and noun phrase.
17
Based on the table of the percentage of word produce above , here, the researcher
can identify in the first picture female mostly using noun describing a picture is about
57.1 % while male just about 53.3 % . And using verb also can identify that mostly in the
first picture, female about 28.6 % while male just 35. 6 %, and then the researcher also
can find that in first picture mostly female using adjective than male it is about 10.0 %
while male about 3.4 % .
For using adverb the researcher also can identify that mostly female is using adverb
than male, it is about female 7.8 % while male about 6.8 % in describing a picture. For
the second picture the researcher also identify that mostly female is use noun in
describing a picture than male, it is about female 53.5% while male about 46.7%. The
