A contextual analysis of elaborated and restricted code in Wardah Heart to Heart talk show episode two
Abstract
This study investigates the role of context that influences the use of elaborated code (EC) and restricted code (RC) in Asma Elbadawi’s speech on Wardah Heart to Heart talk show episode two. Employing a sociolinguistic approach, this study draws on Bernstein's code theory, as well as Holmes’s context theory using intralingual and extra-lingual commensurate methods. The results show that Asma tends to use EC to convey her message effectively, but she also uses RC in particular situations on the talk show. The findings indicate the use of EC and RC in Asma’s speech is not only influenced by her socio-economic background but also by the situational context of the speech event, such as genre, setting, participants, message content, and purpose. This study contributes to offering a broader perspective in the sociolinguistic field by highlighting how different contexts in a speech event, especially in a talk show, can influence the code usage of an individual.
