Abstract

The study is aimed at investigating men's and women's language features used by children in ‘HiHo Kids’ video youtube channel, which shows the phenomenon of language features between boys and girls in little boys and little girls aged 5-12 years. There are two problems to be solved in this study, namely: (1) what are the men and women language features used by little boys and girls in ‘HiHo Kids’ video youtube channel, and (2) what are the factors that support differences between men and women language features used by little boys and little girls in ‘HiHo Kids’ Youtube Channel. This study applied a descriptive study in textual analysis to analyze the children's conversation through the dialogue in ‘HiHo Kids’ video youtube channel. The data were collected first by selecting the videos in ‘HiHo Kids’ YouTube channel as data sources. Then, the researcher watched selected videos and copied the transcript from Youtube as data sources and highlighted the utterances that contained the data based on the dialogue, the transcript of each utterance, clause, word, sentence, and phrase by the little boys based on the male language features by Coates and the little girls based on the female language features by Lakoff. Finally, the researcher analyzed the dialogue by identifying the types of men’s and women’s language features by applying suitable codes in the appropriate text. This study found 11 male language features in boys who appeared in “HiHo Kids’ YouTube video channel. There are 4 topic choices, 11 questions, and 1 monologue playing expert. Whereas for girls, the researcher found seven features of female speech, including 2 lexical hedges, 2 question tags, 1 rising intonation, 1 empty adjective, 3 avoidance of strong swear, 2 empathic stress, and 9 intensifiers. In this study, the age difference is the most prominent factor causing features of male and female language use. Children experience significant cognitive development, so the complexity of thinking, understanding, and processing information increases with age. Thus, the age difference in these children influences their understanding of language and their ability to combine more complex words and sentences influence the use of men’s and women’s language features.
