Keywords:
Language, Style, Conversation, TourismAbstract
Communication between public service staff of the Government Tourism Office sometimes does not rule out finding service-related conversations. The use of the term in the conversation may not be understood by the public and only the membership can understand the code suspended by the relevant staff. This article is intended to find the language styles expressed in the conversation of the Government Tourism Office and to vouch for the implied meaning of the style represented in the conversation. This study dealt with qualitative research. The data sources were informants who have worked at the Government Tourism Office and the data was the conversations uttered by the informants. Data were collected by using content analysis and applying an interpretivism model analysis. The findings showed that the style of utterances expressed in the conversation among staff at the government tourism office were frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate. Some categories were used as a form of expression in informal situations and as more relaxed in communication, while others is used because it was determined and more formal. The implied meaning or intent conveyed by the staff was often implied or not stated directly in the conversation.
