Abstract


This article attempts to overview the topic of language in social interaction particularly in Simalungun context. This also discusses about the different forms of language in use which comprises formal, semi-formal and informal types. Apart from its use on the daily communication or social interaction, the Simalungun language has also been an essential instrument in other occasions. The language is also known to be vital in serving to different purposes and functions particularly in some aspects such as integration and social adaptation; social control and political communication. Some of these functions are followed by examples of conversations from the local society of Simalungun.
