11 ABSTRACT This research focuses on the use of address terms, the Tu Vous dimension reflected in the use of address terms between husbands and wives, and the children s identity reflected through the use of address terms in Javanese and Chinese mixed married families. The writer obtained the data from the interview with 30 participants: 15 first children from Javanese father Chinese mother and their parents, and 15 first children from Chinese father Javanese mother mixed married families and their parents. The data were analyzed by grouping the address terms used by the participants in addressing the members of their family. The results show that the majority of participants who are from Javanese father and Chinese mother families use neutral address terms, while the majority of participants who are from Chinese father and Javanese mother families use Chinese address terms. Moreover, the results show the majority of husbands and wives, either Javanese or Chinese are equal (symmetrical Vous) and they used neutral address terms (Pah, Mah). Besides, pronominal address terms used by husbands and wives are the same; an individual gives and receives the same form. It means that they are democratic. They have same power. Last, the result shows the majority of children in Javanese father and Chinese mother families and Chinese father and Javanese mother families prefer to be addressed by using their names (neutral address terms) showing neutral identity. x

12 ABSTRAK Penelitian ini difokuskan pada kata sapaan yang digunakan, dimensi Tu dan Vous yang digunakan oleh para suami dan istri, dan identitas anak tercermin dari kata sapaan yang lebih mereka sukai di keluarga campuran Jawa dan Cina. Penulis mendapatkan data dari interview dengan 30 orang: yang mana 15 orang anak pertama yang berasal dari keluarga yang mana ayahnya dari suku Jawa dan ibunya dari suku Cina dan kedua orangtua mereka, dan 15 orang anak pertama yang berasal dari keluarga yang mana ayahnya dari suku Cina dan ibunya dari suku Jawa dan kedua orangtua mereka. Data dianalisa dengan cara mengelompokkan kata sapaan yang digunakkan oleh para peserta dalam memanggil anggota keluarga mereka. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas dari subyek penelitian yang mana ayahnya berasal dari suku Jawa dan ibunya dari suku Cina menggunakan kata sapaan netral, sedangkan mayoritas dari subyek penelitian yang mana ayahnya berasal dari suku Cina dan ibunya berasal dari suku Jawa menggunakan kata sapaan Cina. Selanjutnya, hasil menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas para suami dan istri adalah sama (simetris Vous), dan mereka menggunakan kata sapaan netral (Pah, Mah). Dimana, kata ganti yang digunakan oleh suami dan istri adalah sama; masing-masing individu memberi dan menerima bentuk yang sama. Itu berarti mereka demokratis; mereka punya kekuasaan yang sama. Terakhir, hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas dari anak-anak di keluarga campuran Jawa dan Cina lebih suka dipanggil dengan nama mereka (kata sapaan netral) yang menunjukkan identitas yang netral. xi
