INTRODUCTION
People as zoon politicons always need to do interaction. Nobody can interact with others without language. In the interaction setting, people may use many kinds of language variation, which reflects changes in situational factor, such as addresses, setting, and topic. Every language has a different style, which depends on many factors, for example: dialect, social status, idiolect, area, oral & written text, creating words system and new expression (Nababan in Sutopo, 1997: 70). In other words, it is obvious that language style also influences the language use. People utilize the specific vocabulary associated with different occupational groups or people"s understanding.
There are so many groups in our life, although they live in the same society.
They are doctors, teachers, and politicians, even athletes. Each group of people has its own vocabulary to express its feeling. The politicians" community uses their own vocabulary in communication that cannot be understood by other community.
Polity generally tends to discuss power, authority, and influence. Political world deals with how to organize the mass and how to persuade people to build public opinion. Therefore, to master public opinion it requires a medium of communication; language.
Political language is the language, which is used to reach the aim of polity (Nimmo, 1993: 75). In fact, to convey the message, politicians often use a particular word, which has different interpretation from real meaning. For example, the word suksesi (succession) universally has semantic feature keberhasilan (success). Meanwhile, the word suksesi in political world does not mean success, instead it means change the ruler, for instance the president. A particular word such as the word suksesi is usually called a register Register means the language of a group of people with common interest or job or the language used in situation associated with such group. Holmes (1992: 72) argues that register is usually characterized by vocabulary differences; either by the use of particular words or by use of the words in particular sense.

Radityo Tri Nugroho LET: Linguistics, Literature and Language Teaching Journal Vol. 9 No. 1 2019 Common people may not understand the special language used in polity when they get in touch with it because the meaning that appears at the surface is not always the same as the real meaning. In the political realm, politician uses language strategy not only to attack the rivals but also to produce certain effect.
They use language not only to express idea but also to hide it because there is an interest behind of the idea. For example, "Tidak sesuai dengan prosedur dan inskontitusional". (Megawati. S. P. Republika 8 Juni 2001). The statement conveyed by Megawati as vice president during Abdurraman Wahid administration shows disagreement with President Abdurrahman Wahid"s policy.
The aim of the statement is to create opinion that what the president has done is wrong by using the word "Tidak sesuai dengan prosedur dan inskonstitusional" misprocedure and unconstitutional. The term is the example of euphemism, which tends to mean pelanggaran sistem (breaking the law.) Language phenomenon used by Indonesian politician is very interesting.
Language abuse such as, language manipulation, meaning reduction often occurs (Anderson in Danang, 2003: 3). This indicates that Indonesian political language is a sign or reflection of diseases.
In Polity, there is unequal communication between politician and common people. Politicians with their own power always empower language for their interest. Consequently, it raises some phenomena in which common people often do misinterpret the political language of politicians.
Every regime in Indonesia has its own characteristics of political language. Games in united states in America", he finds that generally register is in the form of word and phrase. He also finds that each register which is used to represent one event that happen in either game. His study shows that the differences in meaning between general meaning and the contextual meaning of each register are quite significant.
The other researcher who has similar topic is Slamet Widodo (2004) that is "Register Export-import document". He finds three categories of the language P a g e | 26 From those studies, it is clear that there is no study of register on Polity.
Therefore, this study will fill the absence of the study under the topic of register used in political world.

Notion of Register
Register is considered to be language variety, along with dialect, slang, and jargon`. Example of register in this framework includes aviation language, journalese, legalese, literary language, scientific language, technical language, and mythical language (Biber, 1994: 51). The term register narrowly describes the specific vocabulary associated with different occupational groups. Holmes (1992: 276) notes that the register is the language of group of people with common interest, job, or the language used in situation associated with such group. In some sense register is "in-group", which leads to express and speedy communication of information among those who know and use them but are confused those who don"t. A politician has particular words to keep the power goes on. Biber (1994: 51) states that register as a communication that recurs regularly in a society (in term of participant, setting, communicative function, and so forth) will tend overtime to develop identifying markers of language structure and language use is different from the language of other communication situation. Wardhough (1977: 162) argues that register is the particular vocabulary choices made by individual or a group to fulfill the variety of language function to add up communication. Meanwhile, Biber and Figenan (1994: 316) note that register is a term for the full range of language varieties associated with difference in communicative situation. Of course, register is included in sociolinguistic study. Sociolinguistics is the study of language in use. If sociolinguistic is a wide-situation is called register.
In Summary, it is clear that register is a language variety used in certain community, which has specific meaning distinguished according to use. It is socially typical; it is used in certain situation, occupation/ certain groups and usually has certain purposes. The writer considers the register here as vocabulary.

a. Word
A word is the smallest meaningful unit that can be used independently to convey meaning (Katamba 1994: 56). Based on the definition of morphology, word is the smallest free form that forms language. According to Srijono (2001: 51), word is the smallest free form found in language. Free form means that word can stand by itself. Example of word is house. Baurer (in Yule 1985: 7) also notes that there are same forms of word such as simple word, blends, clip word, acronym and abbreviation.

1.
Simple word: simple word is a word that consists of a single morpheme. For example: train, boy, and book.

2.
Blended: blending is the fusion of two words into one, usually the first part of one word with the last part of another, so that the resultant blends consist of both original meaning. For example the word motor and hotel became motel, which is used to mean a hotel for motorist.

3.
Clipped Word: clipping is a process in which a word is formed by shortening a longer one, such as zoological garden becomes zoo.

4.
Acronym: acronym is the result of forming a word from the first letter or letter of each word in phrase. Such as radar (Radio detecting and ranging)

5.
Abbreviation: abbreviation is shortened form, especially of word. Yule (1985) states that another reduction process of word is the use of P a g e | 28 Radityo

Kinds of Meaning
Every register human being produced has its own meaning. Sometimes it is difficult to deliver the massage because in the same term some people have different interpretation from others. It is also concerned with the context and the user of register.
According to Larson (1988: 271), meaning can be classified into four, namely: a. Lexical meaning: the meaning that is given by dictionary. For example: the word chair in the dictionary has meaning moveable seat with a back, for one person. function as a means of starting a conversation, but as a medical question.

Notion of Polity
Polity is a general term that refers to political organization of a group. It is often used to describe a loosely organized society such as a tribe or community, but it can also mean any political group including a government or empire. It is also used to describe religious political organizations, particularly Christianity.
Subtypes of polity include hierarchical, Presbyterian, and congregational.
Aristotle described a polity as rule by the many, who are neither wealthy nor poor, in the interests of the whole community (Wikipedia, free encyclopedia 2005).
As it is written in Webters School Dictionary (1980: 1788), polity is political organization, a form of political organization, politically organized, and the form of government of religious denomination. The term polity can be separated from the politician. The politician as a main actor of polity has an important role. It is defined in Bewers dictionary of politic in Beard (2000: 7) that politician is a practitioner of the art of politics, essential to working of human society but frequently despised by those outside the political arena. Indeed, the word is sometimes abused. The word politician in denotative meaning has definition is person who is practically engaged in running a country, district or town. However, the connotative meaning surrounding the word politician is nearly negative.

Characteristics of the Political Language
Political language is the language, which is used to reach the aims of politic.
According to Beard (2000: 6), political language is a language used by politicians.
The features of political language vary, as do its purposes. Where politicians P a g e | 30 Radityo Tri Nugroho LET: Linguistics, Literature and Language Teaching Journal Vol. 9 No. 1 2019 interact with society generally, their purposes may be to persuade voters with a party loyalty to turn out to vote, to move a floating voter's party allegiance, or to make people adopt general political or social attitudes, so the people support a given policy. According to Dan Nimmo (1993: 102), politicians in provoking the mass often use the language, which contains euphemism, symbol, hyperbole, and metaphor.

a.
Euphemism refers to something offensive or delicate to make it sound more pleasant or acceptable than really is. For example, pass away is used to replace the word die. fire. In addition, Beard (2000: 19) notes that metaphor refers to word or phrase, which is used to establish comparison between one idea and another.
c. Puffery (Hyperbola) or overstatement is simple exaggeration in the service of truth (Perrine, 1977: 102). For example, the river boils through the sentence. The word hot never appears yet; a practical reader is to bond to interpret or to associate boils as hot. Since the authors describe extremely hot water by means of such an expression, the writer creates a hyperbole.

d.
Symbol is defined as something that means more than what it is (Perrine, 1977: 81 The writer employs the qualitative research. Moloeng (1983: 3I) affirms that qualitative research is a research of which the data in the forms of written and oral words are descriptively analyzed. In slightly different way, Milles and Hubberman (1992:2) maintain, "Qualitative data tend to be in the form of words than series of number". It does not present data and research result in the form of digits or statistic but it yields the data and the results in the form of phenomenon description.
The object of the study is the register used in political language that takes from the Indonesian newspaper "Suara Merdeka" which contains register polity.

They are considered as the material of the research. In collecting the data, he employs the steps as follows: (1) Reading the newspaper; (2) The second step is scrutinizing the data and selects the data that belong to polity register; (3) The third is taking a list of polity register.
The technique of data analysis used in this study is descriptive qualitative analysis. This study will use such kind of technique to analyze the meaning of register and the characteristic of it. The steps to analyze the data are as follows: (1) Classifying the register into form of register into each element of words, abbreviation and phrase; (2) Elaborating the register meaning based on classification above; (3) Defining the register according to its characteristic.
