Keywords:
borrowing words, seminar, presentationAbstract
This research aimed to identify reasons of borrowing words used by graduate students of Disaster Science Study Program in their seminar presentations, and there were three students as the participants. This is a qualitative research where the data were collected through interviews. The researcher applied a main theory for this analysis; the reasons of borrowing words proposed by Field (2002). The research findings showed that there were three reasons why the students used English borrowing words when they delivered presentations in Indonesian. Those reasons were the principle of saving and efficiency, the scarcity of original form of a word, and the prestige of foreign languages. In conclusion, this research showed that English borrowing words have become part of the standard Indonesian vocabulary so that speakers of Indonesian are definitely bound by the use of borrowing words.
