| Summary: | This research aims to analyse the sociolinguistic factors that affect the language use in the movie, Sepet. The objective of this research is to investigate the sociolinguistic elements found in the language use of Sepet and to explore how linguistic factors reflect the cultural diversity of Malaysia. The implication of this research is to emphasise the importance of environment, culture and language in shaping the language use in a multicultural society. The findings show that environment, culture and language plays an inevitable role in language use because of the multicultural diversity in Malaysia. Findings proved that these sociolinguistic factors contribute to the dynamic linguistic that is being observed in Sepet in which the movie characters code-switch and code-mix languages persistently and that the ability to code-switch and code-mix highlights the inclusivity of Malaysian culture that emphasise on the importance of linguistic diversity in Malaysian context.
