Language is a basic tool in society. It is used to make communication. Language allows some people to say thing to each other and express their communicative needs. Language is the cement of the society, allowing people to live, working and playing together. Sometimes it is used to merely keep communication channels open so that if any need arises to say something of importance a suitable channel is avaiable.
The correlation between language and society is learned in sociolinguistics. Wardhaugh (2000:12) states that sociolinguistics concerns with investigating the relationship between language and society with the goal of being a better understanding of the structure of language and how language functions in communication. From the definition above, it can be inferred that language and society is so closely related.
In society, a lot of people use many kinds of variety in using language, Indonesian or Java language. Many language varieties which describe the changes in situation and factor. Each occupational group or social group has the difference. So, each group has differences in registers. For example in domino card games, especially in card games.
Card game is a game which is usually played by 2 until 4 people. In card game there are many kinds of the games, but the writer just study two kinds of this game, especially in writers village. There are domino card game and bridge card game. The domino has one game that is gaple game, then bridge also has one game that is poker game.
Game has a lot of fun, if every one look at and join the games, they will laugh and feel happy because for some players beside they play they also make some jokes. In addition, some players come from various level of community, such as entrepreneur, lecturer, teacher, journalist, etc. All of them feel enjoyable although they have to spend much time. In the games, there are many specific words of registers created. The writer makes some list of them. In gaple (domino) there are; pass, nyiang, point, poldan, etc. While in poker games (bridge) there are; full house, pair, two, ace, etc. Although there are many people who understand the meaning of the register, usually they do not know when or how the register is used, because of that the writer is interested in doing this research which is closely related to register in card game in the writer’s village.
Beside that, in his village in every year exactly on August 17th, some events of competition are held especially for gaple games. Sometimes poker game is used by some young men to spend the night in independence day celebration. This is a regular event held once a year.
Beside those games (Gaple and Poker), in poker as well as gaple, there are many terms unfamiliar for other people..
