INTRODUCTION
Language is the human capacity for acquiring and using complex systems of communication, and a language is any specific example of such a system.The scientific study of language is called linguistics.The system of language can be compared with another system.It means that the language is just not the words that we would like to talk, speak, communicate and information but language has a variety of meaning.So, that is why, language has the wide capacity in the world; moreover, it is the second language (Meyer, 2009:3).Because language is a system of communication, it is useful to compare it with other systems of communication.For instance, human communicates not just through language but through means such as gesture, art dress, and music.
Language has origin language or natural language which comes from a human that has been staying in a different culture.It can grow and get progress with the running of time.It produces the character of language style when communication happens among them.So that it is called natural language.According to Coulmas (1998:12), natural language has two implications: on the one hand, that one is not working with "unnatural" made-up sentences of the grammar book.On the other hand, that one is bound to try to overcome Labov's "observer's paradox" as much as possible.
Language that we use daily is in our daily life is various.The fact for the researcher, evidently that variety causes appear of obstructions in efforts to show that every language has a homogenous identity, that there is a possibility to write a complete grammar for language to benefit categorical rules, that is determined by rules what is possible and impossible in language (Ibrahim, 2009:5).The identity in language is the character that everybody has a different culture.It marks that language describes people where they stay.Language variation which happens to men and women especially adolescence is a different character which has determined the structure to deliver language as common communication and this happens not only for the voice as the sound of language but also body language does.It is the base instinct that gets difficult to translate or understand it.According to (Hymes, 1996:26) The generic potentially of the human faculty for language is realized differently, as to directional and as to the degree in different communities.

Language Variation
In some ways, it is surprising that language variation develops as the progress of modern era.People passed down through the generation reliably enough for parents and children to communicate each other.
There are many languages bring about the variation when it is used for communication as they have been staying in their environment.They use it for communication of social, political and economic.All languages exhibit internal variation that is each language is in one sense the sum of those varieties (Wardhaugh, 2006:25).The vocabulary and phrases people use depend on where they live, their age, education level, social status and other factors.Through interactions, they pick up new words and sayings and integrate them into speech.Teens and young adults for example, often use different words and phrases from their parents.Some of them spread through the population and slowly change the language.
Some aspects of language variation happen over time: vocabulary, sentence structure, and pronunciations.Vocabulary can change as the variation of words quickly borrowed from other languages, or as words get combined or shortened.Some words are even created by mistake.While vocabulary can change quickly, sentence structure the order of words in a sentence changes more slowly.Variation of pronunciations happens to sound.The vowel of the sound is modified by the speakers that arise in the character and style of language.Systematic change, as term suggest, affect an entire system or subsystem of the language.The change may be conditioned or unconditioned.According to (Wardhaugh, 2006:135) Languages vary in many ways.One way of characterizing certain variation is to say that speakers of a particular language sometimes speak different dialects of that language.

Slang
Language, like other forms of social activity, has to be appropriate to the speakers using it.This is why, in many communities, men and women's speech is different.
Most of Lamongan slang is created and used by males.It can find that the gender difference in use and tolerance of slang was leveling out in contemporary society and that the stereotype of males being the primary slang users was open to question.Many types of slang words including the taboo and strongly derogatory ones, those referring to sex, women, work, money, whiskey, politics, transportation, sports, and the like refer primarily to male endeavor and interest.
The majority of entries in all slang dictionaries could be labeled "primarily masculine use".Moreover, men belong to more subgroups than do women; men create and use occupational and jargon, in business, men have acquaintances that belong to many different sub-groups.Women, on the other hand, still tend to be restricted to family and neighborhood friends.Women have very little of their own slang, the new words applied to women's clothing, hairstyles, homes, kitchen utensils and gadgets are usually created by men.Except when she accompanies her boyfriend or husband to his recreation (football, hunting, etc.), a woman seldom mingles with other groups.When women do mingle outside of their own neighborhood and family circles, they do not often talk of the outside world of business, politics, or other fields of general interest where new feminine names for objects, concepts, and viewpoints could evolve.Women, who do work usually replace men at men's jobs, are less involved in business life than men and have a shorter business career (often only an interim between school and marriage).
Slang may be characterized as a very informal language variety that includes news and sometimes not polite words and meanings.It is often used among particular groups of people, for examples, groups of teenagers or professional groups, and is usually not used in serious speech or writing.

According
to Boldashina (2005:21), Communication is the transmission and reception of information.It means that the elements necessary communication to take place as being: a sender, a receiver, something to transmit or communicate about, communicative intend and a medium of transmission.
the Language of communication implicates the people as the sender and receiver to interact in society to get the response from another one.People contact and share in different dialects and accents but it has the same function as language.They have the system to speak with using their character as of where they come from.

Adolescence Age
Adolescence is a time of rapid physical change along with sometimes striking alterations in mood and behavior.Adolescence is sometimes thought of as a unique phase of human development, developing organism of all mammalian species go through similar transition from dependence into independence.Indeed, human adolescences and their counterpart in other species share numerous similarities in hormonal changes, behavioral characteristics and brain transformation.(Spear, 2000).Change happens in running of time when physically body grows up from childhood to be adult.It affects the behavior and thought through the transition of the brain.Behavioral characteristics are described from environment around.Even the language that they speak is modern and new.Although it is informal language.The period of adolescence is a long transition when men and women's speech do interaction one another.He/she wants to explore something new which never sees before.At about ten years old men and women's speech begin the long trek through adolescence.With its jagged and under fined path, the fascinating journey can be demanding and disorienting, invigorating and exciting.It marks the beginning of a quest for identity and the way to find meaning and a place in the world (UNICEF, 2002:1).
