Language that serves as a tool for communicating and expressing ideas and
feelings is well-known among members of the community, even with the language as well as allowing people to express it in more creative and able
to adapt based on the usage of context/situation. Indirectly, language users
are smart in manipulating the vocabulary/lexical for one particular purpose
based on specific situations. The creativity arises because of the speakers
and those who are opposed to speaking in social groups are differ in their
social status. The difference in social status causes the differences in
language usage between one group and another. This difference has
somehow caused some language problems among the Malay community as
well as other societies especially in the word call/greetings. This study aims
to identify and describe anthropomorphism by taking the data from Malay
films with thematic social issues. A total of eight films were used as data in
this study by applying the “Who Speaks What Language to Who and When?”,
the theoretical framework by Fishman (1965). The findings show that
speakers use variety of anthropomorphism words as call/greeting for
certain purposes with specific intentions and at specific places.
