ABSTRACT
This research entitled “Language features used by female students’ vlogger in describing their daily life” aims to investigate women’s language features, the frequency of the features, and the possible reasons of using the features. The research method was descriptive qualitative method. The main theory of Robin Lakoff (1975) was used to analyse the data. The source of data is the three vlog made by three Indonesian vloggers they were Nayla.J, Skannete and Mari Bokki. The findings reveal that there were 32 utterances that fall in Lakoff categories where 7 utterances found in intensifiers, 6 utterances found in empty adjectives and 5 utterances found in fillers. The vloggers used intensifiers to persuade the addressee, whereas empty adjectives used because woman tends to be expressive while speaking and the next one is fillers because they want to keep the conversation going. Whereas the super polite and avoidance of strong swear words are not found because they assumed that the viewers are around their age therefore they keep the conversation as casual as possible.
