The problem of this research was the students have not been able to plan in career choice. The aims of this study was to find out the correlation between the self concept and students plan in career choice. The method used was the correlational method. The sample in this research was 85 students which obtained by simple random sampling technique . The data were analyzed using correlation product moment. The results of this research was showed of the value of r hitung = 0,527 > r tabel = 0,213, so Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted. The meaning is be found correlation between the self concept and students plan in career choice. The results of calculating was showed positive correlation, which the meaning is more positive self concept of the students, so also more good plan in career choice. The conclusion of this research was be found correlation and significant between the self concept and students plan in career choice of the second grade students in SMA Negeri 3 Bandar Lampung in academic year 2016/2017.

However, the distributional properties of natural languages, which guarantee that lexical knowledge continuously increases across the lifespan, suggest these changes might simply reflect the broadening and diversification of individual vocabularies, not the loss of dialect itself. Consistent with this proposal, speech analyses from 20 speakers of the southwestern German dialect Swabian, recorded in 1982 and again in 2017, reveal that across their lifetimes, rather than suffer a loss of dialect, these speakers gained a vast amount of non-dialectal vocabulary, a pattern of change promoted or constrained by local orientation and personal identity.

[implies] that variables are correlated; if they are not, the cognitive and social reality of the ‘sociolect’ is problematic.” Considerable linguistic research has established that, for structural reasons, variables are correlated; however, structural correlation does not imply sociolectal coherence. Thus the question arises: do multiple variables cluster or correlate, loosely, tightly, or not at all, based on social factors, such as age, gender, community belonging, salience, prestige/stigma, or other external factors (Guy and Hinskens 2016)? This paper explores the unresolved question of cognitive sociolectal coherence by investigating a panel of 20 speakers of Swabian, a dialect spoken in southwestern Germany, across a 35-year lifespan. The corpus consists of Labovian-style sociolinguistic interviews, and the data comprise 20 phonological and morphosyntactic linguistic features, coded for a binary dis...

However, the distributional properties of natural languages, which guarantee that lexical knowledge continuously increases across the lifespan, suggest these changes might simply reflect the broadening and diversification of individual vocabularies, not the loss of dialect itself. Consistent with this proposal, speech analyses from 20 speakers of the southwestern German dialect Swabian, recorded in 1982 and again in 2017, reveal that across their lifetimes, these speakers did not suffer a significant loss of dialect, but rather gained a vast amount of non-dialectal vocabulary, a pattern of change that was promoted or constrained by local orientation and personal identity. The analyses show that dialect words were actually used with similar frequencies across the two recording periods, indicating that speakers’ dialectal knowledge remains largely intact, while in the later recordings low-frequency words from the standard language were used at increased rates, reflecting gains in non-dialectal vocabulary across the lifespan. These results suggest an alternative account of the changes in individual speech patterns in which the changes observed in lexical choice across the lifespan primarily reflect the increased influence of later acquired, usually non-dialect, lexical knowledge, and not necessarily the “loss” of dialect itself.
