1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
1.1Background of the Topic
Language is very important in our lives. Every day, people use language to communicate with each other. As Keraf states (1997:1) Bahasa adalah alat komunikasi antara anggota masyarakat berupa simbol bunyi yang dihasilkan oleh alat ucap manusia. There are many different languages that can be learned like styles, slang, colloquial, jargon, argot, and register. However, in this report the writer will only discuss about slang.
According to Hartman and Stork in Alwasilah Slang is a variety of speech characterized by newly coined and rapidly changing vocabulary, used by the young or by social and proffesional groups for ‘in group‘communication and thus tending to prevent understanding by the rest of the speech community ( 1990:57).
Slang can be found in movies or even songs, even many who use a lot of slang to communicate daily. Usually the slang used by teenagers, and not used to communicate with parents or people who should be respected. At the time of job training yesterday, the writer found a lot of slang words in the novel which the writer has translated.
This report will give the explanation about the meaning of each word, and how the formation of the slang word, and how to apply the slang words in a

CHAPTER III
THE DESCRIPTION OF THE TOPIC
3.1 Slang Words in Novel A Gentle Feuding
A Gentle Feuding is a Novel by Johanna Lindsey. The writer found some slang words in this novel when the writer translates it. Slang words can appear in the form of written or oral as well. It usually appears in a novel, song, and daily conversation between the teenagers. Slang is one of language diversity of so many different languages. Slang words are more frequently used by teenagers. As Willis states in Alwasilah that for the most part, slang is the result of linguistic inventiveness, especially of young and lively persons who want fresh, original pungent, or racy terms with which they can rename ideas, actions, and objects that they feel strongly about. In effect slang is the result of combination of linguistic irreverence and a reaction against staid, stuffy, pompous, pretentious, or colorless diction (Willis 1964:195).
According to the statement above, it shows that slang words is mostly used by young people, and slang words cannot be used to communicate formally like to talk to parents. In this report the writer will discuss the meaning of each slang word that is found in the novel A gentle feuding, how the process of the formation of slang words, and how the application of the words in a sentence.

The word "Dinna" formed from the past tense of word "do" and "not", and the meaning of the word "Dinna" is "tidak" or "bukan" depending on its context sentence itself. Below is the application of slang words in a sentence.
I dinna mean to hurt you, cousin, but your persistence makes me want to
scream.”
Data II: Canna
When we look for the meaning of the word "canna" in the common dictionary may be difficult to know the meaning. To know what the meaning of this word the writer will parse this word.
Canna can + not = tidak dapat
Based on slang dictionary, the word "canna" is formed from the word "can" and "not", which means "tidak dapat". Below is the application of slang words canna in a sentence.

Data III: Wouldna
Wouldna, from the form of the word, it does not seem normal, and difficult to understand the meaning of this word. To know what the meaning of this word the writer will parse this word based on the dictionary.
Wouldna would + not = tidak akan
After parsing, it is known that the word "wouldna" constructed of two words, that is the word "would" and "not" if combined would be "would not" means "tidak akan". The application of the sentence is as follows:
“He wouldna have me,” she said in a desperate whisper, shaking her head.
Data IV: Doesna
We will never be able to find the meaning of the word "doesna" in common dictionary. Therefore, the writer will try to parse this word first and then find its meaning.
(16)
10
The word "doesna" is composed of two words, namely "does" and not ". If these two words combined will be "does not" which means "tidak". Below is the application of
the word “doesna” in a sentence.
“That doesna change the facts, Sheena. He’s raided five times in the last three
months since he broke the truce.
Data V: Wasna
It does not seem normal, and difficult to understand the meaning of this word. To know what the meaning of this word the writer will parse this word based on the dictionary.
Wasna was + not = tidak/bukan
Wasna, consists of two words that is, "was" and "not". The meaning of this word is "tidak". Below is an example of the application of the sentence.
“I wasna to tell anyone!” he burst out, his light blue eyes aglow.
Data VI: Hasna
To know the meaning of the slang word "Hasna", the writer will try to parse this word first.
(17)
11

“I . . . I mean he hasna seen you yet, so he canna know if he would want you or
no”.
3.3 The Discussion
Based on the analysis above, it can be seen that happened the same formation process on each data. Every slang word in the data above is made up of two morphemes, composed of the auxiliary verb or “be” and added by the adverb "not" to form the negative. Auxiliary verb which the writer found in some data analysis is the principal auxiliary and modal auxiliary. Principal auxiliary consists of; to be, to have, and to do, while the modal auxiliary consists of can or could, may or might, must or had to, ought, shall or should and will or would.As in the data I, it can be seen that the slang word dinna consist of two morphemes, the word did and na (not). Not only on the data I, the same process also occurred in all the data.
On the meaning process of each data the author used the theory of Larson. According to Larson, in translation the form of the source language is replaced by the form of the receptor (target) language. (Larson 1984:3). To clarify the formation and
(18)
12
meaning of the slang words used as materials analysis, the writer makes a table as below.

We can find the meaning and apply it in a sentence using a simple analysis as the writer did above, and most of the slang words that the writer found in the novel A Gentle Feuding formed from two morphemes.
Slang words can be used only in an informal situation, it that cannot be used to communicate to parents or people who should be respected. Below is the example of slang word used in a sentence:
He doesna know you’re the one he wants, Sheena,” Niall tried to reassure her.
4.2 Suggestion

One easy way to know the meaning, the process of formation, and its application in a sentence is to do a simple analysis as the writer did on every data that the writer found in the novel A Gentle Feuding.
