2. Documents
The first instrument used by the researcher was document. In this research, the document was a novel written by Ika Natassa entitled Antologi Rasa. The
34 novel was used to take some swear words existing in the novel. Meanwhile, the
researcher also used other documents to answer the research questions. Those documents were some books borrowed from the library.
Besides, in order to ease the data gathering, the researcher then formulated the categories which were relevant to the investigation by coding. Fraenkel and
Wallen 2006, p. 436 state that coding is a technique that is used in content analysis method. Coding is the analytic process through which data are fractured,
conceptualized, and integrated to form theory. The table of the coding table can be seen in Table 3.1, which presents two objectives that became the main focus of
the study, the types and of swearing and the motives for swearing. The format of the coding table shows how the researcher answered the first and the second
research problems of the study.

utterances which were used by the main character in the conversation with her friends or with herself monologue.
In order to answer the two research questions, the researcher found some theories which were related to the topics discussed and then matched each
classification of the utterances of swear words to those theories. After that, the
