Research Setting Research Subject Instruments and Data Gathering Technique
40 Having got the data, the writer then analyzed the data. This part was the
most challenging part the writer dealt with. In analyzing the data, the writer made the theories as the bases. The texts were analyzed using the theories from
different linguists and experts. The theories were also contested and compared. After analyzing the data, the next step the writer conducted was
interpreting the findings and stating conclusion. The writer presented his interpretation and explanation in narrative form. While interpreting the findings,
the writer also stated some conclusions about what the writer had analyzed. This part came to whether or not the writer questions be best answered.
Having interpreted the findings, the writer then reported the result. Since the writer conducted a qualitative study, the data presented is in form of
expositional explanation.

RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter is divided into two sections. The first section presents the references and senses found in each utterance containing taboo words and swear
words in Carlin‟s monologue Seven Words You Can’t Say on Television to answer the research question number one. The references and senses found include six themes
i.e. profanity, sexual activity, bodily effluvia, intimated part of the body, ancestral allusion, and name of animal. The second section describes how the taboo words and
swear words are used in this monologue to answer the research question number two. This section employs Pinker‟s typology of swearing i.e. descriptively, idiomatically,
abusively, emphatically, and cathartically.
