4. Data Analysis
The analyses in this research are done by several processes. The first process is the researcher classifies
the samples using Nida‟s theory of equivalence, and discusses further why the sample is categorized as dynamic and
formal equivalence by relating the swear words with the context and the situations in the movie. The use of the
Oxford Advanced
Learner’s
Dictionary
and
The Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language
2007 KBBI are applied in this process. The second process is the researcher analyzes the swear words which the
equivalences are classified. In this part, the researcher discusses the purposes of using swear words by analyzing the samples which taken from the subtitles of the
movie by using Anderrson and Trudgill‟s swear word categories and Liedlich‟s
purposes of verbal obscenity. The researcher concludes that there are five purposes of swear words in the samples, which are, anger, insult, dissatisfaction,
mockery and surprise. The third process is the researcher discusses one by one the 25 samples related to their contexts in the movie to find out why the sample is
categorized into certain purposes. The use of dictionaries is also applied in this process. The final step is to determine the percentage of each purpose to gain the
results by calculating the samples using formula [P = NPN x 100]. In which, P is the percentage of swear word purpose, NP is number of purpose, and
N is number of the whole sample. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
