53 In this dialogue, Ruly had already taken a medicine for Keara. Ruly asks
Keara whether she feels better or not. Then Keara answered that usually it will be better soon. However, while Keara rests on Ruly‟s shoulder, she hears a tune of
music which she does not like at all. Then she talks to Ruly about it and calls this kind of situation like a very unpleasant episode of The Love Boat movie.
However, she does not just mention it as an unpleasant episode, but a crappy episode. Here, the swearing word „crap‟ is uttered to emphasize what she is
talking about. From the discussion of this chapter, it can be concluded that the auxiliary
type is the most common type that appears in the Antologi Rasa novel. It shows that the main character often uses swear words when she wants to emphasize
something that she is talking about. While the most common motives used by the main character in the novel is psychological motives because while she is
swearing, it is always influenced by her feelings such anger, frustration, shock, and surprise.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter contains two parts. The first part is conclusions and the second part is recommendation. In conclusions part, the summary of the research
findings are presented as representative as possible. The recommendation part suggests the further action which can be taken considering the finding of the
research.
A. Conclusions
Related to the research question that have been formulated in Chapter I, the findings and discussions in Chapter IV, and the sociolinguistic approach
employed in this study, some conclusions can be drawn as follows:
1. Types of Swearing
There are some different types of swearing which are employed in the way the main character swears in the Antologi Rasa novel. The types of swearing
which are found in the novel can be classified into four. They are Expletive Swearing ES, Abusive Swearing ABS, Humorous Swearing HS, and
Auxiliary Swearing AUS. From the findings of the types of swearing, it can be revealed that auxiliary swearing is the preferred type of swearing employed by
Keara as the main character of the novel Antologi Rasa novel because the swearing expressions she utters are usually complementary and are used to
intensify the things she intended. Besides, those swearing expressions are in the
55 form of her way of speaking, although the functions of those swearing expressions
may vary.
2. Motives for Swearing
Based on the findings given in Chapter IV, the reasons for swearing which are uttered by the main character of the Antologi Rasa novel in certain part to
swear exist as the parameter to analyze and measure the motives behind the swearing expressions. Those motives are classified into three groups. The first one
is Psychological Motive PM, the second one is Social Motive SM, and the last one is Linguistic Motive LM. From the findings given in Chapter IV, it can be
seen that the psychological motive PM is the most influential motives for the main character to swear. It means that all the swearing words which are uttered by
Keara as the main character of the Antologi Rasa novel are mostly influenced by her feeling and something to express her emotion such as joy, sorrow, shocked
and other feelings related to psychological aspect. Moreover, swearing expressions have become a daily conversation which
are used by Keara in the novel. It becomes her way of speaking whether when she has a conversation with her friends other characters in the novel or even when
the swearing words are not directed to others. However, she does not swear all the time in, though. The motives of the way she is swearing cannot be separated from
the social context. Surely, she does not use any swearing words to anybody. She is still using a good language while she is with her mother and her boss, for instance.
She uses swearing words only to whom she has close relation such as Dinda and Haris. She does not use any swearing words in front of Panji and Ruly, even
56 though those two men still swear. One of the important things in swearing is that
the swearing expression can be employed either constructive or destructive. On the one hand, almost all the swearing words which are directed to other characters
in the Antologi Rasa novel are used to show intimacy and solidarity, and to amuse others. These can be regarded as constructive. On the other hand, the swearing
expression which are destructive cannot be found in the novel.
B. Recommendations
The researcher of this study acknowledges that this thesis is still incomplete. Therefore, there are some recommendations proposed by the write.
First, this research aims to initiate a discussion about swear words among the scholars. Therefore, it is expected that the discussion about swear words does
not only stop at judging them as something which should be avoided. The scholars are expected to be more critical to the occurrence of swear words in various
circumstances and learn them in different perspectives. Second, students who learn linguistics are expected to understand that the
analysis on linguistics does not only analyze about linguistics features, but also about linguistics aspects deeper. Therefore, this study can be one of the references
while linguistics students want to investigate deeper on linguistics, especially some references about swearing words.
Third, for the other researchers, this research only focuses on analyzing the use of swear words which are used by the main character of the Antologi Rasa
novel. There are actually some characters in the novel, but the researcher of this study regarded that it is not necessary to investigate the use of swear words which
