Based on this consideration, the researcher wants to study about analysis on the jargon used by the comedians in the Pesbukers program on antv . The purposes of this study were: 1.) to find out the jargons used by the comedians, 2.) to analyze the words formation processes of the jargons.

The design of this study was descriptive qualitative because this study focused on understanding and interpreting the data through the stories and language rather than numbers. The accessible object of the study was the video of comedian used jargon found in Pesbukers . Furthermore, the instrument used documentation. To collect the data, the writer used a video recorder as a tool.

So, it can be concluded that the most dominant kind of the words formation process used in the Pesbukers program on antv was Blending. The comedians of this program often used jargon in their conversation to make the audience or viewers enjoy their show. Jargon was also used by the comedians in this program to show their identity and their creativity as the comedy entertainers who are different from others.

language that can be understood by others. Language is the source of human life and power. Language plays an important role in our lives. It helps us create our social words and labels the meaning we ascribe to people, things, and events.

Language used in communication must be different from others. One of the differences is the language varieties. The language varieties are created to make the language more interesting and unique. The appearance of language varieties is caused by the variety of linguistic styles used by the society. These various linguistic styles appear because there are so many speakers that use more

(12)

than one language in a large or even in a small band of society. One of those varieties is jargon.

According to Fromkin and Rodman (2003:475), Jargon is a set of words that is used in concievable science, profession, trade, and occupation . Usually people of the groups have specific language to differenciate from another and they use jargon. In other words, some groups use jargon to show their identity.

Jargon is even found in an entertainment form, especially in one of private TV stations in Indonesia, antv which has a program called Pesbukers . In this study, the writer wants to analyze the jargon with the words formation processes used in Pesbukers program on antv because the writer finds that the comedians in Pesbukers program often create a new jargon. With jargon, the comedians can show their identity and their creativity as the comedy entertainers who are different from others. Jargon created by the comedians in Pesbukers program often makes the viewers of the program interested in and immitate those words and copy them for fun.

Based on the phenomenon above, the writer is interested in analysing the jargon used in the program. Then, this analysis was entitled An Analysis on The Jargon Used by The Comedians in The Pesbukers Program on antv .

The writer would present some previous researches. The first previous research was done by Dewi (2011), entitled A Study on Jargon Used by Students and Alumni of University Muhammadiyah Malang in Facebook . In her result, she found that jargon is usually used in Facebook. She classified the jargon into

(13)

many types and found the meaning. For example, Alay (coinage) means Norak and Futu (borrowing) means Photo .

The second previous research was done by Sparkly (2008), entitled A Study on Jargon Used by Transsexual in Beauty Salon in Kediri . She concluded that there were many jargons used in the Beauty Salon in Kediri. Jargon was found in two kinds of language used by transsexual, namely: Indonesian and Javanese. Some jargons had more than one meaning, and some jargons were

created by transsexual in which they tended to give affix -✽✾ to the words and

some were borrowed from Indonesian and Javanese vocabulary. For example,

Baruna Baru (= new; from Indonesian), Linungginuh Lungguh (= Sit; from

Javanesse), and Apase Apa (=What; from Transsexual Language).

1.2 Statement of the Problems

Based on the background of study, the research problems are formulated as follows:

1. What are the jargons used by the comedians in the Pesbukers program on antv ?

2. How are the words formation processes of the jargons used by the comedians in the Pesbukers program on antv ?

1.3 Purposes of the Study

Based on the problems above, the purposes of the study are:

1. To find out the jargons used by the comedians in the Pesbukers program on antv .

(14)

2. To analyze the words formation processes of the jargons used by the comedians in the Pesbukers program on antv .

1.4 Significance of the Study

The writer hopes that the result of this analysis can give contribution to students who study the sociolinguistic analysis especially on jargon. For the students, this analysis may increase their knowledge about jargon. They can see and learn more about jargon from another perspective of culture. Furthermore, the writer hopes that the readers will get the benefit from the result of this study.

The study hopefully can be used as a reference for the sociolinguistic teachers who want to distribute the knowledge to their students about jargon from another culture. It may also help further researchers who want to develop and continue another analysis of the same or related topic of this study.

1.5 Scope and Limitation

The scope of this study is jargon. Meanwhile, the limitation of this study is the words formation processes of the jargon used in the Pesbukers program on

antv that was taken from June 1stto June 30th, 2013.

1.6 Definition of the Key Terms

Some definitions of the key terms are presented to avoid misunderstanding in interpreting this study:
