CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents the findings and discussion of the study. In this chapter, the researcher provides some analysis and discussion to answer two
research problems of the study. There will be two major parts in this chapter. The first part is the research results and the second part is the research discussion.
4.1 Research Results
This section showed the findings that I obtained from the data gathering which was conducted previously. Based on the research questions, there were two
major findings; the types of swearing and the motives of swearing. Those findings were limited only on the conversation which contained the swearing expression of
Jack, the main character of “Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel”. The other swearing expressions of the other characters will not be analyzed. As the main character,
Jack had important roles from the beginning until the end of the story. I found that Jack was always having conversation in every major event on the game.
Furthermore, he mostly used swearing expressions in his conversation with the other characters. Overall, there were 134 swearing expressions which were uttered
by Jack throughout the story of the game
4.1.1 The Types of Swearing
I found that Jack was the only character who mostly expressed his feeling by using swearing utterances in the game “Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel”.
