F. Data Trustworthiness
Moleong 2001:173-175 states that trustworthiness can be achieved by using four criteria. They are credibility, transferability, dependability and
conformability. In this research, the researcher only used credibility and conformability to triangulate the data. Credibility is a concept which measure
the extent of findings accurately. Thus, the researcher observed the data thoroughly in order to organize them as being credible. Moreover,
conformability is used to demonstrate the neutrality of the research interpretations. Conformability aims to measure how far the findings and the
interpretations of the data, hence the research can be used by other researchers to extent their knowledge. Therefore, the researcher provided all
data to get the degree of conformability. In order to get trustworthiness, the researcher did the triangulation to test
the data and the data analysis. According to Moleong 2001:330, there are four types of triangulation on the research, they are by theories, by
researcher, by method, by researcher, and by source. However, in this research, the researcher only used two types of triangulation: by theory, and
by researcher. Triangulation by theory was conducted by employing various theories of
bad language, for instance theory of swearing and the use of their types and their functions in order to analyze the data. Meanwhile, triangulation by
researcher was conducted by consulting the research analysis to thesis consultants, i.e. Drs. Suhaini M.Saleh, M.A. and Rachmat Nurcahyo, M.A. In
addition, the researcher demanded three partners from English Language and Literature students majoring in linguistics as reviewers of the data.

CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
In this chapter, there are two sections which describe findings and discussions. Findings section describes the result of analysis related to the problems which are
mentioned in chapter I including the types of swearing and the reasons for swearing. The second section describes the discussions of the research which present the explanation of
the data result which have been analyzed followed by the example.
A. Findings
This section describes the findings of the research on swearing uttered by Vincent Vega and Butch Coolidge in Pulp Fiction. According to the analysis process,
the total data collected in the research are sixty three data and they are displayed in Table 2. The table shows the data which have been classified into the types of
