Kudus. Pembimbing: (i) Agung Dwi Nurcahyo, SS, M.Pd., (ii)
Mutohhar, S.Pd, M.Pd.
Kata kunci: slang, makna slang sesuai konteks.
Bahasa mempunyai peranan penting dalam kehidupan manusia sebagai
alat komunikasi. Manusia mempunyai cara yang berbeda-beda untuk
mengekspresikan ide mereka dengan orang laing dalam situasi yang formal atau
resmi maupun informal atau tidak resmi. Sebagai alternatif untuk berkomunikasi
dengan orang lain dalam situasi yang informal, kebanyakan orang di negara yang
menggunakan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa nasional cenderung lebih suka untuk
menggunakan bahasa slang. Slang adalah salah satu variasi bahasa. Slang pada
mulanya digunakan sebagai bahasa sehari-hari oleh para remaja yang cenderung
lebih suka menggunakan bahasa Inggris yang mudah dicerna dan simpel serta
digabungkan dengan kata-kata slang atau bahasa prokem atau gaul. Mereka
meggunakan slang sebagai identitas kelompok. Slang juga sering muncul dalam
berbagai situasi yang informal seperti dalam naskah film, drama,dll.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah (1) tipe-tipe slang yang ditemukan
didalam naskah film ”Twilight Saga Eclipse” karya Melissa Rosenberg dan (2)
mencari makna slang sesuai konteks dalam naskah film ”Twilight Saga Eclipse”
karya Melissa Rosenberg.
Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kualitatif. Sumber data dalam
penelitian ini adalah naskah film ”Twilight Saga Eclipse” karya Melissa
Rosenberg sedangkan datanya adalah slang.
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, penulis menemukan dan mengidentifikasi (1)
ada 31 kata atau frasa yang termasuk dalam kategori slang yang terdapat dalam
naskah film ”Twilight Saga Eclipse” karya Melissa Rosenberg dan terbagi
menjadi 2 tipe yakni slang yang termasuk percakapan sehari-hari dan slang yang
termasuk bahasa atau ejaan sehari-hari. Ada 21 slang yang termasuk percakapan
sehari-hari dan 10 slang yang termasuk bahasa atay ejaan sehari-hari. (2) Makna
slang sesuai dengan konteks dapat ditemukan dalam konteks kalimat dan
tergantung pada konteks dan situasi. Dan makna kontekstual adalah hubungan
antara percakapan dan situasi di mana percakapan itu dipakai. Makna slang dalam
tipe percakapan sehari-hari dapat diperoleh sesuai dengan konteks kalimat. Makna
slang dalam tipe bahasa atau ejaan sehari-hari masih dapat dijumpai dalam kamus.
Berdasarkan penelitian ini, penulis menyarankan bahwa mahasiswa
Program Studi Pendidikan bahasa Inggris seharusnya mempelajari slang melalui
naskah film karena didalamnya terdapat banyak kata atau frasa yang termasuk
slang. Dan para dosen seharusnya mengajar slang dengan jelas dan mudah
dipahami oleh mahasiswa agar dapat memperkaya kosakata mereka dan
keterampilan penguasaan bahasa Inggris.
