ABSTRACT

The research entitled The Analysis of Jargon Formation in Online Trading: A Case Study of Jargon Formation in Forum Jual Beli Kaskus is aimed to reveal jargon formation in FJB Kaskus postings and investigate context of situation underlying the use of jargons. This research used some theories for the theoretical framework. To analyze the formation of jargons, the theories used are

from Bauer’s (1983), Yule’s (1996), O'Grady & Guzman’s (1996), and Stageberg (2000), while Hyme’s (1974) theory are used to analyze the context of situation. The result shows that there are 51 jargons with the total of 365 occurrences that can be divided into 10 types of jargon formation, they are: 18 abbreviation (121 occurrences), 9 clipping (84 occurrences), 6 clipped compounds (35 occurrences), 6 borrowing (73 occurrences), 1 coinage (1 occurrences), 4 derivation (27 occurrences), 4 reduplication (16 occurrences), and 3 antonomasia (8 occurrences). Those jargons are used in various situations depending on the context. Most of them are used in greeting, offering, and in giving notice with various tone in formal and informal register.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents a general description of the paper. It covers: background, the reasons for choosing the topic, the scope of research, research questions, aims of the research, method of analysis, and organization of the paper.

1.1.Background

Research on word formation has shown that it is very common for a language to coin vocabularies from other language. Coining happens especially when a language does not have its own words to convey, or to express something (Suandi, 2008; Arua & Alimi, 2009). Moreover, previous researches reveal that it is possible to categorize or divide various types of process from one formation (Soetopo, 2000; Ermanto, 2006; Fabrijanic, 2013). For example, reduplication can have fifteen different patterns that can be divided into three categories (Ermanto, 2006). Another result shows that it is posible for a language to have a certain criteria of formation which differenciate one language to another (Omachonu & Abraham, 2012). There are other prespectives from other fields. From the perspective of semantic study, one word could have different meanings (Karisman, 2012; Arua & Alimi, 2009). For example, grammatical meaning, lexical meaning, and term meaning (Karisman, 2012).

Research on jargons found, also investigating about how jargons are formed. Jargon provides the members of a social community with the words they need in order to communicate with each other. Jargon that exists in a social community is usually about the subject matter related to their field (Katamba, 1994). The briefness and the simplicity of practical formations of jargons become common. Jargon simplifies the words so that the meaning could be easily transferred and the choosing of the formation can be adjusted with the user needs (Suandi, 2008; Fabrijanic, 2013).

New forms of jargons are created from the habit of some society or groups. The habit of some society or groups who creates new forms of jargons can possibly be traced back to the older time when our ancestors still exist (Suratminto, 2010). Previous research on jargon was done by Sulaeman (2012) on

‘Bahasa Gaul’ created by Deby Sahertian. The research reveals that an artificial

language will be hard to be accepted if it does not have steady rules or systematic rules. This slang language or artificial language could be said as an exclusive language since the pattern of the formation process could only apply to certain words, not all words (Sulaeman, 2012).

Many other researches which are investigating jargons have been done, but the objects are often times taken from daily language which is spoken in actual world (non-virtual). On virtual world, some of the research on jargon found are focused on identifying types of word formation and the semantic meanings. One of the examples of the research is about Kaskus jargons. The research proved that language used in Kaskus can be said as jargons, since the usage only appear in Kaskus and the outsiders do not understand the jargons (Amelinda, 2013). There is also a research that investigates the jargons in buying and selling activities in Kaskus. It focuses on analyzing the semantic meanings and also word formation. The research results that jargons with denotation meanings show fewer results than connotation meanings (Setiawan, 2011).

This study examines the formation of jargon in Forum Jual Beli Kaskus (henceforth FJB), the biggest online trading forum in Indonesia. This research investigates the jargon formation in FJB Kaskus. However, unlike the previous researches on Kaskus jargons, this study also focuses on the context situation underlying the usage of the jargons.

1.2.Research Questions

This research will investigate the following questions:

2. _{What is the most common type of jargon formation processes found in} Kaskus FJB forum?

3. _{What is the context of situation underlying the use of the jargons?}

1.3. Aims of Study

This research aims to:

1. _{Identify types of jargon formation processes in Kaskus FJB forum.} 2. _{Identify the most common type of jargon formation processes in}

Kaskus FJB forum.

3. _{Identify the context of situation underlying the use of jargons.}

1.4. Scope of the Study

This study observes jargon formation processes in an online trading forum, FJB. This research focuses on the analysis of the formation of jargons found in Kaskus FJB Forum, using the theory of word formation process and context of situation.

1.5. Significance of the Study

This research can be the beginning of a further research in word formation, especially, jargon formation in online trading or a more specific research on online communication. The researcher hopes that this research can offer a new sight for those who are interested and willing to do a research in the area of morphology especially on word formation in a computer mediated communication.

1.6. Research Methodology

This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method. Flick (2009) said that qualitative research is mainly concerned with the production and analysis of texts, such as transcripts of interviews

or field notes and other analytic materials. The data used in this research is in the form of online threads or postings from Kaskus FJB Forum. There are several steps of data analysis on this research. Further details will be elaborated in chapter 3.

1.7. Clarification of Key Terms

In order to avoid misunderstanding, some following terms need to be described:

 Jargon provides members of a social sub-group with the lexical items they need in order to talk about the subject matter that their field deals with (Katamba, 1994).

 Word formation is the study of how new complex words are built on the basis of other words or morphemes (Plag, 2002).

 Abbreviation is a word which is formed by a series of initial letters (Bauer, 1983).

 Clipping is a process where a word (simple or complex) is shortened but still has the same meaning (Bauer, 1983).

 Clipped compounds are the compounding made by clippings in which both halves of a compound are clipped (Bauer, 1983).

 Borrowing is taking over of words from other languages (Yule, 1996).

 Coinage is the invention of totally new terms. (Yule, 1996)

 Derivation is the most common wordformation process found in the production of new English words (Yule, 1996). It deals with affixes which will be explain below:

o Prefixes is a kind of affixes that have to be added to the beginning of the word (e.g. un-, mis-)

 Reduplication is the process of word formation which duplicates all part of the base to which it applies to mark grammatical or semantic contrast (O'Grady & Guzman, 1996). There are full reduplication and partial reduplication.

 Antonomasia is a formation of a common noun, a verb, or an adjective from the name of a person or a place (Stageberg, 2000)

 Context situation is a way of understanding how language functions in context. It is said to be crucial to understand and interpret the meaning of what is being said (Paltridge, 2006). According to Hymes (1972), in the context of situation, there is speech event which consists of eight components that should be fulfilled in order to reach a perfect speech event:

 Setting and scene is related to a place or a time in which the speech occurs.

 Participants are all parties involved in the speech event. They could be the speaker, listener, etc.

 Ends refer to the intention or the purpose of the speech event.

 Act sequence refers to the shape of the speech and the content of the speech.

 Key refers to the tone, the way speech is delivered and the passion where the message is delivered.

 Instrumentalitites refer to the media in which language is used. For example, whether it is written or spoken.

 Norms of interaction refers to the norms or the rules in the interaction.

 Genre refers to the way the speech is delivered, for example, whether the speech is delivered in the form of narrative, in the form of poem, prayer, etc.

 Online trading is an activity of buying and selling securities via the Internet or broker-provided proprietary software that works through the Internet (Business Glossary - Online Trading, 2013).

 Kaskus is the biggest discussion and online trading forum in Indonesia. Kaskus was made in November 6th 1999 by three young men from Indonesia who continued their study in Seattle, US. (About - Sejarah Kaskus, 2013)

 FJB Forum is an acronym from Forum Jual Beli. It is one of Kaskus forums where people can do online transaction. FJB forum is a place where people can sell and buy stuffs.

 Kamus Besar Bahasa Kaskus or Kaskus Dictionary is a dictionary of Kaskus jargons and terms available in Kaskus website.

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter discusses the methodology of the present study. It presents the formulation of problems, method of data collection, method of data analysis, and the procedures of the analysis.

3.1 Formulation of Problems

1. What types of jargon formation processes found in Kaskus FJB forum?

2. What is the most common type of jargon formation processes found in

Kaskus FJB forum?

3. What is the context of situation underlying the use of the jargons?

3.2 Research Method

This research was conducted by using a descriptive qualitative method, and to some extent, simple formula was used to find out the frequencies of the occurrences of jargons. According to Flick (2009), qualitative research is mainly concerned with the production and analysis of texts, such as transcripts of interviews or field notes and other analytic materials. The data used in this research is in the form of online threads or postings from Kaskus FJB Forum. There are several steps of data analysis in this research.

3.3 Data Collection

The data of this study were taken from one of Indonesian websites, Kaskus. Kaskus was created in Novermber 6th 1999 by three young men from Indonesia. Kaskus is claimed to be the biggest discussion and trading forum in Indonesia. Kaskus has two major forums and one of them is FJB Forum, the data in this research are taken from FJB Forum. FJB Forum is the forum where Kaskuser (Kaskus User) can sell or buy things, products or services via online by

posting a thread to promote their product. The data used in this research is in the form of online threads or postings from Kaskus FJB Forum. There are 35 postings in FJB Kaskus chosen to be the data. The time length is 8 October 2013 until 16 October 2013. Then after transcribing the data, the researcher sought for jargons that appear in FJB Forum by using the steps that will be elaborated below.

After the chosen postings were collected, the postings were transcribed by removing unnecessary elements like pictures and link. Then, the transcribed postings were converted into plain text so that they can be read by monoconc software. By using the help of monoconc software, the jargons found in the postings were counted and then categorized into different types of formations. Monoconc is also used to help analyzing the context of situation.

3.4 Data Analysis

The collected data were analyzed by using the framework of word formation theory proposed by Bauer (2007), Yule (1996), O’Grady & Guzman (1996), and Stageberg (2000). Hymes’ (1989) theory was also used to analyze the context of situation underlying the use of jargons. The analysis was also supported by other tools, in this case, dictionaries such as Oxford Advanced Learner Dictionary, Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (Daring), and Kamus Besar Bahasa Kaskus. In observing the data, the following steps have been taken:

1. Classification of Jargons.

The researcher classified the jargons based on types formation processes from the theories used. One table is for one type of word formation. The detail explanation is served below the table. Here is the example of the table:

Table 1

Each Type of Jargon Formation

2 WTB Want to Buy 24

3 WTT Want to Trade 11

4 PO Pre order 13

2. Meaning Search.

The researcher searched for the meaning in Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia Bahasa and Oxford Advanced Learner Dictionary. If the meaning is not available, then the researcher tried to find it in Kamus Besar Bahasa Kaskus available in Kaskus, or by seeing the context. 3. Analysis of Jargon Formation.

After knowing the classification and the meaning of each jargon, the researcher analyzed the data by using the theories elaborated in chapter two.

4. Calculation of Occurrences.

When the jargons were classified and analyzed, the frequencies of occurrences of the jargons were counted by using the simple formula elaborated below:

The formula for all of the process is:

N = Type of jargon formation

P = The total of each jargon formation process used in FJB Kaskus Q = The total of all jargon formation process in FJB Kaskus

P

N = x 100% Q

After all of the processes were counted, the results of the data are presented in a table below:

No. Jargons Total words Total in Percent

1 Abbreviation

2 Clipping

3 Clipped Compounds

4 Borrowing

5 Coinage

6 Prefixes

7 Suffixes

8 Affixes

9 Reduplication

10 Antonomasia

TOTAL

5. Investigate the Context of Situation.

When analyzing the jargon formation and the frequencies has been done, the analysis is moving on to the context of situation analysis. For example:

AGAN in the sentence“Kalau AGAN mau serius, harga boleh nego tipis.”

Setting and scene FJB Forum postings which sell cellphone, February 2013

Participant Seller who is the Kaskuser (member of Kaskus)

Ends This usually ends with a deal between the seller and buyer

explained the product and price, offered negotiation of the price, how to do transaction and also the contact number.

Key The tone is serious in a friendly way

Instrument Non-verbal communication and the register is informal

Norms of Interaction Trying to communicate like a seller and buyer

Genre Informal promotion

6. Conclusions and Suggestions

The last step is making conclusions and suggestions from the result.

1.1.Closing Remarks

The chapter has discussed formulation of problems, the research methodology, the clarification key terms, data collection and data analysis. In data collection, the process of collecting data was elaborated. The steps cover the transcribing of the data and the change of data format so that it can be used in monoconc software. Several steps were also done in analyzing the data. Classification of jargons, analysis of jargon formations, meaning search, and calculation of the frequencies are the steps of data analysis.

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

This chapter elaborates the conclusions and suggestions of the research. The conclusions are based on the findings and discussions of the research, and the suggestions are made for further research in the future and those who are interested in this study.

5.1 Conclusions

The purpose of this research is to investigate the jargon formation processes in FJB Kaskus postings and also the context of situation underlying the use of jargons found in FJB Kaskus postings. Based on the results elaborated in findings and discussions, there are some points that can be concluded. First, the findings show that there are 51 jargons found with the total of 365 occurrences in FJB Kaskus postings. Those jargons can be divided into ten types of formation, they are 18 abbreviations (121 occurrences), 9 clippings (84 occurrences), 6 clipped compounds (35 occurrences), 6 borrowings (73 occurrences), 1 coinage (1 occurrence), 4 derivations (27 occurrences), 4 reduplications (16 occurrences), and 3 antonomasias (8 occurrences).

Second, as seen from the results, it can be concluded that abbreviation is the type of formation which has the most occurrences (121 occurrences or 33,15%), followed by clipping which has 84 occurrences (23,01%).

Lastly, it can be concluded that the jargons found in FJB Kaskus postings are used in various situations depending on the context. Most of them are used in friendly greeting, and offering with various tones in formal and informal register.

5.2 Suggestions

Morphology, especially the study of word formation has many interesting sides to be studied. Language phenomenon and variety of objects can be the topic of a research. This research is about jargon formation in online communication, especially in online trading. The objects of this research are 35 postings in FJB Kaskus. For online communication itself, there are a lot of objects that can be analyzed beside online trading forum, for example, the research can cover the jargon formation in communication in social network, communication in online chatting, online dating forum, and etc.

For further research in the future, there are some suggestions that can be considered. First, the researcher can explore more types of formation by extending the data and the scope of the study, for example, the research analyzes not only the posting in FJB, but also the comments from the reader. Second, the object of the research can be added, for example, not only online trading in one forum, but also in other forums because as we know, there are countless online trading forums and websites nowadays such as amazon.com, tokobagus.com, berniaga.com, ebay.com, even facebook page is also used to sell product(s). Third, further research might consider other aspects to complete the details of the data collected, for example, the analysis can cover the gender of the writer, and the age of the writer to make the analysis more convincing. Hopefully, this research will be useful for those who have an interest in linguistics and communication study.

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

This chapter elaborates the conclusions and suggestions of the research. The conclusions are based on the findings and discussions of the research, and the suggestions are made for further research in the future and those who are interested in this study.

5.1 Conclusions

The purpose of this research is to investigate the jargon formation processes in FJB Kaskus postings and also the context of situation underlying the use of jargons found in FJB Kaskus postings. Based on the results elaborated in findings and discussions, there are some points that can be concluded. First, the findings show that there are 51 jargons found with the total of 365 occurrences in FJB Kaskus postings. Those jargons can be divided into ten types of formation, they are 18 abbreviations (121 occurrences), 9 clippings (84 occurrences), 6 clipped compounds (35 occurrences), 6 borrowings (73 occurrences), 1 coinage (1 occurrence), 4 derivations (27 occurrences), 4 reduplications (16 occurrences), and 3 antonomasias (8 occurrences).

Second, as seen from the results, it can be concluded that abbreviation is the type of formation which has the most occurrences (121 occurrences or 33,15%), followed by clipping which has 84 occurrences (23,01%).

Lastly, it can be concluded that the jargons found in FJB Kaskus postings are used in various situations depending on the context. Most of them are used in friendly greeting, and offering with various tones in formal and informal register.

5.2 Suggestions

Morphology, especially the study of word formation has many interesting sides to be studied. Language phenomenon and variety of objects can be the topic of a research. This research is about jargon formation in online communication, especially in online trading. The objects of this research are 35 postings in FJB Kaskus. For online communication itself, there are a lot of objects that can be analyzed beside online trading forum, for example, the research can cover the jargon formation in communication in social network, communication in online chatting, online dating forum, and etc.

For further research in the future, there are some suggestions that can be considered. First, the researcher can explore more types of formation by extending the data and the scope of the study, for example, the research analyzes not only the posting in FJB, but also the comments from the reader. Second, the object of the research can be added, for example, not only online trading in one forum, but also in other forums because as we know, there are countless online trading forums and websites nowadays such as amazon.com, tokobagus.com, berniaga.com, ebay.com, even facebook page is also used to sell product(s). Third, further research might consider other aspects to complete the details of the data collected, for example, the analysis can cover the gender of the writer, and the age of the writer to make the analysis more convincing. Hopefully, this research will be useful for those who have an interest in linguistics and communication study.
