Abstract
Maharani, Navita. 2016. Jargon Used by Jugdes, Mentors, and Hosts in Stand Up
Comedy Academy. Thesis, English Department, Adab and Humanities Faculty,
State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel. Advisor: Dr. H. Dzo’ul Milal, M.pd.
Key words: Jargon, Stand Up Comedy
Language is the most important as a tool to verbal communicate in daily
activity. The development of language has a variation, it can be called language
variation. Anypart language variation usually happen is the used of special terms
as jargon from certain comunity. Such as jargon which is used by Stand Up
Comedy Academy.
Based on the background above the writer focus on three problems, 1.
What jargons are used by judges, mentors, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy
Academy, 2. What are the meaning of those jargons, 3. How is the wordformation process of those jargons. This study focused on jargon meaning based
on word-formation process.
In this study, the researcher used a descriptive qualitative. The data of this
research taken from the recording competition of Stand Up Comedy Academy by
media television. The researcher made the transcript from the audio recording
during the judges and mentors giving assesment to the contestant and the hosts
when guide the show of Stand Up Comedy Academy. The researcher collected the
data then analyze based on meaning and word-formation process.
In this study, the researcher found there are fourty (40) special jargon used
by judges, mentors, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy. The researcher
found there are two (2) include that word coinage, such as Gerr to asses the
comic. Fourteen (14) include borrowing word, such as explore, delivery, premis.
Thirteen (13) compounding, such as gantung mic and ambil mic. Seven (7) word
include conversion, such bomb and timing. One (1) word clipping, that is persona,
and three (3) words include derivational such as mengeksekusi and tantangan.
It is sugested for the next researchers to have research using another
competition from another comunities that discuss same study about jargon used in
comunity that show in television as the language variation that exist in Indonesia.

Intisari
Maharani, Navita. Jargon Yang Digunakan Oleh Juri, Mentor, Dan Host Di Stand
Up Comedy Academy. Skripsi, Sastra Inggris, Fakultas Adab Dan Humaniora,
Universitas Islam Negri Sunan Ampel Surabaya. Pembimbing: Dr. H. A. Dzo’ul
Milal, M.Pd.
Kata Kunci: Jargon, Stand Up Comedy Academy
Bahasa adalah hal alat yang penting dalam komunikasi verbal sehari-hari.
Dalam perkembangannya, bahasa memiliki ragam variasi, atau disebut sebagai
variasi bahasa. Salah variasi bahasa yang biasanya terjadi yaitu istilah bahasa
khusus yang disebut dengan jargon yang digunakan oleh kelompok tertentu.
Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut penulis fokus pada tiga masalah, 1.
Jargon apa yang digunakan oleh juri, mentor, dan host di Stand Up Comedy
Academy, 2. Apakah arti dari jargon yang digunakan oleh juri, mentor, dan host
di Stand Up Comedy Academy, 3. Bagaimana proses formasi bahasa dari jargon
yang digunakan oleh juri, mentor, dan host di Stand Up Comedy Academy.
Penelitian ini focus pada jargon berdasarkan proses formasi bahasa.
Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif.
Data dari penelitian ini diambil dengan cara merekam percakapan antara juri,
mentor, dan host saat kompetisi Stand Up Comedy Academy di televisi. Penulis
mengkoleksi data lalu menganalisis berdasarkan arti dan formasi bahasa.
Penelitian ini penulis menemukan empat puluh (40) jargon khusus yang
digunakan oleh juri, mentor, dan host di Stand Up Comedy Academy. Penulis
menemukan ada dua (2) kata menggunakan coinage, seperti gerr sebagai penilaian
komika. Empat belas (14) kata yang temasuk borrowing, seperti explore, delivery,
premis. Tiga belas (13) kata yang temasuk compounding, seperti gantung mic dan
ambil mic. Tujuh (7) kata temasuk conversion, seperti bomb dan timming. Satu (1)
kata clipping, yaitu persona, dan tiga (3) kata temasuk derivational seperti
mengeksekusi dan tantangan.
Disarankan untuk penulis selanjutnya untuk melakukan penelitian
kompetisi komunitas yang lainnya yang membahas tentang jargon yang
digunakan oleh suatu komunitas yang ada di televisi sebagai variasi bahasa yang
ada di Indonesia.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This part describes the background of study, research problems, research
question, significance of the study, scope and limitation of the study, the
definition of key terms, and organizatin of the thesis.
1.1 Background
Language is a tool in conversation that often used where we leave especially
in social context. The language, make us much easier to communicate with others,
because, people has different characters and identity. That identity has been
constructed from interaction with others and it is the sense of self each of us has
achieved, the result of our socalization, i.e., our expiriences with the outside world
as we have dealt with that world in all its complexity (Wardaugh:2006:6).
Language is one of the character that made the diffrences in comunity, such as a
language which is usually used by a group of people who work in a profession
such as military language, market, medical, and other communities.
Communication as a part of necessity in social relationship of human being.
Communication which happened in social life context show that society have
language variety. It is because the situaton that participants used language
different from the context. There are several factors that influence the use of
variation in community, as Wardaugh (2006:51) says, we may try to relate the
level of formality chosen to a variety of factors: the kind of occasion; the various
social, age, and other differences that exist between the participants; the particular
1
task that is involved, e.g., writing or speaking; the emotional involvement of one
or more of the participants; and so on.
Communication happens in human activity, that is when they are doing
interaction each other. Such as the communication that happened in Stand Up
Comedy Academy which has variation of language as a tool to communicate
between the judges who give comment to the contestant after performes on the
stage. It also used by the hosts and mentors as advisor of the contestant to
comment the performance of the contestant. A part of language which is used by
Stand Up Comedy Academy is Jargon.
Jargon is a special term used by particular group of people that could be a
form of words, or phrases. Fromkin (2011:470) said that linguistic jargon, some of
which is used in this book, consists of term as phoneme, morpheme, case, lexicon,
pharase structure rule, and so on. Part of the reason for specialized terminology is
for clarity of communication, but part is also for speakers to identify themselves
with persons with whom they share interests. Because the jargon used by different
profession and social groups is so extensive (and so obsecure in meaning).
The research done by Arma Chandrasari, Febry (2005) about the Jargon
Indonesian Naval Academy tells about the usage of jargon by cadet of Indonesian
Naval Academy. The researcher found eight word formation process such as
coinage, borrowing, blending, acronyms, derivation, clipping, multiple processes.
The research done by Winarni, Defrina indra (2013) about the word formation
processes of automotive jargons in Autoweek Magazine it described the word
formation processes of automotive jargons in Autoweek Magazine. The researcher
found there are 24 out of 35 automotive jargons shaped by compounding
2
processes. Then 5 out of 35 automotive jargons are shaped using acronym
process. 2 out of 35 automotive jargons as formed using derivation process, 2 out
of 35 automotive jargons are shaped using invention or coinage processes, 1 out
of 35 automotive jargons process of borrowing and the last 1 out of 35 automotive
jargons undergoes the process of clipping.
The study done by Setiawan, Achmad Fauzy (2015) about the study of
word-formation process in jargons used on chatting in dota, he found seven types
of word formation processes acronym, clipping, coinage, blending, borrowing,
multiple processes, and conversion. Acronym is found to be the most word
formation processes used due to particular reasons. Generally, acronym is
frequently found due to its usage could ease gamers in chatting with keyboard as
typing media.
Based on previous research, about the used of jargon shows characters of
military related to their culture or their job on community. And also the used of
jargon found in the usage of mass media which is shaped by word formation
process. So, in this case the researcher interest to do research about jargon used by
judges, mentors, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy. The researcher
selected jargon of judges, mentors, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy
because in previous study is about the used of jargon terms contained in the
military and mass media. The present study will be conducted in the competiton in
which generally come from comedy community which have an unique language,
and there are terms as a technique of stand up comedy. It can be used as reference
to research that will discuss the same topic, in particular jargon that exist in
Indonesia.
3
Stand Up Comedy Academy is one of the competition on a television
show that is looking for tallent of comedians in Indonesia. The judges in Stand Up
Comedy there are four up to five people. When they leave a comment they have
their own terms, for example gerr-nya berantakan, premis, beat, punchline, set
up, and other term particulary for an assess the contestants.
In this study, the researcher will focus on the jargons used by judges,
mentors, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy because at that time using the
jargon is commonly used by the judges who comment, the mentor and the hosts.
The term used usually terms that exists in Stand Up Comedy Academy, for
example when mentors add comments and hosts using the jargon of Stand Up
Comedy. The researcher did not research the language of contestants because
language of contestants rarely used the term itself. Their language is only funy so
it can not be exmined as using jargon because the time and performances are
different in each perform on the stage.
1.2 Research Question
1.2.1. What jargons are used by judges, mentor, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy
Academy?
l.2.2.What are the meaning jargons used by judges, mentor, and hosts in Stand Up
Comedy Academy?
1.2.3. How is the word-formation process jargons used by judges, mentor, and
hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy?
4
1.3 Research Objectives
This research intended to:
1.3.1. To describe what the jargons used by judge, mentors, and hosts in Stand Up
comic Academy.
1.3.2. Explain the meaning of jargons used by judges, mentors, and hosts in Stand
Up Comedy Academy.
1.3.3. To describe the word-formation process of those jargons used by judges,
mentors, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy.
1.4 Significance of the Research
The research hopes that this study will useful particularly for additional
supplementary reference for other researchers who want to discuss about
phenomenon jargon as a form of diversity that exist in the community, especially
in Indonesia.
1.5 Scope and Limitation
The scope in this research field based on the situational characteristic
jargon, the researcher will focus on the research problems and purposes.
Limitation in this research is only going to do research on the use of the term by a
judges, mentors and hosts. The judge have an interest in giving commentary about
performance every contestant in stand up comedy, the language used by the judge
usually have intension to make the judgement of contestants shorten. Mentor is
the advisor for the contestants during the competition of Stand Up Comedy
Academy, the language used is almost same with judges, but they usually have a
5
special term for the students. Hosts that guide the course of the event have a
common language to addresse the name of comic and the special term in Stand Up
Comedy Academy. However, the researcher do not discuss the communication of
the contestants because they are commonly used different language each every
their performance and there is no accordance with this research.
1.6 Definition of key terms
Jargon is a special term used by a particular group of people could be a
form of words. or phrases. as Fromkin (470) said that Linguistic jargon, some of
which is used in this book, consists of terms such as phoneme, morpheme, case,
lexicon, phrase structure rule, and so on.
Stand Up Comedy Academy is a comedy competition that aired on
Indosiar. The Contestants of Stand Up Comedy Academy known as comic. The
comic also lead by mentor during the competition. Unlike the other competitions,
the elimination / hanging mic Stand Up Comedy Academy is determined by the
judges.
1.7 Organization of the Thesis
There are five chapters organized in this thesis. The first is Chapter I
which contains background, research problems, objectives of the research,
significance of the research, scope and limitation, definition of key terms and the
organization of the thesis. Chapter II conclude review of literature and some
theories, to analizing the data of this research. Chapter III is research methodology
and consists of method, data source, subject, data, data collection, instrument to
6
collect data, and data analize. Besides that, the findings and discussion of the
research was explained in Chapter IV. Finally, Chapter V the researcher give
conclusion of the research.
7
CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED THEORIES
This part describes the literature review, definition of jargon and meaning
used by the Stand Up Comedy Academy, word formation process in the use terms
of jargon, and also previous research the same study about jargon that exist in
Indonesia.
2. Literature Review
2.1 Language Variation
The language used between each communities produce the
variation in language. The language variation has differences based on
linguistic patterns or external factor. As Hudson and Ferguson agree in
defining variety in terms of a specific set of 'linguistic items' or 'human
speech patterns' (presumably, soundly words, grammatical features, etc)
which we can uniquely associate with some external factor (presumably, a
geographical area or a social group) (Wardaugh:2006:25).
Communication which happens in the community has relation each
other. Such as the competition done by comedy community that has
special term as a term of technique comedy. In the comedy competition the
using of jargon by the judges is the term to give assessment by judges,
mentors to give additional assessment to the comic's performance, and
hosts when guide the event from the opening until the closing.
8
2.2 Jargon
Language is a tools in communication, the development of language
have an alteration or new words. Various communication have different
characters that directly generates new words that became the term for their
communities. Jargon is a special term used by a particular group of people
could be a form of words, or phrases. as Fromkin (2011:470)
said that
Linguistic jargon, some of which is used in this book, consists of terms such
as phoneme, morpheme, case, lexicon, phrase structure rule, and so on. the
jargon used by different professional and social groups is so extensive (and
so obscure in meaning).
2.3 Word-Formation Process
The word has function to refers to an object or refers to another meaning.
The word can also be generated from an updated word, as the two words that
become one word, words taken from other languages term, spelling,
abbreviations, or words that have meaning but functioned to addressing another
meaning. As the word formation it deals with the formation of words.
In word formation, there are ten of word formation process, that is
coinage, borrowing, blending, Acronyms, derivation, clipping, multiply processes,
back- formation and compounding.
9
2.3.1.1 Coinage
One of the least common of word formation in English is coinage, that is,
the invention of totally new terms. Older example are aspirin, nylon, vaseline and
zipper, more recent examples are granola, kleneex, teflon and xerox
(Yule:2010:53). The coinage usually have obsecure meaning and it become
everyday words.
2.3.1.2 Borrowing
Borrowing is a form of word formation process that has the same
characteristics as the use of language uptake ofother languages. Troughout it is
history, the English language has adopted a vast number of words from other
languages, including croissant (french), dope (Dutch), lilac (Persian), piano
(Italian), pretzel (German), sofa (Arabic), tatto (Tahitian), tycoon (Japanese),
yogurt (Turkish), zabra (Bantu). (Yule:2010:54).
2.3.1.3 Compounding
Compounding is the terms which is a combination of a single word with
another word. In the compounding usually there are two word that are combinated
and form a new word in English. Common English compounds are bookcase,
doorknob, fingerprint, sunburn, textbook, wallpapper, wastebasket, and waterbed.
(Yule:2010:55).
10
2.3.1.4 Blending
Just like compounding, blending combine from two different words into
one word an have new meaning. However, blending is typically accomplished by
taking only the beginning of one word and joining it to the end of the other word.
In some parts of the USA, there's a product that is used like gasoline, but is made
from alcohol, so the "blended" word for referring to this product is
gasohol.(Yule:2010:55)
2.3.1.5 Clipping
The element of reduction that is noticeable in blending is even more
apparent in the process described as clipping. This occurs when a word of more
than one syllable (facsimile) is reduced to a shorter form (fax), usually beginning
in casual speech. The term gasoline is still used, but most people talk about gas,
using the clipped form. Other common examples are ad (advertisement), bra
(brassiere), cab (cabriolet), condo (condominium), fan (fanatic), flu (influenza),
perm (permanent wave), phone, plane and pub (public house). English speakers
also like to clip each other's names, as in A1, Ed, Liz, Mike, Ron, Sam, Sue and
Tom. (Yule:2010:56)
2.3.1.6 Backformation
A very specialized type of reduction process is known as backformation.
Typically, a word of one type (usually a noun) is reduced to form a word of
another type (usually a verb). A good example of backformation is the process
whereby the noun television firt came into use and hen verb televise was created
11
form it. Other examples of words created by this process are: donate (from
“donation”), emote (from “emotion”), enthuse (from “enthusiasm”), liaise (from
“liaison”) and babysit (from “babysitter”) . (Yule:2010:56)
2.3.1.7 Conversion
A change in the function of a word, as for exemple when a noun come to
be used as a verb (without any reduction), is generally know as conversion. Other
labels for this very common process are “category change” and functional shift”.
A number of nouns such as bottle, butter, chair, and vacation have come to be
used, through conversion, as the verbs: We bottled the home-brew last night;
Have you buttered the toast?; Someone has to chair the meeting; they’re
vacationing in Florida. (Yule:2010:57).
2.3.1.8 Acronyms
Acronyms are new words formed from the initial letters of a set of other
words. These can be fors such as CD(Compact disk), or VCR (Vidio Cassette
Recorder) where the pronunciation consists of saying each separate letter. More
tipically, acronyms are pronounced as new single word, as in NATO, NASA, or
UNESCO. Another form of acronyms is called syllabic abreviation. Syllabic
abreviation are usually written using lowe case, sometimes starting with a capital
letter, and are always pronunced as word as word letter bt letter. These examples
have kept their capital letters, but many acronyms simple become everyday terms
such as laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation), radar (radio
detecting and ranging), scuba (self contained underwater breathing apparatus), and
12
zip (zone improvement plan), code. (Yule:2010:58)
2.3.1.9 Derivation
In our list so far. We have not dealt with the most common old formation
process to be found in the production of new English words’. This process is
called derivation, and it is accomplished by means of a huge number of small bits
of the English language which are note usually given separate listings in
dictionaries. These small bits are called affixes and a few example are the
elements un-, mis-, pre-, -ful, -less, -ism, -ness which appear in words like
unhappy, misrepresent, prejudge, joyful, careless, bovish, terrorism and sadness.
(Yule:2010:58).
2.3.1.10 Multiple Processes
Altough we have concentraced on each of these word-formation processes
in isolation, it is possible to trace the operation of more than one process at work
in the creation of a particular word. For example, the term deli seems to have
become a common American English expression via a process of first borrowing
delicatessen (from German) and then clipping that borrowed form. If someone
says that problems with the project have snowballed, the final word can be
analyzed as an example of compounding in which snow and ball were combined
to form the noun snowball, which was then turned into a verb trough conversion.
Forms that begin as acronyms can also go trough other process, as in the use of
lase as a verb, the result of backformation from laser. In the expression waspish
attitudes, the acronym WASP (“white Anglo-Saxon Protestant”) has lost its
13
capital letters and gained a suffix (-ish) in the derivation process. (Yule:2010:60).
2.3. Previous Research
2.3.1 A Study of Jargon in Indonesian Naval Academy Bhumimoro
Surabaya
The researcher found the use of jargon by cadets in the Naval Academy.
The used of jargon term hereditary from the navy. Jargon which used has
character of military. In this study, the researcher, Arma Chandrasari found ninety
(90) jargon, and there are eight (8) word formation processes in the jargon terms is
coinage, borrowing, blending, acronym, derivation, clipping, multiple processes.
The researcher used theory of word formation process by George Yule.
2.3.2 Word Formation Processes of Automotive Jargons in Autoweek
Magazine
The researcher found the word formation processes of belong to
automative jargons in Autoweek Magazine. The researcher found there are 24 out
of 35 automative jargons shaped by compunding processes. Then 5 out of 35
automative jargons are shaped using acronym process, 2 out of 35 automative
jargons are formed using derivation processes, 2 out of 35 automotive jargons are
shaped using invention or coinage processes, 1 out of 35 automotive jargons
undergoes the process of borrowing, and the last 1 out of 35 automotive jargons
undergoes the process of clipping
The similarities between previous studies and this research are discuss
about same case that is jargon which used in the communities and analyze based
14
on Geoge Yule theory about word formation process. The differences between
previous research with this research is from the object. The previous research
discuss about military and media communities whereas this research discuss about
a show competition of Stand Up Comedy Academy. The technique is also
different the previous research using observation directly in the place of military
and megazine, whereas this research using media television to get the data.
15
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This part describes the research design. source of data. research instrument
of the research, subject of the research, data collection and data analysis.
Research Design
This research is used descriptive qualitative. This research use descriptive
qualitative because the result of this research would be data such description and
explanation. As Kaelan said (2012: 5). According to Bogan and Taylor (1975: 5)
defines that a qualitative research method is a research procedure that produces
descriptive data in the form of words (can be spoken to the study of religious,
social, cultural, phisolophical), records relating to the meaning, value and
understanding (2012: 5).
3.1 Source of Data
3.1.1 Data Source
In this research, researcher used transcript from voice record of
conversation by judges and mentors when they give assessment and comment to
the comic's Stand Up performance, and hosts to guide the show of Stand Up
Comedy Academy.
16
3.1.2 Data
The data of this research was some of words that used as jargons by
judges, mentors, and hosts of Stand Up Comedy Academy.
3.2 Subject of the Research
The subject of this research is human, they are jugdes and mentors when
they give the assesment to the comic after comic performance to stand up and
hosts to guide the show of Stand Up Comedy Academy.
3.3 Data Collection
In this research the researcher used the recorder to record the conversation
focusing on judges when they give assessment to the comic after comic's
performan mentors when they give additional comment and hosts when they
present to guide the shows of Stand Up Comedy Academy. Researcher record as
researcher sure that the data of this research was fulfilled. After the researcher had
the record, the transcibed the conversation orthographicaly. The researcher
listened and transcribe, after that the researcher listened again the record to correct
the data, until the researcher was sure that the transcript was appropriate with the
conversation in the record. After the researcher finished transcribing identified
and underlined the data based on the jargon.
17
3.4 Research Instrument
The instruments used to collect data are:
The researher herself observes, records, transcribes, identifies, clasify and
draw the conclution about the finding. Epistemological researcher as instrument to
determine the relationship of subject and object of research so the form of real
meaning must be understood and interpreted (Kaelan:2011:83). Recorder, to
record the conversation during the show going on. The researcher use sounds
recorder to get the information about the usage of jargon by judges, mentors, and
hosts.
3.5 Data Analysis
The researcher give codes about contxtual meaning of each jargon based
on the conversion by judges, mentors, and hosts. Then give a codes those jargons
into word formation. The researcher found some of jargons used among judges,
mentors, and hosts, then the researcher will identyfying what kind of word
formation processes shape the jargon based on chapter two.
18
CHAPTER IV
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
This part describes each of the jargon and meanings used by judges,
mentors, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy and also the explain the term of
each jargons based on word formation process.
4.1 Jargon used by Jugdes, Mentors, and Host in Stand Up Comedy Academy
Language is an important tool that we used to talk each other in daily life.
Language becomes varieties because the kinds of differences, could be different
age, occupation, or community. Like the language variation that occurs in the
community of Stand Up Comedy Academy, which has a specific term that usually
they used in their community, that is Jargon.
Jargon is a type of language that is used in a particular context and may not
be well understood outside of it. Usually a particular occupation such a certain
trade, profession, or academic field, but any group can have jargon. as Fromkin
(470) said that Linguistic jargon, some of which is used in this book, consists of
terms such as phoneme, morpheme, case, lexicon, phrase structure rule, and so on.
Jargon is a term that is only used by certain groups, such as the jargon used
by judges, mentors, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy. The special term of
jargon occurs in the stand-up comedy academy, such when they give cements to the
comic performance. The researcher found 40 jargons used by judges, mentors, and
hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy. The researcher tried to put them alphabeticall.

4.2 Meaning of Jargon used by Jugdes, Mentors, and Hosts in Stand Up
Comedy Academy
The used of jargon in Stand Up Comedy Academy by judges, mentors, and
hosts as the term of technique comedy. The judges give comments to the comic’s
performance about the material bought by comic, it is sometome used special term.
Almost same like judges, mentors give additional comment about the comic’s
performance, and hosts also have terms when they guide the event from opening to
closing, include in elimination.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This part describes the background of study, research problems, research
question, significance of the study, scope and limitation of the study, the
definition of key terms, and organizatin of the thesis.
1.1 Background
Language is a tool in conversation that often used where we leave especially
in social context. The language, make us much easier to communicate with others,
because, people has different characters and identity. That identity has been
constructed from interaction with others and it is the sense of self each of us has
achieved, the result of our socalization, i.e., our expiriences with the outside world
as we have dealt with that world in all its complexity (Wardaugh:2006:6).
Language is one of the character that made the diffrences in comunity, such as a
language which is usually used by a group of people who work in a profession
such as military language, market, medical, and other communities.
Communication as a part of necessity in social relationship of human being.
Communication which happened in social life context show that society have
language variety. It is because the situaton that participants used language
different from the context. There are several factors that influence the use of
variation in community, as Wardaugh (2006:51) says, we may try to relate the
level of formality chosen to a variety of factors: the kind of occasion; the various
social, age, and other differences that exist between the participants; the particular
1
task that is involved, e.g., writing or speaking; the emotional involvement of one
or more of the participants; and so on.
Communication happens in human activity, that is when they are doing
interaction each other. Such as the communication that happened in Stand Up
Comedy Academy which has variation of language as a tool to communicate
between the judges who give comment to the contestant after performes on the
stage. It also used by the hosts and mentors as advisor of the contestant to
comment the performance of the contestant. A part of language which is used by
Stand Up Comedy Academy is Jargon.
Jargon is a special term used by particular group of people that could be a
form of words, or phrases. Fromkin (2011:470) said that linguistic jargon, some of
which is used in this book, consists of term as phoneme, morpheme, case, lexicon,
pharase structure rule, and so on. Part of the reason for specialized terminology is
for clarity of communication, but part is also for speakers to identify themselves
with persons with whom they share interests. Because the jargon used by different
profession and social groups is so extensive (and so obsecure in meaning).
The research done by Arma Chandrasari, Febry (2005) about the Jargon
Indonesian Naval Academy tells about the usage of jargon by cadet of Indonesian
Naval Academy. The researcher found eight word formation process such as
coinage, borrowing, blending, acronyms, derivation, clipping, multiple processes.
The research done by Winarni, Defrina indra (2013) about the word formation
processes of automotive jargons in Autoweek Magazine it described the word
formation processes of automotive jargons in Autoweek Magazine. The researcher
found there are 24 out of 35 automotive jargons shaped by compounding
2
processes. Then 5 out of 35 automotive jargons are shaped using acronym
process. 2 out of 35 automotive jargons as formed using derivation process, 2 out
of 35 automotive jargons are shaped using invention or coinage processes, 1 out
of 35 automotive jargons process of borrowing and the last 1 out of 35 automotive
jargons undergoes the process of clipping.
The study done by Setiawan, Achmad Fauzy (2015) about the study of
word-formation process in jargons used on chatting in dota, he found seven types
of word formation processes acronym, clipping, coinage, blending, borrowing,
multiple processes, and conversion. Acronym is found to be the most word
formation processes used due to particular reasons. Generally, acronym is
frequently found due to its usage could ease gamers in chatting with keyboard as
typing media.
Based on previous research, about the used of jargon shows characters of
military related to their culture or their job on community. And also the used of
jargon found in the usage of mass media which is shaped by word formation
process. So, in this case the researcher interest to do research about jargon used by
judges, mentors, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy. The researcher
selected jargon of judges, mentors, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy
because in previous study is about the used of jargon terms contained in the
military and mass media. The present study will be conducted in the competiton in
which generally come from comedy community which have an unique language,
and there are terms as a technique of stand up comedy. It can be used as reference
to research that will discuss the same topic, in particular jargon that exist in
Indonesia.
3
Stand Up Comedy Academy is one of the competition on a television
show that is looking for tallent of comedians in Indonesia. The judges in Stand Up
Comedy there are four up to five people. When they leave a comment they have
their own terms, for example gerr-nya berantakan, premis, beat, punchline, set
up, and other term particulary for an assess the contestants.
In this study, the researcher will focus on the jargons used by judges,
mentors, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy because at that time using the
jargon is commonly used by the judges who comment, the mentor and the hosts.
The term used usually terms that exists in Stand Up Comedy Academy, for
example when mentors add comments and hosts using the jargon of Stand Up
Comedy. The researcher did not research the language of contestants because
language of contestants rarely used the term itself. Their language is only funy so
it can not be exmined as using jargon because the time and performances are
different in each perform on the stage.
1.2 Research Question
1.2.1. What jargons are used by judges, mentor, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy
Academy?

1.5 Scope and Limitation
The scope in this research field based on the situational characteristic
jargon, the researcher will focus on the research problems and purposes.
Limitation in this research is only going to do research on the use of the term by a
judges, mentors and hosts. The judge have an interest in giving commentary about
performance every contestant in stand up comedy, the language used by the judge
usually have intension to make the judgement of contestants shorten. Mentor is
the advisor for the contestants during the competition of Stand Up Comedy
Academy, the language used is almost same with judges, but they usually have a
5
special term for the students. Hosts that guide the course of the event have a
common language to addresse the name of comic and the special term in Stand Up
Comedy Academy. However, the researcher do not discuss the communication of
the contestants because they are commonly used different language each every
their performance and there is no accordance with this research.
1.6 Definition of key terms

of jargon, and also previous research the same study about jargon that exist in
Indonesia.
2. Literature Review
2.1 Language Variation
The language used between each communities produce the
variation in language. The language variation has differences based on
linguistic patterns or external factor. As Hudson and Ferguson agree in
defining variety in terms of a specific set of 'linguistic items' or 'human
speech patterns' (presumably, soundly words, grammatical features, etc)
which we can uniquely associate with some external factor (presumably, a
geographical area or a social group) (Wardaugh:2006:25).
Communication which happens in the community has relation each
other. Such as the competition done by comedy community that has
special term as a term of technique comedy. In the comedy competition the
using of jargon by the judges is the term to give assessment by judges,
mentors to give additional assessment to the comic's performance, and
hosts when guide the event from the opening until the closing.

2.2 Jargon
Language is a tools in communication, the development of language
have an alteration or new words. Various communication have different
characters that directly generates new words that became the term for their
communities. Jargon is a special term used by a particular group of people
could be a form of words, or phrases. as Fromkin (2011:470)
said that
Linguistic jargon, some of which is used in this book, consists of terms such
as phoneme, morpheme, case, lexicon, phrase structure rule, and so on. the
jargon used by different professional and social groups is so extensive (and
so obscure in meaning).
2.3 Word-Formation Process
The word has function to refers to an object or refers to another meaning.
The word can also be generated from an updated word, as the two words that
become one word, words taken from other languages term, spelling,
abbreviations, or words that have meaning but functioned to addressing another
meaning. As the word formation it deals with the formation of words.
In word formation, there are ten of word formation process, that is
coinage, borrowing, blending, Acronyms, derivation, clipping, multiply processes,
back- formation and compounding.
9
2.3.1.1 Coinage
One of the least common of word formation in English is coinage, that is,
the invention of totally new terms. Older example are aspirin, nylon, vaseline and
zipper, more recent examples are granola, kleneex, teflon and xerox
(Yule:2010:53). The coinage usually have obsecure meaning and it become
everyday words.
2.3.1.2 Borrowing
Borrowing is a form of word formation process that has the same
characteristics as the use of language uptake ofother languages. Troughout it is
history, the English language has adopted a vast number of words from other
languages, including croissant (french), dope (Dutch), lilac (Persian), piano
(Italian), pretzel (German), sofa (Arabic), tatto (Tahitian), tycoon (Japanese),
yogurt (Turkish), zabra (Bantu). (Yule:2010:54).
2.3.1.3 Compounding
Compounding is the terms which is a combination of a single word with
another word. In the compounding usually there are two word that are combinated
and form a new word in English. Common English compounds are bookcase,
doorknob, fingerprint, sunburn, textbook, wallpapper, wastebasket, and waterbed.
(Yule:2010:55).
10
2.3.1.4 Blending
Just like compounding, blending combine from two different words into
one word an have new meaning. However, blending is typically accomplished by
taking only the beginning of one word and joining it to the end of the other word.
In some parts of the USA, there's a product that is used like gasoline, but is made
from alcohol, so the "blended" word for referring to this product is
gasohol.(Yule:2010:55)
2.3.1.5 Clipping
The element of reduction that is noticeable in blending is even more
apparent in the process described as clipping. This occurs when a word of more
than one syllable (facsimile) is reduced to a shorter form (fax), usually beginning
in casual speech. The term gasoline is still used, but most people talk about gas,
using the clipped form. Other common examples are ad (advertisement), bra
(brassiere), cab (cabriolet), condo (condominium), fan (fanatic), flu (influenza),
perm (permanent wave), phone, plane and pub (public house). English speakers
also like to clip each other's names, as in A1, Ed, Liz, Mike, Ron, Sam, Sue and
Tom. (Yule:2010:56)
2.3.1.6 Backformation
A very specialized type of reduction process is known as backformation.
Typically, a word of one type (usually a noun) is reduced to form a word of
another type (usually a verb). A good example of backformation is the process
whereby the noun television firt came into use and hen verb televise was created
11
form it. Other examples of words created by this process are: donate (from
“donation”), emote (from “emotion”), enthuse (from “enthusiasm”), liaise (from
“liaison”) and babysit (from “babysitter”) . (Yule:2010:56)
2.3.1.7 Conversion
A change in the function of a word, as for exemple when a noun come to
be used as a verb (without any reduction), is generally know as conversion. Other
labels for this very common process are “category change” and functional shift”.
A number of nouns such as bottle, butter, chair, and vacation have come to be
used, through conversion, as the verbs: We bottled the home-brew last night;
Have you buttered the toast?; Someone has to chair the meeting; they’re
vacationing in Florida. (Yule:2010:57).
2.3.1.8 Acronyms
Acronyms are new words formed from the initial letters of a set of other
words. These can be fors such as CD(Compact disk), or VCR (Vidio Cassette
Recorder) where the pronunciation consists of saying each separate letter. More
tipically, acronyms are pronounced as new single word, as in NATO, NASA, or
UNESCO. Another form of acronyms is called syllabic abreviation. Syllabic
abreviation are usually written using lowe case, sometimes starting with a capital
letter, and are always pronunced as word as word letter bt letter. These examples
have kept their capital letters, but many acronyms simple become everyday terms
such as laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation), radar (radio
detecting and ranging), scuba (self contained underwater breathing apparatus), and
12
zip (zone improvement plan), code. (Yule:2010:58)
2.3.1.9 Derivation
In our list so far. We have not dealt with the most common old formation
process to be found in the production of new English words’. This process is
called derivation, and it is accomplished by means of a huge number of small bits
of the English language which are note usually given separate listings in
dictionaries. These small bits are called affixes and a few example are the
elements un-, mis-, pre-, -ful, -less, -ism, -ness which appear in words like
unhappy, misrepresent, prejudge, joyful, careless, bovish, terrorism and sadness.
(Yule:2010:58).
2.3.1.10 Multiple Processes
Altough we have concentraced on each of these word-formation processes
in isolation, it is possible to trace the operation of more than one process at work
in the creation of a particular word. For example, the term deli seems to have
become a common American English expression via a process of first borrowing
delicatessen (from German) and then clipping that borrowed form. If someone
says that problems with the project have snowballed, the final word can be
analyzed as an example of compounding in which snow and ball were combined
to form the noun snowball, which was then turned into a verb trough conversion.
Forms that begin as acronyms can also go trough other process, as in the use of
lase as a verb, the result of backformation from laser. In the expression waspish
attitudes, the acronym WASP (“white Anglo-Saxon Protestant”) has lost its
13
capital letters and gained a suffix (-ish) in the derivation process. (Yule:2010:60).
2.3. Previous Research
2.3.1 A Study of Jargon in Indonesian Naval Academy Bhumimoro
Surabaya
The researcher found the use of jargon by cadets in the Naval Academy.
The used of jargon term hereditary from the navy. Jargon which used has
character of military. In this study, the researcher, Arma Chandrasari found ninety
(90) jargon, and there are eight (8) word formation processes in the jargon terms is
coinage, borrowing, blending, acronym, derivation, clipping, multiple processes.
The researcher used theory of word formation process by George Yule.
2.3.2 Word Formation Processes of Automotive Jargons in Autoweek
Magazine
The researcher found the word formation processes of belong to
automative jargons in Autoweek Magazine. The researcher found there are 24 out
of 35 automative jargons shaped by compunding processes. Then 5 out of 35
automative jargons are shaped using acronym process, 2 out of 35 automative
jargons are formed using derivation processes, 2 out of 35 automotive jargons are
shaped using invention or coinage processes, 1 out of 35 automotive jargons
undergoes the process of borrowing, and the last 1 out of 35 automotive jargons
undergoes the process of clipping
The similarities between previous studies and this research are discuss
about same case that is jargon which used in the communities and analyze based
14
on Geoge Yule theory about word formation process. The differences between
previous research with this research is from the object. The previous research
discuss about military and media communities whereas this research discuss about
a show competition of Stand Up Comedy Academy. The technique is also
different the previous research using observation directly in the place of military
and megazine, whereas this research using media television to get the data.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This part describes the research design. source of data. research instrument
of the research, subject of the research, data collection and data analysis.
Research Design
This research is used descriptive qualitative. This research use descriptive
qualitative because the result of this research would be data such description and
explanation. As Kaelan said (2012: 5). According to Bogan and Taylor (1975: 5)
defines that a qualitative research method is a research procedure that produces
descriptive data in the form of words (can be spoken to the study of religious,
social, cultural, phisolophical), records relating to the meaning, value and
understanding (2012: 5).
3.1 Source of Data
3.1.1 Data Source
In this research, researcher used transcript from voice record of
conversation by judges and mentors when they give assessment and comment to
the comic's Stand Up performance, and hosts to guide the show of Stand Up
Comedy Academy.
16
3.1.2 Data
The data of this research was some of words that used as jargons by
judges, mentors, and hosts of Stand Up Comedy Academy.
3.2 Subject of the Research
The subject of this research is human, they are jugdes and mentors when
they give the assesment to the comic after comic performance to stand up and
hosts to guide the show of Stand Up Comedy Academy.
3.3 Data Collection
In this research the researcher used the recorder to record the conversation
focusing on judges when they give assessment to the comic after comic's
performan mentors when they give additional comment and hosts when they
present to guide the shows of Stand Up Comedy Academy. Researcher record as
researcher sure that the data of this research was fulfilled. After the researcher had
the record, the transcibed the conversation orthographicaly. The researcher
listened and transcribe, after that the researcher listened again the record to correct
the data, until the researcher was sure that the transcript was appropriate with the
conversation in the record. After the researcher finished transcribing identified
and underlined the data based on the jargon.
17
3.4 Research Instrument
The instruments used to collect data are:
The researher herself observes, records, transcribes, identifies, clasify and
draw the conclution about the finding. Epistemological researcher as instrument to
determine the relationship of subject and object of research so the form of real
meaning must be understood and interpreted (Kaelan:2011:83). Recorder, to
record the conversation during the show going on. The researcher use sounds
recorder to get the information about the usage of jargon by judges, mentors, and
hosts.
3.5 Data Analysis
The researcher give codes about contxtual meaning of each jargon based
on the conversion by judges, mentors, and hosts. Then give a codes those jargons
into word formation. The researcher found some of jargons used among judges,
mentors, and hosts, then the researcher will identyfying what kind of word
formation processes shape the jargon based on chapter two.
18
CHAPTER IV
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
This part describes each of the jargon and meanings used by judges,
mentors, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy and also the explain the term of
each jargons based on word formation process.
4.1 Jargon used by Jugdes, Mentors, and Host in Stand Up Comedy Academy
Language is an important tool that we used to talk each other in daily life.
Language becomes varieties because the kinds of differences, could be different
age, occupation, or community. Like the language variation that occurs in the
community of Stand Up Comedy Academy, which has a specific term that usually
they used in their community, that is Jargon.
Jargon is a type of language that is used in a particular context and may not
be well understood outside of it. Usually a particular occupation such a certain
trade, profession, or academic field, but any group can have jargon. as Fromkin
(470) said that Linguistic jargon, some of which is used in this book, consists of
terms such as phoneme, morpheme, case, lexicon, phrase structure rule, and so on.
Jargon is a term that is only used by certain groups, such as the jargon used
by judges, mentors, and hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy. The special term of
jargon occurs in the stand-up comedy academy, such when they give cements to the
comic performance. The researcher found 40 jargons used by judges, mentors, and
hosts in Stand Up Comedy Academy. The researcher tried to put them alphabeticall.
