CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. The Background Of the Study
Language is a system of symbol thought which people communicate.
Language used to communicate with others, because human cannot live alone
that’s why people need to communicate to understand each other. There are some
variations in language so that the speakers do not speak in the same way to the
listeners in all situations.
Slang is a type of language that consists of words and phrases that usually
used in informal situation used by particular group. Kipfer (2007) in his book
Dictionary of American Slang “Slang is language that has little to do with the
main aim of language, the connection of sounds with ideas in order to
communicate ideas—rather, it is an attitude, a feeling, a verbal action.”
Nowadays, slang usually used by teenagers or student in daily
conversation and in popular media. By using slang, teenagers feel free in
conversation with their community, every time and everywhere without anyone
who understands the meaning. According to Alicantina (1994: 201-12) in his book
Youth and Student Slang in British and American English says that slang is an
area of lexis in a permanent state of flux consisting of vivid and colorful words
and phrases which characterize various social and professional groups, especially
when these terms are used for in-group communication.
Slang provides and reinforces social identity but it is also used in society at
large to achieve an air of informality and relaxation. Because of its nature and the
1
2
multiplicity of its aims, slang is a meeting point for people working in
different fields, lexicologists, sociolinguists, psychologists, and even for the lay
public.
Slang also included as in group vocabulary that certain subclasses in
society like professional beggars, criminals, drug addicts, and other groups
operating. Of all social groups, the young are the most often to the use and
renovation of slang and unconventional language. Slang israrely the first choice of
careful writers or speakers or anyone attempting to use language for formal,
persuasive, or business purposes. Nonetheless, expressions that can be called
slang or daily conversations a major part of American communication in movies,
television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and informal conversation. That’s why
it’s very useful to know and learn more about slang and informal language in
order to understand what the speakers say and know how the processes for
forming the slang that we called as slang word formation.
According to Maitland (1981), slang is rarely the first choice of careful
writers or speakers or anyone attempting to use language for formal, persuasive,
or business purposes. Nonetheless, expressions that can be called slang or daily
conversations a major part of American communication in movies, television,
radio, newspapers, magazines, and informal conversation. That’s why it’s very
useful to know and learn more about slang and informal language in order to
understand what the speakers say and know how the processes for forming the
slang that we called as slang word formation.
3
The slang is usually used by American people, because they have a
freedom to use the language. It’s different with British people who usually used
standard and formal English. There are some most popular slang used in
American people, “dude” “man up”, “Freak out”. The Slang words will easily find
in song lyric, daily conversations and movie. Burke (1995) says in his book How
To Speak and Understand American Slang write that slang encompasses "secret"
words and idioms that are consistently used in books, magazines, television,
movies, songs, American homes, etc. and generally are reserved only for native
speakers.
Movie is a recording of moving images that tells a story and that people
watch on a screen or television. Movies are shown on pay television or cable
television, and sold or rented on DVD disks or videocassette tapes, so that people
can watch the movies at home. The researcher will describe about slang used in
“Kick Ass II” English Movie. Because there are many slang words that used in
this movie. For the most popular example slang word that used in this movie is
“bitch”. That word usually used by teenager in this movie, in all conversation
especially in informal situation. Beside that this movie also tells the story about
teen’s life in America, as we know that American people usually used slang.
B. The Problem of the Study

formulated as the following:
4
1. What are the slang words are used in “Kick Ass II” English movie?
2. What are the types of slang word formation process are used in “Kick Ass
II” English Movie?
3. What is the dominant word formation process is used in “Kick Ass II”

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
A. Conclusions
The researcher concluded that:
1. Some the slang words that used in “Kick Ass II” English movie are: Bitch,
dude, fuck, guys, damn, sucks, cool, shit, guys, buddy, asshole, wanna,
gonna, „cause, balls, what‟s up?, the hell, gotta, holy shit, badass, NFL.
2. Based on the theory of Yule (1985:52) there are ten types of word
formation process, but the researcher only found seven types of them used
for forming slang in the first 45 minutes “Kick Ass II” English movie.
They were, Coinage, Compounding, Clipping, Conversion, Derivation,
Acronym, and Multiple processes.
3. The dominant type of word formation process in the first 45 minutes “Kick
Ass II” English movie was Coinage with 49 utterances (45,4%) then
followed by Clipping with 45 utterances (41,7%), then Derivation with 5
utterances (4,6%) and Multiple Process with 4 utterances (3,7%),
Compounding with 3 utterances (3,8%), and then Conversion and
Acronym with 1 utterance (0,9%).
B. Suggestions
1. Slang word is usually used by teenager in America in daily conversation
and also in the movie. The most people in Indonesia loved to watch the
movie from Hollywood because that movie gave the trend fashion, and
have good story or good plot and attracted story in the world especially
from teenager in Indonesia. That‟s why the listeners needed to know how
do these words formed because slang could be came from the old to the
new uses. That‟s important for giving the listeners a clear explanation so
that the listeners would not make a mistake in understanding the meaning
of those slang words that usually found in movie.
2. This writing could be an additional material for other researchers who are
interested or needed to study about Slang and know how the process for
forming the slang word indeed.
