CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Problem

Language is a basic tool in society. It is used to make communication.

Language allows some people to say thing to each other and express their communicative needs. Language is the cement of the society, allowing people to live, working and playing together.3 Sometimes it is used to merely keep communication channels open so that if any need arises to say something of importance a suitable channel is suitable. George Yule concludes language is system of sound, words used by humans to communicate thought and feelings.4 It means that language is the media for humans to communicate feeling and thought with other by using sounds and words.

People use language to accomplish some function such as to cooperate and interaction, people carry out these functions in a social context when people communicate with other.5 Based on the statement above, it can be concluded that language is need to communicate with other person, either verbal or nonverbal communication. Tools that community members as human individuals are thinking, feeling and willing. Thoughts, feelings, and desires tangible bam otherwise states, and it is a tool to express language.

3Victoria Fromkin, et al. An Introduction to Language. (Los Angeles: Universitity of California: 2011 ), p. 324. 4George Yule, The Study of Language, (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1988), p.3 5Abdul Chaer, Linguistik Umum, (: Rineka Cipta,1994), p. 7.

Victoria Fromkin stated that sociolinguistics is concerned with investigating the relationship between language and society with the goal of being a better understanding of the structure of language and how language function in communication.6 The definition above can be inferred that language and society is so closely related. Usually, in the informal word, young people choose a language variety which they want, they want to show intimacy in their group, in addition,

Willis says slang is the result of linguistic inventiveness, especially of young and lively persons who want fresh, original pungent, or racy terms which they can rename ideas, actions, and objects that they feel strongly about. In effect, slang is the result of combination of linguistic irreverence and a reaction against staid, stuffy, pompous, pretentious, or colorless diction. It means that slang is words that not a part of standard vocabulary and are used informally. These words are mostly used in speech and writing. Slang is important because people can know someone dialeg in both formal and informal communication. Slang can also show a person's cultures, habits, profesies in doing his job or in living his life in the community.7 It means that slang language can be tools to know the identity of someone.

In this thesis the writer is interested to analyze film the reason is contains some slang words that are ususlly used by milineal/now young generation, which the millenial used them, but they don‟t know the meaning of those words. So, by

analysis this film I want to help and reveal the meaning of those slang words. Film also communicates information and ideas, and they show people place and ways of life we might not otherwise know. Amy Villarejo stated that film is structured like a language and it is telling stories. 8 It means that film offers us of seeing and feeling that we find and Anna Powell said film is inspired product of creative team and might well stimulate person fantasies.9 It means that film is working togetherness and series of live picture in a frame where a frame is projected by projector lens in mechanic so that the live picture will be seen as if it is alive. it gives great deal of pleasure to many people who does not necessarily that they are significant from the culture and historical evidence.

Using slang language has been spread event thought in hollywood, it has been being daily language also being culture, so slang is brought or used in the film to make the story naturally in conversation.

In this film, Alex uses the slang language is to make fun and to make a secret. As example below:

Picture 110

Alex : come to get my foot outta my mouth,sweetheart.11

As seen in the picture above, it shows that Alex uses slang language in his conversation “ come to get my foot outta my mouth, sweetheart”. The sentence that used by Alex is the meaning of that sentences are Alex wold like to take the girl attention to talk with him. This is kinds of slang language in informal communication. Mean while, the next word like sweetheart is also slang and that is kinds of blend langauge.

The writer chooses film in this research for some reasons: First, this film is talking about how men just need that little push to get the woman of their dreams and how he helps them do that. All he needs is three dates and usually after that third date its love he pretty much can guarantee that. Hitch is a 2005 American romantic comedy film directed by Andy Tennant and starring . The film, which was written by Kevin Bisch, co-stars , Kevin James, and

Amber Valletta. Smith plays the main fictional character of the film, Alex Hitch

Hitchens, who is a professional dating consultant who makes a living teaching men how to woo women. The film was released on February 11, 2005 by

CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

A. Sociolinguistics

Sociolinguistics is the branch of linguistics which studies just those properties of languages and languages which require reference to social, including contextual, factors in their explanation. Miriam Meyerhoff said that the simple meaning of sociolinguistics is a study of relationship between language and society,12 it examines the way people use language in different social context and people signal aspects of their social identity. Ronal Wardhaugh added that the way people talk is influenced by the social context in which they are talking.13 It matters who can hear us and where we are talking, as well as how we are feeling.

The same message may be expressed very differently to different people. We use different styles in different context. Sociolinguistic study concerns about language and the context in which it is used, solidarity between speaker and hearer, and people‟s relative social status.

The part of sociolinguistic study that is related to this research is language variation. There are two kinds of language variation,14 first language variation that focuses on users, second language variation that focuses on uses. Language

12Miriam Meyerhoff, Introducing Sociolinguistics, (New York: Simultanooesly Publisher, 2006), p. 1 13Ronal Wardhaugh, An Introduction to Sociolinguistics, (Australia: Blackwell Publishing, 2006), Fifth Edition, p. 6 14Miriam Meyerhoff, Introducing Sociolinguistics, p. 8

variation that focuses on users explain detail about the users, like their gender, age, regional, ethnicity, social dialects and social networks. Language variation that focuses on uses explains detail about the uses of language itself like style, context, register, speech function, politeness and cross-cultural communication.15

This research discusses about the language variation that is associated not with group of language users but with situation of use. The writer explores the varieties of language that individuals in communities use in the course of daily life.

Register is the linguistic field which deals with how situational context affects our manner of speech. Register refers to a variation of a language which is determined by use. According to Oxford dictionary register is a variety of a language or a level of usage as determined by degree of formality and choice of vocabulary, pronunciation and syntax, according to the communicative purpose, social context and standing of the user.16 Guillermo Solano Flores said that register is a language varieties that are characteristic of particular situations of use.17 Registers vary along certain time and it reflect social processes. Guillermo

Solano Flores gives an example of it, people generally speak (and write) in markedly different ways in formal and informal situations. Formality and informality can be seen as opposite poles of a situational continuum along which forms of expression may be arranged.

B. Slang

Slang is informal language used by young people or in a particular social group for internal communication so the other group will not understand.

According to Hartam and Strok slang is a variety of speech characterized by newly coined and rapidly changed vocabulary, used by the young or by social and professional groups for ‟in group‟ communication and thus tending to prevent understanding by the rest of the speech community.18

Slang is something that everybody can recognize but nobody can define.

The literal meaning of slang according to the Oxford dictionary is a type of language consisting of words and phrases that are regarded as very informal, are more common in speech than writing, and are typically restricted to a particular context or group of people.19 Miriam Meyerhoff, said that slang is particularly popular among teenagers and college students in general.20 Yanchun Zhou also added that slang has some salient features, first slang is part of casual informal styles of language use, second slang is like fashions in clothing and popular music, changes quite rapidly, third specific areas of slang are often associated with a particular social group, and hence one can speak of teenage slang, underworld (criminal) slang, the slang of the drug culture and so on.21

The speaker uses slang in order to achieve social dynamics with the people to whom he/she is speaking and slang outlines social spaces, and attitudes towards

slang helps identify and construct social groups and identity.22 It means that when you use slang, you expose your ideas, your feeling, your attitude as how you want to perceive the people that talk to you and how you want those people to perceive you, to infer what you mean. Jannis K. Androutsopoulos believed that slang can just as well be playful and a joking way of rebelling against standard language to mark the difference between e.g. parents and children (in-crowd versus out- crowd), but the children do not necessarily have wicked intentions with the use of slang. He also mentions that slang is not slang until someone recognizes it to be slang. It means that the addressee must be able to recognize the speaker‟s intent and to determine that what they are hearing is slang.

Slang is probably the most famous register if compared with jargon or argot.

The different function between slang and jargon is that slang is used to show speaker‟s attitude while jargon is used by speakersand addressee who have the same profession in communicating about their profession for example two doctors in hospital talking in medical terms. Besides, argot is a type of secret or code language because it is used to hide speaker‟s intention. Example: Lame is stupid or foolish, Chill out is relaxing, having fun, Geek is someone who is generally not athletic and enjoys video games; comic books; being on the internet and etc, Nerd is an individual persecuted for his superior skills or intellect, most often people fear and envy him/her Epic is being unusually large, powerful or wonderful.

1. Characteristic Of Slang Words

Slang words began o creep into English Literature alhtought many writers and schools were fiercely againts it, saying that it was vulgar, corupted, uncultured, secret, and false, the dialect of the rabble, of beggars, of gypsie and of thieves.23

The following is the characteristics of slang language:

1. Creativity

Creativity means that slang language has cleverness, imagination, productivity and talent. It was created from a new term, so it needs creativity of the creator. The creator is encouraged to produce new terms.

The example of teenagers‟ creativity is creating slang terms from the existing words, but acquire a new meaning, which is different from its original meaning. Some of them is constructed from the kind of colors, animals, and numbers.

2. Flippant

Flippant means that slangproduced has irrelevant meaning with the context.

That makes this term considered as a rude, for instance, fucking chicken, bitch, motherfucker, and shit.

3. Fresh

It refers to slang expressions that are produced by new words, which are different from the existing word. For example, homie means close friend, walkie-talkie means a portable two-way radio, and moola means money.

4. Onomatopoeic

Slang produced by imitating certain sounds. For example:boo hoo, buzz, icky, yucky, dweeb, etc. boo hoo uses to express sadness. It is adapted from a sound of crying. 24

2. History of Slang Langguage

After the writer searches some materials or references from the books and browsing in internets that relate to slang language, the writer has assumption that slang appears for the first time in sixteenth century in Britain and at that time seem impossible that slang did not extend as widely through society then as it does today, but those early slang collections, more glossaries than dictionaries, concentrate purely on the villain‟s vocabulary. Lighter stated that there were five decades history of slang, which can be seen in those following era: 25

1. Sixteenth Century

Slang for the first time appeared in the society and became the strange

language, also only particular group using it. For example, thieves, beggar,

criminals.

25 Lighter, Random House Historical of American Slang, (New York: Radom House, 1994), p.xxi-xxix

12

2. Seventeenth Century

In this century, slang rich of metaphors or figurative language and related to

immoral action. Moreover, slang began to present in popular plays event and

put the slang language on the stage for the first time, such as; in Richard

Brome‟s comedy A fovial crew and in one of William Shakespeare‟s poem in

the word hick.

3. Eighteenth Century

The rhetoricians had established for the first time, among the pupils and

schoolmasters alike, a key element in social conceptualization of slang.

Furthermore, slang recognized as part of English vocabulary.

4. Nineteenth Century

Slang was growing, it could be seen that the intellectual produced the first

slang dictionary. The world War I and II also influenced in slang language,

such as G.I, pissed off, brass.

5. Twentieth Century

Slang became a part of spoken language and not only used by thieves or

criminals but also used by ordinary people, and slang was used in daily

conversation because simpler and easier to speak it.

3. Kinds of Slang

Slang words is formed by linguistic process that isfound in morphology study such as: coinage, compounds, acronym, clipping, back-formation, abbreviation, blends, cockney, public-house slang, workmen‟s slang, commercial, and also standard slang. From that many kinds of slang, this research only focuses

13

on the four kinds of slang wordsthat are usually used and circulated in student college‟s communication according to writer‟s experience.

According to Eric Partridge in his book “Slang, Today and Yesterday” he states: “The different kinds of slang are numerous, and I propose to treat of only the twenty four most important: after all, there are limits 12 kinds of slang”.26

In this part, the researchers only will explain some kinds of slang language.

Some of slang kinds are:

1. Society slang

According to Partridge about society slang, he said “in society and in all close corporations, group, and sections of society. Jargon tends to develop in proportion to the degree of its own exclusiveness. Society slang is concerned the spirit of universe, the world life, it also hovers, joyously, or jauntily over objects and the practice of slangster‟s own calling. With the different jargon treats that solemnity and respect the avocation it serve, but slang seldom retains respect toward it. Treats that avocation with the detached amusement that, viewed from a far, every human activity seems to invite.27

There are the examples of the society slang:

a) Snowy means over-dressed

b) Vogue means fashion or mode

c) Thou mean a thousand pound sterling.

26 Partridge Eric, Slang Today and Yesterday, (London: Routledge & Regan Paul, 1950) p.148

27 Partridge Eric, Slang Today and Yesterday, p.214

14

2. Public House Slang

As the part of kinds of slang, public house group words and phrases make up for the smallness of the recorded vocabulary by nature the subject. The definition of public house slang is considered as public house groups words and phrases make up for the smallness of the recorded vocabulary by nature the subject. It is the main, genial, cheery, materialistic, but not gross nor cynical.28

The example of public house slang are:

a) Favorite vice, means strong drink taken habitually.

b) Liquor, A publican‟s euphemism for the water they use in

adulterating beer. In liquor, means drunk.

c) Straight dringking, means dringking while standing in the bar.

3. Workmen’s Slang

Slang has a link with the public house slang. It is very closely allied to

Tradesmen‟ s slang and also considered to people‟ s activity in working. Most of the users of workmen‟ s slang are labourers either town and farm labourers.

Moreover, there is a significant difference both of them that the town labourer is more ready with their tongues and fluent with their slang than the farm labourer which is not too modern instance.29 Here are examples of Workmen‟ s slang for the town labourer :

a). Screw up means without money, therefore unable to move about at

will.

28 Partridge Eric, Slang Today and Yesterday,p.159 29 Partridge Eric, Slang Today and Yesterday, p.162

15

b). Matey means a companion in labour.

c). Brass means money, this is very general term seems to have originated

the chopper and iron industries.

4. Tradesmen’s Slang

some of the words are related to origin slang and the users are the worker too, but the difference is the Tradesmen‟ s slang considers four as typical : tailors, butchers, chemist, and builders. The tailors have the largest number of slang terms. Here are examples of Tradesmen‟ s slang for tailors:

a). House of parliament means a meeting of tailor‟ s assistant and

apprentices in the shop, especially for a serious purpose.

b). Tradesmen‟ s slang for butchers : „Turkey buyer‟ means a person of

considerable importance.

5. Slang of Commerce

This slang is used in trade and the words are closely related to the trade or commerce. According to professor Collison this slang is “of business transaction of the various exchange the man in the street will have heard of the formation trusts and ring, concerning a commodity.30 It is often use by businessman mostly used in stock exchange. Here are the examples of the slang of commerce:

a). Take the rate means to borrow stock, likewise give the rate is to lend

stock.

b). Rig means a combined effort to rise the price of stock artificially and

without regard to its merits.

30 Partridge Eric, Slang Today and Yesterday, p.167

16

c). Shunt means to buy and sell securities between two home exchanges.

6.Slang in Public School and University

In these kind students becomes the main source, because they are fresh, full of spirit to move forward for their future. In public school as in board school and private, it happened about more than two centuries, there are two kinds of slang; a slang proper and gibberish. The other kind of slang is almost impossible to generalize. For every school has its special words known to no other school.

Here are some examples of public school slang:

a). Bonse means head, for example “look out, or I‟ll fetch you a whack

across the bonse”

b). Bung means a lie, example; “everything he said is a bung”

c). What‟s the mat? Means, what is the matter?

Hitch by Andy Tennant.

4. The Function Of Slang Words

According to Allan and Burridge, there are tree different functions of slang: to address, to initiate relax conversation, and to humiliate. To Initate Relax

Conversation. a. To relax conversation

Another function is to initiate relax conversation. Sometimes the speakers prefer to use slang word rather than standard variant of vocabulary to create relax conversation. They have tendency to use slang word to initiate relax conversation in purpose of having smooth conversation in formal situation. Someone who has close relationship with other tends to use certain vocabulary in order to make the conversation run more relaxed so that they can feel more comfortable. b. To humiliate

The speakers has the tendency to express unpleasent or dislike feeling of the speakers towards someone or something by mocking them.

20

c. To Address

The first function of the use of slang words is to address. The word to address another speaker in order to maintain their close relationship. Someone who has close relationship usually tends to use informal kind of address because using formal address indicats to the speaker has distant relationship or has specific purpose with other speaker.32

C. Kind of Meaning

Geoffrey Leech said that there were seven kinds of meaning, they were;33

1. Conotative Meaning

Conntative is somehow incidental to language rather than an essential part of it, and connotative meaning is not specific to language, but is shared by other communicative systems, such as visual art and music. Connotative the word baby has can be conjured up by a drawing of a baby, or an imitation of a baby‟s cry.34

Tarigan asserts that connotative meaning is what people think about two words and find whether it is possible or impossible for the word to have two different meanings from its denotative meaning. Based on it, the meaning depends on personal interpretation. Sometimes, people have the same or different thought. 35

Chaer claims that when a word has both positive and negative sense value, the word is called a connotative meaning word. Alwasilah point out that

32 Allan, K., Burride, K., 2006 Forbidden Words: Taboo And The Cencoring Of Language. Cambride : CUP, p. 10 33 Geoffrey Leech, Semantic;The of Study Of Meaning Second Edition,(New York: Pinguin Books, 1981),p. 8 34 Geoffrey Leech, Semantic;The of Study Of Meaning Second Edition, p. 9 35 James Dickins, Associative Meaning and Scalar Implicature: A Lingguistic Semiotic Account, (University of Leeds, 2014), p. 2

21

connotation meaning is subjective, in notion that there is a shift from common meaning because it has been added by sense and certain value.Connotative meaning is the communicative value that an expression has by virtue of what it refers to, over and above its purely conceptual content. It can vary from age to age, from society to society, and from individual to individual. 36

2. Conceptual Meaning

Leech states that conceptual meaning or denotative meaning or cognitive meaning is widely assumed to be central factor in lingguistics. Communication and the most important type of meaning among the ot hers. Denotative meaning is the „reference‟ of a sentence as opposed to its „sense‟. 37

Conceptual meaning refers to the logical sense of the utterence and is recognizable as a basic component of grammatical competence. It is alternatively described as the cognitive or the denotative meaning (denatation). This is the basic or universal meaning and can be represented at the lexical level, as well as that of the clauser or simple sentence. At the lexical (lexeme) level, conceptual meaning is represented as a set of distinctive features. The relevan set of distinctive features, otherwise described as semes or semes, depends on a given semantic field. The operant features for „people‟ lexemes are human, adult, male.

38

3. Collocative Meaning Collocative meanings usually get in touch with the use of some words in the same environment . Collocative meaning consists of the associations a word

36 F. R, Palmer, Semantics,( New York Cambridge University Press, 1971), p. 34 37 Abdul Chaer, Linguistik Umum, p. 293 38 F. R, Palmer, Semantics, p. 34

22

acquires on account of the meanings of words which tend to occur in its environment. In other words, it is that part of the word-meaning suggested by the words that go before or come after a word in question. Collocative meaning is the meaning of a word produced in the specific context. As a result of conventionality of collocation, a word will produce different meanings when collocates with different words: - heavy smoker (a person who smokes a lot). 39

4. Social Meaning

Lobner states that the term social meaning does not refer to this general aspect of verbal interaction, and is thereby not to be confused with the communicative meaning of a verbal act. Rather, social meaning is on par with descriptive meaning: it is part of the lexical meaning of certain words, phrases or grammatical forms. 40

Social meaning refers to the use of language to establish and regulate social relations and to maintain social roles. This type of language use is alternatively described as social or phatic communication. In phatic communication the verbal interaction has little information value, but instead plays an essential role in oiling the wheels of social discourse. Social meaning is hence communicated through ritualistic use of language as found in greetings, apologies, blessings or condolences. Social meaning is the meaning which an

39 Abdul Chaer, Linguistik Umum, p. 293 40 Geoffrey Leech, Semantic; The Study of Meaning Second Edition, p. 9

23

expression conveys about the contexts or social circumstances of its use. It chiefly includes stylistic meaning of an word. It is the formality of the expression. 41

5. Affective Meaning

In a manner comparable to social meaning, affective meaning is only indirectly related to the conceptual representation. Affective meaning is more directly a reflection of the speaker‟s personal attitude or feelings towards the listener or the target of the word. Such feelings or attitudes are usually negative or insincere in nature. They are normally expressed through such forms of language use as insults, flattery, hyperbole or sarcasm.

Affective meaning is largely a parasitic category in the sense that to express our emotions we rely upon the mediation of other categories of meaning: conceptual, connotative, or stylistic. The level of meaning that conveys the language user‟s feelings including his attitude or evaluation in shaping his use of language is called affective meaning or emotive meaning.

6. Reflective Meaning

Reflective meaning is the meaning which arises in cases of multiple conceptual meanings, when one sense of a word forms part of our response to another sense. It is the product of people‟s recognition and imagination. The examples are: He took the drugs, Enjoy yourself.

7. Thematic Meaning

41 R Umagandhi and M Vinothini, Leech‟s Seven Types of Meaning in Semantics, International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development. Vol 04 issue 3 march, p. 71-72

24

Thematic meaning is communicated by the way in which a speaker or writer organized the massage, in terms of ordering, focus, and emphasis. It is often left, for example than an active sentence such as (1) has a different meaning from is passive equivalent (2) although in conceptual content they seem to be the same.42

Based on the explanition about it can be conclude that they are seven kinds of meaning denotation, conotation, Collocative, Social, Affective, Reflective and

Thematic meaning. But in this research the writer used two kinds of meaning, namely connotative and dennotative meaning, because the writer only find two kinds of meaning in the film Hitch by Andy Tennat.

D. Communication

Language represents the systematic means of communicating ideas or feeling by the use of sounds and symbols that have commonly understood meanings. In human communication, language is a way to deliver our ideas or feeling. Communication is a process between people to share information, ideas and feelings, Gert Rickheit and Hans Strohne said that it involves not only the spoken and written word but also body language, personal mannerisms, and style- anything that adds meaning to message.43 The process of communication is made up of various elements, which are sender and receiver, messages, channels, noise, feedback, and setting.

42 Geoffrey Leech, Semantic; The Study of Meaning Second Edition, p. 11 43Gert Rickheit and Hans Strohne, Handbook of Communication Competence, (New York: Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication, 2008), p. 6

25

There are two ways to make a conversation in communication, formal and informal. Conversation is an interactive process involving speaker and listener. As a tool of social interaction, it is essential to be able to converse well in both informal as well as formal situation. Formal conversation is the type of conversation that peopleS have in formal situations, it may include making inquiries and exchanging information at public offices, shopping, and other official work. While informal conversation involves exchanges of personal information with friends and relatives including greetings and general inquiries during social interactions and everyday informal situations. There are many the differences between formal and informal conversation: 44

The differentces of informal and formal langguage can be seen in this table below :

Formal Conversation Informal Conversation Formal content Personal and emotional content Always factual May be emotional or factual Formal words and expressions Colloquial words and expressions Accepted rules and customs No accepted rules Fixed norms of behaviour associated No fixed norms with the conduct of official matters Formal elements of conversational No formal elements Interactions Structured transition and turns Abrupt transition Always formal in style Both formal and informal style Objective approach Both objective and subjective Logically organised and structured Not always struc tured

E. Review of Related Research

In this thesis, the writer do the research about the kinds of slang word used

in the Hitch film by Andy Tennant., but there are researchers that have been found

by the writer who have discussed about slang they are.

Firstly, the student of Department of English Faculty of Cultural Studies

University Of Sumatera Utara named Wilda Rahmawati Manik by thesis

entitled “Semantic Analysis of Slang Used In Paul Movie Script.45 This research

discussed about slang words in Paul's Film Manuscript. The formulation of the

problem;(1) what is the lexical and contextual meaning of slangs used in „paul‟

movie script ? (2) what is the most dominant slangs word used in „paul‟ movie

script? (3) what is the type of semantic change that has less or more dominant for

the lang used in „paul‟ movie script?. This study uses the theory of Eble (1996) in

Explaining slang, and using Lyons (1984) theory to know the meaning

Lexical and contextual on the slang word and using Palmer's theory in

Explains the kind of change in meaning that occurs in slang words.

This research using qualitative descriptive method using the method

Documentation as a data collection technique. The data are slang words

Sourced from Paul's movie script. Based on the analysis results found that

meaning Lexical is the meaning specified in the dictionary, while the contextual

meaning Is the meaning derived from the context of the sentence of the discovery

of the word slang. The most commonly found slang word is the word fuck, followed by the word shit, gonna, and damn. All the slang words found are classified into types change of meaning. There are four types of meaning changes in the slang words, generalization (67.9%), specialization (13.5%), pejorasi

(17.3%), amelioration (1.2%).

The second thesis is Deka Susanti one of student Literature Department

(2013) of The State Institute for Islamic Studies Sultan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi.

She analyzed entitled “The Usage of Slang Words As Seen in Welcom Home

Roscoe Jenkins movie by Malcom D.Lee. in her thesis she has analyzed used

Maxim Theory and Grice‟s Theory, the purpose of this research are to find out

Slang words which were used in dialogues, to find out the time slang words were used, to find out the meaning of those slang words.46 The different Deka Susanti and the writer is Deka Susanti focused to find out Slang word used in dialogues and the meaning of those slang words in Welcom Home Roscoe Jenkins movie by

Malcom D.Lee, in contrast, is the researcher more focused to find out slang word used in Freedom Writers Movie, the types, and the reason they used it.

Thirdly, The Student of Literature Department (2006)S of The State

Institute for Islamic Studies Sultan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi named Ardani, Lili. By

Teen Magizane.47 Langguage is one of the vital tool of communication that can‟t be separated from our daily life as social community. In communicating we have to be able to adjust and manage our style of langguage depends on the condition and whom we are talking to our interlocutor. Style of langguage involves formal and informal style.

One of the most popular and often used of informal style is slang, especially by teenage and young people. Slang often used in many occasion. But in this research, the writer just discusses and focuses to the usage of slang on one of the popular teen magizane that is C‟nS (Cool‟n Smart) English Teen Magizane especially on Chit Chat Rubric.

As a matter of fact, slang has many definitions. But shortly, slang is a form of popular langguage that change or created the new word without understanding the rules of lingguistics. There are number of other terms related to slang, one of them is colloquialism that involves contraction and pronunciation.

Based on the result of the research, the writer found that C‟nS (Cool‟n

Smart) English Teen Magizane especially in Chit Chat Rubric used many

American slang word such as Buck (money), pal ( friend), etc. And also used many contractions in its writing such as wanna (want to), whaddya (what do you).

Etc.

29

Based on the example above, the writer can take the conclusion that the teen magizane is not only different from its vocabulary, but also from style of writing that used mani contractions and in fact, the colloquialism is not only appeared in oral speech but also it has been used in novel, comic, magizane, and kind of another written, especially on C‟nS (Cool‟n Smart) English Teen Magizane especially in Chit Chat Rubric.

From review related above it can be seen that the same point this research with them are on the used of the theory likes; Sociolinguistic Approach, the meaning lexical and contextual and at the same using the qualitative descriptive with the documentation as a collecting data. The difference of this research with them are on the focuses of the study were the writer focus on the kinds of slang word used by Alex, kinds of meaning of slang word used in the Hitch film by

Andy Tennant and the characters uses slang words in the Hitch film by Andy

Tennant.

CHAPTER III

METHOD OF RESEARCH

A. Design of Research

In writing this thesis, the writer uses descriptive qualitative method and descriptive research that is suitable with the aim of this research. Qualitative research may be in descriptive form. The data were collected in the form of words as a descriptive explanation than a number. The result of the research contained quotation from the data to illustrate and substantive the presentation. Descriptive research is a research which aims to describe a phenomenon accurately based on the characteristic of research.48 In this thesis, the writer uses qualitative research, where the data are analyzed through interpreting, not statistic analysis. Nyoman

Kutha Ratna stated that:

“Metode kualitatif memberikan perhatian terhadap data alamiah, data dalam hubungannya dengan konteks keberadaanya. Cara-cara inilah yang mendorong metode kualitatif dianggap sebagai multi metode sebab penelitian pada gilirannya melibatkan sejumlah besar gejala sosial yang relevan. Dalam penelitian karya sastra, misalnya, akan dilibatkan pengarang, lingkungan social di mana pengarang berada, termasuk unsur- unsur kebudayaan.”49

Its mean that, the qualitative research can be used in this research due to the qualitative method did not only involves the intrinsic aspect in literary work. But,

48John W. Creswell, Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design, (United States of America: California 1997), p. 15. 49Nyoman Kutha Ratna, Teori, Metode dan Teknik Penelitian Sastra. Cet. Ke-III edisi revisi, (: Pustaka Pelajar, 2011), p. 47.

31

it can be related with the extrinsic aspect in the literary itself. So, that is why, the qualitative method also can be said as multi method. Because, the relating of the intrinsic aspect and extrinsic aspect in the literary itself. Descriptive is: “Data yang dikumpulkan berupa kata-kata, gambar dan bukan angka-angka, hal itu disebabkan oleh penerapan metode kualitatif.”50

According to Merriam in his book also stated that “Qualitative research is planning a research project can be compared to planning for a variation trip”.51

So, qualitative method is analyzing about descriptive data and is it a process to do a research such as writer or spoken, at the person who is observed in this research, where qualitative method also analyzing about the data from outside which the data still not right. Qualitative research method is the method that rely on research through libraries that rely on data that is almost entirely from the library.

In this theory, qualitative research in research procedures which produce descriptive data as spoken words of the person or behavior being researched. Moh

Nazir stated that “Metode deskriptif adalah ini bertujuan untuk membuat deskripsi, gaambaran atau lukisan secara sistematis, faktual dan akurat mengenai fakta-fakta, sifat-sifat serta hubungan antar fenomena yang diselidiki”52. It makes easy the research to get the right data. It means that qualitative method is analyzing about descriptive data who are used documentation in this research, by using this qualitative method, the writer felt easy to analyze the film.

50Hartinis Yatim, Metodologi Penelitian Pendidikan dan Sosial Kualitatif dan Kuantitatif, (Jakarta: Pnerbit Ghalia Indonesia, 2009), p. 191. 51Sharan B. Merriam, Rualitative Research and Case Study Applications in Education, (New York City,1998), p. 3. 52Moh. Nazir, Motode Penelitian, (Bogor: Pnerbit Ghalia Indonesia, 2011), p. 54.

32

Based on those statements, it can be concluded that qualitative research is analyzing about descriptive data that is collected is in the form of the situation of the natural object. Where descriptive data such as writer or spoken, by using qualitative research the writer had a rice answer about the question in analyzing the problem in The Hitch film by Andy Tennant.

B. Sources of Data

The data is the main data directly related to the discussion of the thesis.

The data in this research are taken from The Hitch film, a film which was

directed by Andy Tennant February 11, 2005, with the duration 00:56:59

minutes. The writer use the script, dialogues and picture on screen. The writer

also uses resources in writing proposal indirectly but closely related to the

discussion of the thesis, the data which support this research such as some

internet and cyber data, books, dictionaries, new papers, and the other source

that have correlation with the research.53

C. Technique of Data Collection

In an effort to get the data and fact, in this research the writer uses documentation technique, the writer uses some documents that have correlation or support the problem of the research, because this research is descriptive that is why the writer describes and analyzes the data that has been found in The Hicth film to answer of the problems that has been formulated in the formulation of the problem.

53Tim Penyusun, Pedoman Penulisan Skripsi, (Jambi: Fakultas Adab-Sastra da Kebudayaan Islam, 2011), p. 14.

33

The instrument used in this study is a document analysis guide compiled based on the theoretical basis of the type of slang, type of meaning and function of slang. Guidelines for analyzing documents relate to the criteria of a data so that it can be included in certain classifications. The document analysis guide grid can be seen in the appendix III.

The writer has some steps in collecting the data, in order to make this research more specific. The steps in collecting data: a. Watching the film

The writer collects all data from any sources which are closely related to

the aim of the research and also the writer watches the film repeatedly and

comprehensively for some senses, dialogues, and symbol that exist in the The

Hicth film and articles in the cyber data as many as possible which show a

form of problem. b. Reading the film script

After the writer watches the film, the writer Reads the data about salng

langguages repeatedly, after getting all important sources, the writer reads it to

make sure that the data are correlated with the research. c. Marking the words or sentence

Marking on the words or sentences and all the important statements and

information, as well as afterwards, making a note of data. After reading the

sources carefully, the writer marks any important statements to make the writer

is easier to analyze process for the research. d. Identifying and classifying data

34

Identifying and classifying the data, after finding all the data completely,

the writer processed the data to analyze them. Finally, the writer makes a good

arrangement for the thesis proposal itself as the last in finalizing research.

D. Technique of Data Analysis

After collecting the data, the writer analyzes the data. In qualitative research, technique analysis data uses to answer the formulation of the problem in analysis data, the writer uses a technique of data analysis. The writer has several steps from the data analysis, in order to make this research more specific.

According to Susan Stainback, “Data analysis is critical to the qualitative research process. It is to recognition, study, and understanding of interrelationship and concept in your data that hypotheses and assertions can be developed and ecaluated”.54 Nyoman Kutha Ratna stated that “Sesuai dengan namanya analisis isi terutama berhubungan dengan isi komunikasi baik secara verbal maupun non verbal…55 In line with this statement, the writer uses the method. According to

Nyoman Kutha Ratna:

“Isi dalam metode analisis terdiri dari atas dua macam, yaitu isi laten dan isi komunikasi. Isi laten adalah isi yang terkandung dalam dokumen dan naskah, sedangkan isi komunikasi adalah pesan yang terkandung sebagai komunikasi yang terjadi. Isi laten adalah isi sebagaimana dimasudkan oleh penulis, sedangkan isi komunikasi adalah sebagaimana terwujud dalam hubungan naskah dengan konsumen.”56 In this research, the writer uses technique descriptive analysis because this research is descriptive. It is way the writer described, analyzed the data that has been found in the script The Hicth film to find the answer the formulation of the

54Sugiyono, Metode Penelitian Kuantitatif Kualitatif dan R & D, p. 244. 55Nyoman Kutha Ratna, Teori, Metode dan Teknik Penelitian Sastra, p. 48. 56Nyoman Kutha Ratna, Teori, Metode dan Teknik Penelitian Sastra, p. 50.

35

problems that have been formulated. The writer has some steps in analyzing the data, in order to make this research more specific. The steps are:

a. Identifying the classified data

The writer identified the data and made assumptions or finds the slang

language are used in the film and some reasons he used it in The Hicth

film.The writer classified the pictures and dialogues the slang language are

used in the film which has correlated with the source and combined in The

Hicth film. Data presentation is a process of organizing data so that it is

easily analyzed and concluded. Presentation of data in research can be in the

form of narrative descriptions and can be interspersed with images.

Presentation of data in this study begins by categorizing data into data

presentation tables. To facilitate data search, each data is coded differently.

Society slang coded SS, Public house slang coded PS.

b. Describing and Explaining

The writer described the data about the slang language are used in the film

and the writer explans data about the slang language in The Hicth film.

c. Analyzing the data with the theory

The writer analyzed, described about the slang language are used in the film

and the writer analyzed data about the slang language in The Hicth film base

on Fromkin‟s theory about kinds of slang.

d. Making the conclusion

36

Conclusion is the result of analyzing that answers the research problem based on data analyzing. The conclusion is presented in descriptive or in the form of sentence. This phase is last phase of research. The writer concludes the result of analysis and the answer the formulation of problem in the form of descriptive data.

37

CHAPTER IV

FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS

This chapter represents the finding and analysis of the data, analyzing through the words mean analyzing the words of the text of a story, another principle of analyzing the character are the actions of each characters to behave according to their characteristic in the story in this study the writer chose the theory of slang language and meaning for this study discusses. Based on the findings of the data, exposing data obtained, and discussing in accordance with the theory , it can be concluded the following results:

A. Kinds of Slang Words Used in the Hitch Film

The writer has found eighteen slang words used in the Hitch film and has mentioned above. Then , the writer classifies these wrods based on kind of slang word. There are two kinds of slang words used in the Hitch film, they are:

B. Suggestion

After draw some conclusions, the writer would like to give some suggestion that are hopefully having a meaning for all lecturer and students especially in

English Literature Departmentand also general reader. The writer realize that this research is far from being perfect because of the researchs‟s knowledge.

For the student of English Literature Department of Islamic State

University STS Jambi may use Hitch Film by Andy Tennant as a reference for giving insights about the other side of the slang language, and influence to more attractive in literature.

For other research, this also can be used as refrences by other University students who are interested in literary study on Hitch Film by Andy Tennant based on sociolinguistics approach.

For those who like watching comedy movies, I consult to watch Hitch movies because in this film not only for comedy, there are lessons that can be learned from films such as helping others without waiting for anything.

APPENDIX I

Synopsis of Hitch film

Alex "Hitch" Hitchens (Will Smith) is a professional "date doctor" who coaches other men in the art of wooing women, with a focus on long-term relationships. He is very successful at what he does. While coaching one of his clients, Albert Brennaman (Kevin James) - who is smitten with a client of his investment firm, celebrity Allegra Cole () - Hitch finds himself falling for Sara Melas (Eva Mendes). Sara is a gossip columnist and workaholic.

While Albert and Allegra's relationship continues to progress, Hitch finds it difficult to initiate a dialogue with Sara, finding that none of his romantic methods is working on her. Throughout the entire process, he keeps his career secret, claiming to be a generic "consultant."

Hitch meets with Vance Munson (Jeffrey Donovan), a shallow chauvinist attempting to enlist Hitch to help him land a one-night stand with Casey Sedgewick (Julie Ann Emery), Sara's coworker and best friend.

Although Hitch refuses to help, Vance misleads Sara into believing that he has used Hitch's services.

After finding out Hitch's true identity, Sara publishes an exposé, causing

Allegra and Albert to break up and Hitch's reputation to suffer. At a speed dating cafe that Hitch sneaks into, Sara and Casey confront Hitch and cite Vance as their source. Hitch explains that not only did he refuse to work with him -

Vance's personality type is why women protect themselves - but that same

92

protection also unintentionally made establishing genuine relationships difficult enough to create a demand for Hitch's services.

Hitch then tries to salvage Albert and Allegra's relationship. He confronts

Allegra, and realizes that he doesn't really do anything significant besides giving his clients confidence and allowing them to get the attention of the women, and that most of his customers, particularly Albert, really were successful just being themselves. Allegra reconciles with Albert. The film ends with Albert and Allegra getting married as well as Hitch and Sara resuming their relationship.171
