ABSTRACT

TESALONIKA, TORES. The Types and Purposes of Swear Words in Good Will Hunting Movie. Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Sanata Dharma University, 2017.

Language is an important medium to communicate something to others, but there are some words we should and should not say in daily conversations. Those words which should not be said in daily conversation are called taboo words. Nowadays, the reality is that taboo words can be found and heard easily. We can find taboo words people use to swear in the daily life. Although taboo words are used to swear, it does not mean that all taboo words are swear words, because taboo words used to swear cannot retain the literal meaning in taboo word. The study aims to analyze the uses of swear words which are used in Good Will Hunting. Good Will Hunting is chosen because it provides social stratification, so it will reflect human being’s life. Moreover, the most important is that it has many swearwords, so it will be more varied to analyze. Therefore, the objectives of the study are to identify the types of the uses of swear words and to find out the purposes of swear word which are expressed in Good Will Hunting. This study is a library research, because the topic is too broad and needs to be narrowed. The research takes purposive random sampling as a sampling method. Sample data will be taken randomly from each type of swear word by considering the number of swear words of each type of swear word to find out the characteristics of data. It also applies descriptive research method in analyzing the data to answer the question why and how phenomena happen by explaining the situation. Pragmatic approach is used to find out the speaker’s meaning so that the reasons why people swear in the context are understandable. Based on the analysis about types of swear words, Good Will Hunting has 6 of 7 types found. There are copulative term, excretory term, religious matter, body function term, animal term, and mother in law. Related to the purposes of the use of swear words, there are 4 of 5 purposes of swearing found in Good Will Hunting. They are insulting people, provoking people, emphasizing certain things, and showing casualness. Based on the research result, copulative term can be used in insulting, provoking, emphasizing, and showing casualness. Excrematory term and body function are to insult, emphasize, and show casualness. Animal term and mother in law are to show casualness. Religious matter is to emphasize and show casualness.

ABSTRAK

TESALONIKA, TORES. The Types and Purposes of Swear Words in Good Will Hunting Movie. Yogyakarta: Program Studi Sastra Inggris, Fakultas Sastra, Universitas Sanata Dharma, 2017.

Bahasa merupakan media untuk berkomunikasi dengan sesama, namun terdapat beberapa kata yang bisa dan tidak bisa kita ucapkan dalam percakapan sehari-hari. Kata yang tidak seharusnya diucapkan tersebut adalah kata tabu. kenyataannya, kata tabu ini justru dapat kita dengar dan temukan dengan mudah sekarang ini. Kita dapat menjumpai kata tabu untuk mengumpat dikehidupan sehari-hari. Walaupun kata tabu digunakan untuk mengumpat, namun bukan berarti bahwa semua kata tabu merupakan kata umpatan karena kata tabu yang digunakan untuk mengumpat tidak mempertahankan makna harafiah pada kata tabu tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penggunaan kata umpatan yang digunakan dalam film Good Will Hunting. Good Will Hunting dipilih karena memiliki stratifikasi sosial sehingga film tersebut dapat merefleksikan kehidupan manusia. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi jenis- jenis penggunaan kata umpatan dan mencari tahu tujuan penggunaan kata umpatan yang diutarakan dalam Good Will Hunting. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kepustakaan karena topik terlalu besar dan butuh untuk dipersempit. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik pengambilan sampel secara acak dan sengaja sebagai metode pengambilan sampel. Itu berarti data sampel akan dipilih secara acak dari setiap jenis kata umpatan dengan mempertimbangkan jumlah setiap kata umpatan dari masing-masing jenis kata umpatan untuk mengetahui karakteristik data. Penelitian ini juga mengaplikasikan teknik penelitian deskriptif dalam menganalisis data untuk menjawab pertanyaan tentang apa dan bagaimana fenomena terjadi dengan menjelaskan situasi. Pendekatan pragmatik digunakan untuk menemukan maksud pembicara supaya alasan mengapa orang-orang mengumpat dalam konteks dapat dimengerti. Berdasarkan analisis mengenai jenis kata umpatan, Good Will Hunting menggunakan 6 dari 7 jenis kata umpatan yang ditemukan yaitu istilah aktivitas seksual, istilah ekskresi, masalah keagamaan, istilah fungsi tubuh, istilah hewan, dan istilah mother in law. Berdasarkan tujuan penggunaan kata umpatan, ada 4 dari 5 fungsi penggunaan kata umpatan yang ditemukan yaitu untuk menghina, memprovokasi, menekankan hal tertentu, dan menunjukan keadaan informal. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian istilah seksual digunakan untuk menghina, memprovokasi, menekankan dan menunjukkan keadaan yang informal. Istilah ekskresi dan fungsi tubuh untuk menghina, menekankan dan menunjukkan keadaan yang informal. Istilah hewan dan mother in law untuk menunjukkan keadaan yang informal. Masalah keagamaan untuk menekankan sesuatu dan menunjukkan keadaan yang informal.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study

Language is an important medium to communicate something to others.

Human being can establish conversations through language, in order that the communication runs smoothly. In the daily conversation, human beings need to communicate using language, but not all words we can say. There are some words we should and should not say in daily conversations. Those words called taboo words.

According to Hughes, taboo means sacred or untouchable which is taken from Tongan (2006: 462). Because of that, the uses of taboo words are prohibited for general. Every culture has something which is sacred or humbled, but then those words are always associated with impolite and inappropriate language in the society, for example is like a taboo word which is related to sex. That is also supported by Allan and Burridge (2006: 2-3) who state that taboo words are prohibited to say because it can make the value of a particular culture ruined. The concept of taboo in different culture is different, but they have same concept that taboo words are prohibited to say because it is impolite. Moreover, it will oppose manners and politeness in society.

Nowadays, taboo words can be found and heard easily. We can find taboo words are used to swear in the daily life. Although taboo words are used to swear, it does not mean that all taboo words are swear words. According to Karjalainen,

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

swear words are a part of taboo words, but not all taboo words are considered as swear words (2002: 18). However, when taboo words are used for swearing, swear word cannot be interpreted literally. It is because swear words are used in an emotive sense to express attitudes and emotion (Anderson and Trudgill, 1992: 53).

Each swear word represents more than the literal meaning they can convey (Pinker,

2007:12)

Swear words are the commonest way to express or show strong emotions since swear words can represent them, especially for angry and frustrated feeling.

Because of that, those taboo words cannot be interpreted literally when those are used for swearing. Besides, swear words are not only to express a negative kind, but also a positive kind, to express amazement and to show closeness for examples.

Everyone is getting familiar with swear words not only in the daily life, but also in the communication media such as movies, songs, poems, and newspapers, etc. But then, this present undergraduate thesis will focus and analyze one of the movies in accordance with the use of swear words. Movie is chosen because it reflects human being’s life. One of the movies is Good Will Hunting.

Good Will Hunting is a 1997 American movie by Matt Damon and Ben

Affleck. This movie talks about Will Hunting's life. Will Hunting is a janitor at

M.I.T (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), but a prodigy in mathematics. Will who is a violence victim in his childhood, and then he has troubles with the law because of his past. Because of his behavior, he has to enter into the jail. Professor

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

Lambeau offers a help so that he can go out of jail if he wants agree his ask to get counseling from a therapist. It is done so that he can find direction in his life.

Good Will Hunting movie is chosen because there are many swear words a researcher can find out during a process of delivering the message or idea in the conversation. Because of that, the data are more varied here. This varied data would be profitable because the analysis also would be varied. This varied analysis would enrich readers' comprehension later related to the topic a researcher has. The varied types of swear words encourage the researcher to find out the reasons why swear words are used in the movie.

Researcher is interested to analyze swearing expression in Good Will

Hunting movie because people in the movie use those expressions quite a lot.

Because those expressions are used very intensively, so the occurence is very high.

Because of the high occurences, a researcher wants to observe the meaning and the function in the conversation.

Since swear words cannot be interpreted literally, pragmatic approach will be used here. It makes the researcher easy to understand a context, so that the researcher will know why swear words are used in this movie. Pragmatics would help a researcher to find out the speaker’s meaning so that a researcher could understand why swear words are used here.

According to Yule, to understand the reason swear words are chosen in the contexts, the roles of pragmatics are needed in this case because pragmatics is the study of the meaning based on the context (1996: 3). Meaning to say, a speaker's

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

intention should be understood so that a hearer or reader could catch a speaker's intention. This is not easy to understand what a speaker or a writer means because the fact that we do not always know what they think or what their perspective about something makes us misunderstand. Because of that, pragmatics would help a researcher to look for the hidden meaning so that a researcher could follow a speaker's intention in the conversation. Finding out the reasons swear words are used, this pragmatic approach will be appropriately used so that the uses of swear words are understandable.

B. Problem Formulation

The problems are formulated as follows:

1. What types are the swear words expressed in Good Will Hunting?

2. What purposes are the swear words expressed in the movie Good Will Hunting?

C. Objectives of the Study

Objectives are the way for the researcher to focus on the problems a researcher arranges and wants to be answered. Based on the problem formulations, the first objective of the study is to identify the types of swear words. The varied swear words which are uttered by the actors and actresses in Good Will Hunting movie provide different types of swear words based on a particular theory a researcher applies.

Besides, a researcher also tries to find out the purpose the use of swear words in Good Will Hunting through the functions of swear words. Thus, the

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

researcher will determine the purpose of use of swear words by providing the context in Good Will Hunting.

D. Definition of Term

In order to avoid the confusion of words which are used to express what the researcher is talking about based on the ideas the researcher wants to convey to the readers, the researcher wants to give the definition of the following words based on my focus in my thesis paper.

Taboo Words. According to Hughes, it refers to something avoided to say in the general use because it will be hardly received by the society (2006: 462).

Swear words. Swear words are a part of taboo words, but not all taboo words are swear words (Karjalainen, 2002: 18). Anderson and Trudgill (1992: 53) state that swear word has three criteria: it contains taboo word, it does not retain a literal meaning, and it is emotive language.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

A. Review of Related Studies

The study about swear word is not a new study here. Some studies that are related to this present undergraduate thesis need to mention here. It reviews the relation and the differences between the present undergraduate thesis and the both undergraduate theses. All of the reviews of related studies below are taken from the undergraduate theses:

1. A research by Adityo Prawinanto “A Sociolinguistic Analysis of the Swear

Words in the Antologi Rasa Novel written by Ika Natassa."

In his writing, Prawinanto tries to give the deeper understanding to the non- native English speakers and also English learners through The Antologi Rasa Novel about the use of swear words that are appropriate based on the aim and the reason why the main characters in this novel do swearing. He hopes that the non-native speakers and also English learners would understand how the way to use swear words based on the proper time and place. In his writing, he classifies some parts of words that are English swear words. Thus, he classifies those English swear words into their types and aims based on the Montagu's theory in Karjalainen for the aims and Anderson and Trudgil's theory for the types of swear words.

The similarities between Prawinanto's thesis and the present undergraduate thesis are located in the object, swear words. Moreover, the ways Prawinanto analyzes the data are also the same with this present undergraduate thesis. He

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

classifies some parts of words that are English swear words in the Antologi Rasa novel first. After that, he determines the types and the aims or motives based on the theories.

The differences between Prawinanto's thesis and this present undergraduate thesis are the objects of analysis. This present researcher analyzes an American movie, Good Will Hunting, while Prawinanto analyzes a novel, Antologi Rasa.

Moreover, related to swear words, Prawinanto used sociolinguistic approach to analyze the swear words. Meanwhile, the researcher uses pragmatic approach to analyze the use of swear words. The last, we use difference theories. Prawinanto uses the Montagu's theory in Karjalainen for the aims and Anderson and Trudgil's theory for the types of swear words, while a researcher uses Wardhaugh’s theory in Halimah to classify types of swear words and Pinker’s theory to determine the purpose of the use of swear words.

2. Maria Gishella Ajeng Puspitasari “The Analysis of Swear Words in Bad

Boys II Movie by Michael Bay.”

In her writing, Puspitasari analyzes swear words which are uttered by Mike

Lawrey as a main character. Since swear words can be used to express speaker’s mind and feeling, her research has a purpose to observe how Mike Lawrey uses swear words in this movie. To observe the use of swear words which are expressed by Mike Lawrey, she tries to look for and then determine types and purposes of swear words. She uses Jay’s theory to classify taboo words. Meanwhile, she uses

Pinker’s theory to analyze how people use swear words.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

The similarities between this present undergraduate thesis and Puspitasari’s thesis are we use the same approach to solve the problem formulations, pragmatics.

Besides, object we analyze is same. That is the conversations through the script in the movie. We also analyze about the use of swear words. It is meant so that the readers will get knowledge about how to use swear words in the daily activities through types and function of swear words. Not only that, the ways we analyze swear words are same. The sequences to solve the problem formulations begin with determination types and then purposes of swear words. Lastly, we use the same theory to determine the purpose of the use of swear words.

The differences between this present undergraduate thesis and Puspitasari’s thesis are the title of movie. This present undergraduate thesis chooses Good Will

Hunting as an object, while Puspitasari’s thesis is Bad Boys II Movie by Michael

Bay. Besides, this present thesis analyzes the use of swear word by all of actors and actresses in a movie, but Puspitasari’s thesis only analyzes swear words which are expressed by Mike Lawrey as a main character in that movie. We use difference theory to analyze types of swear words. The present thesis uses Wardhaugh’s theory, while Puspitasari’s uses Jay’s theory.

The next, in this present undergraduate thesis, a researcher would try to develop the study about swear words topic in Good Will Hunting movie. This present undergraduate thesis analyzes swearwords by all actors and actresses. Since the role they play have different backgrounds and interests by using swear words, so the discussions will be various. Besides, this present undergraduate thesis also tries to see the context to understand the use of swearwords, it makes the readers

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

easier to follow the story. But, in the end, these both undergraduate theses really help the present researcher to know the way theories are applied.

B. Review of Related Theories

Some theories related to my topic are needed here to answer my problem formulations the researcher mentioned previously in the first chapter. Since these theories below would help the researcher, it would be discussed here.

1. Pragmatics

Making the readers understand easily, the theory a researcher uses to resolve the problem formulations researcher has mentioned before, the researcher provides pragmatics theory by Leech. It is to help readers understand how to analyze the data. According to Leech (1983:6), pragmatics is as the study related to the meaning of what speakers want to say based on the context. Meaning to say that this theory will look for the speaker’s intention based on the situation happen.

This theory will find out what the speakers are talking about and what the purposes of the conversation are.

According to Yule (1996:3), pragmatics is a speaker meaning study. The meaning that is communicated by speakers and interpreted by hearers. The analysis is about what speakers mean by the utterances they say. Pragmatics is a contextual meaning study. The analysis is about the relation between what speakers mean by their utterances in the certain context and how the context can influence what the speakers say. Pragmatics is a study of how to get more information than is said.

The listeners can have assumptions from the utterances the speakers say. Meaning

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

to say, this study explores the possible meanings from what is unsaid by their utterances that are communicated.

2. Taboo Words a. Definition

Gu and Lu (2002: 264) state that taboo comes from Tongan and means

"holly" or "untouchable" that is still exist in the cultures. Something which is sacred or humbled will be prohibited to touch and even to talk about. It tends to act, object or relationship that is avoided by the society. Because those are even forbidden to talk about, people learn what word "should" and "should not" say in the society based on the norms in their place later on. Akmajian (2004: 303) emphasizes that taboo words should be prevented or even not be applied completely in different place or polite condition. It is done so that there is no misunderstanding among people who have different culture and value about the certain words which are considered as taboo words. Moreover, taboo words will oppose to social value. It can cause embarrassment and also offensiveness. b. Classification

According to Wardhaugh (1992: 236), the classifications of taboo words come from:

(i) Copulative Term

It comes from "couple" term which means that it is a combination of two people from different genders who are married. Then, it becomes copulative which means something related to sexual intercourse included anal or oral intercourse between two different genders (sexual activities) such as fuck.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

(ii) Excretory Term

It comes from "excrete" which means to separate and eliminate the solid waste matter through the anus. It means that something that comes out of human body (human being’s excretion) such as shit.

(iii) Body Function Term

It is about sex organ of human being for the next generation in the production system (human being’s genital) such as ass.

(iv) Sexual Irregularities

This is related to a temporary sex partner. Women usually become the object of this term such as whore.

(v) Animal Term

This is related to the animals, the behavior of animals and religious belief about some animals that are assumed that they are close to God in the prehistoric times such as bitch.

(vi) Mother in Law

This is related to a woman who has affair with some partners. She has sexual intercourse, but she likes to change the partners to do sexual activity such as motherfucker.

(vii) Religious Matter

This is related to something religious or God such as ghost.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

3. Swear Words a. Definition

Swear words are taboo words (Moore, 2012: 3). This is also according to

Jay and Anschewitz who quote the theory of swearing by Jay, mentions that (2008:

268) swearing uses taboo language to express the speaker's emotional feeling and communicate it to the hearers.

Swear words are a part of taboo words, but not all taboo words are considered as swear words (Karjalainen 2002: 18), for example, excrement is taboo word, but excrement is not swear word. Meanwhile, shit is included both taboo word and swear word (Pinker, 2007: 357). According to Pinker, the reason why they are different because excrement has a connotation which is more unpleasant than shit in which excrement is filth’s description and shit can be used as an idiom and casual context.

According to Anderson and Trudgill (1992: 53), swear words have three criteria, they are: i. Swear words contain taboo words.

Taboo words are generally related to sex and excrement, for example. That is because sex is considered as something vulgar and embarrassing in the society. ii. Swearing do not retain a literal meaning.

When taboo word retain their literal meaning for swearing, it cannot be said as swearing. When taboo words are used to swear, taboo words cannot be interpreted literally. The literal meaning must be lost.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

iii. Swearing is emotive language.

The main function of swearing is to express speaker’s feeling and/or attitude.

b. Functions

According to Pinker (2007:19), swear words have five functions as follows: i. To insult people

This swearword function also can be said as abusive swearing because the function of abusive swearing is to insult someone. People use taboo words to insult someone else that will be directed to someone else. It is done to make someone affected emotionally, for example, you motherfucking son of bitch! ii. To respond something bad spontaneously

This swear word function can be said as cathartic swearing, because the function of cathartic swearing is to respond something bad spontaneously. People use it to give emotional response because there is something bad happens to them suddenly. Cathartic swearing occurs to express anger, surprise, and pain which are not directed to anyone, for instance, when someone hits their own thumb with hammer, they will yell “fuck!” or “damn!” spontaneously. This is different with abusive swearing which is derived to someone else to express their emotional need.

Cathartic swearing is not directed to someone else. iii. To provoke people

It is also called dysphemitic. It is different with euphemism. Euphemism is used to express something tabooed in an acceptable way socially, but dysphemitic

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

swearing is used to express something ordinary where an unacceptable word in social is used to give intensity. Because of that, the uses of taboo words force listeners to think negative and provocative. This swearing is usually used when people talk about another who is not present during conversation. In euphemism, people will replace the use of taboo such as sex term. They will tend to replace

“have sex” to “make love and sleep together” so that it sounds better in an acceptable way socially. People will replace something mundane such as “he left her” to “he fucks her” in dysphemitic. iv. To emphasize certain things

It is also said as emphatic swearing. People use taboo words to emphasize something. It is meant to express the stronger feeling, for example, you are fucking amazing! Fucking is to emphasize the amazement about something or someone. v. To show casualness

People use taboo words in a casual situation. They swear without really thinking the literal meaning of it. It shows the closeness with others. Moreover, it is to show that the situation is informal, for example, someone says “what’s up, motherfucker?” to their friend, but they will never mean the literal meaning of taboo word itself.

C. Theoretical Framework

Taboo words theory is needed to help researcher to solve the first problem formulation about type of swear words. This theory will help researcher later to differ taboo words and the next theory about swear words. Because as we know

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

that swear words are also taboo words, although not all taboo words are swear words. When selecting taboo words data which contain swear words, this theory will be applied.

After selecting taboo words, swear words theory will also contribute to solve the first problem formulation about type of swear words. Swear word theory about criteria of swear words will help researcher to identify whether taboo words are used to swear or not in the conversation in Good Will Hunting. The way a researcher applies this theory when a researcher get the conversations data which contain taboo words, then this theory will be applied to find conversation which is using swear words.

After that, the theory of types of swear words will be used here. This theory will be used to solve the first problem formulation. This theory will contribute to differ the use of swear words into every type. Here, a researcher begins to classify or determine every swear word datum. The use of swear words will be differed from one type to another type through this theory. After having swear words data, this theory about type of swear words will be applied.

To solve the second problem formulation, the theory about swear word functions will be used here. This theory will be helpful to answer the second problem formulation related to the purpose of swear words. This theory will contribute to find out why the speakers employ the use of swear words in the conversations. What reason the speakers want to convey through the use of swear words and why the speakers choose to use swear word to respond or transfer something in the mind. By this theory, the second problem formulation can be

answered. After knowing the types, a researcher will apply this theory about the swear words function into the conversations data.

Lastly, pragmatics theory would help a researcher to answer the second problem formulation. Before determining the functions of swear words, the researcher will apply this theory about pragmatics theory to understand the context.

It is useful to help researcher to determine the purpose why swear words are chosen in the conversation in Good Will Hunting. The researcher has to learn the context in the conversation before the researcher can determine and explain the purpose the use of swear word itself.

METHODOLOGY

A. Object of the Study

Data were in the form of utterances that are conveyed in the movie. The utterances among speakers that were words, clauses, sentences, sentences in the conversation containing the use of swear words in a 1997 American movie, Good

Will Hunting. To understand the context, there would be dialog in the data. The data were taken from Good Will Hunting movie by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

B. Approach of the Study

In order to analyze the two questions in the previous chapter the researcher has arranged about types of swear words and purposes of the use of swear words in the conversation, the researcher uses pragmatic approach. Pragmatics has many definitions related to what people want to explore in the conversation. There are four definitions. First, pragmatics is contextual meaning study. Meaning to say, this study related to the interpretation of what people mean based on a particular context and how the context influences what is said by the speakers. Second, this study is about implied meaning. Meaning to say, this study explores how a great deal of what is unsaid is recognized as part of what is communicated. Third, pragmatics is the expression of relative distance study. This perspective raises the question of what determines the choice between the said and unsaid. On the

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

assumption of how close or distant the hearer is, speakers determine how much need to be said. Last, pragmatics is the study of speaker meaning (Yule, 1996:3-4).

The definition of pragmatics as the study of the meaning of what speaker means to be is the most appropriate one to explore the topic in the present undergraduate thesis. It is related to the object research here about the use of swear words in the conversation between the speakers and listeners in a 1997 American movie, Good Will Hunting. It is because in pragmatics, this approach would explore deeper about what the speaker’s mean is by providing swear words. The context will be explored deeply to understand speaker’s intention of the use of swear words.

Since my undergraduate thesis tries to analyze deeper the purposes why the speakers in Good Will Hunting choose to use swear words, this pragmatic approach is used. To understand the speakers' intention so that the purposes the speakers use swear words could be determined through this pragmatic approach. Besides, the next, this approach could identify the conversation whether the speakers use taboo words for swearing or not.

Here, pragmatic approach works in meaning aspect which is not included in semantic theory. It will discuss about all aspect of utterances meaning which cannot be explained by literal meaning of each word. It can be said that this is a medium to find out the reason why people say that utterances. In pragmatic approach, this study learns the relation of utterances and the context. This study learn the use of language which is determined by the context. Pragmatic approach will try to explain that there is a situation when human being tries to make language

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

able to serve them practically and flexibly. It means that language can represent human being’s mind.

C.Method of the Study

1. Data Collection

The data population is 251 data. Because of such large data, the thesis applied purposive random sampling method to select samples. Based on Krejcie and Morgan Table (1970:607-610), the minimum sample for research is 10% of the population. Although the more the data, the more valid the research is. The need for an afficient method of determining the sample size is needed to represent the population below:

Table 1. 10 Percentage Number of Sample Data Number of Number of Category Occurence sample data Copulative Term 131 16 Excretory Term 41 6 Body Function Term 32 4 Sexual Irregularity - - Animal Term 9 1 Mother in Law 6 1 Religious Matter 32 4 Total Number 251 32

The method was first to classify the number of swearwords occurences in population into 7 categories. 10% swear words occurences are taken from each category of swear words randomly. Although it was randomly, but the 10% data is taken purposively. It is because 10% of population taken data has almost all categories of swearwords in Wardhaugh’s theory (1992:236). The next, 10% taken data is used to find out purposes each category of swearwords can express.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

For a sample study, the data must be suitable for the topic researcher has.

Collecting the data, firstly, researcher downloaded Good Will Hunting and English subtitle. Secondly, researcher checked whether the subtitle matches with the utterances in the movie. Thirdly, researcher selected the conversations which are containing taboo words. And then, the researcher decided taboo words which are considered as swear word. After that, the researcher selected the conversations data which contain swear words and can represent all the data randomly. Thus, a researcher classified those conversations that are performing the use of swear words based on the types of swear words and then determine the purpose of swear words. Lastly, the data were transferred to the data sheet that was made.

2. Data Analysis

This present undergraduate thesis applies a qualitative descriptive research method in analyzing data. Bogdan and Biklen (1992: 30) states qualitative research is descriptive. The research data contain words or picture rather than number. The result of the data analysis is an explanation about situation which is analyzed and provided in the form of narrative to answer the question why and how phenomena happen. The data are interpreted and explained in accordance to the condition between the relation of the data and phenomena.

There are some steps for finding the answer of two problem formulations.

To answer the first problem formulation about the types of swear words in the conversation, researcher differed the conversations which are containing swear words from the conversation which are taboo words. A researcher would apply

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

theory of swear word’s criteria by Anderson and Trudgill to differ swear word and taboo words. After finding the conversations which contain swear words, a researcher classified the use of swear words based on the theory of swear word’s types by Wardhaugh. Based on Wardhaugh’s theory, there are seven types of swear words. There are copulative term (C), excretory term (E), body function term (B), sexual irregularities (S), animal term (A), mother in law (M) and religious matter

(R). The analysis data were transferred to the data sheet that was made bellow:

Table 2. Example of Analyzing Type of Swear Word

TYPE NO TIME CONVERSATION SW Explanation C E B S A M R The meaning of Chuckie: Morgan, fuck here is we’e not going to activity, but the Kelly just cus’ you lie real meaning of the takeout girl. It’s fuck is having 00:09:36 15 minutes out of our sex. “Having 1 - Fuck √ way. sex” or 00:09:43 Morgan: what the “copulate” is a fuck are we gunna word which is do, we can’t spare 15 tabooed and minutes? included into copulative term.

The table contained the columns of data which are taken from the script of

Good Will Hunting. The conversations data which are containing swear words will be put in the conversation column. There will be 32 the number of occurrence of swear words. Time column based on time record in the movie. In the column, types of swear words (SW) will be put in the type column. There are seven columns: copulative term (C), excretory term (E), body function term (B), sexual

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

irregularities (S), animal term (A), mother in law (M) and religious matter. The last column is explanation column. In explanation column, context of the conversation will be input.

Meanwhile, answering the second problem formulation about the purposes of swear words, a researcher analyzed the use of swear words in the conversation to find the purposes why the speakers use swear words in Good Will Hunting. A researcher tried to concern with swearwords in the conversations. A researcher applied swear words functions theory by Pinker to know the purpose of the use of swear words in the conversation. Besides, a researcher also applied pragmatics theory to see the implied meaning in the use of swear words based on the certain situation in the conversation. After that, a researcher could determine the purposes of swear words are used through the functions of swear words itself. According to

Pinker’s theory about functions of swear words, there are five functions. They are to insulting people (I), to responding something bad spontaneosly (R), to provoke people (P), to emphasize certain things (E) and to show casualness (C). The analysis data were transferred to the data sheet that was made bellow:

Table 3. Example of Analyzing Purpose of Swear Word

Morgan: what the fuck emphasize his are we gunna do, we confusion about can’t spare 15 minutes? what they are really gonna do, so Chuckie cannot spare only 15 minutes.

It is similar with the previous table. There is number column, time column, swear words column, and explanation column, but function column will be added to replace type column. There are five columns of function column: insulting people (I), responding something bad spontaneously (R), provoking people (P), emphasizing certain things (E) and showing casualness (C).

CHAPTER IV

ANALYSIS RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

This chapter consists of two subchapters based on the number of problem formulations which is arranged. The first subchapter deals with the discussion of the data to answer the first problem formulation in the Problem Formulation in chapter one by finding out the types of swear words in Good Will Hunting movie.

The first problem formulation will apply Wardhaugh’s theory which classifies swear words into seven types. They are copulative term, excretory term, body function term, sexual irregularities, animal term, mother in law, and religious matter.

The second subchapter involves the second problem formulation which is discussed in Problem Formulation. It is to identify the purpose the use of swear word data by using Pinker’s theory. There are five functions Pinker provides, which are to insult people, to respond something bad spontaneously, to provoke people, to emphasize certain things, and to show casualness.

This analysis begins by presenting the analysis result of research through column chart. Column chart shows the number of use of swear words in Good Will

Hunting movie. It contains of all of kinds of swear words, which are copulative term, excretory term, body function term, sexual irregularities, animal term, mother in law, and religious matter. The number of use of swear words by each type of swear words is presented as follows:

From the column chart above, swear word which is frequently used is copulative term, while swear word which is rarely used is sexual irregularities. The copulative terms are 16 times used, and sexual irregularity is none. To see more details, the following table will describe the detail swear words all characters in

Good Will Hunting use based on each type, and the number of the use of each detail swear word will be shown here:

A. Types of Swear Words in Good Will Hunting

This section, the conversation about the use of swear words will be presented and analyzed. The discussion is related to types of swear words in Good

Will Hunting movie.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

1. Copulative Term

Copulative Fuck - To disturb - To forget - Worthless - Really/ extremely - Jobless - Kill - Person - Get out

This term is related to sexual intercourse included anal and oral intercourse among two different genders, for example: a. Fuck

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, the meaning of fuck is “having sex” or “copulate”. That meaning is included into taboo word, which is copulative term. Although fuck is tabooed, Munier states that fuck is functional taboo word which is arguable (2010, 138). Because of that, there are many meanings can be described by fuck. The following data will show the meanings can be interpreted by word fuck, and also there are many forms of fuck can be found in Good Will

Hunting movie:

WILL : What're we gunna do up there? CHUCKIE : 'dunno. Fuck up some smart kids. You'd probably fit right in.…

There is the word fuck in fuck up. Although there is the word fuck in fuck up, the meaning of fuck up has nothing to do with sexual intercourse. According to

Farlex Dictionary of Idioms, the meaning of fuck up is “to make a mistake”. Based on the context, the meaning of fuck up has a potential meaning as “to disturb”. In the context, Chuckie gives an idea “to disturb” some smart kids in Casey’s new bar

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

at Harvard by Will’s cleverness because Chuckie assumes that Will’s cleverness is the only one who is equal to Harvard people. Because of that, the meaning of fuck up is “to disturb” some smart kids.

MORGAN : Fuck this. Let's get some food. CHUCKIE : Hey, what, Morgan? You're not gunna talk to her? MORGAN : Fuck her.

Fuck in fuck this and fuck her does not mean “to have sexual intercourse with this” and “to have sexual intercourse with her”. According to Longman

Dictionary, fuck which is added by object pronoun such as fuck you/it/them means

“it is used to show that you are very angry at something or someone, or that you do not care about them at all”. Based on the context, the meaning of fuck this and fuck her show that Morgan “does not care about this and her”. The potential meaning of fuck this and fuck her in the context can be “forget this” and “forget her”. In the context, Morgan talks about the little League game Morgan and his friends watch and asks about getting some food later on, so he says fuck this to say “forget the game”, and says fuck her to say “forget the girl” they are talking about.

CHUCKIE : Morgan, we're not goin' to Kelly's just cus' you like the takeout girl. It's 15 minutes out of our way. MORGAN : What the fuck are we gunna do, we can't spare 15 minutes?

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, the meaning of fuck is “an act of copulation”, but fuck in what the fuck are we gonna do is not meant as “an act of copulation” in this context, because Chuckie and Morgan are not talking about

“an act of copulation”. Based on Merriam Webster Dictionary, fuck which uses especially with the is as meaningless intensive. Fuck in the fuck is meaningless.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

The overall meaning of sentence is not affected by that word, but it is responsible for adding emphasis (Howe, 2012: 29).

The fuck which is meaningless intensive is more appropriately applied in this context. In this context, the word the fuck Morgan uses to emphasize what he is saying. Morgan wants to know “what they are really going to do”, so they cannot spare 15 minutes to go to Kelly.

CLARK : Well, as a matter of fact I won't because Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social di-- WILL : Wood drastically...Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth. You got that from Vicker's Work in Essex County, page 98, right? Yeah, I read that, too. Were you gunna' plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts that...of your own on this matter? Or do you-- is that your thing? You come into a bar, you read some obscure passage, and then pretend you, you.. pawn it off as your own. As your own idea just to impress some girls..? Embarrass my friend? See, the sad thing about a guy like you is in fifty years you're gunna start doing some thinkin' on your own, and you're gunna' come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life: one, don't do that, and, two, you dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a fuckin' education you coulda' got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library.

Fucking in a fucking Education is an adjective. Adjective has a role to modify a noun. According to Longman Dictionary, the meaning of fucking is “used to emphasize your opinion of something”. In this context, Will is talking about an education, so it is used to emphasize his opinion about education. The education

Will is talking about refers to Clark’s knowledge about plagiarism Clark does. It can be seen through the way Will conveys about Clark’s thinking in fifty years.

Clark’s thinking in fifty years is related to “his plagiarism knowledge which is

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

shameful, useless and worthless” which is meant as an education here. In the context, Clark’s thinking in fifty years is that he should not do the plagiarism again.

SEAN : My father was an alcoholic. Means fuckin' drunk. He'd come home hammered, lookin' to whale on somebody. So, I had to provoke him so he wouldn't go after my mother and little brother. Interesting nights were when he wore his rings. WILL : Yeah...he used to just put a uh...a wrench, a stick, and a belt on the table, and just say choose.

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, the meaning of fucking in fucking drunk is “used as an intensive”. It is appropriately used in this context. Sean is telling Will about his father who is an alcoholic, then he clarifies his statement again and says “means fucking drunk”. In the context, fucking drunk is to clarify his statement about the word an alcoholic, so it has a potential meaning as “really drunk”. Fucking in fucking drunk is “as intensive of the word drunk”. Sean’s father is “really drunk (an alcoholic)”, in this context.

WILL : So, you finally got a job, huh Morgan? MORGAN : Yeah, I had one. Now, I'm fucked again.

Fucked can be an adjective or a passive verb here. According to Longman

Dictionary, the meaning of fucked as an adjective means “completely broken or in a very bad condition”. Meanwhile, according to Merriam Webster Dictonary, the

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

meaning of fucked in “I am fucked again” as a verb here can be meant as “I am dealt with unfairly again”. In this context, the word fucked should be related to the job. It is because the context is Will and Morgan are talking about Morgan who finally had a job which is to help Chuckie and Billy make a car for Will’s birthday present, but now Morgan does not have a job again. Morgan does not have a job again because the car they make for Will done. Because of that, fucked in I’m fucked again has a potential meaning as “jobless” for an adjective, and “fired” for passive verb. “Jobless” and “fired” have the same concept of fucked meaning in the Dictionary as something bad in Morgan’s life.

WILL : Yeah. Don't worry about me, I know what I'm doin'. Yeah, but this girl is like, you know, beautiful. She's smart. She's fun. She's different from most of the girls I've been with. SEAN : So, call her up, Romeo. WILL : Why? So I can realize she's not that smart? That she's fuckin' boring? Y'know--I mean...this girl is like fuckin' perfect right now, I don't wanna r--ruin that.

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, fucking in fucking boring means and fucking perfect means as an emphasis. In this context, it is appropriately used. It has potential meaning as “extremely boring” for fucking boring and

“extremely perfect” for fucking perfect. Based on th context, Will shows his estimation about Skylar’s character between before and after Will knows Skylar further which will be opposite.

CHUCKIE : Why didn't you give me none of that nasty little Hoochie Woochie you usually throw at me? CATHY : Oh, Fuck you and your Irish curse, Chuckie. Like I'd waste my energy spreading my legs for that Tootsie Roll dick? So go home and give it a tug yourself.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

According to Longman Dictionary, the meaning of fuck you is “used to show that you do not care about them at all”. The meaning of fuck you in dictionary is appropriately used in this context. It has meaning as “don’t care about you or forget about you”. Based on the context, Chuckie is asking about the reason why

Cathy did not have sex with him as usual. Cathy answers his question by swearing expression which says that “forget about you” and your Irish curse, because Cathy thinks that it will waste her energy to have sex with him.

SEAN : Why the wrench? WILL : cus' Fuck him, that's why.

According to Longman Dictionary, the meaning of Fuck him is “to have sex with him or not to care about him”, but those meanings are not precise in this context. Based on the context, Sean and Will are talking about an incident between

Will’s father and Will in the past. Will wants to say the reason why he chooses the wrench after Sean is asking about it. He wants to say that the wrench is a tool he uses to kill his father. Based on the context, fuck him has a potential meaning as

“kill him”.

WILL : She woke herself up? SEAN : Ye e e e sss.… Oh Christ....aahhh, but, Will, she's been dead two years and that's the shit I remember. Wonderful stuff, you know, little things like that. Ah, but, those are the things I miss the most. The little idiosyncrasies that only I knew about. That's what made her my wife. Oh and she had the goods on me, too, she knew all my little peccadillos. People call these things imperfections, but they're not, aw that's the good stuff. And then we get to choose who we let in to our weird little worlds. You're not perfect, sport. And let me save you the suspense. This girl you met, she isn't perfect either. But the question is: whether or not you're perfect for each other. That's the whole deal. That's

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

what intimacy is all about. Now you can know everything in the world, sport, but the only way you're findin' out that one is by givin' it a shot. You certainly won't learn from an old fucker like me. Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell a piss ant like you.

According to Collins English Dictionary, fucker means “a person who fucks”, but it is not precise in this context. In this context, the meaning of fucker in an old fucker is appropriately meant as “a person”. It is also supported by the other meanings of fucker, which is “a person or a fellow” in Collins English Dictionary.

The meaning of an old fucker is “an old person” in the conversation. The meaning can be known by the fact that Sean is an old peson is true. Besides, in the context,

Sean assumes that Will will not learn the way to find out the happiness of knowing someone’s imperfections from an old person like him. It is because Will and Sean have different era, so they will have different ways to get the happiness by knowing someone’s imperfection.

WILL : You're chuckin' me? SEAN : Yeah, get the fuck out.

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, fuck which uses especially with the is as meaningless intensive. Fuck in the fuck is meaningless. The overall meaning of sentence is not affected by that word, but it is responsible for adding emphasis (Howe, 2012: 29). It is appropriately used in this context. The fuck no need to be translated because that word is meaningless, so the meaning of get the fuck out is “get out”.

In the context, Sean wants Will to leave his room when Will makes sure by his question whether it is true or not he wants to throw him out. Sean wants Will

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

to leave his room because he is mad at Will because Will does not understand that

Sean wants to help him, so he asks what he really wants in life. Will responds carelessly without seriousness. Because of that, Sean wants him to leave his room.

Because of his annoyance, he wants Will to leave his room quickly. It is shown by opening the door for Will,which shows that he wants Will to get out quickly. In the context, get the fuck out has a potential meaning as “get out quickly”.

WILL : No one. I forgot the number. MORGAN : You're fucking retarded. You went all the way out there in the rain and you didn't bring the number? WILL : No, it was your mother's 900 number, I just ran outta' quarters

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, Fucking is as an intensive.

Based on the context, fucking as an intensive can be applied here, because Morgan wants to say that Will is “incredibly stupid” by saying fucking retarded. It is known by the context. In the context, he went all the way out in the rain without bringing the number, so Morgan said that Will was “incredibly stupid”. “Incredibly” is as an intensive in this context.

SEAN : Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Gerry. Let's talk about the boy. Why don't we give him time to figure out what he wants? LAMBEAU : That's a wonderful theory, Sean, it worked wonders for you, didn't it? SEAN : Yeah, it did, you arrogant fuckin' prick!

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, fucking is as an intensive.

Based on the context, fucking as an intensive can be applied here. Here, Sean and

Lambeau are talking about Will’s future. Sean wants Will to think about what Will really wants to, but Lambeau does not want to because he assumes that Will will

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

never be successful with it. Lambeau says it because he derives Sean is not successful by following what he really wants to. Sean is offended in this context.

Because of that, fucking has a potential meaning as “really” to intensify that

Lambeau is “really” prick.

SEAN : I don't blame you! It's not about you, you mathematical dick! It's about the boy! He's a good kid, and I won't see you fuck him up like you're trying to fuck up me right now. I won't see you make him feel like a failure too. LAMBEAU : He won't be a failure, Sean!

According to Longman Dictionary, fuck (somebody) up or fuck up someone means “to make someone very unhappy and confused so that they cannot live normally or have normal relationships”. That concept meaning of fuck up someone and fuck someone up is appropriatelly used in the context. Based on Longman

Dictionary, fuck him up and fuck up me have the same meaning. In the context, fuck him up and fuck up me can be meant as “to disturb Will” and “to disturb me (Sean)”.

In the context, because Will is a good kid, the meaning of fuck him up mean that Sean will never let Lambeau “disturb Will”. Sean knows his plan on Will, and

Sean thinks that Lambeau does not understand Will’s psychological promblem.

Meanwhile, fuck up me means “to disturb me”. Sean thinks that Lambeau is ruining him through his wrong perception about Sean. Here, Lambeau thinks that Sean blames Lambeau for Sean’s life turned out.

2. Excretory Term

Excretory Term Crap Justification Shit Extremely

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

memory Piss Insignificant bullshit lie

It is related to human being’s excretion, for examples: a. Crap

Crap is considered as something taboo which is categorized as excretory term. It is because crap means “feces” in Merrieam Webster Dictioanary. Although the meaning of crap is a part of excretion terms, but crap word applies different meaning in swearing. The following conversation will show the use of crap does not use its literal meaning as feces.

SEAN : Gerry listen to me. Listen to me. Why is he hiding? Why doesn't he trust anybody? Because the first thing that happened to him, he was abandoned by the people who were supposed to love him most. LAMBEAU : Oh, come on, don't give me that Freudian crap.

According to Longman Dictionary, crap means “something someone says that you think is completely wrong or untrue”. Then, looking back to the context, the meaning of crap can be meant as “justification”. Meanwhile, Freudian in

Freudian crap refers to the idea of Sigmund Freud, the name of the creator of modern psychological theories, is about the way our mind works. The meaning of

Freudian crap is “justification through Freud’s theory” in the conversation. Based on the context, Sean wants Lambeau thinks the reasons why Will hides himself and never trusts anybody. Sean wants to show Lambeau how Will is thinking and

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

feeling, but Lambeau does not care about it. Lambeau thinks that it is “just justification used through Freud’s theory by Sean”. b. Shit

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, The meaning of shit is “feces” or “defecation”. It is something tabooed which is considered as excretory term.

Although the literal meaning of shit is tabooed, but it does not retain its literal meaning.

WILL : What am I so scared of? SKYLAR : Well, what aren't you scared of? You live in this safe little world where no one challenges you and you're scared shitless to do anything else because that might mean that you'd have to change.

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, the meaning of shitless is “an extreme degree used as an intensive especially with scare”. In Collins Cobuild

Idioms Dictionary, scared shitless means “extremely scared”. That meaning can be applied in this context, because Skylar is talking about the reason why Will does not want to follow her in California. Then, she derives a conclusion that it is because he is extremely scared of change.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

According to Longman Dictionary, the meaning of Shit is “feces”, but it can mean “someone’s possessions, especially the things they have with them”. In this context, shit can be meant as “memory”, because Sean and Will are talking about Sean’s past experience with his dead wife. Will and Sean are talking about something Sean remembers about his wife in the past. Sean is telling Will about his life’s experience with his wife’s bad habit. His wife’s bad habit is “a memory” he has because she’s been dead two years ago.

c. Piss

The meaning of piss is “urinate”. The discussion about urinate is tabooed because it is categorized as excretory term. Because of that, the discussion about this word is avoided in the society. Although the meaning of piss is tabooed, but in the context of conversation the word piss does not apply its meaning as “urinate”.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

givin' it a shot. You certainly won't learn from an old fucker like me. Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell a pissant like you.

According to Merriam Webster Dictonary, Pissant means to “one that is insignificant”. In the context, that meaning can be applied. Based on the conversation, Sean gives learning through the story of Sean’s life experience. Sean gives learning that there is none who is perfect. Althogh none is perfect, he has to find out the happiness by knowing the imperfection. He has to still love them although they are not perfect. Sean says that Will is pissant because he thinks it will be worthless when Sean knows the way to find out happiness, but then he has to tell someone like Will. It is because Will is nothing to Sean’s life. Based on the context, a pissant can be meant as “insignificant”. d. Bullshit

According to Urban Dictionary, the meaning of bullshit is a male cow’s poop. It is supported by Online Slang Dictionary. According to Online Slang

Dictionary, the meaning of bullshit is “bull feces”. The disscussion about the use of bullshit is avoided because it is a part of excrement terms. Although the meaning of bullshit is “bull feces”, but the meaning of bullshit in the following conversation applies another meaning except “bull feces”.

WILL : Do I look like I need that? SKYLAR : No! God, I just want to be with you because I love you. WILL : Don't bullshit me. Don't bullshit me.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

that Skylar loves him after he tells his bad past. He believes that Skylar only feels that Will is pitiful.

After talking about both of them, they are silent for a while to watch the game. But then, Morgan says to fuck this and get some food. And also, he says fuck her when Chuckie asks whether it is true or not that he won’t talk to her. It is because Chuckie knows that Morgan is a person who is fond of sexy women. When

Morgan knows there is sexy women, he will come near and talk to them later. But then, Chuckie is astonished because he is not interested to the woman they are talking about.

Billy also tells Will that Chuckie finally gives Morgan a job because Morgan always asks for a job for about two years. Then, Will asks and makes sure the good news that he finally got a new job. Answering Will’s respond,

Morgan uses swear word to his friend. It is not negative thing in this context. This swear word is a way “to show closeness among his friends”. Besides, in the context, the meaning of the use of swear word here is not really referring to the matter. It is only using the word to explain that he is jobless again to his close friend, Will.

Sean wants Will to know that nobody is perfect by his story of life and the imperfection of someone precisely makes us love them. Sean wants

Will to find out the happiness of knowing someone’s imperfections, but still loving them.

Sean applies a swear word which is fucker. According to Collins English

Dictionary, fucker means “a person who fucks”, but it is not precise in this context.

In this context, the meaning of fucker in an old fucker is appropriately meant as “a person”. It is also supported by the other meanings of fucker, which is “a person or

a fellow” in Collins English Dictionary. The meaning of an old fucker in the context is an old stupid. The purpose he uses fucker to say an old stupid is “to make social bonding between Sean and Will”. Sean wants Will to feel comfortable with him by using swear words like he does.

Sean and Will are talking about Sean’s wife who passed away. Sean gives a learning about life’s point by his past story. In the conversation, Sean applies swear word, a pissant. This is included as abusive swearing because it can be used to insult someone, but in this context, this swearing is not considered as an abusive swearing. It is because Sean is only joking. Sean does not mean the swear word itself, and so does Will. Besides, in this context, he begins to share about his life in the previous, to be open minded, and also to hear his utterances as a friend. It is why this swearig, a pissant, is not said as an abusive swearing, although the meaning in this context is rude. Moreover, Will’s respond is only laughing and showing statement Sean says that he does not want to tell him because Will is nothing for him, but in he reality, he always tells Will anything. This swearing expression he uses to offset Will’s style of language, so that he can be comfortable with Sean and even he can think of Sean as a friend.

WILL : There's nothing wrong---That's some-- That's somebody's home I'm building. SEAN : Right. My dad laid brick. Okay? Busted his ass so I could have an education.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

Sean and Will are talking about what Will really wants to do in his life. Will feels there is nothing wrong with his present job that is laying bricks. Sean also agrees that there is nothing wrong with it because his father also laid brick.

According to Farlex Dictionary of Idioms, the meaning of bust his ass is “to work hard”. That meaning is interrelated in this context, because Will and Sean are talking about a job as people who are laying brick. Bust his ass is also meant as

“work hard” in the context, because Sean says that his dad is only laying bricks, while the price of an education is expensive. Because of expensive education, his dad has to work hard so that Sean gets education in his school.

Sean applies busted his ass to replace his work hard because he is talking to Will who is considered not only as a client, but also as a friend in this context.

Although this swearing can be considered as dysphemitic swearing since he is talking about his dad, but this swear word, ass in busted his ass is a rude slang which is used to talk to friends, according to Farlex Dictionary of Idioms. This shows the closeness between Sean and Will.

Sean and Lambeau are talking about Will. Will’s mental problem is discussed, but what Sean tries to talk is not understood. Because he does not understand well Sean’s intention, it leads him into the wrong perception. Lambeau thinks that Sean blames him because Sean’s life which was turning out is

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

considered as Sean’s failure in the past, although Sean never sees it as a failure.

Sean tries to explain misunderstanding among them. He explains that it is about

Will, and not Lambeau.

Fuck up me is said as showing casualness because it is a conversation between Sean and Lambeau as a friend. Fuck up me is used to show that they have a close relationship each others. He wants his friend, Lambeau, to know that he is hurting or disturbing Sean now.
