Penulis meneliti kata umpatan yang diucapkan oleh tokoh kulit hitam dan kulit putih dalam film 12 Years a Slave dengan menggunakan pendekatan sosiolinguistik. Film ini berdasarkan kisah nyata Solomon Northup dalam 12 tahunnya menjadi budak di abad ke-19 ketika masa perbudakan terjadi di Amerika. Dia adalah seorang pria merdeka keturunan Afrika-Amerika yang diculik dan dijual ke dalam perbudakan. Dia dan budak yang lain yang semuanya adalah orang kulit hitam mendapatkan perlakuan kejam dari tuan mereka atau orang kulit putih melalui kekerasan fisik dan hinaan seperti memaki mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa kata-kata umpatan yang digunakan oleh tokoh-tokoh dalam film, khususnya orang kulit putih dan kulit hitam. Studi ini akan membahas kata-kata umpatan dan etnisitas. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi tipe-tipe kata-kata umpatan dan tujuan penutur mengucapkan kata-kata umpatan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis isi sebagai metode karena sumber data berasal dari film dan naskah film. Subjek penelitian ini adalah dialog dalam film yang mengandung kata-kata umpatan. Instrumen utama untuk mengumpulkan dan menganalisa data adalah penulis sendiri, sedangkan instrumen yang kedua adalah lembar data. Beberapa buku yang relevan seperti sosiolinguistik, psikolinguistik, dan sejarah digunakan sebagai referensi untuk menjawab rumusan masalah. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa tipe-tipe kata- kata umpatan dalam film ini mencakup 3 tipe, yaitu nama julukan, istilah religius, dan kata cabul. Dalam penelitian ini juga ditemukan bahwa tokoh kulit putih lebih sering mengucapkan kata umpatan daripada tokoh kulit hitam. Umpatan bersifat religius adalah tipe yang paling dominan digunakan oleh tokoh-tokoh di dalam film, terutama tokoh kulit putih. Selain itu, tokoh kulit putih dan hitam memiliki tujuan yang berbeda yaitu untuk menarik perhatian, untuk mendiskereditkan orang lain, untuk memprovokasi, untuk menciptakan identifikasi pribadi, dan untuk menyediakan katarsis. Tujuan yang paling umum dari mengumpat adalah untuk mendiskreditkan orang yang sering digunakan oleh tokoh kulit putih dalam film.
