Keywords: Slang, Movie, Partridge’s Slang Theory, Yanchun’s Slang Theory, Swanson’s
Slang Theory

Slang is generally considered as informal style of speech which is used by groups of

people in particular community. It may be in the form of single word, phrase or a sentence. It
is a part of a language that is usually outside of conventional or standard usage and that may
consist of both newly coined words and phrases and of new or extended meanings attached to
established terms.

To get the answer of the research questions, this study used two theories. First is the
theory formulated by Partridge (2004) about the types of slang classified into eleven types of
slang: cockney slang, public house slang, workmen’s slang, tradesmen’s slang, slang in art,
slang in publicity, slang in public school and university, society slang, slang in commerce, and
soldier’s slang. Second is theory about the function of slang formulated by Yanchun and
Yanhong (2013). There are three functions of using slang: pursuit of self-identity, to express
emotive feeling of the slang users and to achieve politeness. Third is theory about the effect of
using slang proposed by Swanson and Golden (2010).

In this research, the researcher used the descriptive qualitative method. First, the
researcher present the data. Second, the researcher categorizes the data in accordance with
Partridge’s theory about the types of slang, Yanchun’s theory about the functions of slang and
Golden’s theory about the effect of sing slang. Third, the researcher explains the data using
these theories. Last, the researcher drew the general conclusion based on the research findings
and discussions.

The result of this study, the researcher found 13 data, which are divided into three types
or categorizes, thirteen data include in society slang, one data includes in public house slang
and two data include in medicine slang. For the function of slang, the researcher found three
functions, two data include in pursuit of self-identity, ten data include in to express emotive
feeling of the slang users and one data includes in to achieve politeness. And for the effect of
using slang, the researcher found two effects, five data include in positive effect and eight data
include in negative effect.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of Study

This research examines the types of slang language used by the main characters of

“Ride Along” movie. Slang is generally considered as informal style of speech which is used

by groups of people in particular community. It may be in the form of single word, phrase or

a sentence. Linghua (2006) said that slang is a part of a language that is usually outside of

conventional or standard usage and that may consist of both newly coined words and

phrases and of new or extended meanings attached to established terms.

The use of slang is growing rapidly than standard language; making research on

slang is increasing. It gives ideas and encouragement to the linguistics researchers to continue

research on slang. One media that is often used by all researchers for their research on the

development of slang is a movie. Frommer and Finegan (2004) wrote “Slang terms are often

found in movies and music reviews, lifestyle pieces, and people columns.”The reason why

they choose the movie as a research media is because the conversations in the movie really

happen in the real situation. It will make it easier for researchers to determine the aspects they

want to analyze, for example the meaning, the word formation, the functions or the effects of

slangs.

Recently, slang is not only used by certain communities as secret expressions but

also used commonly by teenagers. Teenagers often use it in their daily communication with

their community. By using slang, teenagers feel free in conversation with their community,

every time and everywhere without anyone who understands the meaning. Goodword

(2006) stated that slang is a crucial part of a young person “coming of age,” one of the first
detectable signs of their breaking away from their parents and their parents’ values. It is a

cheap second language that express as the differences between young people who are

about to enter adulthood from his or her parents’ generation. The teenagers are very

creative to create some new slang words in coloring the world by their creativity because it

sounds cooler than formal language. Many new words have been emerged and formed by

teenagers (Claire, 1998) such as watcha, heinous (terrible), what’s up? (A way to greet a

person or ask about them), booze (alcohol), dammit, bud, waddya, and so on. While in

Indonesia, many new words are formed by the teenagers too, such as lebay, katro, kepo,

bete and so on.

When people using slang language in their communication, there are some social

functions they want to accomplish. Mattiello (2008) said that slang is sociocultural practice

that speakers privilege for such social purposes as being on the same speech-level with

one’s audience, facilitating social intercourse, and inducing friendliness or intimacy.

According to Yanchun and Yanhong (2013), there are three functions of using slang. The first

social function is the pursuit of self-identity which is the symbol for dividing the professional

groups in society. The second one is to express emotive feeling of the slang users for the

psychological need. And the third one is to achieve politeness which means slang serves the

phatic function and it contributes to maintain our positive face in daily communication.

In this research, the researcher is interested in analyzing the use of slang language

in movie entitled “Ride Along.” Ride Along is a 2014 American action comedy film directed

by Tim Story and starring Ice Cube, Kevin Hart, John Leguizamo, Bryan Allen, Tika

Sumpter and Laurence Fishburne. The film follows Ben (Hart), a high school security guard

who must prove himself to his girlfriend's brother James (Ice Cube) that he is worthy to
marry her. James, currently undercover to catch a Serbian smugglers' boss Omar (Fishburne),

takes Ben on a ride along to prove himself.

The first reason why the researcher chooses this movie is because the main characters

on the movie commonly use slang language in their conversation which are sound strange for

people who do not understand and use that language in their conversation. For example the

term “med” means medication. Second, the main characters in this movie utter slang

language in various situation. For example:

James: What the hell are you doing? What the hell in the text means a
phrase which is used by someone in anger occasion to ask someone. In
this case, James angry to Ben because he tries to pick a gun in the
middle of enemies attacks. Then another example, Angela: “How's my
king this morning?” Ben: “Good. I'm fine, babe.” The word babe in the
text means an attractive young woman. In this case, Angela asks James
condition that morning and James answer it and call Angela as babe.

Doing the research about slang in the movie would give the positive contribution for

the learner. First, we can found the literal and figurative meaning in the movie. Like a

research that has been done by Dewi (2012). She analyzed the literal and figurative meaning

of slang language in movie entitled “Hancock”. The result is she found that the slang words

on the movie have a literal and figurative meaning. She used English dictionary to find the

literal meaning and slang dictionary in order to find out the figurative meaning of the words.

One of the examples is the word punk which has two meanings: first, the literal meaning of

word punk is loud and aggressive rock music popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Second, its figurative meaning is bullying or play.

Furthermore, from the research, we can found the morphology or word formation of

slang. There are two researchers that analyze the word formation of slang. First is Abadi

(2012) who analyzed the slang formation in the movie entitled “Paul” using Martiello’s

theory. The result was she found nine types of slang formation in that movie. The process
are compounding, suffixation,final combining form,conversion, acronym and

initialisms,reduplicative, blending, clipping, and other word formation from other theories

such as coinage (Plag’s theory), ejaculation (Pyle’s theory), relaxed pronunciation and

proper names. Next is Nurin (2012) in her thesis “a study of slang used in Step up 3D film”;

she analyzed the linguistic process of forming slang using Plag’s theory. The results were the

characters in that movie use slang for some reasons, those are: to get intimacy, to show

amazement, to show anger, to simplify their language, to show their identity, to be just for

fun, or even solely to be colloquy in conversation; and she found six linguistic processes in

forming slang word, those are: acronym, compounding, clipping, blending, creating new

word, and using the existing word. And the last, we can we can analyze the sociolinguistics

background in every slang word to understand it more deeply. So that way, we can get the

entertainment and knowledge through the movie.

According to the previous studies, there are only two areas of analyzing slang that

have been done by the previous researchers; two researchers attempt to analyze the word

formation in forming slang word and one researcher that attempts to analyze the literal and

figurative meaning of slang words. Therefore, this research is different with the previous

studies because this research attempt to explore English slang from sociolinguistics area by

analyzing the type of slang used by main characters of “Ride Along” movie using Partridge’s

theory, its effect using theory proposed by Swanson and Golden, and its function using theory

which proposed by Yanchun and Yanhong.

1.2 Research Questions

1. What are types of slang used by the main characters of “Ride Along” movie?

2. How is the function of slang uttered by two main characters of “Ride Along” movie?

3. How is the effect of slang uttered by the main characters of “Ride Along” movie?
1.3 Objectives of Study

1. To identify types of slang used by the main characters of “’Ride Along” movie

2. To explain the function of slang uttered by the main characters of “’Ride Along”

movie

3. To understand the effect of slang uttered by the main characters of “’Ride Along”

movie

1.4 Significance of the Study

The researcher hopes that this research is able to enrich the researcher’s

comprehension about slang and also to understand types and functions of slang language used

by the main characters in “Ride Along” movie. This research is important to be observed

because it can be used to get information about the expansion of slang words. Furthermore,

by doing this research, we will understand some functions of slang words and the effect of

slang uttered by the main characters.

This research hopefully has some benefits for all students, especially at English

Letters Department students. From this research, they are expected to be able to apply their

knowledge and comprehend about slang language in appropriate daily conversation,

especially in informal occasion. Besides, this research hopefully can be used by next

researchers as reference materials who are interested in analyzing slang language.

1.5 Scope and Limitations

This research regards as sociolinguistics study because the researcher analyzes the

types of slang language in “Ride Along” movieand the functions of slang used in the “Ride

Along” movie. Furthermore, the researcher only analyzes the use of slang expression done by

main characters of “Ride Along” movie. There are two main characters of this movie, Kevin
Hart and Ice Cube. The researcher uses Partridge (2004) theory to identify the types of slang

used in “Ride Along” movie. There are eleven types of slang according to Partridge: cockney

slang, public house slang, workmen’s slang, tradesmen’s slang, and slang in art, slang in

publicity, slang in public school and university, society slang, slang in commerce, and

soldier’s slang. Theory of the effect of using slang proposed by Swanson and Golden (2010)

and theory of functions of slang formulated by Yanhong (2013).

1.6 Definition of Key Terms

To avoid misunderstanding, the researcher defines the following key terms below:

1. Sociolinguistics

Sociolinguistics is one of linguistics field which concerned with language in social and

cultural context, especially how people with different social identities (e.g. gender, age, race,

ethnicity, class) speak and how their speech changes in different situations.

2. Slang

Slang is an informal style of speech which commonlyused in certain groups and

understood by the group members.

1.7 Research Method

This sub-chapter presents the description of some steps that are used by the

researcher to determine the purpose of the study. Those steps are research design, data

resource, research instrument, data collection, and data analysis.

1.7.1 Research Design

The design of this research is a qualitative method because this research has several

characteristics of qualitative. First, the research is natural because the researcher observes and

collects the data in natural setting, meaning that without manipulating the place, the time, the
utterance done by the subject, and etc. Second, the data in this research is in form of

utterances spoken by the characters which means that it is in the form of words not numbers.

Third, this research is done inductively because the researcher analyzes the process,

interprets, reports and draws conclusions from the process.

In analyzing the data, the researcher uses the theory of slang language proposed by

Partridge to determine the type of slang, the effect of using slang which proposed by

Swanson and Golden and a theory of slang language which invented by Yanchun and

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

In this chapter, the researcher discusses about the theories and references dealing

with this study. Those are: language phenomena, slang, types of slang according to

Partridge’s theory, characteristics of using slang, the functions of slang, the effect of using

slang and the synopsis of “Ride Along” movie.

2.1 Language Phenomena

Language is always changing, evolving, and adapting to the needs of its users. As

long as the needs of language users continue to change, so will the language. But reading

Shakespeare's writings from the sixteenth century can be difficult because there are many

words from sixteenth century that we never heard again (Betty: 2012). The simple example is

the use of word thy and thou. Nowadays, the word thy and thou have shifted with the word

you.

Furthermore, Noam Chomsky cited from brainyquote (N.D) said: “Language is a

process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the

principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use

of words involves a process of free creation.”

People always take delight in playing with language; as the result, many languages

phenomena are popped out. Each language phenomena has its own uniqueness which not

all people will understand. One of the language phenomena is slang.

Nowadays, many people use slang in their daily conversation. Whereas slang was

once considered as the lowest form of communication, many people now consider slang to be

an intelligent and insightful variation to the blandness of the standard language. Barbulet

(N.D) said that most people are individuals who desire uniqueness; it stands to reason that
slang has been in existence for as long as language has been in existence. So, slang exists

because there is a language; if the language is developing, slang will be developing too and

the opposite.

2.2 Slang

As Holmes (2001) states that people in a society may speak some varieties of

language in accordance with different social situation they meet. It is true that people should

know whether they are in informal or formal situation. When people speak, they should

understand well about situation around. It is important in choosing appropriate language that

will be used, formal style or non-formal one. The use of slang language can be affected by

some social factors such as age, gender, status, etc. Slang is another area of vocabulary which

reflects a person’s age (Holmes, 2001: 167). According to Claire (1998: 15), slang is a term

that is used by people in social situation where they feel comfortable with their friends. Slang

is usually used in non-formal situation. It can make a conversation becomes more intimate.

Slang term is used in almost all oral language and usually used to express people’s feelings

and creativities. Slang is a variety of language that is used by a restricted part of the

population, often younger or "less respectable" than the majority, and is based on a very

informal or very innovative lexicon that often replaces other words available in the general

lexicon. So, we can conclude that slang is a non-formal or casual spoken language which

create and used by the member of a certain community and usually used in informal situation.

2.2.1 The History of Slang

Slang appears at the first time in sixteenth century. At that time, slang was commonly

used to change the inelegant statement of being associated with foreigner or criminal, some

people use it to make a joke and to keep the secret of the word’s meaning and also because

some people want to express their idea using new language other than Standard English.
 To find out the history of slang, the writer would like to interpose it based on its decade,

characteristics, examples and meaning. According to Random House Historical Dictionary of

American Slang and from book “Slang: Today and Yesterday” by Partridge (2004), there are

five periods of slang history and each of them has different characteristics. It starts from

sixteenth, seventieth, eightieth, ninetieth and twentieth century. Below is the further

explanation about the history of slang.

From the tabulated data, it’s clear that slang always changing and developing. While in

sixteenth century slang only used by criminal; starting from eighteenth century, many people

use slang. It means, year by year, not only criminals but also common people use slang in

their daily activity.

2.2.2 Types of Slang

Partridge (2004:204) clarified that there are eleven types of slang, these are:

by soldiers.

Below is further explanation about the types of slang according to Partridge (2004):

A. Cockney Slang

Cockney slang is in form of English slang which originated from End East of England.

At first, cockney slang only used by working class in England. But nowadays, almost of all

people in England use cockney slang especially in London. This slang has been popularized

by film, music, and literature. Cockney slang is the brightest spot in England because it has a

very pronounced accent for example there is a change in consonantal variation of th to f or v

sound, as in muvah for mother or fank you for thank you. In the society of England, this slang

is very easy to be understood directly.

Below are some examples of Cockney slang which taken from book “A Dictionary of Slang

and Unconventional English” by Partridge (2006):

- Airy-fairies, means (large) feet

- Back double, means a back street

- Gosher, means a heavy blow or punch

 These examples categorized as cockney slang because all of them are discovered in

British, where cockney is commonly used. The word airy-fairies is used by London Evening

News, 20 Nov. 1937; while back double is used by Gerald Kersh, a British novelist in his

novel Night and the City and gosher is used by A. Neil Lyons, an British journalist in his

novel Hookey.

B. Public House Slang

The definition of public house slang is considered as public house group of words or

phrases that makes up for the smallness of the recorded vocabulary by the nature of the

subject. It is genial, cheery, materialistic, but not gross nor cynical. The examples are below

which taken from “The Routledge Dictionary of Historical Slang” by Partridge (2006):

- Booze-shunter, means a beer drinker.

- War Cry, means mixture of stout and mild-ale understood.

- Round the corner, means having had something strong to drink.

The term “booze-shunter” used by the South-Western porters and guards who

frequented the pubs around Waterloo station, originated the term, which soon became general

among the police officers society. While the term “war-cry” has a satirical reference to the

Salvation Army, which speaks stoutly in polite language. And the term “round the

corner”commonly used by lower class people about year 1895–1930. From the explanation

above, it is clear that these slangs belong to public house slang because of them have relation

with public house or we commonly called it as tavern.

C. Workmen’s Slang

This type of slang has a link with public house’s slang, yet, there is a difference

between them. The characteristics of the users of workmen’s slang do not mention the real

“something” but they call it with another name that already used and understood among
them. For example, workmen from mining or ironworks will said brass instead of money.

The examples below were taken from book “A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional

English” by Partridge (2006):

- Jumping Jinny, means a mechanical stamper used in road-repairs

- Bank up, means to complete n a liberal scale; to reinforce generously, to lay in a mighty

store.

- Sling one’s hooks, means to be dismissed.

The term “jumping Jinny”, was found around year 1920. This slang even used by The

London Evening News, 7 December 1936. While “bank up”used for the first time in 1896 by

labor in North of England and”sling one’s hooks”comes from mining district. It refers to a

hooked bag which is hung up in dressing room, and contains such things as the miner does

not require down the shaft. By all of these explanations and the meaning of the slang, these

slangs are classified as workmen’s slang.

D. Tradesmen’s Slang

In tradesmen’s slang as in workmen’s slang, some words are related to origin slang and

the users are the workmen too. But, the difference is there are four typical users of

tradesmen’s slang: tailors, butchers, chemist, and builders. The tailors have the largest

number of slang terms. The examples below were taken from book “Slang: Today and

Yesterday” by Partridge (2004):

- Tradesmen’s slang for tailors: house of parliament, means a meeting of tailor’s assistant

and apprentices in the shop, especially for a serious purpose

- Tradesmen’s slang for butchers: turkey buyer, means a person of considerable important.

- Tradesmen’s slang for chemist: tamarinds, means money. This word is closely reflects the

nature of the chemists trade. In other word, this slang only used by chemist.
- Tradesmen’s slang for builders: flannel jacket, means the navy on heavy work has so long

and so unexceptionally worn flannel

These slangs categorize as tradesmen’s slang because each of these slangs shows the

characteristics that belong to tradesmen’s slang.

E. Slang in Art

Slang in art is still related to society. Words or phrases if slang in art are quickly

adopted by society, although there are only a few words known as artistic slang. According to

Partridge (2004:221), slang in art appears in seventeenth century when slang was brought in

the stage for the first time in Richard Brome’s comedy A Fovial Crew. Furthermore, this

slang is considerable more difficult than other slang terms, the meaning is so difficult to

guess in present day. The examples below were taken from book “A Dictionary of Slang and

Unconventional English” by Partridge (2006):

- Drawing, means a picture in water-colour.

- Gamut, means a picture, a detail, etc., in tone with its accompaniments or environment.

According to Partridge (2004:340), the term “drawing” was discovered in 1870 by

Barrére and Leland. While, according to the explanation in book “A Dictionary of Slang and

Unconventional English”, the slang word “gamut” was used for the first time 1870, but in

1930 this slang was obsolete. These slangs are classified as slang in art because these slangs

show the characteristics that belong to slang of art and they are clearly written in the book “A

Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English.”

F. Slang in Publicity
 This type of slang is often used for commence, because much of modern commerce

depend on publicity, a firm needs the catchy phrase or rhymes that can impress the public.

The examples below were taken from book “A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional

English” by Partridge (2006):

- In do a Garbo, means to avoid Press reporters and photographers and other publicity.

- Worth a guinea a box, means a small, cheap, yet good or useful article.

- Kelper, means a Falkland Islander.

The term “in do a garbo” was used for the first time in 1925, but nowadays, this slang

is never heard again. The slang word “worth a guinea a box” is derived from the considerably

older slogan of Beecham’s Pills. And the word “kelper” is nickname that received wide

publicity during the crisis of 1982. Thus, these examples are belonging to slang of publicity

because the meaning and the explanations of these slangs are having connection with slang in

publicity.

G. Slang in Theatre

Slang in theatre is related with slang in art because theatre is one of art term. According

to Partridge (2004), slang used for the first time on stage in sixteenth century. Theatre slang

begins to develop in nineteenth centuries and expands its influence on ordinary and informal

spoken English. Therefore, theatrical slang little by little gained a status in the first part. For

examplethe Roman writers Plautus, Horace, Juvenal, and Petronius used slang for stylistic

purposes and Shakespeare also used slang in his plays.

In theatre slang, there are some familiar terms, such as actor by professional is called

pro. The man who is occasionally hires at trifling remuneration to come upon the stage as one

of a crowd, or when a number of actors are wanted to give affect is name a supe. The band or

orchestra is called as manageria. Ben is for benefit and sal for salary. Below is the examples
of theatrical slang which are taken from book “Slang: To-day and Yesterday” by Partridge

(2004):

- Acting lady, means an incapable actress. From the poor acting of the great majority of

society women and girls that go on stage.

- Paper house, means theatre that at a given performance has an audience consisting mainly

of those who have come with “paper” complimentary ticket.

These examples includes in theatre’s slang based on the characteristics of the word connected

to its theory.

H. Slang in Public School and University

The main source of this slang is student, because they are fresh and full of creativity.

Every school has its own special words known to no other school. The examples of public

school slang below were taken from book “A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional

English” by Partridge (2006):

- Bonse, means head, for example “look out, or I’ll fetch you a whack across the bonse

- Bung, means a lie, for example “ everything he said is a bung”

- What’s the mat? Means what is the matter?

Slang in university is different from the slang used in public school. When students

leave the school and go to university, they tend to leave their old slang and to mound

themselves to the slang of the university. They grow into adults, choose to do new things or

ways of thinking in and prefer to create their own rules of almamater. The examples of

university slang are:

- Black and tame, means An Oxford undergraduate.

- Leccer, means a lecture. This slang commonly used by oxford undergraduate since early

1890s.

- Brute, means one who has not matriculated.

 The slang word “black and tame” originated from Oxford University and derived from

the black gown and tameo’shanter affected at that period, with a pun on the Black and Tans.

While “leccer” is commonly used by Oxford undergraduate since early 1890s. And the term

“brute” comes from Cambridge University on nineteenth centuries; it is probably derived

from Standard English’s word brute.

I. Society Slang

Society slang is commonly used in daily speaking and connected to the society. Every

society group uses some types of slang, and by association, those words or phrase become

property that belong to that group. In the modern world, slang has become so much defining

trait of many groups that it is impossible to ignore the impact it has had on western society.

There are so many slangs in the colloquial speech of society, most of the words soon

disappear, but a considerable number of them make good their place in ordinary speech.

Moreover, society slang shows a joyously or jauntily over the object and the practice of the

slang user’s own [Link] examples below were taken from book “A Dictionary of Slang

and Unconventional English” by Partridge (2006):

- Come the Rothschild, means to pretend to be rich.

- Repulsive, means unpleasant or dull.

- Silver pheasant, means a beautiful society woman.

The slang “come the Rothschild” is derived from the legendary wealth of that famous

family. This slang was found in 1880 but never used again in 1914. While the term

“repulsive” used for the first time in 1930 by Evelyn Waugh, in Vile Bodies,‘Isn’t this a

repulsive party?’ and the term “silver pheasant” used for the first time in 1920 by Manchon.

Due to the explanation above, these examples include in society slang.

J. Slang in Medicine
 Medical slang is slang used by doctors or nurses. The examples of this slang is very

hard to find. According to Partridge (2004: 280), Ware gives four terms used in 1999: bone-

clother, port wine, for which stout is now usually substituted as a “fattener”; locum (short for

locum tenens) still very commonly employed by doctors and clergymen; pith, the spinal

chord when severed; to be slated, to die, or more precisely to be doomed to die. Ware only

has very few medical slangism list because doctors very rarely talk “shop” to others than

doctors and because, in the words of the one notable authority on medical slang. Below is the

example of medical slang according to book“A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional

English” by Partridge (2006):

- Lord have mercy (up) on me, means the ‘iliac passion’, a ‘colic’ of the small guts.

- Sciatic, means a sciatic nerve.

The slang “Lord has mercy (up) on me” appears for the first time in sixteenth century

for medical used, according to Junius’ Nomenclator,by ‘the homelier sort of Phisicians’.

While “sciatic” used for the first time by a young physician named [Link] Young in 1919.

Based on the meaning and the explanation, these slang include in medical slang.

K. Soldier’s Slang

Soldier’s slang is slang terms that comes around the army community that is generally

used by soldiers. In English-speaking countries, it often takes the form

of abbreviations/acronyms or derivations of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet, or otherwise

incorporates aspects of formal military terms and concepts. Military slang is often used to

reinforce or reflect (usually friendly and humorous) interservice rivalries. The examples of

this slang are:

- BOHICA stands for bend over, here it comes again.

- FIGMO describes a person, especially one who has a short remaining time on station, who

has a lax attitude toward their work.

- SNAFU stands for the sarcastic expression situation normal: all fucked up.

BOHICA is an item of acronym slang which grew to regular use amongst the United

States armed forces during the Vietnam War. The acronym “FIGMO” stands for 'Fuck it, I've

got my orders', or 'Finally I Got My Orders'. While the acronym “SNAFU” is believed to

have originated in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. It is a well-known

example of military acronym slang, though it is sometimes bowdlerized to all fouled up or

similar. It means the situation is bad, but that is a normal state of affairs. By all these

meanings, the examples above include in military slang.

2.2.3 Characteristics of Slang

People use slang language because they are individuals who desire uniqueness. They

think, using slang language can represent the certain sub social group’s identity, because it is

cool, or it seems like a fashion when everybody likes it, it will be often used people. A word

can be qualified as slang if that word meet some characteristics of slang. According to

Sumarsono (2007: 155), there are six characteristics of slang language:

1) Clipping

In linguistics, clipping is the word formation process which consists in the reduction

of a word to one of its parts. Clippings are not coined as words belonging to the standard

vocabulary of a language. They originate as terms of a special group like schools, army,

police, the medical profession, etc. For example, exam (ination), math (ematics), and lab

(oratory) originated in school slang; spec (ulation) and tick (et = credit) in stock-exchange

slang; and vet (eran) and cap (tain) in army slang. While clipping terms of some influential

groups can pass into common usage, becoming part of Standard English, clippings of a

socially unimportant class or group will remain group slang.

2) Metathesis

Metathesis is the re-arranging of sounds or syllables in a word, or of words in a

sentence. Most commonly it refers to the switching of two or more contiguous [Link]

Bahasa Indonesia, metathesis is one of Prokem’s Language variation. For example: sobek for

besok, riping for piring, and neber for bener.

3) Creative

Slang is created from a new term, so it needs the creativity of the creator. Thus, the

creator should be able to create a new term which is imaginative, innovative, productive,

even shocking, and amusing; for example the word “bird” in slang language has a meaning as

“girlfriend.”

4) Acronym

Acronym is word composed of the result of the initials of several words. Usually these

components are individual letters or parts of words or names. The use of acronym in slang

often use by young generations in their communication especially in web communication.

Web communication has become a part of teenagers´ everyday life. Its role is to

communicate rapidly, briefly, usually with a lot of slang words. The examples of acronym

are: “LOL” (Laughing Out Loud), “KIT” (Keep in Touch), “BTW” (By The Way).

5) Use the existing words

It means slang expressions are derived from existing word with acquiring new meaning.

The emergence of this “new” word, in linguistics point of view, will increase our vocabulary.

So, the more new words derived from existing words, the more creative slang user is. The

example is like the word “chick” in slang language has a meaning as “girl”

6) Metaphor
 Metaphor means transferring the qualities and associations of one object to another in

order to make the meaning vivid in their mind. Usually metaphor can be noticed through the

use of verb “to be”. Metaphor is implied since it does not use the words “like” or “as”. The

metaphor in other words establishes an analogy between objects without actually saying that

it is establishing this contrast. The example of metaphor is: “my love is flower” means “I

have a good event in love.”

2.2.4 Functions of Slang

Slang commonly uses to serve social purposes: to identify members of a group, to

exchange the level of discourse in the direction of informality, to oppose established

authority. Sharing and maintaining a constantly changing slang vocabulary aids group

solidarity and serves to include and exclude members. Slang is linguistic equivalent of

fashion and serves much the same purposes.

According to Yanchun and Yanhong (2013), there are three functions of slang, those

are:

A. Pursuit of Self-identity

Since different social and professional groups have different slang, thus it is considered

as the symbol for dividing the professional groups in society. If somebody uses the words

and expressions within a certain social group or professional group, he will blend with

the group members from mentality. If a student says a sentence containing the special college

slang, he must want to get the result of showing and strengthening the emotion that he is

belonging to the inside of the teenager group. The American scholar P. Roberts cited from

Yanchun and Yanhong (2013) once pointed out that the reason people constantly use slang is

that they want to show they are one of the qualified members among a certain distinct groups.

B. Emotive Feeling of the Slang Users

 The emotive function reveals the speaker’s attitude towards his subject. The emotive

function is one of the most powerful uses of language because it is so crucial and important in

changing the emotional status of an audience for or against someone or something, the

emotive function help us get rid of our nervous energy when we are under stress.

Psychologically, slang helps people to express their strong feeling, like group identification

and so on. When people use it, they want to show them against the reality, and set them free

psychologically. As Allen suggests, cited from Yanchun and Yanhong (2013), "Slang is a

class of language, among other social and psychological uses, to deny allegiance to genteel,

elite, and proper society and to its standard linguistic forms."So that’s why many people use

slang in their conversation, from common people to intellectual groups, such as doctors,

lawyers, and politicians. In this aspect, slang for them not only for stressing identity or group

membership, but also for the psychological need for expressing emotion, which it is

the one of the basic functions of language as well.

C. Achieving Politeness

To discuss this topic, the termof register needs to be mentioned. Register refers to

"manner of speaking or writing specific to a certain function, that is, characteristic of a

certain domain of communication". The choice of register is affected by three factors,

occasions (formal or informal), addressee (age, gender, occupation, the degree of familiarity)

and the content of the conversation. Yanchun (2013) said that the use of slang is restrained by

the three factors as well. Either the use of slang in improper occasions or the use of slang not

to the right addressee, or the improper content in one's speech may ruin the friendship and

good relationship with your interlocutors. Therefore, the proper use of slang facilitates

setting up a certain atmosphere or maintaining social contacts. Slang is often used in

informal occasions and is of importance in playing the phatic function. The use of

slang can maintain the friendship and the harmony between our friends.
2.2.5 The Effect of Using Slang

According to Swanson and Golden (2010), slang has both positive and negative effect:

a. Positive

Positively speaking, we use slang to describe such attributes of a person's style,

attractiveness, or relationship status. "She's a sharp dresser" or "he looks smooth" are both

slang that describe someone who dresses nicely. In an attempt to describe an attractive

person, we may say that "he's hot", "she's fine", or "she's a babe". Moreover, slang can be

used to describe the user’s feeling. For example, a happy person may be described as psyched

(for excited), pumped, fired up, or thrilled.

b. Negative

For negative effect, slang primary used to describe the user’s emotion. For example,

when a person is angry, they will use slang word like “damn”, “shit”, or fuck” in their

conversation. And also, they use slang to describe someone who looks and dresses funny.

These words include: goober, dork, nerd, and geek. Typically, a nerd is stereotyped as being

intellectual, wears glasses that are taped at the joints, and always displays a pocket protector

in his dress shirt pocket stuffed with mechanical pencils, pens, and a slide ruler. Male

homosexuals are usually termed as fags, homos, flames, and fairies. A flirty female who

happens to be seen in public with many male friends may be called a slut, sleeze, or tramp.

2.2.6 The Synopsis of “ Ride Along” Movie

Ben is a high school security guard who had to prove himself to his brother James that

he deserves his girlfriend to marry. James, when undercover to catch smugglers Serbia 'boss

Omar, take Ben on a trip together to prove himself.

After a while, James gets information about a gun deal involving Omar's men.

Then, James meets J. He knows the location of a gun deal between the Serbian and Omar.

But J insisted not to say anything to them. At that moment, Ben accidentally shoots J, and
found that the deal would take place in an old abandoned warehouse at 9:00. Then, James

decided to infiltrate the warehouse with Santiago and Miggs, after leaving Ben behind in the

car. James then betrayed by Santiago and Miggs. A shootout ensues, and many of the men

were killed Omar. James and Ben took the money intended for the deal and escape.

Unbeknownst to them, Santiago, Miggs and Omar all fled.

Santiago and Miggs arrive at Angela's apartment and tie her up. At the hospital after

being shot in the leg, Ben receives a call from his friend that there's something going on at the

apartment. After that, James takes Ben and leaves to go to the apartment, along with Omar's

money. James then injures Miggs, before getting into a fight with Santiago. As Santiago is

about to shoot James, Angela knocks him out with a frying pan. Ben gets knocked out by

Omar in a fight, before Omar takes the bag of money and Angela, and leaves the apartment.

James follows Omar and Angela and confronts them. Exactly like Omar is to shoot

James, Ben slide over the car and kicked him, and James shoots Omar twice, wounding him.

Police arrested Omar, Miggs and Santiago. James gave Ben his blessing.
 CHAPTER IV

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

The researcher would like to conclude the study based on the data findings and

discussion which is presented in previous chapter.

4.1 Conclusion

Based on the findings and discussions in the previous chapter, the researcher

concludes that there are three types of slang used in Ride Along movie. First is society slang,

second is public house slang and the third is slang in medicine. The researcher determines

which slang is include in society slang or public house slang or slang in medicine by search

its meaning in some dictionaries and understand the content of the dialogue.

The researcher also analyzed the functions of using slang language in the Ride Along

movie. Based on the data presented and analyzed at the previous chapter, it can be concluded

that the functions of slang words uttered by the main characters in this movie are to pursuit of

self-identity, to show emotive feeling of the slang users, and to achieve politeness. By

understanding the function of slang, the researcher concludes that emotion is one of the

biggest factors why the speaker use slang word in their utterance. Moreover, for the effect of

using slang uttered by the main characters, the researcher found two effects: positive and

negative. Based on the research finding in chapter three, it can be concluded that to describe

their emotion is the main factor why they utter slang word.

Even for the first time, slang language is known as impolite and rude language

because it is used by criminals, and other lowest class of society. But, along with the growth

of language, using slang language is one of the ways to enrich the study of language.
Actually, slang language is no longer bad impolite language but it makes people more

creative to convey something in simpler way.

4.2 Suggestion

Through this paper, the writer suggests that slang can be one of the topics for research

study in the future especially for student of English Language ond Letters Department.

Studying about slang is enjoyable, entertaining, and amusing for someone who is interesting

in it. Slang can be explored by studying its characteristic, its reason for using it, its kinds, or

its linguistic process. In this study, the researcher tries to find out several slang terms in

movie and investigates the types and the functions of slang words uttered by the main

characters of “Ride Along” movie.

From this study, there is suggestion for the next researcher to improve the study about

slang with different theory, method, or research problem. Furthermore, the next researcher is

expected to analyze slang language phenomena using different theory and using novel, poem

or song as the data. Hopefully, it can give improvisation in study of slang and be useful for

others.

For students who want to learn about slang deeper, the researcher suggests watching

this movie because students can learn about at least three types of slang, the function and the

effect of using slang. Furthermore, by watching this movie, the students will be able to

understand where, when, in what situation, and with whom you can use the slang word.

Finally, this study is suggested to be a useful reference for people or future

researchers who are interested in doing the same research topic. Hopefully, this study can

give positive contribution to the development of research about slang.
