ABSRAKSI

Azizah, Nor. 2012. Analysis of slang in the Movie Script of Twilight Saga

Eclipse by Melissa Rosenberg. Skripsi. Program Pendidikan Bahasa

Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Muria

Kudus. Pembimbing: (i) Agung Dwi Nurcahyo, SS, M.Pd., (ii)

Mutohhar, S.Pd, M.Pd.

Kata kunci: slang, makna slang sesuai konteks.

Bahasa mempunyai peranan penting dalam kehidupan manusia sebagai

alat komunikasi. Manusia mempunyai cara yang berbeda-beda untuk

mengekspresikan ide mereka dengan orang laing dalam situasi yang formal atau

resmi maupun informal atau tidak resmi. Sebagai alternatif untuk berkomunikasi

dengan orang lain dalam situasi yang informal, kebanyakan orang di negara yang

menggunakan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa nasional cenderung lebih suka untuk

menggunakan bahasa slang. Slang adalah salah satu variasi bahasa. Slang pada

mulanya digunakan sebagai bahasa sehari-hari oleh para remaja yang cenderung

lebih suka menggunakan bahasa Inggris yang mudah dicerna dan simpel serta

digabungkan dengan kata-kata slang atau bahasa prokem atau gaul. Mereka

meggunakan slang sebagai identitas kelompok. Slang juga sering muncul dalam

berbagai situasi yang informal seperti dalam naskah film, drama,dll.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah (1) tipe-tipe slang yang ditemukan

didalam naskah film ”Twilight Saga Eclipse” karya Melissa Rosenberg dan (2)

mencari makna slang sesuai konteks dalam naskah film ”Twilight Saga Eclipse”

karya Melissa Rosenberg.

Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kualitatif. Sumber data dalam

penelitian ini adalah naskah film ”Twilight Saga Eclipse” karya Melissa

Rosenberg sedangkan datanya adalah slang.

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, penulis menemukan dan mengidentifikasi (1)

ada 31 kata atau frasa yang termasuk dalam kategori slang yang terdapat dalam

naskah film ”Twilight Saga Eclipse” karya Melissa Rosenberg dan terbagi

menjadi 2 tipe yakni slang yang termasuk percakapan sehari-hari dan slang yang

termasuk bahasa atau ejaan sehari-hari. Ada 21 slang yang termasuk percakapan

sehari-hari dan 10 slang yang termasuk bahasa atay ejaan sehari-hari. (2) Makna

slang sesuai dengan konteks dapat ditemukan dalam konteks kalimat dan

tergantung pada konteks dan situasi. Dan makna kontekstual adalah hubungan

antara percakapan dan situasi di mana percakapan itu dipakai. Makna slang dalam

tipe percakapan sehari-hari dapat diperoleh sesuai dengan konteks kalimat. Makna

slang dalam tipe bahasa atau ejaan sehari-hari masih dapat dijumpai dalam kamus.

Berdasarkan penelitian ini, penulis menyarankan bahwa mahasiswa

Program Studi Pendidikan bahasa Inggris seharusnya mempelajari slang melalui

naskah film karena didalamnya terdapat banyak kata atau frasa yang termasuk

slang. Dan para dosen seharusnya mengajar slang dengan jelas dan mudah

dipahami oleh mahasiswa agar dapat memperkaya kosakata mereka dan

keterampilan penguasaan bahasa Inggris.
