SWEARWORDS USED IN DETECTED MOVIE VIEWED BY SPEECH ACT THEORY

This thesis examines the swearwords using the speech act theory in Accepted movie directed by Steve Pink. The objectives of this research are; (1) To find kinds of swearwords used by the characters. (2) To classify the speech act categories used by the characters when they uttered the swearwords. (3) To investigate the contexts of swearing. The dominant kind of speech act in the swearwords that the characters use is expressive because Americans get used to express their feelings spontaneously. The most dominant context that appeared is dysphemistic context that makes the movie more interesting with the creative metaphors.


INTRODUCTION
Analyzing how people use language in different contexts provides impressive information about the way language works.Every language expresses how people think, feel, act and how they draw the connections between the statement and its meaning based on the situation.A major challenge that linguists face is the speakers completely show the expression or feeling of anger, disappointment, happiness, sadness, and loneliness through the language by producing the swearwords.Andersson, L.G., & Trudgill, P. (2007, p. 195) gave an understandable definition, that swearwords are the words' choice from speakers that have negative meanings because they are rude and offensive.
They also listed three different motives for swearing; psychological motives, social motives, and linguistic motives.Furthermore, Rullyanti (2014)  specifically he intends to have some intentions to the listener, and wants the listener to recognize this intention.One way to investigate this uniqueness is through the perspective of speech act in pragmatics.
Pragmatics is concerned with the study of meaning as communicated by a speaker (or a writer) and interpreted by a listener (or a reader), George Yule (1996, p. 3).This branch of linguistic explores how the interpretation of the speaker's intended meaning and how the languages are more communicated than is said.In an attempt to express them, people do not only produce utterances containing grammatical structures and words, they also perform actions via those utterances, John Searle (1975) in George Yule (1996, p. 47) Creswell, (2003, p. 24).The techniques

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
Based on the findings, the amount of swearwords in analysis instrument is 83.From the 83 swearwords that are found in the movie, the using of excrement swearwords mostly appeared in the utterances.There is about 24 excrement swearwords that have been detected, the second swearword that commonly used is sexual organs that appeared 19 times, and then religion swearword that appeared 16 times.swearword "the shitter".Ben commits to the implied assertion to describe that the system of education in America is in a mess.It is another way to state that the system of education in America now is not worth it to be applied to the students.
The representative here more refers to the assertion of something which is being the case as the truth in Ben's point of view. There languages, hence the name, which are restricted to be used in conversations because it could offend the addressee and the listeners, e.g.shit, fuck, bitch, dick, damn, etc.On the contrary, Steven Pinker (2007, p. 68) mentioned that swearwords are a natural part of our language, and they are undoubtedly one of the most efficient ways to do away with extra frustration or anger in difficult situations.It can be one of the parts of spontaneous forms, kinds of jokes, and it depends on the contexts that occurred.As the result of Steven Pinker's study in The Stuff of Thought: Language As a Window IntoHumanNature (2007, p. 68) of the data analysisthatwere used to analyze the swearwords in a movie entitled Accepted; (1) watching the movie to understand the story line and the using of swearwords used by the characters, (2) cutting the scenes that contains swearword utterances in the movie, (3) selecting the utterances in the transcription which used the swearwords and coding them, (4) classifying the word in the dialogues in which the types of swearwords, (5) analyzing the speech act categories used by the characters when they uttered the swearwords, (6) analyzing the context of swearing in the dialogues and (7) concluding the results of swearwords analysis in speech act theory and the context of swearing.The utterances are existed as supporting ideas in strengthen the research especially about the use of swearwords.Reading related articles about swearwords from many books is another way besides reading journals and articles from internet.
Physically and mentally disabled swearwords then come afterward with 9 times appearances, and then there are also narcotics and crimes with the amount of swearwords are 10, prostitution swearwords are 4, and the last kind that less appeared than the others is death swearword.In the movie, there is only 1 utterance that has death swearword.As the most commonly used by the characters, the excrement swearwords can be analyzed by the words such as "shit" and "snot".Take a word of "shit" that is uttered by Bartleby in Accepted."So, we'll just pack everybody up and get out of here."(Bartleby) "Okay, let's go!" (Schrader) (The bell rang) "Shit!" (32-34 (Bartleby) 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,5000).The word of "Shit!" as human or animal excrement has considered a dirty material.But when it is used in the utterance above, it also means something that is unwanted by the speaker who say it.So, based on the excrement swearword finding in the movie, the words such "shit" and "snot" are considered as a swearword.Although the meaning of them does not always refer to the dirty materialsit can be a form of some kind of misfortune.Whenever people state it in every occasion, it is still a swearword, that is connected with the theory fromAndersson, L.G., & Trudgill, P. (2007, p.   195).So, the reason why the characters used excrement swearwords is because they intended to express their feeling based on the misfortunes that they had in the movie..Sexual organs and sexual relationsas the second kind of swearword that used in the movie, can be analyzed in a utterance spoken by Ben."I'm going off the grid.No more, uh, franchises, no more Botox, no more "Eh, oh, let's clone another goat."And certainly no more sexual harassment suits.What's wrong with saying, "Hey!Nice tits."(495 -499 (Ben) 00:21:35,235 --> 00:21:47,700).The word of "tits" actually means nipples on human breasts.It becomes swearword because talking about nipples in front of the people is inappropriate.It is related by the theory from Andersson, L.G., & Trudgill, P. (2007, p. 195) who stated that sexual organs can be considered in impolite statement even the situation is in Biology class or medical occasions.The third kind of swearword that commonly used in the movie is religion and church, which appeared in the utterance spoken by Schrader."What the hell is going on here?"(39-41 (Schrader) 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,500).The word of "the hell" that uttered by Schrader actually related to the religion worshippers who believe that there is a certain place for bad people afterlife.But when it is used as a swearword in an asking sentence, the meaning has changed into the emphasizing to the question sentence that is influenced by the curios feeling of the speaker.The following utterance below also contains a swearword about religion.It is connected by the theory from Andersson, L.G., & Trudgill, P. (2007, p. 195) who stated that the changing meaning from the the religion worshippers who believe that there is a certain place for bad people afterlife to the emphasizing expression toward the intention of the speaker for asking sentence.The researcher also found the fourth swearword kind which is commonly used by the characters in the movie.The physically and mentally disabled is used in this utterance."It's not my fault the kid's a crybaby!Little dipshit."(507(Ben) 00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:06,000).The word of "dipshit" that uttered by Ben is considered as a swearword because the meaning belongs to the mentally disabled or someone that Merry…… 95 has a lack of intelligent mind and behaves stupid which is inappropriate to state in front of people and can annoy the people who hear it.It is related to the theory from Andersson, L.G., & Trudgill that the using of words about physically and mentally disadvantaged soon become offensive, which is match with the situation when Ben uttered the swearword to the little kid, the little kid and his mother became angry with Ben.So, the word of "little dipsit" is categorized as a swearword.The same pattern of analysis also happened in the fifth, sixth, and seventh swearwords that are used in the movie.Narcotics and crimes as the fifth swearword that commonly used, can be seen in a utterance spoken by Mr. and Mrs. Gaines."Are you huffing?Are you high?You're huffing grass?" (150-151(Mrs.Gaines and Mr. Gaines) 00:06:12 --> 00:06:14).The words of "huffing" and "huffing grass" actually refer to some kind of activities that related to sipping, using, or consuming drugs and marijuana.Meanwhile, the word of "high" here means a hallucinogenic from drugs, making the people who consumed it can not behave and think clearly.By understanding the meaning of the words, so the researcher categorized these words in narcotics swearword.As the sixth swearword, the example of prostitution swearword that uttered by Ben, "Look, we throw a lot of fancy words in front of these kids, in order to attract them to going to school, in the belief that they're gonna have a better life.And we all know that all we're doing is breeding a whole new generation of buyers and sellers.Buyers and sellers!Pimps and whores.Pimps and whores!" (594-601(Ben) 00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:32,700).The word of "pimp" actually means a man who controls prostitutes, finds the customers from them and makes a profit for them.Meanwhile, the word of "whore" also has negative meaning, because it refers to women prostitutes.Both of them are rude and inappropriate to be said in the conversation, so we call them as swearwords.Death swearword as the last kind of swearword has a less usage than the others can be seen in the utterance that also spoken by Ben."I'm glad my mother's dead."(473 (Ben) 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,200).The word of "my mother's dead" is inappropriate to be said in the conversation.So, it is considered as a swearword.The last three swearwords above are also related by the theory from Andersson, L.G., & Trudgill, which categorized the swearwords based on the meaning of the swearword when it is occurred.As an addition, the researcher also analyzed the characters who mostly used the swearwords are Bartleby and Ben.About 21 swearwords from the 79 amount of it are spoken by Bartleby, who acted as a main character who has an expressive personality and acted smart to find some excuses when he was involved in troubles.Meanwhile, Ben also utters about 20 swearwords.Steve Pink as the director of the movie seemed to want to give a color to the movie by the free expressions of the characters who state whatever they feel through the utterances that makes the movie becomes more interesting.The character of Ben is described as a desperate old man who was a former of a great lecturer in a famous university, was disappointed with the system of education in America.So, during his desperate time, he cursed whenever he felt the negative emotion even as an expression to state something.It is connected with the theory from Steven Pinker (2007, p. 68) who mentioned that swearwords are a natural part of our language, and they are undoubtedly one of the most efficient ways to do away with extra frustration or anger in difficult situations.
is a reason why expressives mostly used the movie.The characters in the movie which live in America that already get used to express everything they feel through the utterances spontaneously.Steven Pink seemed to make the plot of the movie more interesting with the variety of swearwords expressions every time the characters find troubles.The second speech act that mostly used in the movie is directives.Directives can be recognized by the utterance that attempts by the speaker to get theaddressee to do something and to express what the speaker wants, such as requesting, asking, suggesting, commanding and ordering, according to John Searle (1975 in George Yule, 1996, p. 53).The researcher found the using of directives that is connected to the theory above.It can be seen in the utterance stated by Schrader."Fine.Get off me, you idiot.But we need some sort of, like, mission statement or something."(27403,900).The speech act category for the utterance is Directives as an asking expression from Schrader to ask Bartleby to stop hugging him.He wanted Bartleby to get off his hugging so bad, so he called Bartleby as idiot, which is considered as a mentally disabled in swearword.So, through the swearword, Schrader actually did not want to be hugged Bartleby and ask him to stop hugged him.The third speech act that mostly used in the movie is representatives, that can be recognized in the utterances that commit the speaker to the truth of the expressed proposition, such as statement of facts, assertion or description, according to John Searle (1975 in George Yule, 1996, p. 53).A utterance found by the researcher in the movie is connected with the theory.It can be understood in the utterance stated by Ben."What were you expecting?A Renaissance of the human spirit?American education is in the shitter.You know why?Because people forget the most important rule."(1005-1007 (Ben) 00:43:51,635 --> 00:44:01,000).The utterances contain a speech act when Ben uttered a Bartleby also wanted to show his empathy feeling.The utterance is related to the theory from Steven pinker (2007, p. 68) that swearwords as a natural part of our language that has different purpose based on the context when it is occurred.In this context, the purpose of swearword is to show the empathy feeling between two close friends that can tighten the friendship.Meanwhile, different context is spoken by Ben as a fake dean of South Harmon Institute of Technology when he was in a formal meeting with Bartleby's family."It is so refreshing to have somebody approach education so rationally."(Mrs.Gaines) 00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:31,600, "Fuckin' A!" 33,200).The context for the first utterance is Idiomatic swearing, when Ben used it without really referring to the matter to show that he's agree with Mrs. Gaines compliment.The theory from Steven Pinker (2007, p. 72) about idiomatic that is uttered without really referring to the matter -just using the words to arouse interest is proven based on the example.that the characters used excrement swearwords is because they intended to express their feeling based on the misfortunes that they had in the movie.The swearwords utterances are
