CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents such topics as: background of the study, statement of
the problems, purposes of the study, significance of the study, scope and limitation,
and definition of key terms. Each section is presented as follows.
1.1 Background of The Study
Sociolinguistics is a study about language and society. In fact, study about
sociolinguistic cannot be separated from language and social interaction. People who
study language in a certain society, at the same time, study language. As stated by
Wardhaugh, (2006: 13):
“Sociolinguistics is concerned with investigating the relationships between language and society with the goal being a better understanding of the structure of language and of how languages function in communication; the equivalent goal in the sociology of language is trying to discover how social structure can be better understood through the study of language”.
Besides, Kreidler (1998: 19) says that a language is a system of symbols
through which people communicate. The symbols may be spoken, written, or signed
with the hands. In addition, Wardhaugh (2006: 1) states that “A language is what the
members of a particular society speak”. Based on that statement that language is the
part of society, language has very important position in social life for
communication. Consequently, people have to study about language early. By using
the language, people can express their feeling, opinion, idea, suggestion, and give

There are many cultures in this world which become a factor for the
existence of the linguistic disparity and every community has their own language. In
addition, language variation is a basic fact of linguistic life. Hudson and Ferguson
(2006: 25) define that ‘linguistic items’ or ‘human speech patterns’ (presumably,
sounds, words, grammatical features, etc.) which we can uniquely associate with
some external factor (presumably, a geographical area or a social group). In this
case, Hudson and Ferguson agree that sounds, words, grammatical features, a
geographical area or a social group are causes the factor linguistic become variation.
The language variety makes language more unique and interesting. The language
variety may be classified more than one way. It includes dialect, idiolect, style,
pidgin and jargon. According to Tyagi and Misra (2011: 31):
“Jargon is a word or expression used by particular profession or group. Jargon is difficult for other to understand (ODE), e.g. 'medical jargon, ''legal jargon'. Jargon can also mean clumsy language that is hard to understand, synonymous with gibberish. Jargon should avoid except when meant for a particular audience.”
Based on the theory above, jargon is usually found in community or group
such as professions, since, law, academic, and social community. It can be seen in
social network such as twitter, facebook, chat room, and blog. In the one hand, many
communities use jargon in their daily conversation. In the fact, people who want to
know what jargon that is used in all community must join in that community. On the
pervious study, Octaviani (2011) studied about “English Jargon use in Friends
Room, In Paltalk”. She found jargons that were used in that group such as “ty” thank
you, “brb” be right back, “gn” good night. Astutik (2008) she found the jargon in

know”, “enyak- enyak” that mean is “ good”. In addition Susilo (2007) studied
jargon in Salon Yoes Community used by “Waria”. There are jargons found such as
“coco’ “that mean is “handsome”, “cumi-cumi” the mean is “kiss”, “kelinci” that
mean is “ small”. This phenomenon makes jargon is interested to be studied
In addition, a jargon is also found in movie. Movie is one of media audio
visual include sound, video, animation pictures etc. It not only gives entertainment
but also education. Movie can give many things to learn, such as about live, art,
science, technology. There are many jargons that are used in the movie, but there is
not any researcher who studied about jargon in movie.
Based on the reason above, the researcher is interested in investigating jargon
in the movie. In this study, the researcher will investigate jargons used in “A
Clockwork Orange” movie because there is a group of teenager in that movie use
many jargons. This movie is really interesting. It is unique from the title “Orange”.
In this case, “orange” does not mean a fruit which has orange color and sour taste,
but “orange” in this movie means “man” it’s taken from Melayu language “orang”.
There are many kinds of jargon used in this movie that is interesting to learn.
Hopefully, this analysis can enlarge language in society and enrich in sociolinguistic
study.

1.4 Scope and Limitation of the Study
The scope of this study is jargon used in “A Clockwork Orange” Movie. The
limitation is focuses on the types of jargon and their meaning in that movie script.
1.5 Significant of The Study
The researcher expect that the study meaningfully contribute to
sociolinguistics, theoretically and practically to increase the understanding of jargon.
Theoretically, the researcher hopes that the result of this study can give some
contributions for the reader to develop knowledge about jargon.
Practically, the findings of the study can give other reference, the researcher
stated as follows:
1. For the students who are interested in studying sociolinguistic, especially on
jargon.
2. For teachers, this study can give other reference in teaching sociolinguistics.
