CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Problem
Languages as a tool of communication have important roles in every human interaction. Language is used by people to socialize and interact to another people in society. Without language people cannot communicate, comprehend and make a relationship in their society. In communication there are many styles to convey the language in written or oral form.3 However, in human daily interaction, oral language is used in every cases because it expresses people’s idea to listener easily.
Through language, people can understand and comprehend what the speaker means.
It means that language has many variation in society which used by many people in this world. One of the famous varieties of language that used by many people is slang words.
According to Richard, the slang words is only known by group itself, it cannot be understand if we do not know what is the context when the group say the slang words.4 It means that slang is used by some communities. Slang is one of varieties of language in sociolinguistics used by society to interact each other based on context. Slang is popular in daily lives.5 Some people are quite active in forming and spreading slang, it is seen when they try to create unconventional words or

phrases that express either something new or something old in a new way and use it in daily life conversation such as in direct conversation, chatting, or in social network media.6 For example, people use the terms “awesome” and “cool” to describe something they approve of. Another example is an acronym “LOL”, it is widely used in direct message on the internet which means “Laugh Out Loud” and so on. We can find this kind of nonstandard words everywhere, it is not only popular in informal daily conversations, but also in magazine, radio, song and movie.
Movie provides many characters speaking language based on their community with each other. They consider that languages as a tool for discussion and at the time to make the relationships more effective for the communities. They create their own language structure that are different from the general structure of language. With variety of language they made, it can make their conversation become close and friendly in their community informal situation. Slang is expressed spontaneously and is not bound by a lot of grammatical norms. Variety of such language is not so systematic, interspersed with many regional languages and local dialects.
Slang is used in developing country to communicate each other. Every country has slang style based on their languages. The famous countries that mostly use slang words are America, United Kingdom and Australia, because these countries are places for every people in the world to come and also they study to get science and spend leisure time. People also can learn their language and also

their habit from any sources, one of them is movie. It can be seen the slang words in Fast and Furious 7 Movie, because this movie tells about the culture from America, where the culture includes language and habit. Especially in this movie from America and it shows the slang words from this country. Slang is often used in Fast and Furious 7 Movie. It can be seen in the dialogue below.
Roman : You just didn’t tell them that this is not for you! This is not your mission!
Brian : Hey Rom? Hey, what’s up man? Talk to me, come on!
Roman : I can’t do it.
Brian : The hell you can’t! Come on man! You throw that thing in reverse and get your ass out here now!
Roman : Look, I can’t do it, okay? Listen to what I’m saying.
Brian : Now isn’t the time!
The conversation above happened when all of the team have arrived in land, Roman still fly because he was very afraid to fall down in land and Brian made Roman trust with him that everything would be alright. In this case the writer uses context of the conversation in the movie to get the meaning. Hence based on the social meaning, the meaning of hell as damn.
The writer chooses Fast and Furious 7 movie for this research because this movie got People Choices Awards in 20167 and also Teen Choice Awards 2015.8 And then the writer found there are many slang words spoken by characters in this movie, the characters also use slang words to communicate each other like the example above. The characters in this movie show their habit in America, it means that this movie tells the American culture, language and habit which are not all

movie show it. This movie also tells about the race of the cars war which in United States of America, Dominic Toretto and his crew became a winner from Owen Shaw and saved the God Eye’s as the application that can control the world. There are many interesting characters in this film such as Dominic Toretto, Brian O’conner, Letty, Mia, Luke Hobbs, Roman Pearce, Tej Parker.

CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK 2.1 Sociolinguistics
Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language use and the structure of society. It takes into account such factors as the social backgrounds of both the speaker and the addressee.9 It means that it is influence by some factors such as social background both of the speaker and the listener, the relationship and the context and the manner of interaction, so it is important to comprehend about structure and function of the language that use in each situation.
Sociolinguistic is a very broad field and it can be used to describes many different ways of studying language.10 How to explain why people speak differently in different case social contexts, and they concern to identifying the social functions of language and how they convey the concept to society. According to Wardhaugh in his book:
”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”.11
It means that sociolinguistics is a study of language in society between language and people have relationship that cannot separate because people use the language to interact in each their conversation. So that, everyone can see about

social condition in a social community or can see using language that they use. This statements
From explanation above, the writer conclude that sociolinguistics is explain about the relationship between language and society, and the effect to all of the aspects of society, include cultural norms, expectations, and contexts in language that use. Where people give a great contribution to development of language. And the result are to find out the structure of that language and how language functions in their communication. They always use language, when they want to express their feeling, idea, and opinion.
2.2 The Slang Words
According Oxford Dictionary, slang defined as very informal words and expressions used in spoken conversation especially by a particular group of people.12 It means that slang is an informal words that used by particular social group for informal communication to interact each other. According to Eble:
“Slang is an ever changing set of colloquial words and phrases that speakers use to establish or reinforce social identity or cohesiveness within a group or with a trend or fashion in society at large. The existence of vocabulary of this sort within a language is possibly as old as language itself, for slang seems to be part of any language used in ordinary interaction by a community large enough and diverse enough to have identifiable subgroups.”13
It means that slang is like a fashion or lifestyle that, it changes anytime rapidly depending on decade. Many people use slang, it is because most people are individuals who desire uniqueness, it stands to reason that slang has been existence for as long as language has been in existence.
12Oxford University Press, Oxford Learners Pocket Dictionary, (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008), p.415
13Josef Schmied, Student Slang at IIT Madras: A Linguistic Field Study, (Technische Universität Chemnitz: 2006), p.10
Based on those definitions above the writer conclude that slang can be described as informal non-standard words which tends to originate in subcultures within a society. Slang has no societal boundaries or limitations as it can exist in all cultures and classes of society as well as in all languages. Basically Slang expressions are created in the same way as standard speech. In addition, the words are used as slang that may be new coinages, existing words may acquire new meanings, narrow meanings of words may become generalized, words may be abbreviated, etc. However, in order for the expression to survive, it must be.
2.3 Types of Slang Words
In discussing slang, surely we have to know about the types of slang first.
According to Eric Partridge in his book “Slang, Today, and Yesterday” he states:
“The different kinds of slang are numerous, and I propose to treat of only the twenty four most important: after all there are limits”.14 In this part, the writer will explain some types of slang words. Some of slang types are:
1. Public House Slang
As the part of types of slang, public house group words and phrases make up for the smallness of the recorded vocabulary by nature the subject. The definition of public house slang is considered as public house group words and phrases make up for the smallness of the recorded vocabulary by nature the subject. It is the main, genial, cheery, materialistic, but not gross nor cynical.15 The examples of public house slang are:
14 Eric Partridge, Slang Today and Yesterday, (London: Routledge & Regan Paul, 1950), p.
148.
15Eric Partridge, Slang Today and Yesterday, p. 159.
a. Favorite Vice ‘strong drink taken habitually’.
b. Liquor, A publican’s euphemism for the water they use in adulterating beer. In liquor ‘drunk’.
c. Straight drinking ‘drinking while standing in the bar’.
2. Slang in Public School and University
In these type students become the main source, because they are fresh, full of spirit to move forward for their future. In public school as in board schools and private, it happened about more than two centuries, there are two kinds of slang; a slang proper and gibberish. The other kind of slang is almost impossible to generalize, for every school has its special words known to no other school.16 Here are some examples of public school slang:
a. Bonse ‘head’, for example “Look out, or I’ll fetch you a whack across the bonse”
b. Bung ‘a lie’, example; “everything he said is a bung”
c. What’s the mat? ‘What is the matter?’
Slang language in the university different from the slang that use in public school. They tends to leave and replace their old school slang and change it with the slang in the university. They grow into adults and cannot hold back and choose to do new things or ways of thinking in and create their own rules. Now they are accustomed to speak bluntly in their conversation with friends in university. The examples of slang words or phrases that are used in university:
16Eric Partridge, Slang Today and Yesterday, p. 202
a. Damn ‘damage’.
b. Leccer ‘a lecture’.
c. Brute ‘one who has not matriculated’.
3. 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. There are 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 calling.17
Based on the statement above, the writer conclude that Society slang is commonly used in daily conversation and connected to the society. Society slang is a term that the vocabularies generally show the world, and life. Here are the examples of the society slang:
a. Showy ‘over-dressed’.
b. Vogue ‘means fashion or mode’.
c. Thou ‘a thousand pounds sterling’.
From explanations above, it can be conclude that there are some kinds of slang that used by group of society, so the writer uses this theory to find the slang
17Eric Partridge, Slang Today and Yesterday, p. 214.
words types by the main characters Dominic Toretto, Brian O’conner, Letty, Roman Pearce, Tej, and Luke Hobbs in Fast and Furious 7 Movie.
2.4 Pragmatic
Pragmatics is one of those words that give the impression that something quite specific and technical is being talked about when often in fact it has no clear meaning and focuses on mainly on the investigation of speech acts.18 The differences between Syntax, Semantics, and Pragmatics in the context itself, Syntax focuses on the relationship between linguistics forms and how they are arranged in well sequence forms. Semantics is defined as the study of the relationship between linguistics forms and entities in the world. Syntax and Semantics do not consider social aspects of the linguistics.
On the other hand, pragmatics focuses on the relation between linguistics and the speakers of those forms. Pragmatics consider human into analysis, in contrast Syntax and Semantics do not consider human into analysis.19 In the real life people do not always speak directly to convey what they want in order to be polite and also respect others. In some particular situations, people would rather to speak indirectly than directly. For example, when a woman is sitting in very hot room with her friends then she says. It is very hot in here20.The sentence does not mean that she just makes a statement of the room condition that is very hot temperature but it is an implicit request for her friends to open the windows. She can directly say open
18Eva Alcon Soler and Aricia Martinez Flor, Investigating Pragmatics in Foreign Language Learning, Teaching and Testing, (New York: Cromwell Press, 2008), p. 3.
19 Alison Wray, Kate Trott & Aileen Bloomer, Projects in Linguistics A Practical Guide to Researching Language, (New York :Arnold, 1997).
20Michael, L. Scott, Programing Language Pragmatics, (United States of America: Denise Penrose Press, 2006), p. 4.
the windows please! But here she wants to be more polite so she uses an indirect request. Furthermore, context in language plays an important role in interpreting meaning. In a particular sentence, different context will derive different interpretation. Such as in this sentence. The meaning of utterances can be interpreted based on the situation or context. The study of language which focuses on the speaker meaning and context meaning is called Pragmatics. This statement is supported by some linguists such as. Istvan Kecskes and Laurance defined pragmatics as the study of meaning in the relation to a speech situation.21 Similarly, Evala Alcon Soler and Alicia Martinez Flor also say that pragmatics is study of speaker meaning and contextual meaning where it focuses on the use of human language in communication which is influenced by the condition of society.22
From explanations above, it can be concluded that pragmatics is about explaining how people produce and understand everyday utterances. Pragmatics is very close to context and situation of the speaker and listener where the conversations take place.
This part discusses some relevant theories which are related to the pragmatics study. In this discussion there are 2 parts of pragmatics are presented:23
1. Context
Context as any relevant condition of the dynamic setting or environment in which is a linguistic unit used by the speaker. Furthermore; Lousie states that
21Istvan Kecskes and Laurance, Exploration In Pragmatics Linguistics, Cognitive and Intercultural Aspects, (Germany: 2007), p. 9.
22Evala Alcon Soler and Alicia Martinez Flor, Investigating Pragmatics in Foreign Language Learning, Teaching and Testing,, p. 3.
23Lousie Cummings, Clinical Pragmatics, (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2009), p. 13
context can be seen in three different sources. First, there is the physical context, which refers to the physical setting of the utterances. Second type is the linguistic context, which refers to the surrounding utterances in the same discourse.
Finally, third is general knowledge of the context.24 There are some aspects of the communicative context. First is the language user: utterance and interpreter.
Second is the mental world. Third is the social world. Finally is the physical world.
2. Speech Act
Yule defines a speech act as an activity of a participant who communicates through language, in some conventional ways, to obtain at some outcome.25 A speech act can also be defined as the basic unit of analysis in a spoken interaction. He then also adds that requesting is one type of speech act and there are two ways in performing an indirect request. They are content condition and preparatory condition. These two terminologies have the same functions as a request, but in different forms. In speech act includes the speaker, addresses, and utterance. An utterance is something that someone says. The function of it is to express ideas or feeling in spoken words.
Supporting the definition above, David R. Traum and Peter A. Heeman explain that an utterance is a communicative unit which contains some linguistics terms.26 Those terms are words, clauses, phrases, and clause combinations related
24Lousie Cummings, Clinical Pragmatics, p. 18.
25Victoria Fromkin, et al., An Introduction to Language, p. 55.
26David R. Traum and Peter A. Heeman, “Utterance Units in Spoken Dialogue,”
Internationial Journal, University of Maryland, 1994, p. 5.
to the context. Chaer says that an utterance does not have a definite linguistic definition. An utterance can be seen clearly in a dialogue, and each statement that is said by a speaker is called as an utterance.27 Besides, phonetically an utterance can be defined as a unit of speech bounded by silence. In this case, speech events are needed to interpret them correctly. One may simply utter a single speech act in a single utterance, and one may utter some utterances without performing a single speech act clearly, but it allows the hearer to react as, if the request had been made.
From the explanation above, the writer use context because the writer want to analyze the meaning of slang based on the situation and condition when the speaker uttered a sentences or dialogue by the main characters Dominic Toretto, Brian O’conner, Letty, Roman Pearce, Tej, and Luke Hobbs in Fast and Furious 7 Movie.
2.5 The Reason for Using Slang Words
Slang can be defined as informal language, which may include words or meanings which are impolite. It is used by some communities and usually spoken rather than written. Because most people are individuals who desire uniqueness, and fashionable it stands to reason that slang has been in existence for as long as language has been in existence. According to Eric Partridge, people use slang for any of at least 15 reasons:28
1. In sheer high spirits, by the young in heart as well as by the young in years;
'just for the fun of the thing'; in playfulness or waggishness.
27Abdul Chaer, Linguistik Umum, (Jakarta: Rineka Cipta, 1995), p. 24.
28Eric Partridge, Slang Today and Yesterday, p. 6
2. As an exercise either in wit and ingenuity or in humour. (The motive behind this is usually self-display or snobbishness, emulation or responsiveness, delight in virtuosity).
3. To be 'different', to be novel.
4. To be picturesque (either positively or - as in the wish to avoid insipidity - negatively).
5. To be unmistakeably arresting, even startling.
6. To escape from clichés, or to be brief and concise. (Actuated by impatience with existing terms.)
7. To enrich the language. (This deliberateness is rare save among the well- educated, Cockneys forming the most notable exception; it is literary rather than spontaneous.)
8. To lend an air of solidity, concreteness, to the abstract; of earthiness to the idealistic; of immediacy and appositeness to the remote. (In the cultured the effort is usually premeditated, while in the uncultured it is almost always unconscious when it is not rather subconscious.)
9a. To lessen the sting of, or on the other hand to give additional point to, a refusal, a rejection, a recantation;
9b. To reduce, perhaps also to disperse, the solemnity, the pomposity, the excessive seriousness of a conversation (or of a piece of writing);
9c. To soften the tragedy, to lighten or to 'prettify' the inevitability of death or madness, or to mask the ugliness or the pity of profound turpitude (e.g. treachery,
ingratitude); and/or thus to enable the speaker or his auditor or both to endure, to 'carry on'.
10. To speak or write down to an inferior, or to amuse a superior public; or merely to be on a colloquial level with either one's audience or one's subject matter.
11. For ease of social intercourse. (Not to be confused or merged with the preceding.)
12. To induce either friendliness or intimacy of a deep or a durable kind. (Same remark.)
