1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1Background of The Study

Language is a tool of communication. It means that human need it to interact or communicate with others in daily life. Language plays a part in our life. The function of language is to make communication with other people and to deliver the

information in our society. Trudgill (1983:13) states that language is not simply a means of communicating information about the weather or any subject. It is also a

very important means of establishing and maintaining relationship with other people. In addition, the other function of language is to maintain our relationship with

environment.

Sociolinguistics is a study of language and culture in society. Sociolinguistic is a study of language and culture in society. Sociolinguistics related to human society,

including culture, norm, expectations, and context on the way language is used. Trudgill (1983:32) states that sociolinguistics is part of linguistics which is concerned with language as a social and cultural phenomenon. It investigates the field of

language and society and has close connections with the social sciences, especially social psychology, anthropology, human geography, and sociology.

Language has an important role in society, on how to communicate with each other. People cannot be separated with language is what the member of a particular society use for communication. However, speech in almost any society can take

(13)

example the dialect between east java and central java is different. Dialect in central

java more clam than dialect in east java.

The variety of language occurs in society due to several factors such as different

social status, different profession, age and gender. According to Brown in Intan (2011) stated that truckers, airlines pilots, salespersons, and farmer, for examples, use words and phrases unique to their own group. In the other word, the differences of

language cause language variation. Language variation is the existence of observable differences in the way a language is used in a speech community, Trask (1999:333).

The development of language is influenced by the society itself and creates many kinds of language variations; they are dialect, registers, jargon, colloquial, vernacular,

accent, pidgin, argot, and slang. In this study, the writer intended to discuss one of those language variations, that is slang.

Slang is informal and often ephemeral linguistics form, it means that slang is short live use. Slang words characterized by a high degree of informality, familiarity, and vocabulary richness. The member of particular social group usually introduces the slang expressions, they may remain the property of that group and badge of group

identity or they may instead become much more widely known and used (R. L. Trask, 1999). Slang words and expressions are characterized by a high degree of informality,

familiarity, vocabulary richness. They are realized by a specific group of people whose members are connected with some particular link, such as territory (Californian), age(teenagers), subculture (students), and mainly occur in the spoken

According to Sanjaya (2010) in the research analyzing the slang in the movie “The Longest Yard”, most of slang words are used in the conversation between actors

in the informal situation, such as: inmate and inmate, guard and inmate, inmate and

warden. It also happens between the guard and the warden, because slang is typical of informal conversation, and in movie, we can find words or expressions of slang. In this study the researcher interested in analyzing the words or the expression of slang

used in “August Rush” movie to enrich the vocabularies of slang words. The slang expressions found in “August Rush” movie such as “Louis. She ain't coming” it

means that she is not coming, Ain’t here means not. The other example is “How many dead presidents you got?”this meaning is “how much money you have?”

The researcher uses “August Rush” movie because the researcher finds out the phenomenon when watching this movie. Some of slang language was inserted in the movie especially in action movie, but in this movie as a drama movie inserted some

of American slang language to the conversation. Some of drama movie rarely used American slangs in their conversation, but in this movie the researcher found some of American slang. The people that mostly used American slang in “August Rush”

movie are the people from lower social class. The movie of “August Rush”, directed by Kristen Sheridan, has the good story in telling about biological family, orphan,

street musician, adoption. This movie also won some awards such as Broadcast Film Critics Association award on 2007 category best family film, and category best young actor; Chicago international film festival award on 2007 category film

in America is bound to encounter a confusing yet popular “inside” language used

by the inhabitants: slang and idiom. This is an ever-changing, ever-evolving language which is like a code that tends to segregate non-native speakers (Burke,

1997).
