1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study
In this globalization and modernization era, it is undeniable that language has an important role in our daily life. As the users of language, human beings use language as their equipment for daily communication needs. As an important aspect in human‟s life, language has a role to communicate a person to another person in order to get information. The person to communicate with is not only a user of the same language but also a user of a foreign language. Therefore, learning a foreign language becomes a way to get new knowledge or to get actual information. Meeting foreigners who use different kinds of language make us not only learn how to use foreign languages but also learn the foreign cultures.
The English language is a language that used and spoken widely in the world. Therefore, the English language is used in so many kinds of field, for example, in the international forums like the United Nations, automotive industries, computers, game industries, internet, movie industries, advertisements, journalistic, and also in educational use. The purpose of translation is to communicate the people from different countries with different kinds of language.
Basically, in this era, cross-cultural interactions can be found easily in our society. It happens because of the influences of human developments in line with the developments of technology. It is easy to find some products like imported movies or literatures from the English speaking countries which use English as its language. In order to understand the contents and meanings inside those products we need to have translation skills, at least to translate English into Indonesia in an appropriate way. Therefore, it is essential to know what translation is, because the English language and the Indonesian language have differences in the language systems, such as grammar, sounds, and also the meaning of words which sometimes cannot be translated or applied to each other.
The most important aspects in translation are the form, the content, the context and the message. A translator may have an authority to make changes in a sentence structure of a target language, as long as it still represents the true meaning of the sentence as in the source language without ignoring the context. The meaning and the message which are expressed by the source language sentence should be unchanged.
The English language, as the Indonesian language, has many kinds of expressive words which often appear in daily conversations, for example, taboo words, toilet humor and swear words, or even dirty words. If a person lacks of knowledge about the goals of using those kinds of words he/she will find some misunderstandings in communication, or even some difficulties to get information, more importantly, if the words are in English. According to Andersson and Trudgill, swear word can be defined as:
A type of language use in which the expression; (a) refers to something that is taboo and/or stigmatized in the culture; (b) should not be interpreted literally; (c) can be used to express strong emotions and attitudes (1992: 53).
The definition above concludes that swear words are taboo or not supposed to be spoken when involved in a formal conversation. On the other hand, swear words might be useful in some groups of people who often use it as their style in daily communications like in the USA, especially the group of youths and teenagers. Some others consider that they are freer to express their feelings by using swearing words in their daily communications with other people.
The researcher of this thesis intends to analyze the subtitle of the movie South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999). This movie is actually a cartoon and
B. Problem Formulation
The research is carried out to answer two research questions as follows: 1. How are the Indonesian translations of taboo and swear words in South Park
Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999) the movie seen from their equivalence?
2. What purposes are expressed in the swear words in South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999) the movie?
C. Objectives of the Study
D. Definition of Terms
The first is swear words. According to Andersson and Trudgill, swear word is a type of language used in which the expression; (a) refers to something that is taboo and/or stigmatized in the culture; (b) should not be interpreted literally; (c) can be used to express strong emotions and attitude. (1992: 53).
The second is South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999).It is an American movie produced in 1999. It is an animation movie for adults and also musical comedy directed by Trey Parker, a series co-creator. The film raises the issues of television censorships and the issue of bad parenting. The dialogues in the movie mostly use swear words which are spoken by the characters. According to Weinstock, South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999) movie is, “A story about the dangerous consequences of censorship and the importance of free speech (even if it is only profanity), dramatically and hilariously heightening the stakes by intersecting the cautionary tale with a parody of the Apocalypse” (2011: 61).

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
A. Review of Related Studies
First, the research conducted by Winda Rahayu (2014) who analyzes the swearing words that used through the characters in The Gray movie by collecting the data from the movie transcripts. In her research, there are two main problems. There first is the classification of swear words in The Gray movie and the second is the purpose of using swearing words by the characters in The Gray movie. This research analyses the classifications of swear word appears in The Gray movie transcript and tries to find the influences why swear words are used by the characters. Rahayu‟s thesis does not discuss about the meanings of swear words in the Indonesian translations text while this thesis discusses the equivalence of Indonesian translation of swear words and purpose of using swear words.
Second, the research conducted by Budiwanto Cipto (2006) as an undergraduate thesis in Petra Christian University entitled “An Analysis of Swear Words in Jackass the Movie". The object of this research is the dialogues and the objectives are only to investigate the characteristics and reasons of using swear words. Cipto investigates the use of swear words in the dialogues of Jackass, but it does not focus on the target language, while this study identifies the
Third, the research conducted by Marya Mujayani entitled “An Analysis of Swearing Words Translation in Sidney Sheldon’s a Stranger in the Mirror into
Indonesian Sosok Asing dalam Cermin by Hidayat Saleh” (2006). This research discusses about two problems. First is, the strategies of translation which applied in translating swearing words in Sidney Sheldon‟s “A Stranger in the Mirror” into Indonesian “Sosok Asing dalam Cermin” by Hidayat Saleh. The second point is about the accuracy of English translation of swearing words in the “A Stranger
in the Mirror”. In this research, the writer uses questionnaires as the instrument of her study and the data are the sentences which containing swearing words. The differences between Mujayani‟s research with this research are, first, the object of the study, Mujayani uses a novel A Stranger in the Mirror as the object, while this research uses movie subtitles as the object of the study. Second, the previous research only analyzing the accuracy of the swearing words translation, while this study discusses about the equivalence of Indonesian translation and the classifications of the swear words based on their purposes in subtitles of South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999).
is functional or not. The differences between Hendy‟s research and this research are on the problems. This research focuses on the movie subtitle, both English and Indonesian as the objects to collect the data and the aim are to find out the equivalence whether it is formal or dynamic and purposes of swear words.
B. Review of Related Theories 1. Theory of Translation
There are many language experts and linguists who give several definitions about translation. According to Newmark, “Translation is a craft that consisting in the attempt to replace a written message and/or statement in one language by the same message and/or statement in another language” (1988: 7). It is clear that, translation is about transferring the written messages from one language into another language without changing the meaning of the message.
Another definition is given by Nida and Taber, who explain that, “Translating consists of reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural
equivalent of the source language message, first, in terms of meaning and second, in terms of style” (1982: 12-13). Here, the messages must be equivalent and the
equivalence must be natural in terms of style and meanings.
2. Process of Translation
Nida and Taber say there are two kinds of translation process. The first one,
Consists of setting up a series of rule which are intended to be applied strictly in order and are designed to specify exactly what should be done with each item or combination of items in the source language so as to select the appropriate corresponding form in the receptor language”.(1982: 33).
In figure 1 the A is the source language and B is target language. The (X) in the middle represents or stands for any kind of intermediate structure or universal structure. The second one,
Consists of a more elaborate process comprising three stages: (1) analysis, in which the surface structure (i.e. the messages as given in A) is analyzed in terms of (a) the grammatical relationship and (b) the meaning of the words and combination of words, (2) transfer, in which the analyzed material is transferred in the mind of the translator from language A to language B, and (3) restructuring, in which the transferred material is restructured in order to make the final message fully acceptable in the receptor language (1982: 33).
A (SL) B (TL)
(Analysis) (Restructuring)
X--- (Transfer) ---Y
3. Theory of Equivalence
The researcher of this thesis decided to use theory of equivalence to answer the first problem formulation which applied in the previous chapters. The theory of equivalence is taken from Nida who divides theory of equivalence into two categories, the first is formal equivalence and the second is dynamic equivalence.
a. Formal Equivalence He says that,
Formal equivalence focuses attention on the message itself, in both form and content. In such a translation one is concerned with such correspondence as poetry to poetry, sentence to sentence and concept to concept. Viewed from this formal orientation, one is concerned that the message in the receptor language should match as closely as possible the different elements in the source language. This means, for example, that the message in the source culture is to determine standards of accuracy and correctness (1964: 159)
b. Dynamic Equivalence He says that,
A translation of dynamic equivalence aims at naturalness of expression and tries to relate the receptor to modes of behaviors relevant within the context of his own culture, it does not insist that he understand the cultural patterns of the source language context in order to comprehend the message … in such a translation the focus of attention is directed, not so much toward the source message as toward the receptor response (1964: 159-166)
The translator uses natural expression to express the message in the SL. It should be done by relating it to the context of SL into TL. The grammatical structure can be ignored because the point is on the meaning of message which is spoken through the language that expressed by the speakers. The message from SL should be transferred equally to TL. The context in TL should be relevant with the context in SL.
4. Film Subtitle
According to Schwarz, subtitle must be clear and ease of reading and it is made for the audience who does not understand the film (2002: 2-5). She explains further that, there are at least eight requirements needed in making the subtitle in film to make it clear and ease of reading, as follows:
a. Subtitle is placed at the bottom of the screen either left aligned or centered. It must not across the screen because it disturbs the visual or pictures of a film. b. Subtitle also consists of only one or two line with no more than 35 characters
including spaces.
d. Subtitle must use font style, for example Italics, to mark foreign words or to emphasize particular words in the dialogue.
e. Capitals are used in subtitle indicate important information which is not part of the dialogues, such as voices from radio, television, or loudspeaker. Capitals are also used for written words as for example, on posters, letters, or newspaper when the content is important to the story line.
f. To unsure synchronization with the spoken word and the image, conversations in the subtitle have to be condensed in a layout which helps audience to identify different speakers.
g. Punctuation in subtitle used to convey interpersonal dynamic that reflect those of the film dialogue. Hesitation or insecurity can be visualized by inserting an ellipsis (…) or loudness with an exclamation mark (!).
h. Subtitle duration, which appears on the screen, is limited. It is because subtitle follows the pace of the film and delivery of the dialogue. The duration of subtitle ranges from one to six seconds.
5. Taboo and Swear Word
According to Wardaugh, Taboo words can consist of sex, death, excretion, bodily function, prohibited by certain religion and also politics. (2010: 249). He adds further that,
Taboo is prohibition avoidance in any society of behavior believed to be harmful to its members in that it would cause them anxiety, embarrassment or shame. (2010: 249).
Related to swear word, there are some definitions given by the experts. According to Anderrson and Trudgill,
Swear word can be defined as a type of language use in which the expression; a) refers to something that is taboo and/or stigmatized in the culture; b) should not be interpreted literally; c) can be used to express strong emotions and attitudes (1992: 53)
Furthermore, on the page 36-37, they discuss and classify the swearing word into four types, which are;
a. Expletive swearing, which expresses personal emotions and it is not directed to other people. Example: God damn it!
b. Abusive swearing, which is usually derogatory and directed to others, like name –calling and other kinds of cursing. Example: You asshole, you bastard, etc.
d. Auxiliary Swearing, which can be used as an auxiliary, directed towards a person or a situation. Sometimes it is called lazy swearing and often or always non-emphatic. Example: This fucking…bloody.
Pinker divides swearing into five types, which are, dysphemistic swearing, abusive swearing, idiomatic swearing, empathic swearing and cathartic swearing (2007: 66-91). Dysphemistic swearing is a type of swearing that is the opposite of euphemism. Abusive swearing is a type of swearing that is used to abuse, intimidate or to insult others. Idiomatic swearing is a type of swearing that is used in swearing without referring exactly to the problems. Empathic swearing is a type of swearing that has a function to emphasize something by swearing. Cathartic swearing, that is a type of swearing used when something unexpected or unwanted condition happens. Another definition of swear word is given by Liedlich. AccordingtoLiedlich,
Swear word is the way someone uses obscene words orally to insult or to curse, or even to offend something (someone or action), and also for emphasizing, when the person has strong emotion. (1973: 100).
Furthermore, Liedlich discusses about the principal purposes of verbal obscenity as follows:
a. Creating Attention
b. Discrediting
Verbal obscenity expresses “Aprofound contempt for society‟s standards,
a revolt against authority, and irreverence for things sacred” (Liedlich, 1973: 110).
Discredit can happen when people who use swear words to express their disbelief about many things in reality which they assumed were not suitable with public opinion.
c. Provoking Violent Confrontation
One of the function of verbal obscenity is provoking violent confrontation. Even though physical acts of violence, such as throwing bricks and bottles in the window can provoke violent acts, verbal obscenity is “ The most effective
rhetorical method available to agitators for inciting a violent response” (Liedlich, 1973: 111). Some of the swear words contains this purpose when the speakers or the writers expects a certain response (violent confrontations) from the hearer or the reader.
d. Term of Endearment
At this point, the researcher concludes that, there are some purposes in using swear words in conversations, especially in South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999) movie. The purposes of using swear words such as, to express
emotions, like anger, dissatisfaction, to insult, to mock and to show surprise. C. Theoretical Framework
This research aims to analyze South Park Bigger, Longer and Uncut (1999) concerning two main problems, first is the equivalence of Indonesian translation of swear words and the second is the Indonesian translation of swear words based on their purposes in South Park Bigger, Longer and Uncut (1999) subtitles. This research studies about the swear words which are used in the movie including the types of each swear words and the purpose of using swear words.
19 CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY A. Areas of Research
The area of research is multimedia translation. The researcher collects the data by analyzing the movie subtitles, both the SL (English subtitle) and TL (Indonesian subtitle). The focus is on the Indonesian translation of taboo and swear words in South Park Bigger, Longer and Uncut (1999) the movie. This translation research is based on the taboo and swear words that spoken by the characters in the movie which are taken from the English subtitle and the Indonesian subtitle. According to William and Chestermen, “Audiovisual text is primarily spoken texts- Radio/TV programs, films, DVDs, videos opera, theater-which are translated either by re-voicing of sur-/subtitling” (2002: 13). It means, the data are collected by watching the movie in many times, paying attention on the swear words appears in the movie, and based on the analysis of the subtitle texts.
B. Object of the Study
The object of the study is the translations of the swear words used in the movie South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999) taken from the subtitles of the movie. The subtitles are English original subtitle from Paramount Picture and Warner Bros, and the Indonesian subtitle which is produced by Mabro. The data
C. Method of the Study
This research is qualitative. According to Fraenkel and Wallen, qualitative is, “a research study that investigates the quality of relationships, activities, situations, and materials” (2009: 422). It means, the data of this research was
collected from the texts and based on texts analysis, which are, the swear words and their situations found in movie subtitles. After that, the researcher took the samples as the representative of data population and used the theories by the experts to analyze the sample of swear word. The use of Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (2005) and The Great Dictionary of the Indonesian
Language 2007 (KBBI) were applied to help the researcher analyzing the data.
D. Research Procedure 1. Types of Data
The data of this research are 75 data taken from two objectives, which are, first is the English subtitle of South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999). South Park Bigger, Longer and Uncut (1999), which is an American movie produced in
1999, it is an adult cartoon and also musical comedy movie directed by Trey Parker, a series co-creator. The film tells a story about the issues of television censorships and the issue of bad parenting. The English subtitle scripts were taken from a website (www.southparkwillie.com/Spmedia?scanned/blu.pdf&ved). The English subtitle script is supplied as the source language text. The second is the

The situation is Terrance sings a mock-song to make funny on America and he is followed by his partner Phillip and they sing the song together. In the movie, Phillip and Terrance are comedian artists from Canada and their movie is being aired in the USA movie theaters. In Nida‟s theory of equivalence, the equivalence of sample above is dynamically equivalent.

CHAPTER IV
ANALYSIS RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
As mentioned before on the previous pages, this research focuses on the Indonesian translation of swear words, found in the movie South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999). To find out the answer for the first problem as applied, it
is essential to categorize Indonesian translation of swear words equivalences. Equivalence is related to the message and context of the swear words which are used by the characters in the movie, whether the swear words they use are categorized as formal equivalent or dynamic equivalent.
A. The Equivalence Translation of Swear Words in South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)
In this part, the researcher classifies the samples into two classifications of equivalence. Based on Nida‟s theory of equivalence, it is divided into two. First, formal equivalence which focuses on the how the message is delivered both in form and content. The messages in the Target Language should be matched as possible with the elements which are used in the Source Language. Second, dynamic equivalence which focuses on the equivalent effect, the message and context in Target Language should be the same within the message and context in Source Language.
1. Formal Equivalence Found in Data Samples
Sandy little butthole = Anus kecil berpasir 21/64/SP/00:55:40 Sandy little butthole 21/64/SP/00:55:40 Anus kecil berpasir Equivalence Formal
focuses on the message in both form and content or in other words formal equivalence is a word for word translation. The word butthole means anus which means dubur (Anatomy: the opening at the end of the alimentary canal through which solid waste matter leaves the body), while the word little means kecil which means tidak besar or tidak penting (small in size, amount and degree or not important) and the word sandy means berpasir which means mengandung pasir (covered in sand or containing sand).
Fat stupid bitch = Gembrot jalang bodoh
13/49/SP/00:31:10 A fat stupid bitch
13/49/SP/00:31:10 Si gembrot jalang bodoh Equivalence Formal
The words in bold in the table above are spoken by Cartman to the kids in the playground. He says angrily that the mess and the planning of war against Canada is all the fault of Kyle‟s mother because she is bad person. The translator uses TL gembrot jalang bodoh as the translation of SL fat stupid bitch. Based on Nida‟s theory of equivalence, it is translated formally, because the message words
in TL is transferred based on form and content in SL. The translator derives the message based on the content and the form of SL. The sample above is descriptive. The TL gembrot jalang bodoh has similar meaning with the SL stupid fat bitch which is to describe someone who is fat and stupid. The word gembrot
immoral). The word bodoh (TL) means tidak memiliki pengetahunan/pendidikan (someone uneducated or idiot).
2. Dynamic Equivalence Found in Samples
Dirty bastard = Bajingan kotor
20/63/SP/00:55:19 Dirty bastard 20/63/SP/00:55:19 Bajingan kotor Equivalence Dynamic
The swear words above is said by Saddam Husein while singing in hell to entertain the Satan. He tells that he can change although he confesses that he has been a bad person and dishonest when he was alive on earth. Saddam tries to make the Satan believe in him. The table above shows that the translator uses bajingan kotor (TL) as the translation of dirty bastard (SL), based on the theory
Fat fuck = Gembrot sialan 6/30/SP/00:12:16 You fat fuck!
6/30/SP/00:12:16 Kau gembrot sialan! Equivalence Dynamic
The situation is Cartman, Stanley, Kenny and Kyle is in the school canteen. Cartman and Kyle involve in a verbal fight because Cartman talks really bad about Kyle‟s mother, Kyle fights back by saying fat fuck to Cartman. In here,
the translator uses gembrot sialan (TL) as the translation of fat fuck (SL). Based on Nida‟s theory of equivalence, the SL and the TL are dynamically equivalent
for having the same message, and the message in TL is transferred equally from SL related to the same context in the movie. Dynamic equivalence focuses on the naturalness of expression to express the message in SL in the TL. The word Gembrot means gemuk (having a large amount of excess flesh), while the word
sialan means (yang) mendatangkan kesialan or sebagai kata makian (someone/something bringing misfortune or as a word used to curse). The message refers to annoying person.
Bastard! = Bajingan!
9/38/SP/00:18:23 You bastard! 9/38/SP/00:18:23 Kau bajingan! Equivalence Dynamic
friends watched in the movie theater. The word bastard (SL) is said by Cartman because Kenny is dead and killed by a horrible surger. Then, Cartman curse at the surgeons. The doctors who surge Kenny replace his heart with a potato and he only has 5 seconds to live. The translator uses the word bajingan (TL) as the translation for bastard (SL). Based on Nida‟s theory, the SL and TL are dynamically equivalent, because the message is the same and transferred equally from SL into TL related to the context and situation in the movie, though the word bastard is translated into the different Indonesian word as bajingan, but the
message is the same. In which, the word bajingan (TL) means kurang ajar (despicable person).
Asshole = Jancok
1/41/SP/00:08:05 Asshole, I‟m talking to you 1/41/SP/00:08:05 Jancok, aku bicara padamu Equivalence Dynamic
The situation is Cartman talks to another character named Stan but Stan does not pay attention, that‟s why Cartman uses a word asshole because he is ignored by Stan. The translator uses Jancok for translation of Asshole (SL). Based on Nida‟s theory, the words (Asshole and Jancok) above are dynamically
Fucking fat ass = Pantat berlemak sialan
2/23/SP/00:09:43 You fucking fat ass
2/23/SP/00:09:43 Kau pantat berlemak sialan Equivalence Dynamic
The situation in the movie is when Kyle gets angry at Cartman for he mocks at him, by calling him as a stupid Jew. Actually they are in the classroom while Mr. Garrison is teaching math in front of class. In the table above, the translator use pantat berlemak sialan (TL) as the translation of fucking fat ass (SL), they are equivalent dynamic. Based on Nida‟s theory of dynamic equivalence, they have the same message although it is translated into different words in Indonesia, but the message is the same related to the same context in the movie, the message is to call someone that is fat and annoying. In which, Pantat means bokong (butt), berlemak means gemuk (having a large amount of excess flesh) and sialan means sebagai makian or (yang) mendatangkan kesialan (a word to curse or someone/something bringing misfortune).
Bastards! = Bajingan!
24/68/SP/01:06:14 Goodbye bastards!
24/68/SP/01:06:14 Selamat tinggal bajingan! Equivalence Dynamic
tied on an electric chair and ready to be executed. The translator uses TL bajingan as the translation for the word SL bastards. Based on Nida‟s theory of dynamic equivalence, they are dynamically equivalent, because the message in SL is transferred equally in TL. The message is to call someone that has bad attitudes or despicable person, related to the context in the movie. The word bajingan means kurang ajar (despicable person).
Fuck, fuckitty, fuck = Brengsek, sialan, persetan
3/24/SP/00:09:51 Fuck, fuckitty, fuck 3/24/SP/00:09:51 Brengsek, sialan, persetan Equivalence Dynamic

Cartman use the word because he thinks that Kyle‟s mom is very annoying for him aand that‟s why he offends Kyle‟s mom in front of Kyle. The word menyebalkan! is addressed to someone that we do not like or someone else that is

The translator uses the word Tuhan as the translation of beautiful, merciful faggot because the message is the same related to the context and situation of this scene.
