CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of Study
Slang is non-formal or casual
spoken English which create and
used
by people in a certain community. Slang words usually called slangism. It is a sprinkle of color in a language, since slang is
unusual and unique. It also
classified into language variation. As the general rule, it did not use
in the
formal spoken language or writing because
it is
humorous, ribald, or
shocking.
Most of slang is the product of the youth. They use this kind of language in informal
situation
or place like
home, school, university,
market, and so on. Sometimes, they
create new word from their own language and it can be understood only
in their community. This kind of
language variety
is designed to make speech more casual and playful.
However, it may not always
be
suitable for formal speech.
Believe it or not, slang is used in our daily
life. Teenagers give the great contribution of the forming of slang words. They
form a new word which only
understood by their community. It can be a characteristic of a
certain group or community. They
feel bore to use the common language. They
need something
new and friendlier in speaking with other. Slang is the
answer of what they need to communicate freely. They create new word; they use it often and it being their daily language. It makes a great number
of slangism
used by teenager because it can make their communication to be
more effective. For example; the word cool and hot can both mean very good, impressive, or good-looking. Another
example is the
words wanna means want to and so on.
Slang varies widely
to use across social, ethnic, economic and
geographical regions. It can be used only in a particular territory; however it
used generally in a certain subculture, such as
music or video gaming.
Nevertheless, slang expression can be spread out outside the original areas to be commonly
used. For example, in the social network like facebook,
twitter, or messaging.
There are some words in these
internet subcultures, such as LOL, an acronym meaning (Laugh Out Loud). The other example is
ROFL, (Rolling on the Floor Laughing), which is widely used in instant
messaging on the internet.
In this modern era, we can found
the using of slang anywhere. It can be found in magazine, radio, newspaper,
social network, advertising, and
movies
and so on.
Talking about movie, it is the source of entertainment which popular for students, college
or teenager. It includes one
of the factors of the
spreading of slangism world wide. Teenager
tends
to imitate their
favorite actor or actress on the movies. They
imitate the style and the way
the actor spoke. Most of
the teenager imitate the slang words or phrase
which spoken
by their favorite
actor. Sometimes, they often imitate the words of slang from the movie without knowing
the meaning of the words, how it can be
formed and it becomes their daily language. They think that this kind of
words is very cool. However, it is very hard to found the meaning of slang
in the word or speech in the
dialog or statement because
the words are unfamiliar. So that why, it needs to be learn more deeply for the writer as the students because it may be difficult and hard to understand the movie if
we cannot find the meaning

slang
and analysis the
sociolinguistics background in
every slang word to understand it more deeply. So that way, we can get the
entertainment and knowledge through the movie.

based on the reasons of the meaning of the kinds
of slang term used in

Sociolinguistics
aspects
of slang expression found in the movie. The example

Theron. The story is talk about Hancock (Will Smith) is a superhero whose poor grooming, drunk
and disorderly behavior, and
destructive rescue
attempts, are doing
nothing to make him popular in the press. Then public relations expert Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman) steps in to try
