Abstract

In general, humans interact to foster cooperation between each other to form, develop and pass on their culture in the broadest sense. In everyday life, of course, we don't just use formal language. When you are angry, the language used tends to be stiff and also has connotations. This research was conducted because swear words are not only used when angry, but swear words are also used in intimate and relaxed situations. Swear words also have the aim of insulting, belittling, expressing disappointment, admiration/surprise and praise. This research refers to a qualitative approach and uses two methods, namely the proficient free-involved listening method and the note-taking method. In this research, it is a method carried out by listening which is paralleled with observation, showing and studying carefully the object under study, the researcher records swearing in busy situations, the swearing data is then recorded in a data folio for analysis.
