bentuk, fungsi dan jenis kata sumpah serapah yang di ungkapkan oleh karakter

didalam film A very Harold and Kumar christmass. Penulis menggunakan teori

adalah dysphemistic swearing, abusive swearing, abusive swearing, idiomatic

swearing, emphatic swearing dan catharic swearing.

Ini adalah penelitian kualiatif, yang datanya diambil dari film A very Harold

christmass karena penulis ingin membuktikan bahwa kata sumpah serapah tidak

hanya digunakan ketika seseorang merasa marah atau frustasi karena sesuatu, kata

sumpah serapah dapat digunakan untuk menunjukkan berbagai macam jenis

emosi, dan penulis menemukan itu didalam film ini. Terlebih lagi, film ini sangat

unik dengan peran yang konyol oleh sepasang sahabat konyol, mereka terpisah

dan dipertemukan lagi hanya karena marijuana.

Dari temuan tersebut, penulis menganalisis tentang bentukj, fungsi jenis dan

makna kiasan dari kata sumpah serapah. Penulis bisa membuat rangkuman tentang

itu. Didalam film ini ada 92 ungkapan tentang kata sumpah serapah, dan dibagi

menjadi beberapa jenis, seperti contoh 9 jenis dysphemistic, 15 jenis abusive, 28

jenis idiomatic, 21 jenis emphatic dan 19 jenis catharic. Kata sumpah serapah

memiliki beberapa fungsi, mereka adalah perasaan marah, tidak suka, ingin tahu

dan lain-lain.
