Skripsi thesis, Universitas Negeri Padang.
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the frequency of slang words in the film Ant-Man
and The Wasp, as well as the word formation processes of slang words. This study
was descriptive qualitative. This study employed George Yule's theory of word
formation processes (2010) and Spolsky (1998). The results showed that were seven
types of word formation in the slang words of the Ant-man and The Wasp script:
blending, borrowing, clipping, multiple-process, compounding, conversion, and
coinage. The data was collected from slang words found in the script of the movie.
This study indicated that clipping was the most frequent form of word formation,
representing for 29.60% of all occurrences. It was followed by coinage and
blending, each representing for 22.53% of the total. It was then followed by
compounding and borrowing at the same rate of 8.45%, as well as conversion at the
rate of 7.04%. With a mere 1.40 percent as a result, multiple-process is the least
frequent.
