Abstract
This study is an analysis of word formation in slang words found in the dialogue of a movie. The data in this study were taken from the script of the Furious 7 movie. This study aims to determine the types of word formation and the function of slang words found in the Furious 7 movie. The theory used in this research is Yule (2010) about the types of word formation and Allan & Burridge's (2006) about the function of slang. This research is descriptive research with a qualitative approach to solving research problems. The researcher found 37 slang words used by the characters involved. This study reveals that there are seven types of word formation in slang formation, namely borrowing, compounding, blending, clipping, acronym, derivation, and multiple processes. In addition, six different functions were found in the use of slang words, namely, to address, to initiate relaxed conversation, to express impressions, to show intimacy, to reveal anger, and to humiliate.
