Abstract

The Ngapak Tegalan language is deemed as a unique language in Indonesia. The Ngapak Tegalan language has special prosody, dialect (gruff) and various vocabularies (from the mild, moderate, and rude to the offensive). By the gruff prosody and dialect identically, the used dictions become as if swearing speech and cause the view that Tegal people like swearing. Reflecting on the movies produced by the Tegal city government, entitled Dalim D’Tegal Maritim (2013), NIK (2014), Meniti Senja (2015) and Senyum Niki (2016), the actors often used swearing speech in their dialogues. Those movies told about social lives and the facts in Tegal, such as the maritime which forms the identity of Tegal, the socialization of electronic ID card creating, the socialization of a health service post for the elderly and the socialization of a complaint service center for household problems. The collected data were the conversations in those movies using AntConc (Corpus analysis based application). There were some categories of swear words based on some situations such as expressing annoyance, insulting, ridiculing, asking to go away, asking confirmation and so forth. One of them was “Sikah! Badeg, anak kurang ajar! Merad!” included to the swearing speech of expressing the annoyance. From this analysis, it can extend our knowledge about the one of indigenous people language varieties and the classification of function and at what state the swearing speech is expressed.
