SLANG EXPRESSION IN LITTLE MAN MOVIE BASED ON SOCIAL DIMENSION

This research aims to reveal the slang expression (slang words) uttered by some characters in Little Man movie. To analyze them, the writers use Holmes’ references about social scale which is classified into four scales. By using qualitative descriptive method, the writers found 18 slang words then analyzed them into social distance scale, status scale, formality scale, or functional scale. After classifying these scales, it can be concluded that social distance scale is the mostly used in the movie. It can be assumed that social distance scale has told about the relationship between characters.


INTRODUCTION
Almost all people in the entire world use English as their daily language to communicate with each other.That is the fact for hither yet cannot be denied and unavoided.A surely thing has been occurred that companies and large businesses will need to employ people who can speak more languages.That is where English comes in.It is now considered as an international language which almost people uses English.
There are many ways to learn English.One of the most favorite ways to learn English is watching movie.Movie or film is a sequence of photographs which is projected onto a screen with sufficient rapidity as to create the illusion of motion and continuity.Film maker do not create movies out of the blue, but they also there must have put intentions behind it.There areseveral themes contains within a movie; such as: humors, social, politic, love, education, and et cetera.Movie also is a modern literary work that has story fomation, dialogues, and also scenes which is performed by actor and actress to deliver these theme with purpose to entertain people.
Movie also is like a result of human culture which is its existence has got its own place in the development of human civilization and history.Movie has two pointful purposes; providing an entertainment and also education.Through watching movie people absolutely will get entertainment as well as knowledge from the messages and values which is contained within the film.The people will be more open-minded and grow their imagination and expression about the life, love life, social, economic, politic, and etcetera.Through movies the film makes triy to deliver certain messages.Therefore, for the viewers should watch it deeply first to guess what the exact or essential message which is contained in it.
Movie can be assumed as the commemoration of someone's memories.It is like the writer is going to record his or her particular experience.There is also an intention of it.That is why the writer wants to raise the story and want to publish the story through the movie itself; in the hope that there is benefit that can be taken from it.
But sometimes, the viewers do not really understand a certain scene when they are watching a movie because of the language that is being used by the actor or actress of the movie.Despite of several times of repetitive or viewing watching the movie andagain, the result is will not as smooth as the viewers expect.Of the entire movie, there are a few scenes that probably make the viewers feel so confused, trying to understand what language is being used in the movie.
Thus, it can be known that every region has a different dialect.Dialect means a form of a language which seems peculiar or unusual for a specific region or social group.For instance, there are two people who come from different background are making a conversation.Both of them understand each other but only a few viewersunderstand their language.
In this case, mankind certainly cannot be separated from language use in their life.People need language to communicate with others.Language here is like a tool that connects one people to another.In communication process, language is needed to express the speaker's mind and feeling, so the listener can understand what the speaker means.
Within a group, for particular societies for instance, they may use variant of the language.They interact or communicate with each other by using a new word, but the fact here, they really accepted of that language which is being used and they speak as usual.For the same listeners, although they have the same tribe as the notabene, they might think that they will not quite understand of their new conversation.
Thus, the previous paragraphs discuss what slang is from the perspective of social dimension.Concerning a slang language, it is really correlated with the existence of linguistics.Then, linguistics is the study of human language.At first, linguistics was developed as a subject in the eighteenth century.Before then, language in the western world had been the interest largely of the philosophers.Futhermore, in the eighteenth century a number of scholars became interested in the relationship between European language and those of the Orient.Today linguistics is a science that concerns itself with all aspects relating to language, examining it from all of the theoretical viewpoints.
Slang is one of the informal language varieties that emerge due to social factors that affect a group of people when they communicate.Slang appeared due to social background.Slang can be grouped as social dialect or sociolect in the branch of sociolinguistics.This Informal language variety typically used by lower middle-class people when they are communicating with their group.Since slang is a more specific and unusual than informal language, that caused not every member of society, even from the lower classes are able to abundantly know the meaning.
Based on the aforementioned statements, the writers would like to analyze the use of slang language and the comparison with the meaning base on English standard.Here, the writers are going to analyze it through a movie which entitled Little Man.Within this movie, both the male or the female characters use slang language many times.
Little Man is a 2006 American comedy film written, produced and directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, and also written and produced by Wayans Brothers Marlon and Shawn Wayans, who also both starred in the lead roles.The film co-stars Kerry Washington, John Witherspoon, Tracy Morgan and Lochlyn Munro.The film was theatrically released in the United States on July 14, 2006 to commercial success but largely receive negative reviews, including three Golden Raspberry Awards.
The writers focus on two things related to slang language in the dialogues inLittle Man movie.First, the writers are going to list the slang expressions from the characters which are found inLittle Man movie.Second, the writersare going to find out what the meaning of the slang expressions are in Little Man.The writers useThe NTC's Dictionary of American Slang and Colloquial Expression, Dictionary of American Slang and www.yourdictionary.com to look for the meaning as a reference.Afterwards, the writers analyze the context in which the slang expression is appeared in this movie.

THEORETICAL REVIEW 2.1. Sociolinguistics
Language as a tool of communication has changed rapidly in society.A new word or term arises in few days or weeks.It is because language has a strong relation with social interaction which is a combination among a lot of factors such as a fast growing of communication technology, social media, and other factors.This dynamic changing oflanguage that used in society called sociolinguistic.Discussion about this reference is the same with talking about what happened in society.In this chapter we will discuss deeper about sociolinguistics.
Van Herk (2012) defines sociolinguistics is: "the scientific study of the relationship(s) between language and society" So, sociolinguistic has many connectivity between language and the people in particular groups.This means, a scientifically research that has a relationship between two matters here, there are the existence of language and the people.Both are really connected to each other.
In addition, Deckert & Vickers (2011) state that "Sociolinguistics is a field that looks at how people use language in their everyday lives across a variety of life events and language experiences."Sociolinguistic is like a place where the people who use the language in their language experiences and it is the variety life events.
Based on the definitions above, sociolinguistics is like a large field who keep focus on two things, they are: language and society.Both of them are related each other also.On the other hand, Sociolinguistics aims at how people use language differently by their region and how individual speaker use language.

Slang as Social Dialect
Generally, slang is a subset of a language used by one particular group.It consists of words and expressions which will not be found in the dictionary, and can be distortions of existing words or entirely invented terms.It is used in informal situations.

It is not appropriate in formal situations
Slang is an informal use of word in a language or in a specific group of people.This language is not considered as the speaker's language or dialect; however this kind of language is accepted in a certain social setting.Slang expression may act as a euphemism -a mild or less direct word substituted for one that is harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing-and may be used as a means of identifying with one peers.
Slang is the expression related or unrelated word or phrase is substituted for a more common one.The words that are replaced in slang are the most common ones: good (cherry, boss, phat, da bomb), bad (icky, yucky, jankety), crazy (nuts, bananas, crackers, bonkers), smart (brainy, savvy, sharp), fast (scream, tear out, fly, like greased lightning), slow (dragging, poky, crawling, creeping).
Here, certain people try to create slang language to communicate in their daily activity with one another.After they create it, they hope another group or people will not understand what they are talking about.
Slang is used by all kinds of groups of people who share situations or interests.The group which uses these words is always in the minority, and often uses slang to set themselves apart or make it difficult for ordinary people to understand them.When a particular new expression is known and used by a large majority of the population, it is no longer slang, but part of the regular language or usage.
When the conditions have changed, the term may have changed also in meaning, be adopted into the standard language, or continue to be used as slang within certain group of the population.It happened because their slang is known by another group and become popular for society.Thus, they cannot hide what they are talking or discussing about and they should change the slang in their group.
Slang is found in words not in grammar.When the people talk about slang, they intend to have a meaning, so the meaning means word, not a grammar or even pronunciation.This is more or less the correct view.Every language contains both a vocabulary and grammar.English is a language, but slang is not.
Relating to slang, slang is used for many purposes; but generally it expresses a certain emotional attitude; the same term may express absolutely opposed attitudes when used by different people.Many slang terms are primarily insulting, though they may also be ambivalent when used in intimacy or friendliness.
Slang also is not a swearing, because swearing is always connected with taboos of some kind, while slang terms are not limited in such way.Otherwise, it insults or shocks when it is used directly; some terms euphemize a sensitive concept, though clear or extreme euphemism may break the taboo more effectively than a less well-behaved term.Concerning slang, the writer has many explanations about slang from the experts.
Denham & Lobeck (2014) state: "Slang words or phrases are typically very informal, and they are usually restricted to a particular group-typically teens and young adults-as a marker of in-group status."Slang can be categorized as an informal language; it cannot be spoken freely.It tends to only several targets, such as teen-ager and young adults.Stolt (2010) states: "…slang has significant role: it is the tag that marks the belonging to a group and can serve to contracts friendship and to cement and maintain them."Hence, slang can be said as connector to be more friendship or to be accustomed to.
Overall, it can be concluded that slang is unconventional words or phrases that express either something new or something old in a new way.It is may be indecent or obscene.Slangemerges because of the needs of a group of people or community to express their solidarity among them by differentiate themselves in the way their talking.They create or modify the vocabulary of a language and use it as an identifying mark of their group or community and the use of slang itself need a deeper understanding about the relationship between the speaker and the recipient.
Concerning a slang language as a social dialect, generally therearemany factors that cause differences in the speaking style of a person at the time when communicating with each other.For the factor as the differences, such as: occupation, position, or duty of the speakers led to the emergence of the language variety.The language used by the labors, merchants, truck drivers, teachers, priests, or employer must be different.That because of the influence is based on their social environment and of what they do.Their language variety is mainly seen in areas of the vocabulary they use.
The existence of slang is related to a dialect.Dialect isa variety of a language that signals where a person comes from.The notion is usually interpreted geographically (regional dialect), but it also has some application in relation to a person's social background (class dialect) or occupation (occupational dialect).
Social dialect is a language variety which is dealing with several things, for instances: status, class and social class, age, education, sex, occupation, socioeconomic circumstances, etc. of the speakers.In sociolinguistics usually this kind of variety is the most widely discussed because of its relation to the personal issues of speakers.
Those statement is supported by (Wardaugh, 2006): "Social dialects originate among social groups and are related to a variety of factors, the principal ones apparently being social class, religion, and ethnicity."Social dialect affects many factors, for instance: social class, religion, and ethnicity.
According to Siegel (2010) "Social dialect is a variety of a language spoken by a particular group based on social characteristic other than geography."In this universe, social dialect also includes to a variation of a spoken language which can be seen of the side of social characteristic.
From the whole describing above, it can be summarized that social dialect is a dialect that is concerning with the social status and class.The term social class that is related to the social dialect refers to the difference between people which are associated with differences in social prestige, wealth and education.People from different social do not speak in the same way.For example, teachers do not talk like farmers, laywer do not talk in the same way as the criminals they defend in court.

Classification of Social Dimension
Social dimension has function as indicator of the difference in social status between the speakers, also it can be an indicator of a situation in which language is used.In other words, social dimension is the reflection of purpose, topic, manner and mood of language used.Since this research also investigates the social function, it cannot be separated from the social dimension of communication.For instance, when a member in a particular community intends to express his or her feeling of anger toward the other member, he or she will consider the social dimension before uttering the feeling.Holmes, Bell, & Boyce (1991) state that there are four related social scales which then treats separately, those are: 1) a social distance scale, 2) a status scale, 3) a formality scale 4) functional scales.

The Social Distance Scale
Social distance may therefore be defined as a condition produced by a social relationship in conjunction with other social relationships.In other words, any specific social distance is a resultant of at least two relationships of differing tendencies, and inasmuch as a social relationship is after all only a relatively stable state of association or dissociation among human beings brought about and maintained by one or more social processes.It is impossible to define the latter in terms of distance: any social process is a sequence of occurrences through which the distance prevailing between human beingswill be either increased or decreased.The importance of distance as a sociological category thereby becomes apparent; it is the relatively stable equilibrium (of motions of approach and avoidance) produced by the dynamic interplay of social processes, and although the present system lays primary emphasis on social dynamics, it is a category of rank co-ordinate with social process.
Social distance scale is social dimensions taking account that will be a pattern of linguistic interaction.Social distance scale becomes an indicator of how well someone to know the other that will become a relevant factor in linguistic choices.Furthermore, in-group language is the language of solidarity.
The function of in-group language becomes a variety that used to signal the shared identity of certain participants.Generally, it is used to show group difference, existence, or solidarity between the group members.The norms of language in a speech community are usually covered by-in group people.In-group language also conceals the use of certain language as the choices in the relation to social factor and social dimension of communication.
Social distance scale has an important function in emphasizing the intimacy of a relationship.How well and how close do people know someone, is a relevant factor in linguistic choice.The preference to call another's first name instead of their last name reflects their level of relationship towards intimate; therefore, it can be gathered that the level of solidarity is high.As oppose to the earlier example, a preference to call a stranger with just a Mr./Mrs./Ms.without an actual name attached to it, reflects just how distant their relationship is, resulting a very low solidarity level.
Here, the social distance between the persuader and persuadee (the one who is persuaded) should have an impact on their low degree of solidarity.However, the persuader knows what type of people he or she tries to persuade because he or she is aware of what type of social group is aimed at.

The Social Status Scale
Social class or status is one of the most important variables in social research.The socioeconomic position of a person affects his or her opportunities for several things, such as: educations, incomes, occupations, marriages, health, and friends, and it even can affect life expectancy.The variable has proved difficult to measure in a pluralistic, egalitarian, and fluid society.Many researchers nevertheless have tried to identify the social strata and to measure variables associated with them.Occupation has been shown to be the best single predictor of social status, and overall occupational prestige ratings have been found to be highly stable.A number of factors act in tandem in the relationship between occupation and social status.Both individual income and educational attainment are known to be correlated with occupational ranks.Education is a basis for entry into many occupations, and for most persons, income is derived from occupation.
Thus, the way people speak is influenced by linguistics variety account of dimension of social status.A member of community usually considered the person who will be addressed as a superior, a subordinate, or an equal when the member chooses a word to create various varieties.Therefore, the social scale status becomes consideration in some linguistics choices.
The process of persuasion can be initiated by a superior participant but also by a subordinate one.The persuader's social status determines the persuasive strategies he or she applies in the interaction.For instances: when a student persuades the teacher about his or her knowledge during the examination, their verbal contributions will reflect the examinee's lower and the examiner's higher social status.
The status scale refers to status classification of the people involved in a conversation as an influence factor in linguistic preference.There are some considerations applied when a person is talking with someone from a higher level of class/occupation.It is applied when a secretary or a housekeeper greets their employer, for example they will greet him or her by "Good morning, Mr /Mrs.Budi" instead of "Good morning, John or Jane".

The Formality Scale
The formality scale is a useful tool to assess a social setting or a type of interaction in influencing a language choice.The use of language will be influenced by the formality of the setting.In a friendly chat held in cafes, people prefer to use a colloquial language.On the other hand, people tend to use formal language in a ritual service in church, or in a business transaction with a company manager.The degrees of formality are often determined by solidarity and status relationship, but not always.Despite personal relationship between speakers, a formal language will always be preferred in a very formal setting such as a law court.
Formality scale is a dimension influencing the variation of speech in different or context.The speakers will consider context and setting when they choosing a certain variety of linguistics choices.Here, there are many examples about formality scale is.They are: at law court and in the classroom.
This kind of scale is useful in assessing the influence of the social setting or type of interaction on languagechoice.A formal setting, such as a law court, will influence language choice regardless of thepersonal relationships between the speakers.
The formality scale also has essential part for speaker consideration on language choice based on social setting or type of interaction.For example when the students engage conversation with the lecturer in the classroom about sociolinguistics, the language used will be influenced by the formality of the setting.

The Functional Scale
Language form cannot be separated from the function of an interaction.The function scale dimension is formulated by referential and affective social meaning.The two factors formulating function scale dimension are particularly persuasive and basic.In addition, language can convey both objective information of a referential kinds and someone's feeling.
The sociolinguists aim at justifying the extent to which the function of a language or variety considerably shapes its use as any language or variety can convey objective information of a referential kind.
In general, the more referentially oriented an interaction is, the less it tends to express the feelings of the speaker.For instances, Radio broadcast of the weather forecast tend to put the emphasis on information or he referential function.By contrast, interactions which are more concerned with expressing feelings often have little in the way of new information to communicate.Talking between neighborsabout the weather, for instance, is more likely to be mainly affective in function, and intended to convey goodwill towards the neighbor rather than new information.
As the another example, the function scale that simultaneously operates referential function and conveys the speaker feels can be traced in television program such as the very familiar talk show, Oprah Winfrey Show.For instance, this TV program may provide a great deal of new referential information, while also clearly convey how the speaker feels about a certain topic.
From the several elaborations above, there are four steps of social dimension, they are: social distance scale, social status scale, formality scale and the last part is function scale.Each of depends on who the people are talking to,language choices convey information about the social relationships between people as well as about the topic of discussion and the last linguistic variation occurs at other levels of linguistic analysis: sounds, word-structure, grammar as well as vocabulary.
In the society, people may say the same thing in different way.It can be caused by context in which it is used.The choice of word in a conversation reflects factors such as the relationship between people in the particular situation and how the speaker feels about the person addressed.The difference way when a person says the same thing include linguistic variation such as: sounds, word structure, grammar, as well as vocabulary.The difference ways when we say thing is influenced by some social factors and dimensions.They are: a social distance scale concerned with participant relationships, a status scale concerned with participant relationships,a formality scale relating to the setting or type of interaction, two functional scales relating to the purposes or topic of interaction.

METHOD
In arranging this article, the researchers used library research only.The writers look for the needed theories from many sources to build the theoretical framework.To collect the data for the analysis the writers watch the Little Man movie, describe the social setting, make a list of slang expressions used by the characters and analyze the meaning by using a reference dictionary and the last is taking into account the situational context.

FINDING AND DISCUSSION
After watching the movie, the writers found some slang words/phrases discussed below.By finding the slang words, the writers then analyzed and classified it into social dimension.
The setting of the scene is at the jail.In this situation the officers tells Calvin that he will be free.When the officers accompany him to the lobby of the jail, there is one of the prisoners who does not like if Calvin get the freedom and they said a joke "he'll be back" and "what's up baby".The prisoner talks to the officer by using baby.From the general meaning of baby, it means "a very young child".
In this context, based on American Slang Dictionary, baby means cherished man.Thus, it is known that police officer has higher status that should be respected for.This case, based on the Social dimension aspect, the slang phrase belongs to "Social Status Scale".Occupation which has a role here are different status between prisoners and officers.
In this scene Calvin already got his freedom.He feels happy and so excited.When he goes out to the exit gate he feels disappoint that Percy does not come in time and he mention kind of expression "Where the hell is this guy?" The expression above shows the disappointment meant to the people.Based on Standart English Dictionary, the meaning of hellis The place where some people are believed to go after death to be punished for ever for the bad things they have done during their lives.On the other hand, according to Kipfer & Chapman (2007) in their dictionary, the word ofhell means for no definite or useful person, for fun.It only adds the variety of spoken language communication between Calvin and Percy (waiting for little man's friend).From this segment, the communication happens later between little man and his partner.They are so close; best friend.From the social dimension it belongs to "Social Distance Scale".Both have high solidarity each other.

Slang expression that Calvin said is " I had to ditch it".The writers can analyze there is word which contain slang word.Ditch based on Cambride Dictionary has general meaning "a long, narrow, open channel dug in the ground, usually at the side of a road or field".But based on slang dictionary in www.yourdictionary.com,ditch is "to get rid of".

The sentence aboves is impolite expression to be mentioned.Because Pops mention it to someone.There is slang word can be analyzed it is bum has general meaning " a person who gets money by asking other people for it".That definition is taken from Cambridge English Dictionary.Based on www.yourdictionary.combumhasslang meaning is "To upset, distress, annoy, depress, bore to someone".
The character here that Pops mention an expression to Darryl shows that Pops does not Darryl very much.This scene shows conversational context between Pops (father in law) and Darryl (son in law) in "The Formality Scale" in informal situation.
At this scene, Vanessa and Darryl brought Calvin (Little man) to see the doctor.They just make sure that Little man is in a good body, good temperature and healthy.While they are checking Little man's body to the doctor they are wondering what kind of this Little man looks like.Because this Little man looks like horrible such as has scar at his body, and kind of tattoos like a man.This situation occurs between Darryl and Vanessa where there is part of conversation which containing slang word.From the explanation, there is no meaning related to the slang word crackhead.But, from the explanation of American Slang and Colloquial Dictioanry, crackheadcan be categorized as slang word which means "a user of crack (drugs)".

The writers have analyzed the meaning of slang within the movie and hope that this analysis can be useful for the readers to apply some slang words in their conversation.
