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).

Badeg, anak kurang ajar! Merad!” included to the swearing speech of expressing the annoyance.
