8 ABSTRAK Pada jaman sekarang ini, sering kita jumpai orang-orang menggunakan kata-kata umpatan dalam percakapan mereka kepada teman-teman mereka dalam situasi tidak formal. Kadang-kadang mereka menggunakan kata-kata umpatan ini tidak hanya untuk menyerang seseorang atau meluapkan emosi kepada orang lain yang dapat menimbulkan kekacauan. Penggunaan kata-kata ungkapan sekarang ini berbeda dengan zaman dahulu, pada zaman dahulu, kebanyakan orang menggunakan ini hanya untuk menyerang seseorang. Sebagai mahasiswa Universitas Katolik Soegijapranata, penulis ingin meneliti fenomena penggunaan kata-kata umpatan yang terjadi di kalangan mahasiswa pria Universitas Katolik Soegijapranata terutama yang sering terjadi di rumah kos. Penelitian ini melibatkan lima mahasiswa pria Universitas Katolik Soegijapranata dari berbagai fakultas, yang tinggal dalam satu kos. Penulis merekam pembicaraan mereka, menulis kembali percakapan mereka dan memberikan interview kepada mereka untuk mengetahui tujuan apa mereka menggunakan kata-kata ungkapan, kemudian penulis menganalisa dan mengkategorikan kata-kata umpatan untuk mengetahui kata-kata umpatan apa yang sering digunakan. viii

9 Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sekarang ini kata-kata umpatan sering digunakan karena kebiasaan mereka dalam percakapan sehari-hari, bukan untuk menyerang seseorang yang dapat menimbulkan kekacauan atau perselisihan. Mereka menggunakan kata-kata umpatan juga untuk memperdekat hubungan mereka, sehingga bagi mereka kata-kata umpatan itu kebiasaan yang lazim digunakan dalam percakapan sehari-hari. Selain itu juga penulis menemukan bahwa kata-kata ungkapan bisa dipakai oleh siapapun tidak memandang latar belakang dan status sosial dari pengguna. ix
