CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Research

In this modern era, there are a lot of variations of language used in

the community. According to Ferdinand de Saussure, language is a

distinguishing feature that is very prominent; language makes each social

group feel as an entity distinct from another group. A member of a society

of a language usually consists of a variety of people with different social

status and cultural background that are not the same (Yuwono, 5). Since

there are many backgrounds and different environments for every human

being, languages as a tool of communication is varied. Language variety

are variations of the language used in situations, circumstances, or for

specific needs. Language variety that is used in formal situation is called

standard language, while language variety that is used in informal situation

is called non-standard (Chaer, 56).

According to Wardaugh (34-35), standard English is a variety of

English which is usually used in print, and normally taught in schools and

to non-native speakers learning the language. This dialect became the one

preferred by the educated, and it was developed and promoted as a model,

or norm, for wider and wider segments of society. This variety is also used

in spreading information or in any situations that nearly the same.

Meanwhile the nonstandard English, according to Crystal (286), is a form

of language that does not fulfill any standard norms, which is classified

1
2

into sub-standard or non standard. The non standard English usually used

in environment which is not in contact with the formality, such as songs,

books, movies, etc. One example of nonstandard English language is

slang.

Slang is one of the higher variation of the language used in the

community. A. Chaer and L. Agustina (67) define slang as social variation

that is privileged and confidential. The use of slang usually formed in

abbreviating or removal of one or more letters in a word, or even a change

in sound and meaning. A word has an important role in the language. A

person who does not studying about linguistics may say that the word is

the smallest component in the language, but in fact the word itself has

several processes to become a word. The process is called the word

formation process. Word formation is one of the discussions in

morphology discussing about how word can be formed in a language in

this world.

Slang language is very often used in Hollywood movies. Movie is

an actualization of the development of community life at the time. At the

present time, it is certain that most people, whether young or old would

certainly watch a movie. Movie has recorded a number of cultural

elements that lie behind them, including the use of language that appears

in the dialogue between the characters in the movie. The use of slang in

the movie occurs due to many things, such as simplifying the

characterization in the movie so that the movie does not seem monotonous
3

that causes the audience are become bored and usually slang that used in

the movie will be viral in the actual life. But sometimes, there are some

people or the audience that could not understand the meaning of slang

language or does not understand how the slang words are formed in that

movie.

Therefore this research will discuss about how slang words are

formed, so people that watching or not can be informed how slang words

are actually formed, furthermore can understand the meaning. This

research will analyze the types of slang used in the movie and also

identifies how these words can be formed.

B. Focus of the Research

This research will focus on how is the process of word formation

of the slang words used by characters in the Deadpool movie produced by

Marvel Entertainment in 2016. The process of word formation that will be

analyzed such as derivation, compounding, borrowing, coinage, blending,

clipping, back formation, abbreviation and multiple processes.

C. Research Question

Based on the focus of study above, the research questions are:

1. What are the types of word formation that occur in the slang words

that used in the Deadpool movie?

2. How are the word formation processes of slang words found in the

Deadpool movie according to structural morphology theory?

D. Significances of the Research

Theoretically, this research hopefully can be useful for people who

learn about language, especially English Department students, to increase

the understanding the process of slang words were formed. Practically, the

writer hopes this research can be useful for people who do not learn about

linguistics to understand slang language and to reproduce new words of

daily conversation, especially in informal situation.

E. Research Methodology

1. Objective of the Research

Based on the research questions above, this research is

aimed to classify types of word formation and to explain the

process of how word formation on slang words occurs in the

Deadpool movie.
5

2. The Method of Research

This research uses qualitative method which is relying on

verbal data and non-numeric as fundamental analysis and problem

solving for this research (Farkhan, 2). According to Bodgan and

Taylor (in Moleong, 4) qualitative research is research procedure

that produces descriptive data not only in the form of written or

spoken by people but also attitudes being observed. This research

was conducted using qualitative approach because the result of the

data that is analyzed is in descriptive phenomena such as words,

phrases and utterances.

3. The Technique of Data Collecting and Data Analysis

The process of the collecting data in this research is using

bibliographical technique (tenik pustaka). According to Subroto

(4), in bibliograpical technique, the data is collected from written

sources. The written sources used are selected that reflect the use

of synchronus language. This technique also knows as

documentation technique. Documentation is a technique of data

collecting with gather all the information from written form,

pictures or remarkable creation of someone (Sukardi, 81). The data

will be gained by data card which focuses to slang words in the

Deadpool movie script. The process of collecting the data is

divided into several steps;

1. Watching the Deadpool movie.


6

2. Reading the Deadpool movie script.

3. Searching the data in the Deadpool movie script.

4. Mark the slang words that occur in the Deadpool

movie script and then write down on the data card.

After the data has been collected, the data will be analyzed

using Structural Morphology for the word formation process, and

will classify the types of word formation on each term.

4. The Instrument of the Research

This research is using data card as the instrument to identify

the data from the Deaadpool movie script which has been written

by several relevant data in certain format and the main problem

that becomes the research’s object has been written as well and

becoming an entry (Subroto, 43). Then, the data which focuses on

slang words will be analyzed with structural Morphology and word

formation concept.

5. The Unit Analysis

The unit analysis of this research is the Deadpool movie

script which was retrieved from genius.com. Movie scripts have

been selected as the data source because there are many slang

language which is interesting to study.


CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

A. Previous Research

This research is not the only one which analyzes word formation

phenomena. Many previous researchers have analyzed the formation of

words, such as:

First is Rena Meisara (2014) with her research entitled Word

Formation on Medical Terms in New York TIME Magazine’s Articles. In

this research, the analysis of word formation process focused on medical

terms. The results 39 data derived from different articles from nine months

edition in New York TIME magazine found four types of word formation

processes from medical terms which were derivation, compound,

abbreviation and acronym.

The second research is from Bahrul Hanif (2015) The Analysis of

Word Formation of Soccer Terms in the Jakarta Post’s Articles. Hanif

used qualitative method and the data were obtained from soccer terms.

This research used random sample in analyzing the data. From ten types

word formation processes, it can be found seven kinds of word formations

from the data, which were compounding, derivation, blending,

reduplication, acronym & initialism, back formation and clipping.

The third research is from an EFL Journal written by Dwi Astuti

Wahyu Nurhayati (2016) with the title Word Formation Processes and a

Technique in Understanding Waria Slang Tulungagung using Yule’s

7
8

theory (1995). This research used qualitative method by observing and

interviewing the random respondent ranging from 20 to 47 years old. The

data were taken when the Warias performed as Sinden in wedding parties

and also when the Warias were selling Pecel rice. During the observation,

the writer recorded and took notes all the slang words. This study found

eleven word formation processes from the data which were derivation,

multiple process, acronym, synonym, borrowing, blending, reduplication,

coinage, echoism, irregular form, changing vowel syllabic.

From the three studies above, it can be said that this research is

different, because the data two of the three researches above are taken

from written discourse and other is from direct utterance, while the data in

this research is from utterances in the movie. From three researches above,

the objects are different from one to another, one from medical terms,

soccer terms and last from Waria Slang the slang that only happen in

Indonesia, while this research prefers to use English Slang to be analyze.

B. Concept

1. Language

According to Kridalaksana on Chaer (32), language is a

symbol system of sounds that is arbitrarily used by members of a

social group to cooperate, communicate, and identify themselves,

while the definition of language according to Wittgenstein is a way

of thinking that can be understood, related to reality, and has a


9

logical structure and shape. Language has important role in our

lives. Language is the sole possession of the human that can never

be escaped from all the activities and the movement of people

along the human existence, as a cultured and social creature

(Chaer, 53). Every language is used by a group of people who

belong to a language community. Members of a language

community usually consist of a variety of people with different

social status and different cultural background. Members of a

language community usually are composed with some people who

are not educated; live in the city, live in the village; the adults and

also children.

In connection with the language variation concerning the

level of class, status and social class of the speakers, language

variations can be divided into akrolek (variation of language that is

considered more prestigious, higher than other variations of the

language, for example: the language used by the royal family of

Java), basilek (variation of language which considered as a lower

language than other variation of the language, i.e the language of

the cowboy in the UK), vulgar (language variation that is used by

less educated or the uneducated), colloquial (language variation

that is used for everyday conversation), jargon (variation of the

language used on a limited basis in a particular social group, but it

is not a secret, for example: in terms of the workshop in Indonesia


10

we often hear the words dices, dilas, didongkrak, dibalans), argot

(language variation that is limited to use by certain professions and

confidential), and slang (variation of the language used by certain

circles and should not be known by outsiders)(Chaer and Agustina,

67).

From those definitions of language above, it can be

concluded that language is system of sound that can be understood,

has a logical structure and forms used by members of a social

group to communicate and identify themselves. Due to the fact that

there are many social groups in this world, therefore, there are

many language variations, and slang is one of those variations of

languages.

2. Slang

In the background of the research, the writer already

explained a little about slang. For several years, slang was only

used by black people for their own consumption, or only to be

understood by them, but now slang is no longer used by black

people only. According to Oxford English dictionary, slang is

defined as special form of a word that is usually used by people

who have a low character.

According to Pei and Gaynor (in Alwasilah, 48), slang is a

form of language in general use, that made from popular adaptation


11

and reviewing of the existing words by constructing new words

regardless the standards of scholastic and linguistic rules in the

formation of words that is generally limited to social groups or

specific groups. For the example, Indonesians usually prefer using

the word bentar instead of sebentar. Because of the character of

slang which are groups and secret, the effect arising from slang is

the secret language for thief or criminals, in fact it is not so. The

use of slang introduces many new words into the language by

recombining old words into new meaning (Fromkin and Rodman,

427). For example, grass and pot has widened their meaning to

“marijuana”.

Spolsky (35) characterized slang as a peculiar type used in

“intimate” conversations for a group. Slang is a kind of jargon

characterized by refusal to the formal rules, the comparative

freshness and ephemerality general and used to claim solidarity.

Frequency, slang is associated to communication between peers

and communication that be used by gangsters. In accordance with

Coleman (2), slang is usually used to describe the level of language

that is more informal than the standard, less domestic than

colloquial and less formal than jargon.

From the defintions about slang above, the writer concludes

that slang is an informal language used by a particular group so the

outsiders cannot understand the conversation that have another


12

meaning from original word, and also slang is sometimes arranged

from old words became the new word that neglect linguistics

standards in the formation of words in general.

3. Morphology

Chaer (3) explains, etymologically, the word morphology

are comes from the word ‘morf’ means forms and the word ‘logi’

means knowledge, thereby morphology is a science about the form.

According to Alwasilah (110), morphology is a part of linguistics

that studying about morpheme, he further added that morphology is

studying and analyzes the structure, shape and classification of

words. Morphology in biology is the study of the form and

structure of organisms, while morphology in linguistics is deals

with the internal structure of words and how they are formed

(Aronoff and Fudeman, 2).

From the meaning of morphology above the writer can

conclude that morphology is a branch of linguistic that studying

about forming a word from the smallest unit of linguistic.

4. The Theories of Morphology

The theory of morphology is divided into two types; there

are structural morphology and generative morphology. Structural

morphology tends to be applied to a language which has been

produced. Meanwhile, the generative morphology only focuses to

the competence theory (Ba’dulu and Heman, 14).


13

Structural morphology has its own organization in

analyzing the words. It has four processes, there are list of

morpheme, word formation, morphophonology processes and last

is dictionary (Ba’dulu and Heman, 17).

List of Morphemes

Word Formation

Morphophonology
Process

Dictionary

Figure 1. The Organization of Structural Morphology


(Nida, 16).

The first task is identifying all morphemes from the data

that had been collected. Second component is word formation,

which explains how morphemes of language arranged in a group to

form a word in language. The third is morphophonology processes,

a mechanism of morphophonology process which shows the

changes that occur in the merger of morpheme, such as

assimilation, release, addition, replacement and permutation. The

last component is dictionary (Ba’dulu and Heman, 17).


14

While generative morphology according to the theoretical

model by Halle in Scalise (31) has four sub-components; they are

1) list of morphemes. 2) word formation rules, 3) filter, 4)

dictionary of words. The four sub-components can be presented in

the chart below:

Figure 2. The Organization of Generative Morphology according

Halle (1973)

This research will only use the structural morphology

because the data has already produced, not assumptions or

principles.

5. Root, Base and Stem

Important for us to know the inner structure of a word, the

structures are: root, base and stem. According to Katamba (41),

root is the core that cannot be reduced more from a word, with

absolutely nothing embedded in the root. In accordance with Chaer

(160) root is used for mentions a form that cannot be analyzed

further. Usually, root can be standing by its own, which became the
15

basis of the word formation.In a compound word like ‘wheelchair’

there are two roots, ‘wheel’ and ‘chair’

Base can be given a certain affix in the affixation process,

could be repeated in a process of reduplication, or can be combined

with other morpheme in a process composition (Chaer, 159).

Subsequently, Katamba interpret the base as a form that can be

added by affix, whether derivational affix or inflectional affix (45).

So basically, base is a word or part of a word viewed as an input to

a derivational or inflectional process, in particular affixation. For

example, the word ‘touchable’ can act as a base for prefixation to

give ‘untouchable’.

The last but not least, Stem is that part of a word that is in

existence before any inflectional affixes (Katamba, 46). Stem is

used to refer to the basic shape in the process of inflection or

inflectional affix (Chaer, 160). In the form ‘untouchables’ the stem

is ‘untouchable’, in the form ‘wheelchairs’ the stem is

‘wheelchair’, even though the stem contains two roots.

6. Morpheme, Lexeme and Words

Morpheme is the smallest unit of the grammatical structure

or the smallest part of the word (Carstairs-McCarthy, 16). As

Katamba says in his book Morphology, he defines morpheme as

the smallest difference in the shape of word that correlates with the

smallest difference in word or in grammatical structure. This can


16

be recognize that English word forms such as talks, talker, and

talking must consist of one element ‘talk’. All these elements are

described as morphemes.

Morpheme is divided into two, namely: free morpheme and

bound morpheme. The definition of a free morpheme according to

Yule (68) is morpheme that can stand by themselves as single

words. In Bahasa for example, the forms of pulang, makan, rumah

are including as free morpheme. This type of morphemes can be

use without having to combine it first with another morpheme. On

the contrary, bound morpheme is a morpheme that can be used or

cannot appear in the sentence without combined it first with

another morpheme (Chaer, 152). Yule defines bound morphemes

as those forms that cannot normally stand alone and are typically

attached to another form (68). Bound morphemes never occur in

isolation, that is, are not regularly uttered alone in normal

discourse. Such bound morphemes include prefixes, suffixes,

infixes, replacives, subtractive, and some roots (Nida, 81). For

example, the affix -ly in the word locally is kind of bound

morpheme.

Lexeme and words is a linguistic unit that is larger than

morpheme. Lexeme and words are two different terms. Generally,

we can say that lexeme is vocabulary items that listed in the

dictionary. Lexeme according to Carstairs-McCarthy is a word


17

seen as an abstract grammatical entity, represented concretely by

one or more different inflected word forms according to the

grammatical context (144). The forms pockling, pockle, pockles,

and pockled are different representation of the lexeme POCKLE

(Katamba, 18). They all share a core meaning although they are

spelled and pronounced differently.

In another place, the definition of word is the smallest unit

that can stand alone in the language. O'Grady and Guzman (132)

explain, “From all of the units of linguistics analysis, the word is

the most familiar with. Defined the most reliable of the words is

they are the smallest free form found in languages”. According to

Katamba (18) word is particular physical realization of lexeme is

speech or writing. We can refer to see, sees, seeing, saw, and seen

as five different words.

Where the distinction is important, lexemes are

conventionally represented in small capitals while word forms are

in italics (Carstairs-McCarthy, 144). For example, the verb lexeme

PERFORMhas four inflected word form: perform, performs,

performing and performed.

7. Word Formation Process

Formation of words is divided by the rules of word

formation. In this research, the writer uses the theory of word


18

formation from George Yule (2010) to analyze the data. There are

ten word formation processes according to Yule:

a. Coinage

Coinage is the invention of totally new terms in a word

(Yule, 53). Hatch and Brown (175) defines coinage as a process

when a new word is needed but no exact word to express. Coinage

happens when a new word is needed. The most typical sources are

invented trade names for commercial products that become general

terms for any versions of that product. Examples: ‘kleenex’ for

tissue, ‘Indomie’ for instant noodles, and many more.

b. Borrowing

Yule said that borrowing is the taking over of words from

other languages (54). Borrowing actually is the process of

borrowing words from foreign languages. Hatch and Brown said

that every language is borrowing from other languages (170).

Throughout history, the English language has adopted of words

from other languages, including Arabic, French, Dutch, Italian,

German, and so on (Yule, 54). Example of borrowing words: in

Japan, besiboru, is borrowing words from English which means

‘baseball’.
19

c. Compounding

According to Yule (55), compounding is a joining of two

separate words to produce a single form. While in Chaer (185),

compoundingis the result and the process of merging the basic

morphemes, whether free morpheme or bound morpheme, thus

forming a construction that has a different or a new lexical identity.

Common English compounds are bookcase, doorknob, fingersprint,

sunburn, textbook, etc.

d. Blending

The word formation process in which there are two root

words merge into one. According to Yule (55), blending is the

combination of two separate forms to produce a single new term.

Blends are similar to compounds but parts of the words that are

combined are deleted and so they are “less than” compound

(Fromkin and Rodman, 89). Usually, blending is only taking the

beginning of one word and joining it to the end of the other word.

Examples: smog from the word smoke and fog, brunch from

breakfast and lunch, motel from motor and hotel.

e. Clipping

Clipping process happens when a word of more than one

syllable is reduced to a shorter form (Yule, 56). Clipping is one

way in which we change the words. We may shorten dormitory to


20

dorm, we use the longer term if the situation is formal and use the

shorter one if the situation is informal. O’Grady et al says that

clipping is especially popular speech of the students where it has

yielded the new form (135). Other common examples are phone

from telephone, ad from advertisement, condo from condominium,

flu from influenza.

f. Back Formation

Back formation is the process when a word of one type

(usually a noun) is reduced to form a word of another type (usually

a verb) (Yule 56-57). While according to O’Grady is a process that

creates a new word by deleting a real affixes from another word in

the language (136). A good examples for back formation are, the

noun television became the verb televise,donate from donation,

housekeep from housekeeper, etc.

g. Conversion

Conversion is a process of a changing the function of a

word without any reduction (Yule, 57). While according to Hatch

and Brown, conversion is process which allows us to create

additional lexical items out of those that already exist (179). This

process usually changing a noun becomes a verb. For example,

nouns such as bottle, butter, vacation have come to be used,


21

through conversion, as verb: We bottled home-brew last night;

Have you buttered the toast?; they’re vacationing in Florida.

h. Acronym

Every acronym is an abbreviation because acronym is a

shortened word or phrase.Acronyms are new words formed from

the initial letters of a set of other words that pronounced as new

single words, as in NATO, NASA or UNESCO (Yule, 58).

Actually, there is another type of abbreviation that is Intialism, this

type is the shortening from the initial letters of each word and can

be read with spelling of each letter (Hatch and Brown, 210). The

examples are, BFF for Best Friends Forever, USA for United State

of America.

i. Derivation

O’Grady and Guzman (144) defines derivation as a process

when one word added by affixes and form in which meaning and

categories are different from the basic word. This process is the

most common word formation process to be found in the

production of new English words. This process makes clear the

word class assignment of the word to make it into adjective, adverb

or another part of speech. Examples:

 Verb to Noun : sing + er = singer

 Adjective to adverb : happy + ly = happily.


22

 Noun to Verb : vaccine + ate = vaccinate

Affixes have to be added with the word in case forming the

new word. Some affixes that have to be added to the beginning of

the word are called prefixes (e.g. un- and mis-). Another affixes

that have to be added to the end of the word (e.g. –ly, less) are

called suffixes. The third type of affixes is called infixes,

morphemes that are inserted into other morphemes (Fromkin and

Rodman, 72). The most common infix in America is the word

fuckin and all the euphemism for it, such as friggin, freaking,

flippin. In Britain, a common infix is bloody.

j. Multiple Processes

A particular word is possible to have more than one

process. Multiple processes happen when one word is needed

another process just in case to configurate a new word (Yule, 60).

For example, the term deli seems to have become a common

American English expression when it is actually a borrowing word

from German delicatessen and then clipping that borrowed form.

RESEARCH FINDINGS

In this chapter, the writer explains two main discussion, they are data

description and data analysis.

A. Data Description

From the Deadpool movie script, 32 slang words were founded. All

32 data have been collected and identified; this research classifies them in

a table based on the types of word formation. The following is the table of

The principals of morphology structural can be divided into four

steps in organizing the process of developing a word:

Identifying Morpheme

Word Formation

Morphophonological Process

Dictionary
27

1. Compound

Compounding is a joining of two separate words to produce a

single form (Yule, 55). Those two separate words can be free morpheme or

bound morpheme, thus forming a construction that has a different or a new

lexical identity.

Datum 1.

Word : Warm-blooded
Sentence : “you know, for a merc, you’re pretty warm-
blooded. I bet you let the kid of easy, too.”
Word Formation : Compounding

The word warm-blooded consists of two morphemes. They are

warm and blooded. The word warm and blooded can be said as free

morpheme. Warm is a free morpheme that can stand alone and has

meaning by itself, while blooded is a word that has a root blood and

inflection –ed. Blood is a free morpheme that can also stand alone, while

–ed is a bound morpheme that cannot stand alone.

The process of this formation happen when two free morphemes,

warm and blooded, joined together and generate a new word warm-

blooded and this kind of processed is considered as a process of

compound.

In this process, the word warm-blooded has created by combining

two words. It combines the word warm and blooded without deleting or

changing any letters from the base words.

be divided any further into smaller pieces which have meaning. Therefore,

this word bump-fuzzies is considered as to have three morphemes that

became a new lexical identity.

The process of this formation happened when the basic

morphemes, wether free morpheme and bound morpheme, merge into one

to become a ne word. This process is called compounding process.

This word has nothing special of the morphophonological process.

There is no special change in omitting or adding any letters to create the

word.

The word fomation that happen here is compounding process.

Compounding happens when two or more words joined to produce a

single form. Goody-two-shoes consist of the word goody, two, and shoes

which have different meaning if they stand by its own in a sentence, but

when it became one word they have another meaning that very different

than the original meaning.

In this process, the word goody-two-shoes does not have any

special morphophonological process. It created only by combining three

words goody, two and shoes.

The word pissy is shortening from pissed off. It shortens by

clipping off the last two morphemes. Then pissy is classified as clipping

word.

In this process, the word pissy is omitting the last part of the word

from pissed off. It shortens by clipping some letters and then inserting one

letter which is –y to make it easier to say.

4. Abbreviation

Abbreviation is divided into two types, they are acronym and

initialism. Acronym is a new words formed from the initial letter of a set

of other words that pronounced as new single words (Yule, 58). While

initialism is the shorthening from the initial letters of each word anc can be

read with spelling of each letter (Hatch and Brown, 210).

The word formation process that occurs in here is abbreviation.

Abbreviation is the process of omission parts of lexeme or combination of

lexeme thus becoming a shorthened form, but still has the same meaning

from the meaning of original form (Chaer, 191). The type of abbreviaion

that happen here is initialism; where the shortening from the initial letters

of each is a word that can be read with spelling of each letter.

In this process, there is no special change to creat the word FYI. It

only shortens the base words For Your Information by taking the first

letter F, Y, and I, and omitting the other letters.

The word FYI is listed in The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang

and Unconventional English by Dalzell and Victor, in Urban Dictionary

and in Dictionary of Slang and Conventional English by Eric Partridge.

5. Multiple Processes
50

Multiple process happen when one word is needed another process

just in case to configurate a new word (Yule,60). From data description the

word mother-fucker were founded five times, so the writer only write one

as a representative.

Datum 27.

Word : Mother-fucker
Sentence : “You weak motherfucker!”

Word Formation : Multiple Processes

Mother-fucker is a word that consists of three morphemes; they

are, mother, fuck and –er. Mother and fuck are free morphemes that can

stand alone as a word, while –er is an suffix that considered as bound

morpheme.

Mother-fucker is a word that having multiple process in forming a

new word. First is having compounding process between mother and fuck

as mother-fuck. Then having inflection process which added an suffix –er

to make the new words that have different meaning from the word mother-

fuck.

In this process, there is no special change of phonological process

to create the word mother-fucker. It only combined all three morphemes

into one.

Althought this word is considered as the most frequent slang word

to say but it only listed in Urban Dictionary.


CHAPTER IV

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

A. Conclusions

This study was conducted to analyze the types of word formation

processes found in the Deadpool movie, and also to discover the word

formation processes of the English slang words in the Deadpool movie.

The writer found 32 slang words from the Deadpool movie and analyzed

all of the data.

Regarding the types of word formation processes the writer has

proposed in the theoretical description, this research concludes that types

of word formation processes found in the Deadpool movie consist of five

types of slang. There are blending, compounding, clipping, initialism and

multiple processes. Among the five word formation processes,

compounding were the most frequent word formation process. However,

not all the types of word formations are explained in the corpus data. From

ten types of word formations in the theoretical description, there are five

types that are not found in the research. Those are borrowing, back

formation, conversion, derivation and coinage.

There are four steps in structural morphology to analyze word

formation process. Those are identifying morpheme, word formation,

morphophonological process and dictionary. From 32 data that have been

analyzed, most of the words are structurally perfect as words because they

51
52

passed all the four processes of structural morphology which are

morpheme, word formation, morphophonological process and they are

listed in the dictionaries that are used in this research. Other than that,

some word formations that are analyzed before have no

morphophonological process or no changes in pronunciation, and also the

word chrome-penised is not listed in the dictioanries that the writer use.

B. Suggestions

The writer suggests the readers to do the research about the word

formation process of slang for further discussion, because there are many

interesting aspects which can be analyzed. As for the object of this

research, has chosen utterances in movie to analyze, the writer suggests to

do further research on slangs found in the spoken language in real life or

songs to be analyzed. It is very important to have a further understanding

about words and its form. Moreover slang words are now often used in

society; many people know the meaning but do not understand how the

word actually formed.

3. Some Dialogues in the Deadpool Movie Script.

(RETRIVED FROM: HTTPS://GENIUS.COM/20TH-CENTURY-FOX-


DEADPOOL-SCRIPT-ANNOTATED)

1. WADE : Jeremy, is it? Wade Wilson. That is ah, a no go on the


tiperoo, Jer. I’m not here for him. I’m here for you.
MERCHANT : Oh, hey, wow, dodged a big time bullet on that one!
WADE : You’re not out of the woods yet. You need to seriously
ease-up on the bedazzling. They’re jeans, not a
chandelier. P.S., I am keeping your wallet. You did kind
of give it to me.

2. Wade takes out a gold card and places it on the bar. Weasel takes it.
WADE : And I ain’t taking any babysitting money, alright? Make
sure that gets back to Miss, uh…
WEASEL : Orlovsky?
WADE : Her.
WEASEL : You sure?
WADE : Mhm.
WEASEL : You know, for a merc, you’re pretty warm-blooded. I bet
you let the kid of easy, too.
WADE : Oh, he’s not a bad kid, he’s… Just a little light stalking. I
was way worse than him when I was his age. I was
traveling to exotic places. Baghdad, Mogadishu,
Jacksonville. Meeting new and exciting people.
WEASEL : And killing them, yeah.

3. He holds his arm up, revealing a bullet hole going straight through.
Through the hole, he sees the motorcycle coming back.
DEADPOOL: Mother fucker! Ten. (He shoots and misses). Shit! Nine.
(He shoots and misses). Fuck! Eight. (He shoots and misses). Shit fuck!
He leaps over the car and takes aim, but loses his chance at a good shot.
DEADPOOL: Bad Deadpool.

4. Wade puts his hand on Vanessa.


VANESSA : Hey, hands off the merchandise.
WADE : Merchandise, oh. So you uh… bump-fuzzies for money?
VANESSA : Yep.
WADE : Rough childhood?
VANESSA : Rougher than yours. Daddy left before I was born.

5. VANESSA : Well, I hate to break it to you, but your 48 minutes are up.
WADE : Hey, how many more minutes could I get for this? FYI,
five mini-lion bots come together to form one super-lion
61

bot.
VANESSA : (Excitedly) Five mini-lion bots? Three minutes.
WADE : What do we do with the remaining two minutes, thirty
seven seconds?
VANESSA : Cuddle?

6. He lifts his mask up.


DEADPOOL : How about now?
FRANCIC : Huh. Wade fucking Wilson. Well hello, gorgeous.
DEADPOOL : Yeah, like I got bit by a radioactive Sharpei. Yeah, and
whose fault is that, Francis? Time to undo what you did
to this butterface.
FRANCIS : You should thank me. Apparently I made you immortal.
I'm actually quite jealous.
DEADPOOL : Yeah, but this ain't a life worth living, is it? Now, I'm
about to do to you what Limp Bizkit did to music in the
late '90s.

7. WADE : You're right. Cancer's only in my liver, lungs, prostate,


and brain. All things I can live without.
VANESSA : You belong here at home. Surrounded by your Ultron, and
your Bernadette, and your me.
WADE : Listen, we both know that cancer is a shitshow. Like,
Yakoff Smirnov opening for the Spin Doctors at the Iowa
State Fair, shitshow. And under no circumstances will I
take you to that show. I want you to remember me. Not the
ghost of Christmas me.
VANESSA : Well, I want to remember us!
WADE : I swear to God, I'm gonna find you in the next life, and
I'm gonna boombox Careless Whisper outside your
window. Wham!
VANESSA : No one is boomboxing shit, okay?

8. COLOSSUS : (To Francis) Stay right here. You've been warned


before, Deadpool. This is a shameful and reckless use of
your powers. You will both be coming with us.
DEADPOOL : Look, Colossus! I don't have time for the goody-two-
shoes bullshit right now! And... you are?
NEGASONIC : Negasonic Teenage Warheadf.
DEADPOOL : Negasonic Teenage... What the shit? That's the coolest
name ever! So what, you're like his sidekick?
COLOSSUS : No, trainee.

9. COLOSSUS : Wade, you're better than this! Join us! Use your powers
for good.
62

Deadpool tosses a metal disk at Francis, hitting him in the face.


DEADPOOL : Heads up.
COLOSSUS : Be a superhero!
DEADPOOL : Listen, the day I decide to become a crime-fighting shit-
swizzler, who rooms with a bunch of other little whiners,
at the Neverland mansion of some creepy, old, bald,
Heaven's Gate-looking mother fucker, on that day... I'll
send your shiny happy ass a friend request. But until
then, I'm gonna do what I came here to do. Either that, or
slap the bitch out of you.

10. DEADPOOL : Rock, meet Bottom. When life ends up breath-takingly


fucked, you can generally trace it back to one big, bad
decision.
CUT TO: DIMLY LIT FACILITY
WADE is on a stretcher.
WADE : (Narrating) The one that sent you down the road to
shittsburgh. This, well, this was mine.
MAN : Mr. Wilson, nothing warms my heart more than a change
of someone else's. You finally hit, 'Fuck it'.
WADE : Just promise me you'll do right by me. So I can do right
by someone else.
MAN : Of course.

11. Wade head butts her.


ANGEL : Mother fucker -
FRANCIS : Hey, hey, hey! It's alright! It's alright. I think we owe him
that, yeah? Take off. Go on, off you go. Quick question.
What's my name? Didn't think so.
He closes the machine and turns it on.
WADE : (Narrating) Sorry, Francis, my lips are sealed.
In the machine, Wade reveals that he took a match from Angel. He lights it
and throws it towards the oxygen vent. After a few moments, the machine
explodes, causing massive damage to the facility and starting a fire.
Francis comes down with a fire extinguisher. He sees that Wade escaped
from the machine. Wade charges him with a metal pipe and they begin
fighting.
FRANCIS : You don't wanna kill me! I'm the only one that can fix
your barking mug!

12. COLOSSUS : Wade...


NEGASONIC : Hey -
DEAPOOL : Zip it, Sinead!
NEGASONIC : Hey, douchepool!
DEADPOOL : And I hope you're watching!
He turns around to point at Francis, who is no longer there. He gasps.
63

13. Deadpool looks back and forth at where Colossus is and where Francis
was.
DEADPOOL: That does it!
He jumps up and hits Colossus's head, breaking his hand.
DEADPOOL: Oh, Canada! That's not good.
COLOSSUS: Wade, please.
DEADPOOL: Cock shot!
With his good hand, he punches Colossus in the crotch. This does nothing
but break his hand.

14. WADE : No way. I'm not making her life as ugly as mine, man.
WEASEL : Oh, come on, Wade. It can't be that bad.
WADE : Ah, bullshit! I'm a monster inside and out. I belong in a
fucking circus!
WEASEL : Wade, Vanessa loves you. She doesn't care what you - Oh.
Oh.
WADE : Do you like what you see?
WEASEL : No. You look like an avocado had sex with an older, more
disgusting avocado.
WADE : Yeah.
WEASEL : And not gently. Like, it was hate fucking. There was
something wrong with the relationship, and that was the
only catharsis they could find without violence.
WADE : And the only guy who can fix this fugly mug is the brown
shitstick from the mutant factory, and he's gone! Poof.
WEASEL : Yeah, you've got to do something to remedy this, cause as
of now you only have on course of action.

15. WADE : Here's what I'm actually going to do. I'm going to work
through his crew until somebody gives up Francis, force
him to fix this, put a bullet in his skull, and fuck the brain
hole.
WEASEL : I don't want to see that or think of it again. But the
douchebag does think you're dead, right?
WADE : Yeah.
WEASEL : That's good. You should keep it that way.

16. He attacks some guys, shouting 'Where's Francis?' Back at his apartment,
he realizes his clothes are covered in blood. Cut to him in a laundry mat.
An old blind woman addresses him.
AL: Seltzer water and lemon for blood. Or wear red. Dumbass.

17. DEADPOOL : Al?


He opens the door.
64

DEADPOOL : Good morning, sleepy head. It smells like old lady pants
in here.
AL : Yes, I'm old, I wear pants.
DEADPOOL : But you're no lady.
Deadpool takes off his shoes and puts crocs on.
DEADPOOL : Oh! So comfy.
AL : Upside of being blind, I've never seen you in crocs.

18. AL : I wish I'd never heard of Craigslist.


DEADPOOL : And I quote, 'Looking for blind and likes imperfections,
must be good with hands.' Or would you rather I build
the ikea and you pay rent?
AL : Why so douchy this morning?
DEADPOOL : Let's recap. The cock-thistle that turned me into this
freak slipped through my arms today. Arm. Catching him
my only chance to be hot again, get my super sexy ex
back, and prevent this shit from happening to someone
else. So yeah, today was about as much fun as a sand
paper dildo.

19. DEADPOOL : It's about the size of a KFC spork.


AL : I get why you're so pissy. But your mood's never going to
right until you find this woman and tell her how you feel!
DEADPOOL : I keep telling you, Mrs. Magoo, she wouldn't have me! If
you could see me, you'd understand.
AL : Looks aren't everything.
DEADPOOL : Looks are everything! You ever heard David Beckham
speak? It's like he mouth-sexed a can of helium! You think
Ryan Reynolds got this far on his superior acting method?

20. Deadpool and Weasel walk down a sidewalk.


DEADPOOL : I can't believe I'm doing this. Is there a word for half
afraid, half angry?
WEASEL : Yeah, afrangry, I guess. Do you know what you're going
to say to her?
DEADPOOL : Ugh, fuck me.
WEASEL : Uh, I'd maybe not start with that.

21. They enter a strip club.


DJ : Hey, coming up on stage right now, give it up for
Chastity!
WEASEL : Or, as I like to call her, irony.
DEADPOOL : We've got to find her fast, before numbnuts does.
WEASEL : How do you know she's in here?
DEADPOOL : Cause I'm constantly stalking the fox.
65

22. Cut to Deadpool washing his face in the bathroom.


DEADPOOL : You weak motherfucker! Come on. Come on, get it
together. This isn't about me, this is about Vanessa. Here
we go. Maximum effort.
Cut back to the club.

23. DEADPOOL : Hey, hey! Where'd she go?


WEASEL : I saw her head to the back. Go get her tiger.
Cut to Deadpool entering the alley out back. He finds his old coin purse on
the ground.
DEADPOOL : Fuck... Mother fucker!

24. Angel and Francis lead a bound and gagged Vanessa on the platform.
FRANCIS : Put her down over here.
Angel ties her up.
FRANCIS : Go on then.
Angel removes the gag.
VANESSA : Thanks, dickless. And I mean you.
FRANCIS : Well. You're a talker too? You and Wade.
VANESSA : I've been trying to tell you assholes you've got the wrong
girl. My old boyfriend, he's dead.
FRANCIS : See, I thought that too. But he keeps on coming back. Like
a cockroach. Ugly. Now, I may not feel, but he does. Let's
see how he fights with your head on the block.

25. passenger seat. Colossus and Negasonic are in back.


DEADPOOL : And that is why, in my opinion, the movie cocoon is pure
pornography.
DOPINDER : Who brought this twinkly man?
DEADPOOL : Twinkly, but deadly. My chrome-penised friend back
there has agreed to do me this solid. In exchange, I told him
I would consider joining his boy band.
COLOSSUS : It's not boy band.

26. VANESSA : Wade?


DEADPOOL : Don't worry, baby. I'm gonna get you out of that shitbox.
FRANCIS : What better way to get inside that head of yours.
DEADPOOL : Oh, you never left.
VANESSA : But you did, asshole!
FRANCIS : Ah, take a deep breath darling. Oh wait, wrong choice of
words.

27. COLOSSUS : Wade! Four or five moments.


DEADPOOL : I'm sorry?
COLOSSUS : Four or five moments. That's all it takes.
DEADPOOL : To...?
66

COLOSSUS : Be a hero. Everyone thinks it's a full-time job. Wake up a


hero, brush your teeth a hero, go to work a hero. Not true!
Over a lifetime, there are only four or five moments that
really matter. Moments when you're offered a choice. To
make a sacrifice, conquer a flaw, save a friend. Spare an
enemy. In these moments, everything else falls away. The
way the world sees us, the way we -
Deadpool shoots Francis in the head. Colossus vomits.
COLOSSUS : Why?
DEADPOOL : You were droning on! Sure, I may be stuck looking like
pepperoni flatbread, but at least fuckface won't heal from
that. If wearing superhero tights means sparing
psychopaths, then maybe I wasn't meant to wear 'em. Not
everyone monitors a hall like you.
