Kata kunci: Slang, Black Eyed Peas, The E.N.D Album
Bahasa merupakan instrumen penting bagi manusia dalam komunikasi
sehari-hari. Dalam komunikasi ada dua macam bahasa, yakni bahasa formal dan
informal. Orang menggunakan bahasa formal ketika mereka berada dalam situasi
formal, dan mereka akan menggunakan bahasa informal ketika mereka berada
dalam situasi informal. Pada dasarnya, untuk menentukan sebuah konteks yaitu
dengan menggunakan berbagai variasi bahasa, baik secara formal maupun
informal dimana dapat dilihat dari pemilihan kosakata. Salah satu ciri dari bahasa
slang adalah penggunaan bahasa gaul. Slang adalah sebuah kata-kata tidak resmi
atau frase dan ekspresi yang tidak digunakan secara umum. Bahasa gaul dapat
digunakan dalam percakapan sehari-hari terutama dalam situasi informal, lirik
lagu, dalam puisi, terjemahan film dan lainnya. Dalam hal ini penulis ingin
menganalisis penggunaan bahasa gaul dalam lirik lagu.
Rumusan masalah penelitian ini adalah: 1) karakteristik bahasa slang
apa saja yang digunakan oleh Black Eyed Peas ' di dalam album The E.N.D, 2)
apa arti dari bahasa slang yang terdapat di lagu Black Eyed Peas' dalam album
The E.N.D.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah: 1) Untuk mengetahui karakteristik
dari slang yang digunakan oleh Black Eyed Peas 'di dalam album The E.N.D, 2)
Untuk mengetahui arti dari bahasa slang yang terdapat di lagu Black Eyed Peas'
dalam album The E.N.D.
Metode penelitian: 1) desain penelitian dalam penelitian ini adalah
penelitian kepustakaan dengan pendekatan kualitatif 2) sumber data penelitian ini
adalah Black Eyed Peas di album The E.N.D 3) teknik pengumpulan data
penelitian ini adalah dokumentasi, 4) langkah analisis data: mengumpulkan lagu
Black Eyed Peas, memilih lagu Black Eyed Peas, membaca dan memahami lirik,
mengidentifikasi, mencatat data dan mengklasifikasi data menurut karakteristik
dan makna dari bahasa slang tersebut.
Hasil pertama dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada empat
karakteristik slang yang digunakan oleh Black Eyed Peas, diantaranya adalah (a)
creativity, (b) flippant, (c) fresh, (d) onomatopoetic. Fresh lah yang mendominasi
x
karakteristik tersebut dalam Black Eyed Peas 'di album The E.N.D. Ada 20 kata
termasuk karakteristik dari Fresh. Selanjutnya, 16 kata-kata yang termasuk dari
creativity, 7 kata untuk flippant, dan yang terakhir adalah 3 kata termasuk dari
onomatopoetic. Hasil yang kedua adalah makna bahasa slang yang terdapat di
Black Eyed Peas' dalam album The E.N.D. Belajar dan memahami arti bahasa,
terutama bahasa slang, banyak memberikan sesuatu yang menarik tentang sebuah
komunikasi. Banyak orang lain di luar sana yang mencemooh akan sebuah bahasa
namun tidak tahu atau memahami apa yang kelompok itu katakan. Dengan
mempelajari bahasa slang ini, penulis menyadari betapa beragamnya sebuah
bahasa khususnya memahami arti dari bahasa (yang dianggap) tabu tersebut.
Menggunakan bahasa slang membuat bahasa Inggris anda jauh lebih beragam
bahkan sedikit lebih menarik dari pada umumnya.
