Abstract

Slang is an informal form of language commonly used in casual conversation to express identity, emotions, and social connections. It is especially prevalent in spoken English among younger generations and is frequently featured in films, music, and social media. This study analyzes the types and functions of slang used by the male and female main characters in the film Anyone but You (2023), applying Allan and Burridge’s (2006) classification. Data were collected through script analysis of approximately 120 minutes of dialogue and examined using a descriptive qualitative approach. Out of the 25 slang expressions identified, four types of slang were found: flippant, clipping, fresh and creative, and imitative. Flippant slang was the most common. Although both characters used expletive and taboo words, the male character, Ben, used slang more frequently and focused on masculine identity and peer-group language. In contrast, the female character, Bea, employed slang that was more emotionally expressive and context-dependent. Overall, the use of slang enriches the dialogue by making it more natural, relatable, and reflective of the characters’ social identities and emotions. These findings also highlight gender differences in slang usage and contribute to sociolinguistic studies on film discourse.

Abstract

This study investigates how code-switching serves as a gendered linguistic strategy in the Indonesian web series My Nerd Girl, focusing on how male and female characters alternate between Bahasa Indonesia and English to express identity and perform social roles. Using a descriptive qualitative method and guided by Poplack’s (1980) typology, the research examined 223 instances of code-switching throughout the series. The findings show that inter-sentential switching is the most frequently used type among both genders; however, female characters switch codes more often and for different sociolinguistic reasons. While female characters commonly use code-switching to build solidarity, express identity, and navigate power dynamics, male characters tend to employ it for functions such as maintaining privacy, excluding others, and adding emphasis. These gendered patterns indicate that code-switching in the series is not used arbitrarily but is embedded with intentional social meaning shaped by narrative context. By situating the analysis within a fictional yet culturally resonant media text, the study highlights how language use in scripted dialogue can reflect and shape real-world gendered communication practices. The research contributes to the fields of sociolinguistics, gender studies, and media linguistics by offering a culturally grounded perspective on how multilingual language use intersects with gender in Indonesian popular media.
