Abstract

This study analyzes the types and meanings of slang words used in Neighbors (2014) from a sociolinguistic perspective. The study aims to identify the types of slang based on Allan and Burridge's (2006) classification and analyze their meanings based on Leech's (1981) theory of meaning. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method. The data were collected from the movie dialogues and its script, then classified and analyzed based on the selected theories. A total of 43 distinct slang expressions were identified and classified into five types: Fresh and Creative, Flippant, Imitative, Acronym, and Clipping. Fresh and Creative was the most dominant type, accounting for 32 expressions (74.42%). The findings also show that slang expressions serve various social functions, including solidarity, social identity, interpersonal relationships, cultural tradition, emotional attachment, and conflict resolution. The study demonstrates that slang in Neighbors is not only used as informal vocabulary but also functions as a resource for expressing social relationships and identities within different interactional contexts.
