Abstract

The term "swearing words" refers to diction that is deemed taboo, unpleasant, cursing, and restricted in discourse. However, there is no way to avoid it. It has so existed since the beginning of human spoken communication and continues to this day. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the swearing phrases in one of the holy scriptures, the holy Quran. This was done to determine whether swearing words exist in the sacred place or not. The researchers collected data by reading scripture and noting each indicated verse. The efforts were done three times to measure there was no any single datum which was left. Next, a data selection process was carried out to ensure the accuracy of the data by consulting Al Tabari's Tafseer book. After collecting a large amount of data, the researchers conducted a thorough analysis to determine: 1) the function of swearing words and 2) the origin of swearing phrases as depicted in holy text. The investigation revealed that there are two roles of cursing. According to the findings, the swear words acquired are employed to insult, to curse, and show furious emotions. The second discovery is that swearing words can come from five different sources. The categories are animal, mental, physical, safety, and respectability.Keywords: Swearing words, Holy Scripture, Qur’an.

Abstract

Bangkan Malayan, a dialect of the Malay language spoken by the indigenous people of the Bangka Islands, is integral to their cultural and social communication. This language facilitates familial bonds, community cohesion, and cultural preservation. Like many languages, Bangkan Malay has unique features, including phatic expressions. Phatic expressions are used not to exchange ideas but to build and maintain social contact. Understanding these expressions is essential for fostering social relationships and effective communication. This study analyzes Bangkan Malay phatic expressions, focusing on their forms and functions. Data were collected through natural conversations and interviews with native speakers, ensuring the purity and authenticity of the data. The analysis applied theories by Kridalaksana (2012) and Reranta (2022), classifying phatic expressions into particles, words, phrases, and combined forms. Functions of these expressions were examined through qualitative analysis and experiments with native speakers. The findings reveal various forms and functions of phatic expressions in Bangkan Malay. Particle expressions like /gǝ/, /seɁ/, /jo/, /kɑn/, and /keɁ/" serve to reinforce meaning, initiate statements, and maintain conversational context. Phatic clauses such as /oi pradeek/oi sǝpǝradiɁ/, /kǝnǝ lah makan jo/, and /kǝlaɁ lah pulaŋ ǝ/ are used to initiate and close conversations, reflecting the social values of politeness and hospitality in Bangkan Malay culture. Keywords: Bangkan-Malayan, Local Language, Phatic Expression
