Abstract

This study investigates the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral impact of taboo words spoken by parents to their children, with a specific focus on young adults aged 19-25. Through interviews with nine participants, 15 taboo expressions and seven social comparison phrases were identified and semantically categorized based on Jay’s (2009) classification into five categories: mental, physical, religious, scatological, and sexual terms. The findings reveal that mental terms, such as insults targeting intelligence, were the most frequently used, accounting for 8 occurrences. The use of social comparison, particularly upward comparison, further exacerbated feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem in the participants. This study emphasizes the long-term psychological impact of parental language, urging parents to be more mindful of the words they use to foster healthier emotional development and stronger parent-child relationships. The results suggest that frequent exposure to derogatory language can lead to negative coping mechanisms, emotional dysregulation, and anxiety, highlighting the importance of supportive and constructive communication within families.

Abstract

This study examines the use of harsh language by elementary school children at a public school in West Jakarta. A qualitative research approach, combining observation and interviews, was used to gather data from 20 participants. The aim was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the usage of offensive language in their environment. The findings reveal five categories of harsh language: Dyspeptic Swearing, Abusive Swearing, Idiomatic Swearing, Emphatic Swearing, and Cathartic Swearing. Additionally, several types of offensive language were identified, including Animal, Sex Organ, Sexual Activity, Scatological, Patronymic, Racial/Ethnic Insults, Ableism, and Body Shaming. The study also highlights that the usage of these offensive terms is influenced by neurological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. The results of this research provide valuable insights into the wide variety of harsh words used by elementary school children and emphasize the need for fostering the use of more positive language among students.
