Abstract

Swear words have significantly evolved in modern society, shifting from their traditional role as offensive or taboo language to becoming dynamic tools in communication. This study explores the transformation of profanity, focusing on its meanings, functions, and usage. It examines how swear words have taken on new purposes, such as adding humor, emphasizing speech, expressing solidarity, and conveying identity. Using linguistic, cultural, and psychological perspectives, the research analyzes the influence of media, technology, and globalization in normalizing and reshaping profanity. Social media and popular culture have played a crucial role in spreading swear words across different cultures, resulting in varied interpretations and uses. The study also highlights generational differences, showing how younger people redefine and incorporate profanity to challenge norms, strengthen social connections, or assert individuality. Additionally, it investigates the decreasing shock value of swear words and their increasing presence in everyday language. By analyzing examples from music, movies, and online platforms, the research illustrates how language adapts to reflect societal and cultural shifts. The findings suggest that the evolving role of profanity reflects broader changes in communication styles, cultural trends, and social values, providing new insights into the continuous development of language.

Abstract

This study explores the dialectic between the basic literacy crisis and the pedagogical challenges faced by pre-service teachers during the Teaching Practicum Program (PPL) in a rural junior high school setting. Utilizing a narrative-reflective approach, the research reveals a profound disconnection between formal curricular demands and the cognitive realities of seventh-grade students experiencing absolute literacy barriers. This phenomenon is not merely a technical failure in reading but a manifestation of the deficit of cultural capital within the domestic sphere, compounded by the dominance of instructional methods that are non-adaptive to student characteristics. The findings indicate that while students face severe textual literacy obstacles, they possess significant agency and holistic potential in kinetic-organizational activities. Interventions through direct practice-based multisensory strategies proved capable of reconstructing student responsiveness and comprehension, while renegotiating the role of novice teachers amidst structural constraints. This study recommends a reorientation of the PPL curriculum to be more sensitive to rural sociological contexts and emphasizes the strengthening of collaboration between educational institutions and the social environment to break the cycle of functional illiteracy in secondary education.
