Abstract

This study aims to compare the use of swear words in Balinese and Singaporean languages based on the references employed. This study applied a qualitative approach with a document study method, where data were obtained from relevant previous studies. The data were analyzed by classifying swear words into ten reference categories based on the framework of Malo and Adindarena (2021), which includes social conditions, concrete objects, abstract concepts, religion or supernatural beings, sexual organs or activities, body excretions, body parts, animals, actions, and professions. The results show that both languages have similarities in the use of universal references, such as social conditions and abstract concepts, to express negative evaluations and emotions. However, Balinese swear words show a wider variety of references through the presence of religious or supernatural, animals, concrete objects, and professions, which are not found in the Singaporean language. This difference reflects the influence of cultural values and social context on the selection of references in cross-cultural swear words. Also, this study contributes to sociolinguistics and discourse analysis by demonstrating that swear words can be systematically categorized through reference types.

Abstract

The increasing popularity of Korean culture (Hallyu) over time has also influenced the increased exposure of Hallyu, such as Korean dramas, music, films, and language to Hallyu fans, especially fans who are non-native Korean speakers. One of the exposures of Korean language elements is swear words through media and online interactions, so that some fans also use these words, some even use them without knowing their meaning. This study aims to find out Hallyu fans’ perception of the use of Korean swear words and what factors influence them to use these words. This study is a qualitative study. Data collection was carried out by conducting semi-structured interviews using Indonesian with Hallyu fans who have different characteristics, backgrounds, and Korean proficiencies. The results of the interviews were converted into transcripts then translated into English. The collected data were analyzed using the thematic analysis method which has six stages, namely familiarization, generating codes, searching for themes, reviewing themes, defining and naming the themes, and report. The results of the study show that Hallyu fans' perceptions of Korean swear words are relative, depending on the context. The factors that influence the use of swear words are Korean content and the social environment. In addition, this study can help learners avoid misuse and develop more appropriate pragmatic competence in real-life communication.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to compare the references used in swear words in Balinese and Australian. Swear words are linguistically and culturally significant because they reflect social norms, beliefs, and emotional expression within a speech community. This research employed a comparative descriptive qualitative design using primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with native Balinese speakers and native Australian English speakers, while secondary data were collected from relevant studies and academic documents. The data were analyzed through inductive categorization based on reference types in sociolinguistic studies of taboo language. The findings show that both languages share common reference domains, including religion/ supernatural being, sex, excrement, animals, personal background, mental illness, and sexual activity. However, Balinese swear words emphasize animal references, supernatural being, and social hierarchy, whereas Australian English swear words more frequently involve sexual references and personal insults used flexibly in informal contexts. These differences reflect distinct sociocultural values and potential sources of cross-cultural misunderstanding. For the implication of this study is the importance of understanding these similarities and differences for preventing cross-cultural misunderstanding and for promoting effective intercultural communication, particularly between speakers of Balinese and Australian English.
