slang words is taking an important part in informal communication. Many people
especially teenagers like using slang words in their casual tail; because they find it
more comfortable to speak in such a way. Moreover, all slang words go through
the processes of word-formation such as ortu (parents) that undergoes the process
of Blending in which ortu is blended from the words o r ang and tua. In Gadis
teenage magazine articles, the writer notices that Word-formation Processes play a
crucial role in forming slang words. Therefore, the writer is interested in
investigating this magazine because this magazine uses slang words that can be
observed particularly about the Word-formation Processes of slang words that
occur in Gadis' articles. In her study, the writer wants to find out all slang words
that are found in those twenty-eight articles of Gadis magazine which are derived
from two rubrics of Gadis magazine, namely Gaul Gadis (Gadis trendy) and Gosip
Gadis (Gadis gossip). She also wants to find out to which Word-formation
Processes those slang words belong and which Word-formation Process that occurs
frequently in those twenty-eight articles of Gadis magazine. Here, the writer
concludes that there are 28 slang words that are found in Gadis magazine articles
and the most frequent Word-formation Process that occurs in all articles is
Borrowing with 8 slang words (29%). Coinage produces 7 slang words (25%),
Blending is simply 6 slang words (21%), Clipping produces two slang words (7%),
Acronyms are only 2 slang words (7%) and 3 slang words belong to the Multiple
Processes (11%).
Finally, the writer hopes that this thesis could be useful for the readers in
knowing about slang words and their word-formation processes, and the linguistic
students particularly.
