An Analysis of slang used by the characters in Clueless movie based on sex differences

Conversations are important in our daily lives. There are conversations
that happen in formal situation and also informal situation. Slang involvement in a
conversation is one mark that the conversation happens in informal situation.
Therefore, slang often occurs in casual conversations. We can find slang mostly in
teenagers? daily conversations. As we know that slang is the highly used language
of the youth. The problems may come from sex differences. Many statements and
theories claim that men and women have differences in conversation. It is being
claimed that slang often created and used the slang. Therefore, the writer follows
some step in order to get the answer of the statement of the problems. First of all,
the writer gets the source of data, Clueless Movie transcript and segmenting the
conversation into fragments which each of them contains one topic. This way
makes the writer observe the slang words or phrases easier. Then the writer
identifies the slang words or phrases in the script which are used by both male and
female. The writer also interprets those slangs? meanings and then makes a
comparison between slangs which are produced by male and female. Both male
and female have a high frequency in using slang. Another finding is that male and
female have the same purpose in using this language. They tend to use slang to
look different and also increase their intimacy and solidarity.
