Introduction

Definition of Language

Language is a communication tool that must be owned by people who do social

relationships with others. With language, everything we want to express can be
delivered properly. Language itself is a unifying tool of the nation. This tool can be
used to facilitate us in communication with each other, each of which has a different
culture. In life we must communicate to continue to maintain communication
because communication is the basic or the first step in human socializing to be
alive.

According to Smarapradhipa (2005) there are two language understanding. The first
notion is language is state means of communication between members of public in
the form of a symbol of sound produces means of what human say. Second,
language is a communication system that uses symbol of vocal (speech sound)
which are arbitrary.

Definition of slang

Slang is a variety of unofficial language and not yet a seasonal standard. Usually
used by certain social groups to communicate internally so that non-member of the
group would not understand. Slang is created from the change of linguistic message
form without changing its content for concealment or humour. Choer (2004) said
that a slang is a special and secret social variation.

Slang is very informal usage in vocabulary and idiom that is characteristically more
metaphorical, playful, elliptical, and vivid than ordinary language.

Slang is the use of informal words and expressions that are not considered standard
in the speaker’s language or dialect but are considered acceptable may act as
euphemisms and may be used as a means of identifying with one’s peers. Cited
