This research focuses on the Sociolinguistic Analysis of Taboo Words in The
Emergency 2022 Movie. The qualitative method used was content analysis. The 
data of this research were taken from the Emergency 2022 movie. The data was 
collected by watching the movie, reading the transcript, identifying the dialog, and 
underlining the dialog that contains taboo words. The data were analyzed using 
Batistella's theory to describe the types of taboo words and Wardhaugh's theory to 
describe the function of taboo words. First, the result there are 143 taboo words 
used by characters with percentages for each type: epithet 16 instances (11.2%), 
profanity 22 instances (15.4%), vulgarity 10 instances (7%), and obscenity 95 
instances (66.4%). The obscenity type is the most frequently used taboo word. 
Second, there are four functions, which can be seen in the movie with the following 
percentages: 23 cases (16.1%) to draw attention, 67 cases (46.8%) to show 
contempt, 51 cases (35.7%) to be provocative, and 2 cases (1.4%) to mock 
authority. The most common function in the Emergency 2022 film seems to be to 
show contempt.}
