Abstract :
Pratama, Febi Gilang. 2021. An Analysis of Slang Word Used by Justin Bieber on Instagram. Final Project, English Study Program, Faculty of Language and Arts Education, Universitas PGRI Semarang, Advisor I: Dr. Wiyaka, M.Pd., Advisor II: Entika Fani Prastikawati, S.Pd., M.Pd., Keywords: Sociolinguistics, Slang Word, Instagram. This study aimed to find out the word-formations and the meanings of the slang words used by Justin Bieber on Instagram. This study used a descriptive qualitative method to capture the process of word-formations and the meaning of English Slang used by Justin Bieber on his captions. The writer used the theory of the word?formations? process by Yule (2010) to analyse the data of English slang. The data were obtained through reading, capturing, and understanding the captions posted in a year (from June 2020 ? June 2021). This study revealed that seven types of word?formations? English slang words were used by Justin Bieber in his captions. Those are, (1) Clipping, (2) Blending, (3) Borrowing, (4) Acronym, (5) Derivation, (6) Coinage, and (7) Multiple Processes. Clipping has appeared as the most frequent type of English slang word-formations with 42 data?s frequency (51%). Most of the words used by Justin Bieber are well-known terms. This study indicates that Bieber as a famous singer tended to use clipping types to simplify the words on the captions in every posted video or photo. Bieber aimed to deliver the message in a short simple sentence and a common term so everyone, especially his followers could understand easily his notion
