Abstract

This research discusses about the use of slang in 5 Chris Brown’s 5 songs from the many viewers on YouTube by interpreting its meaning, identifying its form, classifying the types of the slang and its social function. The types of slang are analyzed by using Eric Partridge’s (1954) theory and the meaning of the slang words is given by referring to Oxford dictionary, Urban dictionary, and Dictionary of American slang and Colloquial. The 5 selected songs are ‘No Guidance’, ‘With You’, ‘Freaky Friday’, ‘Ayo’, and ‘Loyal’. The data is collected through observation. The result shows that there are so many words in these selected songs that can be considered as slang. Most of the slangs found in Chris Brown’s 5 selected songs can be categorized as Society Slang if we refer to Partridge theory. The social function of the slang use is mainly emotive feeling if we refer to Yanchun and Yanhong theory.
