Abstract
This research is about slangs used by contestants in RuPaul Drag Race (RPDR) shows. The objectives are to identify the formal construction of the slang and the meaning of the slang. It is also to determine the sociological properties of the slangs and the possible influence of the competitors' racial background towards the classification of slang they use. Data for this research are collected by employing a non-participant observation method. The data are gathered by observing the conversations among 6 contestants in three episodes of RuPaul Drag Race season 9. The construction of the slang is determined by referring to Yule's (2006) word-formation types while their meaning is determined by looking up the English Dictionary and some dictionaries of American slangs. The sociological properties of slangs are identified by referring to Mattiello's (2008) classification while the possible influence of race of the contestants towards the classification slang used is described by referring to Filmer's (2003). Eight-nine slangs are encountered in the conversations. The construction of the slangs varies but etymology is the most dominant form. The sociological properties of the slangs are also varied; informality is the most dominant one. The research also reveals that White competitors use more slang than Black ones do.
