Abstract

This research aims to describe the potential of words as swear words through an ethnosemantic study. This research differs from other swearing studies examining the form and meaning of swear words. This study presents the potential of words to become swearwords. This research uses a phenomenological approach. Swear words are expressive words of emotion that are easily found both in oral or written form, directly or on social media. Swear words are documented directly and indirectly. Swear words are analyzed using conceptual meaning analysis. Through an ethnosemantic study, two potentials exist for words to become swear words. First, conceptual meaning is added due to the speakers' ideas, thoughts, knowledge, and culture. Second, there is a loss of conceptual meaning in the form of functional components in the lexical meaning of a word.Implications of this research include a better understanding of how language adapts to social and cultural dynamics, aiding linguistic and anthropological studies. Socially and educationally, the results of this research can support the creation of programs that teach more ethical language use among the younger generation. This research is also useful for public policy, helping policy makers in drafting regulations regarding speech on social media that are more sensitive to cultural context. In addition, this research can support the psychological context in therapy and counseling by providing insight into the use of language in interpersonal relationships
