Abstract

The research which entitled “An Analysis of Jargon Used in Speech Community in Online Game Dota 2” focuses on analysis types of word-formation and functions of jargon. This research used qualitative research and applied total sampling technique in which all jargons (22 jargons) found in Dota 2 were analyzed. The data is all jargons taken in conversation produced by players of Dota 2 in October, 2016 (SEA server). To collect the data, I observed fourteen games for two weeks and downloaded them. To answer the research questions, I used Yule‟s theory of wordformation and Holmes‟ theory of two functional scales completed by Halliday‟s theory of context analysis. The result of this research shows that there are 5 of 10 types of word-formation; borrowing (4 jargons), clipping (6 jargons), acronym (9 jargons), backformation (1 jargon) and derivation (1 jargon). One jargon is classified into numeronym which is out of Yule‟s classification. There are 14 jargons belong to referential function (64%) while 8 jargons belong to affective function (36%). Acronym was the most common type that formed jargon in Dota 2 while most jargons (64%) were categorized into referential function. The possible further research can be conducted by analyzing jargons in other servers; such as India, Japan, Australia, US West, US East, South Africa, Russia, Europe East, Europe West or South America.
