Abstract

This study, titled “Analysis of Taboo Words in Snoop Dogg's Song Lyrics on the Album B.O.D.R.,” aims to identify both the types and functions of taboo words in Snoop Dogg's lyrics. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method, applying Battistella’s (2005) framework to categorize taboo words into four types: epithets, profanity, vulgarity, and obscenity. To analyze the functions of these taboo words, the study utilizes Wardhaugh’s (2010) theory, which outlines four functions: drawing attention to oneself, expressing contempt, being provocative, and mocking authority.The data collection process involved listening to Snoop Dogg’s songs and noting the taboo words, followed by data analysis using Spradley’s (1980) technique, which includes domain, taxonomic, component, and cultural theme analysis. The researcher themselves served as the main instrument, responsible for gathering and analyzing the data.The study found four types of taboo words in Snoop Dogg's lyrics: 163 instances of epithets, seven of profanity, eight of vulgarity, and fifty nine of obscenity. Epithets were the most common, as they are frequently used and relevant in the context of the lyrics. Regarding the functions of taboo words, the study identified three: 181 instances of drawing attention to oneself, thirty nine of showing contempt, and seventeen of being provocative. The most dominant function was drawing attention to oneself, suggesting that Snoop Dogg used these words primarily to capture attention and convey his anger and frustration.
