Abstract

This study aimed to describe the similarities and differences of Balinese and Mandarin swear words in the terms of forms, functions, and references. This research employed descriptive qualitative design which compares Mandarin and Balinese swear words by utilizing a comparative analysis approach. The primary data were collected through semi structured interview with Balinese and Chinese native speakers living in Bali. The secondary data were collected through in-depth document analysis. The identified data were analyzed descriptively. The findings show that Balinese and Mandarin swear words share both similarities in terms of their forms, functions, and references. In both languages, swear words appear as words, phrases, and clauses. Both languages also share similar functions to express emotions, abusive purpose, humorous, emphasis, and group or social identity. Both Balinese and Mandarin share six common references, such as: sexual terms, excrements, animal names, personal background, mental illness, and religious terms. However, the differences were found as follows: Balinese swear words are mainly formed through affixation, while Mandarin swear words are mainly formed through compounding processes. Balinese swear words more frequently refer to sexual terms, excrements, animal names, and religious terms, while Mandarin swear words tend to emphasize personal background and mental illness.
