Introduction

Analyse de gros mots dans le film jeux d’enfants de yann samuell. Analyse des gros mots dans le film "Jeux d’Enfants" de Yann Samuell. Explore les formes, référents, fonctions et variations d'usage selon l'âge et le genre des personnages.

Abstract

The study aims to find the forms, referents, functions, then age and gender differences of swearing by the characters in the movie Jeux d'Enfants by Yann Samuell (2003). The data collection method used is the listening method with basic tapping techniques and advanced techniques in the form of free listening techniques and note-taking techniques. The researcher used the commensurate method to analyze the data with the basic technique in the form of the determining element sorting technique with the advanced technique in the form of the comparative linking technique to distinguish. Based on the research results, there are 52 data consisting of 26 nouns, 25 adjectives, and 1 verb. In terms of referents 12 human organs, 8 feces, 4 animals, 6 professions, and 22 mental states. In terms of function, there are 9 expletive functions (self), 20 abusive functions (insults), 2 humorous functions (jokes) and 21 auxiliary (emphasis). In terms of gender, 26 males and 26 females used swear words referring to organs, feces, animals, professions and mental states. In contrast, from age, children, adolescents and adults used swearwords referring to mental states, feces, animals, organs and professions.

Review

This study embarks on an intriguing linguistic analysis, examining the phenomenon of swearing within the dialogue of Yann Samuell's film *Jeux d’Enfants*. The stated aim – to categorize the forms, referents, and functions of expletives, and to investigate age and gender differences in their usage – positions the research as a focused contribution to sociolinguistics and media studies. While the objective is clear and relevant, the methodological description in the abstract, particularly phrases like "listening method with basic tapping techniques" and the "commensurate method with the basic technique in the form of the determining element sorting technique," appears somewhat dense and could benefit from clearer, more standardized terminology for broader academic comprehension. The quantitative results presented are commendably detailed, offering specific breakdowns of the 52 identified swear words. The categorization into 26 nouns, 25 adjectives, and 1 verb provides a clear morphological overview. Similarly, the classification of referents, with "mental states" being the most frequent, and functions, dominated by "abusive" and "auxiliary" uses, offers valuable insights into the pragmatic roles of these words within the film's dialogue. However, the section addressing age and gender differences, a key objective, lacks the comparative nuance one would expect. While it states an equal number of swear words used by males and females (26 each) and lists the categories used by different age groups, it does not explicitly articulate *how* these groups *differed* in their usage patterns, specific referent preferences, or functional applications, thereby leaving the "differences" aspect of the aim largely undemonstrated in the abstract. In conclusion, the research offers a solid foundation for understanding the linguistic landscape of swearing in a specific cinematic context, providing concrete data on the types and roles of expletives. The granularity of the data regarding forms, referents, and functions is a strong point. To strengthen the overall presentation and impact, especially in an abstract, greater precision in the methodological exposition would be advantageous. Furthermore, a more explicit discussion of the identified age and gender *differences* in usage patterns, rather than just their presence, would significantly enhance the study's contribution and clarity. This analysis, while confined to a single film, provides valuable data that could serve as a basis for comparative studies across genres or linguistic contexts.
