Swearwords Used by Gangsters in the “Alpha Dog” Movie

Many people assume that swearwords is a rude word and should be avoided. Those words are used to insult, to curse, to offend or to mock at something when the speaker has strong emotion (Hughes, 1991,05). To swear at someone or something is to insult and deprecate the object of abuse, as well as to use other kinds of dysphemism (Allan & Burridge, 2006,76). Apparently some experts and scholars have been able to prove that swearwords also has a purpose and a meaning beside the one as commonly held. Therefore, the writer took the "Alpha Dog" movie as an example of the analyzed cases. Examples have been found by the writer including the categories of epithets derived from tabooed bodily organs, epithets derived from bodily effluvia, epithets derived from sexual behaviours, dysphemistic epithets that pick on real physical characteristics that are treated as though they are abnormalities, imprecations and epithets invoking mental subnormality or derangement. Finally, the writer also managed to find a purpose or a reason for the people to use swearwords in real life

Kajian Hidro-Klimatologi Daerah Cirebon-Indramayu-Majalengka- Kuningan (Ciayu Majakuning)

Case Study of Hidro-Climatology at Cirebon-Indramayu, Majalengka-Kuningan (Ciayu Majakuning). Case Study Water balance calculation has beenconducted in the region of Cirebon, Indramayu, Majalengka and Kuningan or abbreviatednicely as the Ciayu-MajaKuning region. The hidro-climatological component such asevapotranspiration and precipitation were calculated using the NOAH Land-Surface Model(LSM). Model output of monthly data used in the calculation span in the period of 2001-2007.The model has grid box or model resolution of 25 km x 25 km. From the calculation, it is obtainedthat the average of evapotranspiration in this region is 3.1 mm/day or 90 m/month. The maximumvalue of 3.8 mm/day is occurred in May whereas the minimum value of 2.8 mm/day is occurredin December. The highest monthly precipitation occurred in the mountain region (Kuningan)of 450-500 mm/month. In this study area, the period of August-November is the water deficitwhile the period of December-July is the water surplus period in term of water balance. Fromdistrict division point of view, Indramayu is the driest area, and gradually following thetopography height, Kuningan district is the wettest area. Implication of these results to watermanagement aspect is that the dry Area such as Indramayu needs more water supplies byirrigation for agriculture.
