Abstract

Dysphemism is a part of communication frequently used among close friends, between strangers, even used by individuals to vent their frustration. People are not aware that the dysphemism word does not always interpret explicitly, the key is as long as the speaker used the words to mock and the hearer finds it offending, no matter how inoffensive the words are it can be called dysphemism, all depends on people interpretation after hearing the words. This study aims to find the types of dysphemism and the purpose of using dysphemism. This research used a descriptive qualitative method and the data taken from the transcriptions and the videos of Gravity Falls tv-series, the researcher involved all characters in the series, as long as their dialogue has dysphemism in it.
