The author uses the theory of Andersson and Trudgill (in Lindahl, 2008:4). To analyze the types of swear words, the types are divided into four types: (1) Expletive, (2) Abusive, (3) Humorous, and (4) Auxiliary. The method used in this study is qualitative which was put forward by Parahoo (1997:59).

For the data of function, there are 27 data classified as the Stand-Alone and 23 data for Slot Filler function. Keywords : Sociolinguistics, Swear Words, Type & function, Scarface movie.
