| Summary: | ABSTRACT
Slang is commonly heard in high school or college age children, at least in middle school
age. But in this article the researchers examined the slang language that exists in
elementary school age children. The researcher used the observation method for 2
months in class 6 Primary School. He was positioned as a teacher in class 6 Primary
School in MI Al-Jam’iyah Karangtejo, Kedu District, Temanggung Regency, as well as
ordinary days. Class 6 Primary Schools range in Age from 11 to 13 years. This age can
record 50,000 words. Data is obtained from student conversations everyday, both in
learning activities in class or when students play in the school environment. The
language of everyday conversation is the typical Javanese language Temanggung
(Temanggungan language). From the observations made, the researcher gets a number
of words or slang spoken by Class 6 students. Words or languages that appear really
are the languages commonly pronounced like teenagers in general, and still in a
sentence with the typical language of Temanggungan. The choice of words and
conditions is indeed the meaning meant in the language. If studied and can find out the
origin of the word, it might say a little misunderstanding, such as the use of the word
"bro" for all circles both men and women. However, it is different for students of the
same age. Primary school use of the word is commonly used because it does not know
the origin of the word.
Keywords: slang, elementary school age children, children's language development.
