The result shows that from seven categories of taboo words which are classified as swear words proposed by Andersson, five types occurred; sexual organs – sexual relations, religion-church, excrement, the physically or mentally disabled, and prostitution. The result also shows that from six reasons of taboo words proposed by Wardhaugh, three reasons caused the student in using swear words.
