“…Selain membahas mengenai faktor ekternal, dalam penelitian tersebut dibahas mengenai alasan penggunaan slang yang "kasar", yaitu untuk memuji, kedekatan seperti pet name, mengungkapkan kekaguman, ungkapan rindu, dan lain sebagainya (Lindberg-Seyersted 1997). Dari penelitian lainnya juga disebutkan bahwa penggunaan ragam informal memiliki fungsi seperti menunjukan identitas, interaksi, kerahasiaan, emosi, humor, informalitas, dan keringkasan percakapan (Arfani dan Rusfitasari 2019).
