Abstract

Malay proverbs constitute an important part of oral cultural heritage that not only preserves the collective experiences of society but also functions as a medium for transmitting life values across generations. One proverb that remains widely used in daily communication is the apple does not fall far from the tree (buah jatuh tidak jauh dari pohonnya). This expression is commonly employed to describe similarities between children and their parents in terms of behavior, habits, and character. Beyond its simple usage, however, the proverb reflects the Malay cultural perspective that positions the family as the primary environment for shaping individual identity and character. This study examines the meaning of the proverb buah jatuh tidak jauh dari pohonnya through an inquisitive semantics approach by exploring its lexical, grammatical, contextual, cultural, and inquisitive meanings. The study applies a qualitative descriptive method using literature review and textual analysis. The research data consist of the linguistic unit of the selected Malay proverb, which is analyzed in relation to its cultural context and family education values. The findings reveal that the proverb does not merely express intergenerational resemblance but also contains essential family educational values, including role modeling, parental responsibility, value transmission, self-awareness, and hope for future generations. These findings indicate that Malay proverbs remain relevant as a form of local wisdom that can contribute to strengthening character education within the family context.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of insulting and ridiculing utterances expressed by Indonesian netizens in the comment section of the TikTok account @golkar.indonesia, particularly those directed at public figure Bahlil Lahadalia. This phenomenon reflects a shift in the communication style of the young generation in digital spaces, where slang, sarcasm, and humor are used as means of social expression and political criticism. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a sociopragmatic approach, combining social and pragmatic perspectives in analyzing language use. The data were collected through documentation of user comments on TikTok videos featuring Bahlil Lahadalia and were analyzed based on their forms, functions, and social meanings. The results show that insulting and ridiculing utterances are not merely violations of language etiquette but also serve as symbolic resistance toward power and as a form of non-formal political participation. Netizens use linguistic strategies such as irony, sarcastic humor, and rhetorical questioning to express criticism indirectly yet sharply. The utterances found include basic words, phrases, clauses, and wordplay characterized by informal, youthful slang typical of social media interaction. From a sociopragmatic perspective, this phenomenon indicates a shift in politeness norms, where negative expressions are disguised in humor to remain socially acceptable. Therefore, TikTok has become a new arena of digital political communication, where language functions not only as a tool of interaction but also as a medium of criticism, identity, and social expression among youth.
