Abstract

This research aims to explicitly describe the language used by netizens on social media platforms X and Instagram in posts about demonstrations in Indonesia, and to identify and analyze the social factors influencing these language choices. The primary objective is to compare netizen responses—specifically focusing on their linguistic characteristics—on X and Instagram, and to assess how social media platform characteristics and user objectives contribute to these differences. The research method used is documentation with data analysis techniques. The data and sources used in this study are comments on demonstrations in Indonesia that include specific words or phrases. The results of this study indicate differences in the language used by netizens on social media X and Instagram, including: 1) language use on social media X tends to be highly sarcastic and sharp, using swear words, profanity, and even expletives; 2) language use on Instagram shows two polarizations, namely indirect and direct language use; and 3) there are social factors that influence the differences in netizen responses, such as differences in social media characteristics, netizen objectives, and the presence of social media as a forum for freedom of expression. This study specifically for research on language use in virtual spaces as it reflects the diverse and complex expressions of social media users, particularly regarding linguistic phenomena in society and contributes to sociolinguistic research.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the form and function of expressive speech used by the public in responding to protest news discourse on Instagram (@bbcindonesia). This research is a qualitative descriptive research. The data source is from the Instagram comment column of @bbcindonesia, related to the news of the labor protest on August 28, 2025, in Jakarta. It found 30 samples of data taken from screenshots in the Instagram comment column @bbcindonesia. This study employs a theoretical approach based on pragmatic theory, specifically examining the function of speech actions. The study's results identified seven forms of expressive speech used by the community in responding to labor protest news discourse, namely expressive forms of sadness, concern, disappointment, swearing, enthusiasm, appreciation, and prayer and hope. Furthermore, in this study, expressive speech serves two primary functions: demonstrating solidarity and expressing the community's partiality. The results of the study show that the form of expressive speech aligns with its function as a means of solidarity and support, revealing a position of partisanship. Based on the results of this research, social media users tend to align with the community or the people themselves. This research is expected to enhance readers' knowledge, particularly in the pragmatic field related to the role of speech actions in the digital realm and their impact on the dynamics of people's language, especially in addressing social issues prevalent in Indonesia.Â
