Abstract

Communication accommodation is a process that is undergone by all new members of a community. The rapid growth of online communities among Generation Z has fostered the emergence of unique linguistic practices, including semantic-shifted slang, which can present challenges for new members to adapt and integrate. This study examines how communication accommodation strategies are employed by members of the OMORI virtual community on Discord, focusing on the use of semantic-shifted slang as a tool for group adaptation. The OMORI community serves as a platform for the players to meet and discuss with other OMORI players. This study attempts to research the OMORI virtual community in Discord, where the group members also often have other smaller groups which help them in their communication accommodation process. Employing a case study qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews, findings reveal that convergence—through observation, imitation, and gradual adoption of slang—is the dominant strategy, with small groups serving as safe spaces for experimentation and learning. Divergence also occurs when slang conflicts with personal identity or self-image. This research contributes to the field of communication studies by deepening the understanding of Communication Accommodation Theory in virtual, interest-based communities, highlighting how slang functions as both a symbolic and practical tool for fostering cohesion, negotiating identity, and strengthening group membership in online spaces.

Abstract

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the creative industry, enabling machines to generate images and videos that can be compiled into narrative short films. This technological shift raises important questions about authorship, control, and meaning-making in digital media. This study aims to investigate how the master-slave dialectic, a philosophical concept describing power dynamics between entities, is portrayed in AI generated science fiction short films. Using qualitative content analysis, 10 AI generated short films were examined to identify how messages related to this dialectic are communicated. The analysis reveals three major categories, vulnerability, alienated, and automation. With vulnerability and automation being most prominently depicted, while alienated appears more subtly. Across these categories, eight subcategories were identified, including two new ones which are acceptance and rebellion, that extend Coeckelbergh’s framework and reflect diverse human responses to technological dominance. These results demonstrate that AI generated films can convey complex socio-technical tensions and function as an emerging form of mass communication, contributing to the discourse on human and technology relations in contemporary media.
