Abstract

This study examines fan engagement through multilingual code practices in SEVENTEEN’s official X posts within digital fandom spaces. Using Social Presence Theory (Short et al., 1976), this study analyzes eight official posts uploaded on SEVENTEEN’s X account (@pledis_17) and 400 fan comments collected from the corresponding comment sections through a qualitative descriptive approach. The findings reveal that SEVENTEEN’s official posts predominantly employ immediacy as the primary engagement strategy, while intimacy emerges as the most dominant form of fan engagement in the comment sections. In terms of language use, English is the dominant language in fan responses, followed by mixed-language and other-language comments, indicating active multilingual participation among global fans. These findings suggest that multilingual code practices not only facilitate information dissemination but also encourage emotional interaction and audience participation. Overall, multilingual communication functions not only as a strategic communication practice but also as a mechanism for fostering fan engagement and strengthening digital fandom communities.

Abstract

This paper examines how an Indonesian live-streamer and his audiences create a hybrid communal identity by using vulgar language and code-mixing with reference to the popular YouTube livestream @deandeankt. With the digital medium transforming the world into a global village, the streaming culture in Indonesia provides a distinct perspective into how localized linguistic practices interact with global trends in the internet. The interpretivist-constructivist paradigm applied in the current case study research was aimed at understanding the way language and interaction produced hybrid identities. It gathered linguistic and paralinguistic data of @deadndeakt’s livestream for 90 minutes with netnography and thematic analyses. According to the study, abusive swearing (e.g., "kontol [dick]", "goblok [stupid]") represents 89.3 percent of the vulgar language and serves as playful insults, which enhance group cohesion. Emphatic swearing ("Anjing! Gua kalah! [Bitch! I lost!]") and cathartic swearing (“Ngentot, mic-nya rusak! [Fuck, the microphone is broken!]”) increase the emotional involvement. Intra-sentential blends, especially code-mixing (“Brightness-nya kita bikin tiga kali [We increase the brightness threefold]”), prevails in 85 percent. Other examples combine English gaming slang (template, unarchive) with Indonesian structure and local dialects, like a Javanese swear word (“Cok [Damn]”). Pronunciations, such as BTW [read in Indonesian: be te we] are even more localized global terms. It is analyzed that the vulgar language usage assists in persona creation and building of relationships with the audience, creating a tight-knit, exclusive community in which such language represents belonging and emotional release, despite its offensiveness in the larger society. Moreover, streamers combine Indonesian and English with gaming jargon to successfully appeal to their bilingual audience, so that they could be technically accurate and still fit into the global gaming cultures. These activities form a hybrid identity, where speakers possess a strong sense of Indonesian culture but are consistent with international trends, which strengthens group exclusivity. The results draw attention to live-streaming as a contact zone in which language negotiates belonging, which disrupts strict cultural boundaries. The study highlights the sociolinguistic innovativeness of online communities and recommends future research on offline effects of these online linguistic norms and the effects of the hybrid identities and communicative practices used in live-streaming communities on daily language, social interaction, and identity formation in the real world. The authors also suggest cross-cultural comparative research to find out whether the phenomena are specific to the Indonesian situation or have they become a global trend.

Abstract

Sports commentary is a form of spontaneous discourse in which commentators narrate game events while evaluating and interpreting actions in real time. Despite the growing interest in sports discourse, studies on the stylistic register of National Basketball Association (NBA) commentary remain limited. This study aims to identify the types of stylistic registers used by Kevin Harlan and Mike Breen and to analyze their communicative functions in NBA live broadcasts. This research employed a descriptive qualitative design with a comparative approach. The data consisted of 30 utterances (15 from each commentator) collected from authentic NBA broadcast clips uploaded on the 23firey YouTube channel. The data were analyzed using Martin Joos' (1962) Stylistic Register Theory and Judy Delin's (2000) communicative functions framework, following the interactive analysis model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2018). The findings reveal three stylistic registers: Frozen, Formal, and Casual. Casual Register was dominant in Kevin Harlan's commentary, while Formal Register predominated in Mike Breen's. Frozen Register appeared only in Mike Breen's signature expression, Bang!. The communicative functions identified were Narrating, Evaluating, Elaborating, and Summarizing. Overall, the study demonstrates that stylistic register variation reflects both the communicative demands of live NBA broadcasting and the commentators' individual broadcasting styles.
