Abstract

The 2024 Indonesian presidential election is anticipated to be highly contested, with the potential for online hostility to escalate into real-world conflict. This study examines the impoliteness strategies used by supporters and haters of presidential candidates on social media, specifically within Instagram comments. Employing a qualitative approach, the study analyzed a sample of comments, revealing a predominance of negative impoliteness (70%), followed by positive impoliteness (46%). Sarcasm and mock impoliteness were observed in 17% of cases, while bald-on-record impoliteness was the least common (11%). Interestingly, no evidence of withhold politeness was found. These findings highlight the prevalence of online aggression in Indonesian election discourse, underscoring the need for strategies to mitigate the negative impacts of online impoliteness and protect national unity.

Abstract

This study examines how university students from rural backgrounds adapt linguistically and culturally after moving to the urban environment of Medan, Indonesia. As these students transition into city-based academic settings, they face the complex task of balancing their cultural roots with the demands of urban life. Guided by Berry’s (2001) Acculturation Theory, this research explores how students navigate issues of identity, language use, and cultural integration. Data were gathered through questionnaires completed by 22 students who had spent at least six semesters studying at a public university in Medan. Through thematic analysis, the study uncovered various adaptation strategies. Most students adopted an integration approach, successfully blending their native language and traditions with urban norms. Some displayed assimilation, especially in formal academic settings, while instances of marginalization were rare. These findings underscore the importance of university policies and support systems that are culturally responsive and inclusive—helping students negotiate their identities and adjust more smoothly to diverse academic environments.
