Abstract

Language is a dynamic entity that evolves in response to cultural and societal shifts. In the digital age, the emergence of influencers as prominent figures on social media platforms has introduced a new dimension to linguistic evolution. This research delves into the interplay between influencers and the Javanese language, examining linguistic innovations, perceived influence, demographic variations, influencer intentions, and ethical considerations. The findings reveal that influencers wield substantial influence, introducing neologisms, unique communication styles, and shifts in syntax within the Javanese language. They play a pivotal role in shaping cultural norms and values within the Javanese-speaking community. However, linguistic evolution brings about consequences and challenges, including dialectal variations, generational divides, and concerns about authenticity and language preservation. To navigate this linguistic landscape, we propose practical recommendations for linguistic education, responsible language promotion, digital preservation, language policy support, and cross-generational engagement. The coexistence of language preservation and evolution underscores the dynamic nature of the Javanese language and emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts to ensure its enduring vitality in the digital era

Abstract

This research delves into the dynamic world of informal language usage among students on the popular messaging platform, WhatsApp. As digital communication becomes an integral part of daily life, the study examines the frequency, variability, motivations, and social dynamics of slang usage among students. Through surveys, interviews, and, where possible, data analysis of WhatsApp conversations, the research uncovers the complex interplay between language, technology, and human connection in the digital realm. The findings reveal that slang is not merely a linguistic phenomenon but a reflection of the adaptability of language in the digital age. It serves as a linguistic bridge that enables informal communication in digital interactions. The lexicon of slang is diverse and ever-evolving, reflecting the cultural and social context in which it thrives. Motivations for slang usage go beyond humor and informality, extending to self-expression, emotional connection, and the formation of digital identities. Slang enhances social bonds and fosters a sense of belonging among peers, shaping the quality of digital interactions. Demographic variations in slang usage demonstrate its context-dependent nature, influenced by factors such as age, gender, and geographical location. Slang's impact on digital communication is significant, enhancing informal exchanges while presenting challenges, particularly in cross-cultural interactions. This research underscores the importance of digital literacy and cross-cultural understanding in online interactions and has implications for education, linguistic research, and cross-cultural communication. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, this research offers a deeper understanding of the role of language in shaping human connections in the digital age. It calls for ongoing exploration into the ever-changing linguistic dynamics of digital communication and its profound impact on contemporary society.

Abstract

This research delves into the linguistic and historical dimensions of Padang Lawas, a region in North Sumatra, Indonesia, by conducting an in-depth analysis of ancient Malay inscriptions originating from Hindu-Buddhist antiquities. The central objective of the study is to identify traces of Proto-Austronesian, the ancestral language of the Austronesian language family, within these inscriptions and to place them within their broader historical and cultural context. The linguistic analysis begins with the identification of linguistic features, including vocabulary, phonological elements, and syntactical structures, that echo Proto-Austronesian characteristics. By comparing these features with reconstructed Proto-Austronesian and related languages, the research aims to shed light on the linguistic evolution of the Malay language and its historical connections. The historical context is illuminated by examining the inscriptions within the framework of the Hindu-Buddhist period in Padang Lawas. This entails a thorough exploration of religious practices, trade networks, and societal structures that defined the region during this era. Additionally, the inscriptions' references to both Hindu and Buddhist deities reveal the syncretism of beliefs that characterized the cultural landscape. Regional variations in the inscriptions highlight the diversity of cultures and dialects within Padang Lawas, enriching our understanding of linguistic and cultural interactions. Ethical considerations have guided the research, emphasizing the preservation of cultural heritage, responsible research, and collaboration with local communities and authorities. The findings of this research have profound implications. They contribute to the fields of linguistics, history, and archaeology, offering fresh insights into language evolution, historical context, and the interplay of cultures in Southeast Asia. Furthermore, they advocate for the preservation of cultural heritage, responsible research practices, and interdisciplinary collaboration as models for future investigations.
