Abstract

The dynamic of language can be seen from the constant emergence of new vocabulary, which mainly spread among teenagers. Swearing, cursing, and other taboo words are daily among teenagers. Compared to the previous generation, like those born in the 90s, the prominent use of taboo words is now more evident. This study investigated how the benefits of swear terms among high schoolers differ from undergraduate students. Data were collected through direct online interviews via Zoom call. Each participant was asked about the frequently used swear words and their reasons. The data were presented in the qualitative descriptive method. The result showed that high school students use swear words relating to sexuality, animal terms abuse, sexist terms abuse, intellect-based terms abuse, insult, and slur, while college students used the same categories of swear words, except sexist terms abuse. Accordingly, high school students used swear words to show they were mature enough, such as self-expression, humor, social bonding among friends, and a new normal in teenagers’ lives. Meanwhile, college students used swear words as humor, self-expression, and pain relief.

Abstract

This study focuses on online posters about 2024 presidential election of Indonesia. The aim of this study is to analyze online political posters made for the campaigns of the elections. Four online posters of presidential candidates for the 2024 election have been chosen randomly. The visual devices are analyzed using Kress and van Leeuwen’s (2006) model and political discourse analysis is used to determine the primary discursive methods that are utilized in the effort to sway the voting behavior of the American populace in a particular direction. The results show that the posters share some characteristics while distinguishing themselves in other others. These devices are reflection of the respective parties or candidates’ ideologies. Quotation, repetition, uplifting language, and concise phrases are some of the defining characteristics of the written texts that appear on the election posters. The phrases and sentences have been selected as well as the wording for the purpose of making them more effective.
