Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study investigates the rapid process of semantic change (meaning change) within Generation Z's vocabulary, specifically driven by the social environment of the TikTok platform. The research was designed to systematically compare a word’s original, established meaning with its new digital use, addressing a key gap in current studies. Utilizing a purposive sample of public TikTok comments, the research applied a descriptive review, comparing the dictionary meanings of key lexical items (e.g., slay, cap, rizz, glow up) with their contextual usage to categorize the change based on established linguistic mechanisms. The results clearly show that Gen Z vocabulary is changing significantly. The review confirmed four primary categories of change: Broadening (expansion of meaning, e.g., Slay and Glow Up), Narrowing (specialization, e.g., Rizz), Amelioration (positive or lighter shift, e.g., Cap and Clingy), and Metaphorical Extension (shift to figurative use, e.g., Peak). This research concludes that TikTok acts like a powerful engine for language evolution, accelerating the diffusion of these semantic change. This speed is driven by Gen Z's functional need for words that are highly expressive, efficient, and clearly mark their social identity online.

Abstract

This research explores the relationship between semantic significance and pragmatic purpose in courteous speech acts depicted in The Devil Wears Prada. Based on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory, the study seeks to determine the various politeness strategies employed by the characters and to examine how meaning and intention are formed in hierarchical workplace interactions. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the data were gathered from chosen conversations in the film that represent different speech acts. These statements were classified into four strategies of politeness: positive politeness, negative politeness, bald-on-record, and off-record. The results indicate that positive politeness is the strategy most commonly employed, highlighting the significance of preserving social connections and unity among characters. Nonetheless, the employment of negative politeness and bald-on-record tactics emphasizes the significant power dynamics and authority inherent in professional environments. Moreover, off-the-record tactics are used to express criticism or implicit meanings without direct confrontation. The examination reveals that the difference between semantic and pragmatic meaning significantly influences communication, especially in conveying power, navigating relationships, and upholding professionalism. This research enhances the comprehension of how politeness tactics operate in media discussions and mirrors genuine communication behaviors in structured settings.

Abstract

Background. Semantic shifts in political discourse are a phenomenon that is increasingly occurring in modern political communication. Language manipulation is used by political actors and the media to shape public opinion, reframe an issue, and create new meanings that suit certain political interests. This strategy not only has an impact on how the public understands policies, but also on the political dynamics that develop in them. Purpose. This study aims to analyze how semantic shifts are used in political discourse as well as how changes in the meaning of words can affect public perception. The study also examines how politicians and the media utilize linguistic strategies to manipulate political discourse and shape certain narratives on a variety of evolving political issues. Method. This study uses critical discourse analysis and semantic linguistic analysis methods to examine 78 political documents, including politicians' speeches, debate transcripts, media news, and policy documents. The data was analyzed with a thematic approach to identify patterns of semantic shifts that emerged in political communication. Results. The analysis showed that political metaphors were a key tool in semantic shifts, with a percentage of 32% of the total documents analyzed. Framing strategies and diction manipulation are also used to build political narratives that benefit certain actors. Shifts in the meaning of words are often used to lead public opinion without them realizing it, thus creating a bias in the understanding of political issues. Conclusion. Semantic shifts are not just linguistic changes, but are political communication strategies that have a wide impact on public opinion and political policy. Awareness of this phenomenon can help the public be more critical in understanding the developing political discourse. This research contributes to deepening the understanding of how language is used as a tool of power in politics and how political literacy can be developed to deal with semantic manipulation in political communication.

Abstract

This study investigates semantic shifts in twenty Indonesian slang expressions used by Generation Z on X. Using Andreas Blank’s motivational theory, qualitative analysis reveals that cognitive association (28%) and expressivity (24%) are the primary drivers of meaning change. The findings demonstrate that slang development is a systematic response to communicative needs, providing a foundation for understanding linguistic evolution and social behavior in digital environments.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the various types of illocutionary speech acts present in comments on the Instagram account @skintificid, focusing on identifying which type is most frequently employed by users in reaction to promotional content. A qualitative descriptive method is utilized, aided by basic quantitative analysis to determine the occurrence and percentage of each illocutionary act. Data were gathered from five posts made on Instagram on March 10, 12, 14, 16, and 17, 2026, including 50 selected comments. The analysis follows Searle’s (1979) framework for categorizing illocutionary acts, which includes assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declaratives. The results indicate that all five categories of illocutionary acts are present, with assertive acts being the most prevalent at 44%, followed by commissives at 26% and expressives at 24%. In contrast, directives account for 4% and declaratives for 2%, appearing less often. These results imply that users on Instagram primarily engage in evaluative, emotional, and intention-driven communication when interacting with promotional content. Additionally, the illocutionary acts signify the interactions between customers and brands, with assertives serving as electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM), expressives demonstrating emotional involvement, and commissives reflecting an intention to purchase. Overall, this research highlights the significant impact that comment sections on Instagram have in shaping brand image and influencing prospective consumers within the realm of digital marketing.
