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 belief values embedded in the Batu Umang folklore of Durin Tani Village, located in the Sibolangit District of Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Through a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach, the study uncovers the intricate web of cultural, social, and historical factors that have shaped these belief values, shedding light on their origins, evolution, and contemporary significance. The cultural context of the Batak people in Durin Tani Village plays a central role in the development of these belief values, with a deep reverence for nature and a harmonious relationship with the environment at its core. Social dynamics, including close-knit community bonds and shared values of unity and collective responsibility, have reinforced these belief values, fostering a sense of community cohesion. The historical backdrop of Dutch colonialism, trade, and migration has left an indelible mark on the folklore, imbuing it with stories of resilience and adaptability in the face of historical challenges. This research contributes significantly to the fields of folklore and cultural anthropology, highlighting the preservation of cultural heritage, community cohesion, and the adaptability of cultural traditions. It also underscores the universal nature of storytelling and belief systems, providing insights into the interconnectedness of culture, society, and history in shaping the belief values of a unique community. Ultimately, this study celebrates the enduring spirit of Durin Tani Village and its timeless cultural heritage, offering a deeper understanding of how local narratives can provide insights into the universal human experience.
