Abstract

This research discusses the use of language registers in online transportation platforms in Medan, especially Grab and Gojek. This research aims to identify the types of registers used and describe their use. Based on data analysis, three types of register were found: formal, consultative, and casual. Casual registers are the most dominant with 50%, followed by formal registers (37.5%) and consultative registers (12.5%). The use of these registers depends on the communication context, ranging from professional to informal, to create effective interactions between users and the platform. This study is expected to provide a theoretical contribution in understanding the dynamics of language registers in digital services as well as providing practical insights for the development of communication on bold platform.

Abstract

This study investigates how Indonesian K-pop fans interact in online discourse utilising politeness techniques and assessment expressions. Data were obtained using a qualitative approach with virtual ethnography, including questionnaires, social media observations, and textual analysis. Politeness Theory (Brown & Levinson, 1987) examines how fans preserve group cohesion and resolve problems, whereas Appraisal Theory (Martin & White, 2005) investigates how emotions, judgements, and evaluations influence fan interactions. The data show that supporters utilise positive politeness to foster unity, negative politeness to diffuse disagreements, and direct or indirect expressions in intense debates. Meanwhile, appraisal analysis reveals that fandom discourse incorporates emotional responses, idol evaluations, and aesthetic enjoyment. These findings demonstrate how K-pop fandom operates as a dynamic linguistic arena, with politeness and assessment tactics influencing digital discourse and cultural identity construction.
