Abstract

This study applied the Speech Act Theory by Austin and Searle to analyze verbal cyberbullying on TikTok comments toward Rachel Zegler, who took a role as Snow White and classified it into several categories and subcategories of illocutionary acts. This study utilised a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze linguistic forms of verbal cyberbullying in the data. The data collected through documentation and observation of several contents related to Rachel Zegler. The analysis result shows that the domination of expressive (insulting) acts occurred in the verbal cyberbullying data collected, with a total of 25 utterances (50%). Assertive (stating) acts became the second most dominant with a total of 7 utterances (14%), followed by assertive (asserting) with 4 utterances (8%), assertive (complaining) with 3 utterances (6%) and assertive (criticizing) with 2 utterances (4%). While the least dominant acts were assertive (predicting) and (comparing), directive (requesting/demanding) and commissive (committing), with each having a single utterance (2%). This study reveals that most people used expressive (insulting) acts in doing flaming as a form of verbal cyberbullying on TikTok. This research contributes to raising awareness among digital media users about the importance of the use of appropriate language in fostering constructive criticism and promoting healthier online interactions.

Abstract

This study investigates the phenomenon of code-switching in sad post captions on TikTok, focusing on its types, contexts, and communicative functions. Although code switching on digital platforms has been widely studied, the switching context remains underexplored. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with content analysis, this study examines 29 sad-related TikTok captions collected between 2022 and 2025. The analysis is guided by Muysken’s typology, Blom and Gumperz’s contextual categorization, and the functional frameworks of Gumperz and Wardhaugh. The findings show that alternation is the most frequent type of code-switching, indicating frequent shifts between Indonesian and English across clauses. Contextually, metaphorical switching predominates, suggesting that code switching is strongly driven by emotional emphasis. Functionally, message qualification and affective expression dominate, indicating that code switching primarily serves to intensify emotional meaning rather than to convey informational content. This study contributes to sociolinguistics, highlighting how Indonesian bilingual users perform code-switching on TikTok as a strategic medium for emotional expression, identity performance, and digital self-representation.
