Abstract

This study investigates the semantic functions of emojis in computer-mediated communication (CMC) across platforms such as WhatsApp, Twitter, and Instagram. Drawing on a library research method supported by selected conversation samples and relevant scholarly literature, the research explores how emojis contribute to meaning-making in digital interactions. Findings reveal that emojis perform diverse semantic roles, including emotional amplification, lexical substitution, tone modulation, and social signaling. Rather than merely decorative, emojis function as context-sensitive linguistic elements that enhance or replace textual meaning. However, their interpretation is shaped by various factors such as platform norms, interpersonal relationships, and cultural background, often resulting in ambiguity or miscommunication. The study concludes that emojis are dynamic, pragmatic tools in digital discourse that reflect the ongoing evolution of language in online environments. Their strategic use highlights the importance of multimodal literacy in contemporary communication.

Abstract

This study investigates the representation of Generation Z (Gen Z) slang in online news discourse by analyzing a Kompas.com article entitled “Bahasa Gaul Gen Z Kian Marak, Begini Kata Peneliti Bahasa” published on November 8, 2024. The research aims to reveal how Gen Z slang is constructed as a social phenomenon and how ideological meanings are embedded through media language. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method under a critical paradigm, using Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework: textual analysis (micro level), discursive practice (meso level), and socio-cultural practice (macro level). The findings show that the article frames Gen Z slang as an increasingly widespread trend through evaluative lexical choices such as “kian marak” and the inclusion of popular terms like FOMO, YOLO, JOMO, healing, and ghosting. At the discursive practice level, Kompas.com legitimizes the phenomenon by combining Gen Z voices with expert commentary, creating a hierarchy of authority in which academic interpretation becomes dominant. At the socio-cultural level, the discourse reflects broader contexts of digital culture, globalization, and generational identity, while also revealing an ideological tension between viewing slang as linguistic creativity and treating it as an influence-driven trend that may challenge standard language norms. Overall, the study confirms that online news media plays an active role in shaping public perceptions of youth language, constructing Gen Z slang not only as a linguistic variation but also as a cultural marker tied to identity and power relations in contemporary Indonesian society
