Abstract

This study investigated blending as a word-formation process in Sundanese TikTok content to examine how morphological creativity reflects local identity, humor, and digital sociolinguistic practices. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, and data were collected from two Sundanese TikTok accounts and analyzed using Kemmer’s (2003) typology. 14 blended forms were identified, most of which were constructed through clipping and recombination of root words. The findings indicate that blending functions not only as a strategy for lexical economy but also as a medium for cultural expression, social commentary, and identity construction. In comparison with previous studies on English and Indonesian blending, the results demonstrate that Sundanese blends exhibit localized innovation within a global digital environment. It is concluded that blending represents a productive and expressive morphological strategy that contributes to the vitality of regional languages in online communication. Further research is recommended to examine blending practices across wider platforms and linguistic communities

Abstract

Despite the growing use of internet memes in political discourse on social media, the pragmatic mechanisms through which they construct implicit meaning remain insufficiently explored, particularly in the context of presupposition. While existing studies have examined memes as forms of digital culture, rhetoric, or discourse, limited attention has been given to how presupposition functions as a strategy for embedding ideological assumptions in political memes. This study aims to examine the use of presupposition in Indonesian political memes and to analyze how these presuppositions function as pragmatic strategies for conveying implicit political critique in digital discourse. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method to analyze six political memes collected from Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp through purposive sampling based on their political relevance and multimodal characteristics. Data were collected using a documentary method and analyzed using Yules (1996) presupposition typology, Yuss (2011) cyber-pragmatic framework, and Faircloughs (2013) discourse perspective. The findings reveal that existential, lexical, structural, and counterfactual presuppositions are used to encode implicit assumptions about political actors, institutions, and events. These presuppositions rely on shared background knowledge, enabling meme creators to express satire and ideological critique indirectly. The study concludes that presupposition functions as an important pragmatic mechanism that allows political memes to communicate criticism and ideological positioning within Indonesias digital public sphere. This study contributes to the field of digital pragmatics by highlighting presupposition as a key analytical lens for understanding how implicit meaning and ideology are constructed in multimodal political communication on social media.

Abstract

This study explores how ambiguity functions in the Javanese dialogue of the Yo Wis Ben film series, focusing on its lexical and structural forms and their comparative interpretation in English. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach and content analysis, eight scenes were analyzed using Lyons’ (1977) framework of ambiguity. The findings show that lexical ambiguity, where a word carries multiple unrelated meanings, appears more frequently than structural ambiguity, which arises from flexible syntactic constructions. Expressions such as singo, yo wis ben, pedhot, and legi illustrate how Javanese speakers use ambiguity to produce humor and manage social relations. Theoretically, the study extends pragmatic and cross-linguistic perspectives by demonstrating that ambiguity in Javanese is not linguistic confusion but a deliberate communicative strategy reflecting high-context interaction. Practically, it offers insights for translation, intercultural communication, and media discourse analysis, emphasizing how local-language films employ ambiguity to convey cultural identity, humor, and interpersonal nuance in multilingual contexts.
