Abstract

This study examines the code-switching and code-mixing strategies of a Javanese-Australian diaspora family, namely the family behind the YouTube channel MyOzlife. Specifically, how code-switching and code-mixing function as a mechanism for maintaining the family's cultural identity in the digital space. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach and, for analysis, employs Miles and Huberman's content analysis, grounded in the theory of social functions, to examine 65 speech events and present interpretive analysis of the code-switching and code-mixing patterns of Javanese-Indonesian families. On the other hand, further findings are in the form of integration with the theory of axiological values. The findings of this study indicate that the linguistic principles used by the family on the MyOzlife channel by 43.1% indicate personalization versus objectivation, so that the main meaning and motive of code-switching are the management of social distance and affective expression rather than referential needs. The findings of this study are in line with the sociolinguistic strategy of the Javanese-Australian MyOzlife family as a manifestation of the cultural axiological values ​​of rukun (social harmony), respect (hierarchy), and silaturahmi (family solidarity), which are manifested in using Javanese registers and religious interjections to transmit the values ​​of politeness norms that their multilingual generation wants to learn. These findings indicate that, in the context of this Javanese-Australian family, multilingual phenomena such as code switching and code-mixing are demonstrated as communicative competence strategies integrated into local and global identities.

Abstract

This study investigates netizen politeness strategies in the Instagram comment section of @kraton_solo (Kraton Kasunanan Surakarta Pakubuwana) from September 2025 to March 2026, a period shaped by the death of Pakubuwana XIII and an ensuing succession conflict. Grounded in a sociopragmatic framework that integrates Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness taxonomy as the primary analytical tool and Leech’s (1983) politeness maxims as a complementary value-orientation framework, this qualitative descriptive study analyzed 44 purposively selected comments to reach theoretical saturation. Findings show that off-record and positive politeness strategies were equally prominent (31.8% each), followed by bald-on-record (20.5%) and negative politeness (15.9%). The prominent use of off-record strategies reflects the Javanese cultural tradition of indirect expression (sasmita and sanepa) operating in digital contexts as acceptable vehicles for critique. Meanwhile, the persistence of krama inggil in positive politeness demonstrates that the Javanese unggah-ungguh register system adapts to, rather than erodes in, digital communication by hybridizing with markers such as emojis. Ultimately, these findings contribute to the development of sociopragmatics by demonstrating how universal frameworks can accommodate digitally mediated Javanese cultural nuances, offering practical insights into netizen communication dynamics on sensitive socio-cultural issues.
