Abstract

This study investigates semantic shifts in twenty Indonesian slang expressions used by Generation Z on X. Using Andreas Blank’s motivational theory, qualitative analysis reveals that cognitive association (28%) and expressivity (24%) are the primary drivers of meaning change. The findings demonstrate that slang development is a systematic response to communicative needs, providing a foundation for understanding linguistic evolution and social behavior in digital environments.
