<![CDATA[The rapid development of digital media, particularly Instagram, has facilitated the proliferation of humorous discourse that frequently exploits linguistic ambiguity to produce comedic effects, posing interpretive challenges for students as active social media users. This study investigates the forms of lexical and grammatical ambiguity in humorous discourse on the Instagram accounts Dagelan and Nanangsptra and examines their potential as instructional materials for anecdotal texts in senior high schools.
