<![CDATA[Language change within digital spaces has increasingly been observed on short video platforms such as TikTok. The use of Indonesian is no longer fully aligned with formal structures since it is shaped by fast paced and visually driven interaction. This study was conducted to examine how such transformation takes place through a pragmatic perspective. Data were obtained from TikTok content in 2026 including spoken expressions and supporting text. The analysis was carried out by tracing contextual meaning and communicative function in each interaction.

These results suggest that language transformation is not merely structural but also closely tied to the dynamics of digital communication.]]>
