This study aims to analyze variations in the use of Joko Widodo's name in political meme comments on TikTok and identify forms of naming that have the potential to contain elements of insult, slander, and curses through corpus linguistics and forensic linguistics approaches. The research data consists of TikTok user comments containing variations in the name of Joko Widodo in political meme uploads. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques in the form of observing and taking notes. The data were analyzed using a corpus linguistics approach to identify the frequency, distribution, and context of the appearance of naming variations, then interpreted through forensic linguistics and expressive illocutionary speech acts. The results show that there are 12 variations in the name of Joko Widodo with a total of 683 occurrences. The most dominant variation is "Jokowi" (180 data), followed by "Pria Solo" (149 data), "Owi" (110 data), and "Mulyono" (75 data). In addition, other forms of naming were found originating from nicknames, puns, and digital meme culture. Forensic linguistic analysis reveals utterances containing illocutions of insult, slander, and insults through the use of negative labels, accusations, and profanity. These findings demonstrate that naming variations in TikTok comments serve not only as identity markers but also as a means of expressing attitudes, criticism, emotions, and constructing images of political figures in the digital communication space.
