Abstract

The rise of social media has influenced the use of Indonesian, particularly through the emergence of new vocabulary among the younger generation. This study aims to identify word-formation processes—specifically acronyms, blending, and clipping—in contemporary Indonesian used on social media and to describe their impact on the language's evolution in the digital era. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the study draws data from posts, captions, and comments on TikTok and Instagram between January and May 2026. Data were collected using "listen-and-note" techniques and subsequently analyzed through stages of reduction, classification, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The results reveal 15 terms formed through these processes: acronyms (mager, gabut, fomo, POV), blends (salting, healing, bestie, red flag, green flag), and clippings (relate, halu, spill, delulu, core). Additionally, a semantic shift was observed in the word *aura* within the context of digital communication. These findings demonstrate that social media serves as a productive space for linguistic creativity while accelerating changes in Indonesian vocabulary. The study underscores that contemporary Indonesian represents an adaptation to technological advancements and digital culture, characterized by innovations in both form and meaning.

Abstract

Ama Samawa is a traditional proverb of the Samawa community that embodies cultural values, life experiences, and worldviews passed down through generations. Most Ama Samawa expressions are constructed through metaphorical language that draws upon natural elements, social activities, and everyday experiences as vehicles for meaning-making. This study aims to describe how meaning is constructed through conceptual metaphors in Ama Samawa and to reveal the worldview of the Samawa people as represented in these expressions. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach based on the Conceptual Metaphor Theory proposed by Lakoff and Johnson. The data consisted of 42 Ama Samawa proverbs collected through documentation, literature review, and interviews with cultural informants. Data analysis involved identifying metaphors, determining source and target domains, conducting conceptual mapping, and interpreting culturally. The findings reveal five dominant conceptual metaphors underlying meaning construction in Ama Samawa: (1) life is a journey and ascent, (2) power is height, (3) morality is balance, (4) humans are mirrors for one another, and (5) sustenance is a predetermined share. These findings indicate that the Samawa people understand abstract concepts through concrete experiences derived from their natural environment, economic activities, and social relationships. Therefore, Ama Samawa functions not merely as traditional proverbs but also as representations of the conceptual system and worldview of the Samawa community. This study contributes to the development of cognitive linguistic research grounded in local culture and supports efforts to preserve the cultural heritage of the Samawa people

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze students’ needs for the development of Canva-assisted interactive teaching materials on writing procedure texts, integrated with the local wisdom of Banyumas Regency. The study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The participants consisted of 71 seventh-grade junior high school students. Data were collected through a needs-analysis questionnaire consisting of 10 statements, measured on a 4-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, and mean scores. The findings revealed that students had a strong need for Canva-assisted interactive teaching materials. The highest percentage was found in the learning preference indicator (85.04%), followed by the need for the integration of local wisdom (80.28%), the need for digital teaching materials (80.16%), contextual learning (79.93%), and learning experience and difficulties (74.30%). These findings indicate that students require visually engaging teaching materials that are easily accessible through digital devices and integrate the local wisdom of Banyumas Regency into the teaching of procedure text writing. The results of this needs analysis provide an empirical basis for developing Canva-assisted interactive teaching materials that are aligned with students’ learning characteristics and needs
