Abstract

Indonesia’s linguistic and cultural diversity is seriously threatened due to globalization, technological acceleration, and the declining intergenerational transmission of local languages. This study explores the strategic role of digital transformation in preserving local language, literature, and culture within the framework of Society 5.0. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the paper analyzes various digital initiatives—such as educational websites, mobile applications, and multimedia content—as tools for revitalization and dissemination. Results show that digital platforms support documentation and access and strengthen literacy, 21st-century competencies (5C), and cultural identity among younger generations. Furthermore, the research highlights the importance of multisector collaboration and community-based sustainability models to overcome challenges such as limited digital infrastructure, lack of linguistic documentation, and human resource constraints. Digitalization thus emerges not merely as a technological adaptation, but as a transformative movement for cultural resilience, innovation, and global relevance. The findings offer a framework for integrating local heritage into the future digital ecosystem.

Abstract

Literacy is not only about reading and writing skills, but also includes the ability to understand and use information critically, so that a culture of reading literacy is critical in developing children's knowledge and insight. However, literacy conditions in Indonesia are still low. Therefore, the family environment plays a vital role as the primary foundation in fostering a culture of reading literacy in elementary school children through role models, support, and provision of facilities that support reading activities at home. The study aimed to identify the most influential family factors in building a literacy culture and formulate practical strategies that parents can apply to create a home environment conducive to developing elementary school children's literacy. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. Data was collected through documentation studies of relevant literature to build a conceptual framework and an in-depth understanding of the topic. Data analysis was carried out through three main stages: data reduction, data presentation, and drawing and verifying conclusions. The study results showed that the family environment plays a vital role in fostering a culture of reading literacy in elementary school children through role models, emotional support, and adequate reading facilities. The active involvement of parents in children's literacy activities has been shown to increase interest in and improve reading habits from an early age.

Abstract

Code-switching is increasingly prevalent in digital communication, particularly on popular platforms such as Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, and Twitter. This trend reflects a shift in communication practices within increasingly multilingual and global digital spaces. This study examines code-switching in digital communication and the factors influencing this phenomenon, including social context, audience, and the types of platforms used. This research analyses various journals, articles, and previous studies on code-switching in digital contexts using a qualitative approach and a literature review method. The results show that code-switching is influenced by social and psychological factors, with speakers often switching languages to adapt to their audience or to express cultural identity. Other findings indicate that code-switching is a communication strategy that enriches digital interaction and strengthens user social ties. Additionally, local languages are more dominant on private platforms, while English is more frequently used on platforms with international audiences. This research provides new insights into the dynamics of language in digital communication and its relevance to shaping social identity in cyberspace.

Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of semantic change in language influenced by pop culture, particularly through film and music. The use of terms in these media, which carry social and cultural implications, triggers shift in communication styles and the formation of social identity. The aim of this research is to examine how the etymology of words popularized by film and music undergoes semantic transformation and how this process affects broader social values. A qualitative method with a literature review approach was employed, analyzing data from various films, songs, and scholarly sources. The findings indicate that terms emerging in film and music often become symbols of social change, introducing new concepts that enrich everyday language. This transformation not only reflects societal shifts but also fosters global cultural connectivity.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of popular language on the transformation of meaning and social identity in contemporary society, particularly within digital culture and social media. The identified problem is how popular language develops and functions as a social symbol that shapes behavior and social identity in the digital age. This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method, with data obtained from various journals, articles, and previous studies on the etymology of popular language and its impacts. The findings show that popular language, such as the terms “selfie,” “hashtag,” and “viral,” not only reflects digital phenomena but also functions to form a more inclusive social identity and introduces new values into society. Additionally, these terms significantly influence shaping social trends and reinforcing existing social norms.

Abstract

The kebaya, when analyzed through the lens of song lyrics, emerges not just as a garment but as enveloping the transmission of ancestral wisdom, embodying a cultural philosophy that has the potential to enrich and guide contemporary lives. This research endeavors to bridge this knowledge gap by unraveling its philosophical values embedded in Sundanese song lyrics. The research is rooted in the philosophy of science, rationalism, empiricism, and scientific methods. The research uncovers a complex interplay of positive and negative values, symbolic meanings, and cultural contexts. The analysis underscores the interconnectedness of color symbolism, historical context, and cultural expressions in shaping the philosophical values associated with traditional attire in song lyrics. In contrast, the analysis uncovered a negative correlation between the red kebaya and depicted wounds or heartache in the song lyrics. The analysis highlights the importance of considering attire as symbolic elements within cultural expressions, moving beyond idealizations to embrace the complexities and realities of romantic experiences.

Abstract

The existence of batik production in the Tasikmalaya region, especially in Cigeureung, makes the cultural attraction of the Tasikmalaya area because of its production and distribution for so long. This paper is motivated by the lack of knowledge of the Tasikmalaya people themselves about the names of batik motifs, the philosophy of batik patterns, and the development of Tasikmalaya Batik from time to time to examine in detail and the background of Tasikmalaya Batik. Based on these problems, this paper aims to describe Tasikmalaya Batik. The method used in this paper is the descriptive method. The result of this paper is that the batik style in Tasikmalaya is influenced by the surrounding areas such as Garut, Cirebon, and others. However, separately it has its characteristics, namely the payung geulis and kelom geulis motifs.

Abstract

Local language as a cultural treasure is very different from the sociolinguistic perspective. Culture positions local languages as wealth and relics of human creativity and karsa in the past which are very meaningful and must be maintained and preserved. When correlated with the nature of culture, of course, local languages are included in a dynamic culture which means that they will experience language deconstruction and/or reconstruction. It is impossible if the language does not accept a concept or vocabulary from another language. This means that the language will experience development both in terms of the vocabulary it has or the concept and its use. The use of language must be positioned not only as a tool for communication but as a cultural result that must be maintained and preserved. This paper tries to explain how local language preservation occurs in Indonesia in the realm of culture and sociolinguistics.
