Abstract

Nowadays, the development of technology is advancing rapidly, including in the field of communication. Social interaction has shifted to the digital sphere, with TikTok being one of the most popular social media platforms that allow users to interact without geographical restrictions. This development has triggered the emergence of neologisms and new linguistic features in social media interactions. Therefore, this study aims to explore the most common forms of neologism and linguistic forms that have emerged on the TikTok platforms and illuminate the impact of these phenomena on social discourse. It also highlights the role of social media as both a platform for expression and a driving force behind linguistic change. A qualitative approach with an observation method was applied in this research to deeply explore these issues. The findings reveal that the most common type of neologism is lexicographic, with a percentage of occurrence at 50%, while the use of emojis represents the most dominant new linguistic form on TikTok. These phenomena have impacted linguistic changes in social discourse, with the potential for new words to be added to modern dictionaries. Consequently, vocabulary continues to expand in line with the advancement of technology. In addition, this difference in language changes may lead to communication gaps among generations.

Abstract

This study investigated the types and functions of figurative languages found in the lyrics of selected songs from Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft (2024) album. Employing a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory-sequential design, the study identified and analyzed 232 instances of figurative expressions. The entire analysis was guided by Kennedy’s (2019) framework, which categorized figurative language into comparative, correlative, and contradictory forms. The findings revealed that metaphor was the most frequently employed comparative device, effectively conveying abstract and complex ideas, followed by simile and personification. Correlative expressions, such as metonymy and synecdoche, occurred less frequently, whereas contradictory expressions, including hyperbole, paradox, and irony, significantly contributed to emphasis and emotional depth. These rhetorical strategies enhanced the expressive quality of the lyrics, enabling nuanced emotional and symbolic interpretations. Besides, this study also underscored the critical role of figurative language in songwriting as a mechanism for bridging literal and symbolic meanings, thereby enriching audience engagement through the interplay of language, music, and performance.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of sarcasm in social media comments responding to the comparison of corruption punishments in Indonesia and China. Using a qualitative approach with pragmatics and cyberpragmatics frameworks, the research identifies and analyzes the forms, functions, and contexts of sarcasm in digital discourse. Data were collected from high-engagement comments on platforms like Instagram and Twitter, focusing on posts criticizing the disparity in corruption sentences. Linguistic indicators such as hashtags, emojis, capital letters, and exclamation marks were observed, revealing sarcasm's role in conveying dissatisfaction. Pragmatically, comments served as tools for social critique, emphasizing protest against legal injustices and invoking moral values like fairness and transparency. Cyberpragmatically, the digital context amplified the emotional tone and increased the viral potential of the comments, enabling broader public discourse. This study highlights sarcasm's effectiveness as a means of public criticism, demonstrating how digital platforms facilitate creative and collective expressions of social dissatisfaction.

Abstract

This study employs a semantic-pragmatic-sociopragmatic framework to analyze five Indonesian memes, exploring their role as cultural artifacts that navigate modern societal tensions. Through qualitative multimodal discourse analysis, the research examines how memes blend linguistic creativity, humor, and visual symbolism to critique issues such as academic pressure, procrastination, and cultural apathy. Key findings reveal that memes rely on semantic contrasts (e.g., literal vs. figurative meanings) to generate irony, pragmatic strategies like hyperbole and satire to subvert institutional norms, and sociopragmatic resonance to reflect collective experiences. Examples include the juxtaposition of Javanese cultural values with universal symbols ("Raurus") and the use of dark humor to criticize educational systems ("Student in ICU"). The study highlights memes’ dual function as tools for communal solidarity and platforms for subtle social critique, emphasizing their reliance on local dialects (e.g., "gini pak") and digital vernacular. Broader implications underscore memes’ significance in democratizing discourse and shaping digital literacy. Academically, the tripartite framework offers a robust methodology for decoding digital communication, while technological applications call for culturally adaptive AI to address nuances in sarcasm and context. Societally, memes challenge rigid definitions of success and productivity, advocating for empathy in an era of digital fragmentation. This research positions memes as vital, dynamic reflections of contemporary identity and resistance, bridging individual expression with collective cultural narratives.

Abstract

Negative and sarcastic sentiments dominate online discourse. It reflects the dynamic nature of digital communication and its socio-linguistic implications. This study investigates the prevalence and types of comments with focusing on explicit negative opinions and sarcastic and explicit opinions. Those emerge as the most frequent forms in sentiment discourse. Drawing upon insights from sentiment analysis frameworks by Liu (2015) and Ponzi et al. (2017), this research categorized user comments and analyzed their frequencies and implications within the context of social media interactions. The research employs qualitative analysis to classify and interpret comments. It also combines theoretical insights with real user-generated content. Comments were grouped into categories, including fact-implied opinions, explicit negative opinions, sarcastic opinions, and implicit opinions. It reveals significant trends in the expression of dissatisfaction and humor-laden critiques online. The findings suggest that digital platforms serve as spaces for users to openly voice grievances. It is often through direct negativity or sarcasm. In particular, sarcasm functions as a creative linguistic tool for indirect critique and identity construction. While it also reflects broader societal concerns such as socioeconomic inequality. These trends highlight the polarized and emotionally charged nature of online discourse, where negativity is amplified through rapid interactions and shared cultural references. Implications of this study underline the importance of nuanced sentiment analysis models that account for the complexities of tone, sarcasm, and indirect communication. Additionally, fostering constructive digital environments requires strategies to mitigate negativity. While it is promoting balanced engagement and contributing to a deeper understanding of evolving digital communication practices and societal dynamics.

Abstract

This article discusses Consonant Clusters (CC) in Manggaraian Name (MN). CC constitutes two or more different consonants is one syllable. In Theory of Cultural Linguistics, CC belongs to verbal symbols. They are based in cultural imagery of Manggaraian Language Speakers (MLS). The data were obtained from observation on MN consisting of Male Manggaraian Names (MMN) and Female Manggaraian Name (FMN).CC is homorganly formed from nasal-sonorants-continuants /m/, /n/, and /ng/ and stop consonant/b/, /p/, /d/, /t/, /g/, /k/, and affricate consonant /c/ and /j/forming eight CC: /mb/, /mp/, /nc/, /nd/, /nj/, /nt/, /ngg/, and /ngk/. They occur more in MMN than they do in FMN. They combine with different vowel frequency. They include /ngg/, /mb/, /nd/, /mp/, /ngk/, /nt/, /nc/, and/nj/ in MMN, but /nd/, /mb/, /ngg/, /nt/, /mp/, /ngk/, /nc/, and /nj/ in FMN respectively. CC differences in MN reflect cultural imagery difference of MLS on gender. MN has cultural consonant clusters

Abstract

Bilingualism is a common is common in many countries, retrieved by the existence of two languages within individuals. One notable challenge faced by bilinguals is the difficulty in expressing thought across languages since there will be an influence from one language to another; this phenomenon can be called a cross-linguistic influence (CLI). CLI arises from competition between languages, leading to interference that can manifest in various linguistic domains. Although CLI has been widely discussed in previous research, factors contributing to CLI are still debatable, especially within the field of bilingualism. The present study aims to predict the cross-linguistic interference between two different languages, Indonesian and Dutch. We examined this interference based on three hypotheses: Autonomous Development, Interface Hypothesis, and Competition Model. We use the descriptive qualitative method, we analyze the data extracted from bilinguals to test the validity of these hypotheses in predicting patterns of CLI between two varied language combinations. The result shows that the prediction regarding CLI is significantly determined by the typological distinction between Indonesian and Dutch. The study concludes that various predictions of cross-linguistic interference are related to the typological distinction between Indonesian and Dutch, as it is interpreted from those three frameworks. Finally, this study suggests that further research must evaluate and validate the prediction to gain a more in-depth understanding of theoretical and practical implications.
