This study examines youth slang (Jugendsprache) in the film Into the Beat (2020) through semantic and morphological approaches. The background of the research is based on the phenomenon of youth language development, which is dynamic, creative, and rich in socio-cultural meaning, yet often difficult for foreign speakers to understand. Youth language is chosen as the object of study because it reflects identity, group solidarity, and the communicative creativity of young people, and frequently appears in media, particularly films. The theoretical framework refers to experts’ perspectives on the characteristics of youth language, including the use of Anglicisms, abbreviations, metaphorization, and the formation of neologisms. The research method applied is descriptive qualitative, with data sources taken from the dialogues and subtitles of the film Into the Beat. The analysis is carried out based on Helmut Henne’s theory of youth language characteristics. The results reveal that youth slang in the film functions not only as a means of communication but also as a medium of emotional expression, lifestyle, and identity construction among German adolescents. Vocabulary such as alter, bro, krass, cool, and scheiße demonstrates creativity in morphological processes, including abbreviation, prefixation, and borrowing from foreign languages. The study concludes that youth slang plays an essential role in shaping characters, inter-character relationships, and the authenticity of the storyline. Furthermore, youth language reflects the evolving cultural and social dynamics of adolescents. This research is expected to contribute to linguistic studies, particularly semantics, and to serve as a valuable resource in German language learning by expanding vocabulary and fostering an understanding of authentic communication patterns among German teenagers.

The presence of colloquial expressions in public signage commonly referred to ba- hasa gaul has increasingly become a linguistic hallmark in various tourism and recreational ar- eas in Indonesia. This study investigates the use of informal language on public signage at Pantai Kelan, Bali, and analyzes such linguistic choices that reflect social dynamics, youth identity, and evolving modes of communication in public space. Grounded in sociolinguistic perspectives, the research highlights the role of signage as not only a medium of information, but also a space for constructing shared meaning and fostering engagement through culturally resonant expressions. This qualitative research employed observational and documentation methods. It focused on twelve public signs installed at Pantai Kelan. Data were collected through field observations, photographic documentation, and subsequent transcription and analysis of the linguistic forms. The analysis fo- cused on identifying dominant lexical patterns, stylistic choices, and communicative functions of the language used. The signs were then interpreted with reference to their potential cultural, social, and interactional implications within the broader framework of linguistic landscape studies. The findings indicate that the use of bahasa gaul in signage serves multiple purposes: capturing atten- tion, expressing local identity, evoking humor, and connecting with a predominantly young and digital-native audience. Rather than being perceived as informal or inappropriate, such language use contributes to the effectiveness of public communication in specific contexts. The study con- tributes to the growing body of literature on language in public space and emphasizes the impor- tance of cultural relevance and sociolinguistic awareness in designing public signage that is both meaningful and impactful

This study aims to identify the forms of implicature and language styles employed by netizens when commenting on the TikTok account @owner daviena skincare. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a pragmatic approach, this research explores the linguistic phenomena occurring in the comment section of selected posts. Data collection techniques include non-participant observation, attentive listening, note-taking, and documentation. The theoretical framework is based on the concept of implicature, which covers both conventional and non-conventional implicatures. The findings reveal that the comment section displays a variety of implicatures, with the dominant purposes being to offer advice, deliver criticism, and express support toward the content creator. Conventional implicatures appear when the meaning conveyed is closely tied to specific linguistic expressions, while non-conventional implicatures are identified in cases where the intended meaning relies on contextual interpretation. In terms of language style, the majority of comments utilize informal and conversational expressions, characterized by colloquial vocabulary, slang, and abbreviations that are common in online interactions. The analysis also highlights that the interplay between implicature and informal language style reflects the spontaneous and dynamic nature of digital communication on social media. Such interactions not only serve as a platform for engagement but also illustrate how language is adapted to suit the immediacy and brevity of online discourse. The study concludes that understanding implicature in social media contexts is essential for interpreting the underlying meanings beyond the literal content of user comments. Furthermore, the predominance of informal styles demonstrates the influence of digital culture on contemporary language use, particularly among netizens engaged in beauty and skincare communities.

Aspect-based sentiment Analysis (ABSA) is vital in capturing customer opinions on specific e-commerce products and service attributes. This study proposes a hybrid deep learning model integrating Bi-Directional Gated Recurrent Units (BiGRU) and Bi-Directional Attention Flow (BiDAF) to perform aspect-level sentiment classification. BiGRU captures sequential dependencies, while BiDAF enhances attention by focusing on sentiment-relevant segments. The model is trained on an Amazon review dataset with preprocessing steps, including emoji handling, slang normalization, and lemmatization. It achieves a peak training accuracy of 99.78% at epoch 138 with early stopping. The model delivers a strong performance on the Amazon test set across four key aspects: price, quality, service, and delivery, with F1 scores ranging from 0.90 to 0.92. The model was also evaluated on the SemEval 2014 ABSA dataset to assess generalizability. Results on the restaurant domain achieved an F1-score of 88.78% and 83.66% on the laptop domain, outperforming several state-of-the-art baselines. These findings confirm the effectiveness of the BiGRU-BiDAF architecture in modeling aspect-specific sentiment across diverse domains.

The digital era has brought significant changes to the use of Indonesian in various aspects of life, including daily communication, the academic world, as well as the creative industry and tourism. Phenomena such as code-mixing, the use of slang, and the dominance of foreign terms in the formal sphere show that Indonesian continues to develop following the dynamics of globalization. This research aims to analyze how the linguistic development of Indonesian in the digital era affects the structure, meaning, and function of communication in society. The research methods used are literature review and phenomenological analysis of language use in social media, the world of work, and the tourism sector. The results show that although the digital era enriches vocabulary and communication expressions, there are challenges in preserving Indonesian as a national identity. The increasingly dominant influence of foreign languages has the potential to shift the use of Indonesian in formal and academic domains. Therefore, an adaptive language policy strategy is needed, including digital literacy education and increasing public linguistic awareness, to maintain a balance between the development and preservation of Indonesian.

The waning enthusiasm for preserving the nation's wealth, one of which is regional languages, has become a serious problem that has occurred in recent years. However, only a few Indonesian people are aware of it. Regional languages, especially Serang Javanese, are on the verge of extinction. According to the data obtained, there are three million speakers of Serang Javanese, while the majority of Jaseng (Serang Javanese) speakers are in Cilegon, Serang and a small number in Tangerang, Banten Province. Unfortunately, Banten Javanese language users are starting to be eroded by the progress of the times, people are more in favor of slang communication, South Jakarta language, and the influence of other foreign languages.
