KRISISNYA PENGGUNAAN BAHASA INDONESIA BAKU DI APLIKASI X

Abstract

This research examines the use of non-standard Indonesian language in the social media application "X," focusing on slang or informal language, incorrect spelling, and poorly constructed sentences that often lead to ineffective communication and misinformation. The study highlights how irregularities in language use not only diminish communication effectiveness but also reflect a lack of awareness in preserving the authenticity and purity of Indonesian as the national language. To promote awareness and proper use of Indonesian, the study recommends enhanced language education, social media awareness campaigns, policy support for correct language use, character education, and early cultivation of pride and love for the Indonesian language. The research utilizes a qualitative descriptive approach by observing user opinions in the "X" application and documenting user interactions, revealing numerous irregularities, usage errors, and improper constructions.
