Transformasi Makna Leksikal dalam Bahasa Indonesia Mutakhir: Analisis Wacana Termediasi Komputer

Abstract

The complex interactions between different social and cultural groups have a significant impact on language. These changes can affect various aspects of language, from those phonetics, lexical, and semantics, to syntax. This paper aims to analyze and reveal various semantic changes that occur in the Indonesian language caused by the development of technology and information. Several lexical units, surf, roam, home, tablet, google, zoom, status, crispy, and organic are several of many examples. Overall, these types of language change can be characterized by the emergence of new concepts in various fields. Semantic changes can be classified into various types, including metaphorical transfers, metonymic transfers, and semantic transformations. All these phenomena are examined in the framework of computer-mediated discourse. This study uses a structural research method of meaning analysis and involves a comparative study between the lexical meaning and the contextual meaning of the lexical unit being analyzed. This study concludes that there is a semantic shift in the Indonesian language-its quality and the impact on Indonesian language and culture, in general, requires further research and a more detailed linguistic description.
