Abstract

This research is based on the language variation used among teenagers in one of the social media platforms, Twitter. This research is focused on the language variations created by changing the form of the words in Bahasa which has become a new trend on Twitter. The purpose of this study is to find out the patterns, meanings, and factors that cause language variations among teenagers. A descriptive qualitative method was used in conducting this research. The data collected is based on the words referring to the new trend mentioned in Twitter’s tweets. The data were analyzed by using language variations theory proposed by Akmajian (1998) and Adams (2009). The finding shows that a new trend of language use appears to dominate the language use among teenagers which is nowadays triggered by the development of communication technology rapidly growing. The development in the way they communicate is shown as their identity as they are involved as the participants of the community of practice.
