Abstract

The proliferation of terms on social media used by the LGBT community for internal communication has given rise to code languages. This study aims to identify and classify neologisms related to gender and LGBT themes found in posts and comments on the Twitter account @darahputihhangat, as well as explain the function and role of these words in the realm of digital communication. The data in this study are linguistic units at the word level, collected thru observation and recording of uploads and comments during the period of April 2022. The comments used totaled 36. The data population consisted of 60 words, and 43 samples were taken because reduplication was found in some comments. The data collection method uses the observation-note method to gather the data found. Next, the data analysis method uses orthographic and referential matching methods to examine written language phenomena and the meanings/references they refer to. Finally, the data is presented in a formal format, which is descriptively accompanied by tables and charts. This study found 43 neologisms with variations in their formation processes, including clipping, borrowing, blending, reversal, arbitrary creation, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, and metaphor. The most dominant formation process was clipping (29%), followed by borrowing (27%) and hyperbole (18%), while onomatopoeia and metaphor were the least used forms. The research findings indicate that neologisms not only serve as markers of social identity for the LGBT community but also as a means of euphemism to soften potentially vulgar terms. Additionally, slang also serves as an internal language to avoid conflict. This finding confirms that gender and LGBT language enriches the Indonesian social media lexicon and reflects the sociolinguistic dynamics of today's digital society.
