TikTok is a social media platform popular among the younger generation and a platform for the development of linguistic innovation, particularly in the form of digital slang. This study aims to identify and categorize slang types based on the morphological processes that appear in TikTok video content, captions, comments, and text. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with online data collection from popular content published between 2023 and 2025. The analysis was based on Yule's (2022) word formation theory. A total of 50 slang entries were reviewed and classified into five types of morphological processes: acronym, clipping, derivation, blending, and coinage. The results showed that the most dominant processes were acronym, clipping, derivation, and blending. Coinage was not found in the data. These findings demonstrate the linguistic creativity of TikTok users in developing communication strategies that simultaneously construct social identities in the digital space. TikTok slang not only functions as a form of language but also reflects cultural practices and group communication patterns in the digital era.

Poetry as a literary work represents the social phenomena of society written by the author. This research aimed to analyze the elements that build erotic discourse in the poetry collection Orkestra Pemakaman (2018) by Aslan Abidin. This research used a qualitative descriptive research method with purposive sampling techniques and flow models. Through Paul Ricouer's hermeneutical approach, this research revealed that the elements of poetry that build erotic discourse include the use of rich diction, strong imagery, diverse figurative language, and deep rhetorical means. Apart from that, the erotic discourse in this anthology also included aspects such as sexuality discourse, power discourse, historical discourse, religious discourse, death euphoria discourse and cultural identity discourse. Erotic discourse was depicted through the meaning of women as objects, the depiction of women's bodies in erotic language, and the reflection of society's views on sexual education. The findings provided an understanding of the relationship between eroticism, religion and cultural identity in the context of South Sulawesi.

Song lyrics function not only as entertainment but also as a medium of communication that conveys emotional and social messages to listeners. Barasuara’s “Terbuang dalam Waktu” is particularly interesting to study because it combines the themes of grief and hope through distinctive stylistic choices, and its popularity increased significantly after being featured as the soundtrack of the film Sore: Istri dari Masa Depan, which brought the song to wider public recognition. This study aims to describe how emotions and hope are represented in the lyrics of “Terbuang dalam Waktu” by applying stylistic and rhetorical analysis. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with the lyric text as the primary data. The analysis focused on identifying stylistic devices such as repetition, parallelism, and metaphor, as well as rhetorical devices such as rhetorical questions, lexical reinforcement, and peroration, which were then interpreted within linguistic and communication frameworks. The findings show that the opening part of the lyrics is dominated by negative emotions such as sadness, inner wounds, and doubt, expressed through repetition, parallelism, and rhetorical questions. A turning point appears in the performative verb “berubah,” which shifts the discourse from despair to action. The closing part represents hope and love through growth metaphors, emotional support, and the statement “cinta tak kenal waktu” as the peak of the message. The combination of stylistic and rhetorical devices ensures that the song’s message is delivered powerfully and emotionally, allowing listeners not only to understand the lyrics but also to experience the journey from grief to hope.
