PERUBAHAN BAHASA GENERASI MUDA SELAMA PANDEMI ISTILAH-ISTILAH BARU DAN PENGARUHNYA

Abstract

With the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020, there has been a significant impact on social and cultural aspects. Restrictions on activities have certainly posed obstacles for the community, especially for the youth. As a result of these restrictions, young people have faced challenges in communication and interaction, forcing them to adapt to new ways of connecting. These changes have led to the emergence of new terms that reflect these new realities. Consequently, a question arises: how do these terms affect the language and communication of the younger generation? This research aims to answer this question by conducting an in-depth analysis of the new terms that emerged during the pandemic and examining their influence on the language of the younger generation.
