Abstract

The aim of this study is twofold: 1) to find out what aspects of linguistic and discourse features are contained in WhatsApp conversations 2) to investigate WhatsApp used by different generations. WhatsApp analysis tertiary level students, Indonesia was conducted to analyse the language elements used in WhatsApp groups. WhatsApp chat collected through mobile devices is fully analysed and then categorized into linguistic and discourse features. The results shown in this study are that there are several differences between the WhatsApp language used by generation X and generation Y in linguistic and discourse features. WhatsApp's message to Generation X is more likely to use letters that are omitted, logograms, and initialism, while Generation Y uses non-standard spelling, shortening, and pictograms. The features of discourse in both generations produce the same number of mixed languages. Whereas generation Y uses fewer letters for emphasis in conversation while they using WhatsApp than generation X.

WhatsApp短信用户语言和话语特征的代际差异

本研究的目的是双重的:1)找出语言和话语特征的哪些方面包含在WhatsApp的对话2)调查不同世代使用的WhatsApp。WhatsApp分析印度尼西亚的大专学生，分析WhatsApp群组中使用的语言元素。通过移动设备收集的WhatsApp聊天内容进行充分分析，然后将其分类为语言和话语特征。本研究结果显示，X代和Y代使用的WhatsApp语言在语言和话语特征上存在一些差异。WhatsApp发给X一代的信息更有可能使用省略的字母、符号和首字母缩写，而Y一代则使用非标准拼写、缩写和象形符号。两代人的话语特征产生了相同数量的混合语言。而Y一代在使用WhatsApp时，在对话中使用的强调字母比X一代少。
