Keywords:
Indonesian fans, translanguaging, translingual negotiation strategies, XAbstract
This present study aims to explore the translingual negotiation strategies deployed by Indonesian fans of Korean and Thai pop and dramas to make meaning in communicating on X. I focus on the online interaction in X by analysing the Indonesian fans’ language use with the principal postulation that is using non-standard forms of writing and switching to other language(s).The translanguaging in this study is analyzed at lexical and sentence level. Methodologically, this study applies netnographic study focusing on lurking method. This study used X posts (tweets) from native Indonesian speakers dated or posted from July 2020 to Feb 2022. I collected the information from the data gathered and then tried to add up to it by consulting the theories. The data of similar occurrences are analysed qualitatively. The findings reveal that the Indonesian fans of Korean and Thai pop and dramas used social voicing, phone translation and L1word-per-word translation strategies as their strategies to make meaning in their translanguaging. This study can proclaim that the Indonesian fans’ translanguaging is a means to build Indonesian fans’ communication, specifically in their circles within the groups that existed in online space. Their translanguaging formed out of the purpose of meaning making to indicate their interests.This study provides a new insight of translanguaging in X as a place where interlocutors are given the freedom to use language as their individual preference. This open space makes translanguaging a facilitator to enhance language use and a means to improve language learners’ performance.
