Indonesian fans, translanguaging, translingual negotiation strategies, XAbstract
The research aimed to explore the translingual negotiation strategies deployed by Indonesian fans of Korean and Thai pop and dramas to make meaning in communicating on X. It focused on the online interaction in X by analyzing 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 research was analyzed at lexical and sentence levels. Methodologically, the research applied a netnographic study focusing on the lurking method. This research used X posts (tweets) from native Indonesian speakers dated or posted from July 2020 to Feb 2022. The research collected the information from the data gathered and then tried to add up to it by consulting the theories. The data of similar occurrences were analyzed qualitatively. The findings reveal that Indonesian fans of Korean and Thai pop and dramas use social voicing, phone translation, and L1 word-per-word translation strategies to make meaning in their translanguaging. The research can proclaim that Indonesian fans’ translanguaging is a means to build Indonesian fans’ communication, specifically in their circles within the groups that exist in online space. Their translanguaging forms out of meaning-making to indicate their interests. The research provides new insight into translanguaging in X as a place where interlocutors are free to use language as their preference. This open space makes translanguaging a facilitator to enhance language use and a means to improve language learners’ performance.
