Analisis Ambiguitas Gramatikal dalam Kolom Komentar Media Sosial akun Instagram @lambe_turah (Kejagung: Bencana di Sumatera Bukan Murni Alam, Ada Dampak Alihfungsi Hutan)

Abstract

Instagram social media serves as a dynamic space for linguistic interaction and has the potential to give rise to linguistic phenomena, one of which is grammatical ambiguity. This study aims to describe the forms of grammatical ambiguity found in the Instagram comment section on the @lambe_turah account. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The data consist of written utterances containing grammatical ambiguity, collected through observation and note-taking techniques, and analyzed based on the theories proposed by Ullmann and Pateda. The results show that of the 12 data analyzed, two types of grammatical ambiguity were identified: ambiguity resulting from the use of affixes, particularly the suffix -nya, found in five data, and ambiguity at the phrasal level, found in seven data. These ambiguities arise due to unclear referents and word combinations within phrases that allow more than one interpretation, and are also influenced by the characteristics of social media language, which tends to be informal and concise. The findings indicate that grammatical ambiguity is a common phenomenon in digital communication and is important to consider in order to improve the effectiveness of language use on social media
