Analisis Kesalahan Berbahasa pada Tataran Fonologis dan Sintaksis dalam Postingan Instagram Akun @ahmaddhaniofficial

Abstract

Social media has become one of the most widely used platforms for public communication, including by public figures. However, language use on social media often ignores the rules of standard Indonesian, resulting in various language errors, especially in phonological and syntactic aspects. This phenomenon is important to study because social media has a significant influence on people’s language habits. This study aims to describe the forms of phonological and syntactic errors found in two Instagram posts from ahmaddhaniofficial uploaded on April 30, 2026, and May 11, 2026. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using content analysis methods. The research objects were texts contained in Instagram posts, while the data collection techniques included observation, documentation, and note-taking. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data classification, data presentation, and conclusion drawing based on theories of Indonesian language errors. The results of the study show that several phonological errors were identified, including errors in abbreviation writing, capitalization, prefix writing, clitic writing, reduplication, and punctuation usage. The most dominant errors were the use of nonstandard abbreviations and excessive capitalization. In addition, syntactic errors were also found, such as ungrammatical sentences, incoherent sentences, contaminated sentences, ineffective sentences, illogical sentences, inaccurate sentences, ambiguous sentences, unparallel sentences, and interference sentences. The most dominant syntax errors were ambiguous and ineffective sentences. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that language use on social media tends to prioritize emotional expression and communication speed over adherence to proper Indonesian language rules. This study is expected to increase awareness among social media users, especially public figures, to pay greater attention to the proper and correct use of Indonesian in digital communication.
