Implikasi Transformasi Filsafat Bahasa di Era Digital bagi Kalangan Remaja

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has significantly transformed adolescents’ language practices, particularly in educational contexts. Digital language emerging through social media, online learning platforms, and the use of artificial intelligence influences how adolescents communicate, think, interpret meaning, and construct academic identity. This study aims to analyze the transformation of the philosophy of language in the digital era and its implications for adolescent education. A qualitative approach was employed using literature review and documentation methods, focusing on philosophical theories of language and studies on digital communication relevant to adolescent language practices. The findings indicate that adolescents’ digital language is contextual, multimodal, and semantically unstable, which affects learning comprehension, critical thinking skills, and the use of academic language. Furthermore, digital media algorithms and the utilization of artificial intelligence shape adolescents’ patterns of language use and learning, potentially shifting language from a reflective medium to an instrument of information consumption. The study concludes that adolescent education in the digital era should integrate the philosophy of language, critical digital literacy, and ethical communication to foster linguistic awareness and responsible language use..
