Abstract

This research aims to determine the language features used by men and women commenters on Putri Ariani's performance video on the America's Got Talent YouTube Channel. The video has received various comments from various people, countries, and ages. Therefore, in this study, the researcher answered the research problem, including (1) What are the most dominant types of Internet language features used by men commenters in Putri Ariani on the America's Got Talent YouTube channel, (2) What are the most dominant types of Internet language features used by women commenters in Putri Ariani on the America's Got Talent YouTube channel, (3) How do the similarities and differences of Internet language features used by Men and Women commenters reflect their gender in Putri Ariani on the America's Got Talent YouTube channel. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach to answer these problems. This method is applied in this research to identify data, categorize it, and use perception in interpreting it. The researcher analyzed based on Danet's theory (2001) which consists of eleven features, including abbreviation, all lower case, asterisk for emphasis, capital letters, description of action, eccentric spelling, emoticons, multiple punctuation, music/noise, rebus writing, and written out laugher. The data collected are comments in the form of written words, phrases, symbols and emoticons. The research results show that emoticons are the most dominant feature used by men and women commenters but with different numbers. Women commenters more often express all their feelings through emoticons. The reason the emoticon feature is more often used to convey feelings such as admiration, joy, surprise, etc. both in the form of facial expressions and symbols. In addition, all comments contain positive comments, so the use of the emoticon feature also complements and strengthens the message conveyed. Meanwhile, similarities were found in that both of them do not use the written out laughter features. The lowest feature is the description of action. They tend to use capital letters to emphasize words or sentences. Likewise, eccentric spelling because they tend to use multiple periods to provide intonation in their comments, and asterisks for emphasis because they tend to use emoticons to represent their actions. In addition, women commenters use more Internet language features than men commenters. It was found that women used 122 features, while men used 104 features. This shows that women commenters are more expressive, while men commenters tend to write in standard form in giving comments.
