In the fast-paced digital era, social media has become a dominant space for teenagers and young generations to communicate. However, language use in this domain has shifted significantly from formal linguistic norms. This study aims to analyze non-standard language forms such as informal abbreviations (“gpp”), digital laughter representations (“wkwk”), foreign acronyms (“btw”), and stylized "alay" writing (“aQ cInTa kM”) from linguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives. A qualitative descriptive method with content analysis was employed to examine popular linguistic data found on digital platforms. The results show that these forms serve as visual and symbolic representations that are collectively understood by users despite deviating from standard morphological and phonological structures. From a psycholinguistic viewpoint, cognitive processes such as pattern recognition, visual reformulation, and mental shortcuts enable users to quickly interpret these forms. While these expressions reflect creativity and age-specific identity, they also raise concerns about the decline of formal language competence among students. Therefore, educational efforts and digital language literacy are necessary to balance freedom of expression with the preservation of proper and standardized Indonesian language usage.
