Local languages which are also referred as mother tongue should be attached to every child as individual. The re-orientation of language due to global influences should not mean forgetting the local language. Globalization and traditions can run simultaneously so that millennial generations are not only proficient in foreign languages, but also understand in using their local languages. This is a communication and culture research. The purpose of this study was to determine the millennials assumptions about local languages and the teaching approaches needed. An integrated teaching approach is needed so that it can restore the millennials’ interest and confidence in speaking their local languages. This research used a descriptive qualitative method with interview techniques, involving millennial generation from Jakarta, West Java and Lampung Provinces. The results of the study show that some of the millennials can speak their local languages but not as active speakers. There are two major obstacles that prevent the millennials to speak their local languages, namely internal and external factors. Internal factor that prevents them from speaking their local languages is family, and the external factors include peers, environment and technology. To encourage the use of local language, the government has issued Regional Regulations (PERDA) so that local languages can be used by daily life such as in schools. In addition, equality communication model can be used in teaching local languages, that include seriousness, openness, acceptance, and flexible teaching This approach is supported by binding local government regulations that require the use of local languages in a variety of contexts, including the language of instruction in education.

Mental processes are process of sensing and are realized by verbs of cognition, affection, perception, and volition. Those types of verbs are transitive verbs, which mean they need object. This means that there is someone who senses (Senser) and there is something that is sensed (Phenomenon). There are three types of phenomenon, Phenomenon of Thing, Phenomenon of Act and Phenomenon of Fact. These two participants—Senser and Phenomenon—always exist in the processes, whether explicitly or implicitly. However, some clauses that are mental processes do not include one of the participants, eitherSenser or Phenomenon. There is even some data that do not include both participants. Thus, the aim of this paper is to probe implicit participants that might exist in mental processes, using content analysis as a method. The result, Implicit Participants, namely Implicit Senser and Implicit Phenomenon, can be retrieved from sentence that comes before the mental processes. The mental processes were then paraphrased and deconstructed to form a complete mental processes that include both participants, Senser and Phenomenon.Keywords: Mental process, Senser, Phenomenon, implicit

Dalam penelitian ini akan dibahas mengenai kekerasan verbal yang terdapat di media sosial, khususnya pada kanal YouTube Rezaoktovian karena dalam video blog yang diunggah banyak terdapat kata-kata kasar yang termasuk ke dalam tindak kekerasan nonfisik. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mencari jumlah dan kategori kekerasan verbal yang terdapat dalam video blog pada kanal Rezaoktovian dengan menggunakan pendekatan secara kuantitatif dan metode analisis isi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kekerasan verbal dibagi menjadi empat kategori, yaitu eufemisme, hiperbol, umpatan, dan umpatan dalam bahasa asing, dengan frekuensi kekerasan verbal rata-rata sebanyak 924 kali. Menyangkut masalah etika, Reza Oktovian telah melanggar norma kesopanan, serta hukum yang ada pada Undang-Undang ITE (Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik), Nomor 11 Tahun 2008 Pasal 27 ayat III Bab VII tentang Perbuatan Yang Dilarang (Republik Indonesia, 2008). Hal ini dikhawatirkan akan memberikan dampak negatif kepada anak-anak berusia di bawah umur, yaitu mereka dapat meniru menggunakan kata-kata kasar yang sering diucapkan oleh Reza   Oktovian yang mengandung kekerasan verbal di YouTube.
