“…Females status updates generally contain more immediacy words than males. This finding lends support to (Lenhart, 2012;Herring and Kapidzic, 2015) that there are gender differences in teens' internet use.…”

“…Compared to the data available on some social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, there is a scarcity of research using critical discourse analysis (CDA) as an explanatory or analytical framework for exploring online data particularly language use in WhatsApp's status notifications. There are gender differences in teens' internet use (Herring and Kapidzic, 2015); however, how genders represent themselves to others through online social media still needs further explanation. Reviewing the previous literature reveals a dearth of research about socio-linguistic aspects of the WhatsApp as well as the impact of gender on the language used in online social sites.…”

This study is the first to analyse WhatsApp's semantic notifications particularly those of Jordanians. It also seeks to analyse the differences in these notifications' language use by gender and endeavors to reveal some latent socio-cultural values affecting the way users make certain language choices in these online notifications. The study contributes to knowledge since such analysis helps to reveal unique networks of individuals communicating through Arabic and English in unique and innovative ways. It mainly assists in describing the members of the Jordanian society revealing a great deal of information about their personal status, their activities, society and problems. The discourse analysis of these notifications also describes how the language has been adjusted to online discourse. The written status notifications from 300 WhatsApp's users were compiled and analysed based on a critical discourse analysis to form a predictive model of the users based on their language and to investigate the traces of social values in these semantic expressions and explain their connotations and functions in discourse. Results indicated that the language used in WhatsApp's status notifications were a mixture of both standard and non-standard abbreviations, reduced endings which were ungrammatical. It was also found that the linguistic notifications-based assessments constitute a valid reflection of the status of its users and their society as a whole. They were as a revelation of personal, social, religious and political issues the users are concerned about. Differences with respect to gender were not found in structural construction of the language rather in categories indicating various themes. Results showed that females status updates are more personal, religious and social while males are concerned more about political, national and international themes.

Adolescents consistently compare themselves with others they see on social media. This habit can bring up in them a sense of envy or inferiority, which then can lead to a decrease in self-esteem. Therefore, it is necessary to have aspects that can increase their confidence and optimism, including in term of spirituality, their sense of gratitude. The purpose of this study was to see the role of gratitude as moderating variable in the influence of social comparison on the self-esteem of social media adolescent users. The research was conducted using social comparison scale of Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Scale (INCOM), gratitude scale, and selfesteem state scale, which were distributed to 200 social media adolescent users in DKI Jakarta, were involved through incidental sampling. The results of data analysis showed that there was a significant role of gratitude in influencing social comparison to change these participants' self-esteem. The sense of gratitude served to increase these adolescents' self-esteem, which previously decreased as a result of social comparison. This study had a number of weaknesses in the use of the instruments, especially the social comparison scale. Any similar study in the future is expected to focus more on one kind of social media.Abstrak: Remaja seringkali membandingkan diri dengan orang lain yang dilihatnya ketika mengakses media sosial, yang kemudian dapat menimbulkan rasa iri atau yang mengarah kepada penurunan self-esteem (rendah diri/minder). Dengan demikian diperlukan adanya aspek yang dapat meningkatkan kepercayaan diri dan rasa optimisnya, termasuk dari segi spiritualitas, seperti salah satunya adalah kebersyukuran. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat peran dari syukur sebagai variabel moderator, dalam pengaruh perbandingan sosial terhadap self-esteem remaja pengguna media sosial. Penelitian dilakukan dengan instrumen skala perbandingan sosial Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Scale (INCOM), skala syukur, dan self-esteem state scale yang dibagikan kepada 200 orang remaja pengguna media sosial di DKI Jakarta dengan menggunakan incidental sampling. Hasil analisis data dengan menggunakan moderated regression analysis menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peran yang signifikan dari syukur dalam pengaruh perbandingan sosial terhadap self-esteem remaja pengguna media sosial. Syukur berfungsi meningkatkan self-esteem dari remaja yang bersangkutan yang menurun sebagai dampak dari perbandingan sosial.

“…Ezaugarri horietako bat genero identitatearena izan liteke eta interesgarria da ikustea talde-eztabaidetako batean emakumezko parte-hartzaileek esaten dutela gizonezkoek baino emoziozko hitz gehiago erabiltzen dituztela. Neska eta mutilen arteko desberdintasunak beste ikerketa batzuetan ere agertu izan dira (Kapidzik eta Herring 2011;Herring eta Kapidzic 2015).…”

Con el desarrollo de la tecnología han emergido nuevas vías y nuevas maneras de comunicación y eso influye directamente en el uso del lenguaje. Entre las nuevas vías de comunicación que han surgido se encuentra la mensajería instantánea. En este artículo se analizan cuestiones relacionadas con el uso del lenguaje que hacen los adolescentes multilingües de un contexto sociolingüístico vascohablante en la comunicación por medio de mensajería instantánea.Por una parte, se analizan las características del lenguaje escrito utilizado en un contexto informal. Y por otra parte, se hace un análisis cualitativo de las percepciones que tienen los usuarios con respecto a ello. Al poner el foco en el euskara, el presente artículo intenta hacer una aportación que enriquezca la investigación que se está llevando a cabo sobre este tema a nivel internacional.
