Semantic Meaning: A Forensic Linguistic Study in the Comments of Catwalk Video Posts A.S on Account @Tiktok Pojok Satu Selebriti

Abstract

 This study examines forensic linguistic aspects in comments on TikTok videos of A.S.'s catwalk, posted on the @pojoksatuselebriti account. It aims to analyze the semantic meanings (words, phrases, and sentences) and identify linguistic patterns potentially involving defamation, hate speech, or verbal harassment. Using a qualitative  content analysis approach, the research explores how connotative meanings in user comments reflect societal biases  and stereotypes. Comments often contain implicit insults, sarcasm, or criticism directed at A.S.'s physical  performance, posing risks of reputational damage. Key findings include the use of metaphorical and sarcastic  expressions, such as "klemar klemer banget" and "kek preman pasar," which subtly degrade and demean. This analysis  highlights the growing significance of forensic linguistics in addressing ethical and legal implications of online 
communication. The study underscores the importance of linguistic accountability in digital spaces to foster respectful  interactions and mitigate potential legal violations.
