PROBLEMATIKA PENGGUNAAN RAGAM BAHASA JURNALISTIK PADA MEDIA MASSA DAN IMPLIKASINYA TERHADAP PEMBINAAN BAHASA INDONESIA DI MASYARAKAT

Abstract

Good print media are those prioritizing the writing quality. Although they
emphasize more on effectiveness, efficiency, and cost, they should take into
account of the writing quality, without violating the Indonesian language rules.
Some violations found in journalistic writing include: (1) spelling and punctuation
violations, (2) grammatical violations, consisting of errors in syllable separation,
morphological violations, and syntactic errors, (3) semantic violations, and (4)
discourse violations. Other problems concern loanwords, namely foreign words
that are already popular in the community. The replacement of foreign words
absorbed into the Indonesian language with unavailable Indonesian equivalents
results in difficulty.
