Abstract

This study aims to analyze linguistic errors in Instagram captions from personal, business, and public figure accounts. Data collection was carried out by taking screenshots of accounts with erroneous captions. The analysis focused on identifying errors in the use of spelling, hyphens, capitalization, and word choice. The research found 10 data points with numerous errors in captions created by personal, business, and public figure accounts. These errors are presented with corrected sentences or appropriate phrasing to ensure captions are not only visually appealing but also clear, easy to understand, and effective in conveying messages.  

Review

The study "Analisis Kesalahan Berbahasa pada Unggahan Caption Instagram Akun Pribadi, Bisnis, dan Publik Figur" addresses a highly relevant and timely topic concerning linguistic accuracy on social media platforms, specifically Instagram. The abstract clearly outlines the objective to analyze linguistic errors in captions across personal, business, and public figure accounts, which is a commendable scope that acknowledges the diverse uses of the platform. The focus on identifying errors in spelling, hyphens, capitalization, and word choice provides a concrete framework for analysis, promising insights into common pitfalls in digital communication. This research is particularly pertinent given the increasing reliance on Instagram for both personal expression and professional branding, where clear and correct language is paramount for effective messaging. While the premise is strong, the methodological details provided in the abstract raise some questions regarding the study's depth and generalizability. The data collection method, described simply as "taking screenshots of accounts with erroneous captions," suggests a non-systematic sampling approach, which may introduce selection bias. More critically, the research is stated to have found only "10 data points with numerous errors." This extremely small sample size significantly limits the ability to draw robust conclusions or generalize findings to the broader Instagram landscape or even to the specific categories of accounts examined. Although the analysis aims to identify and correct errors, the limited data points might not fully represent the spectrum or frequency of errors, thus potentially impacting the representativeness of the identified error types. Further elaboration on the selection criteria for these 10 data points would strengthen the methodological transparency. Despite the aforementioned methodological limitations, the study's core finding – that linguistic errors are prevalent across personal, business, and public figure accounts – offers an important preliminary observation. The abstract's intention to present errors with corrected sentences is valuable, as it not only highlights the problems but also provides practical solutions, aiming to ensure captions are "not only visually appealing but also clear, easy to understand, and effective in conveying messages." This practical application underscores the relevance of linguistic precision in digital communication. For future research, it would be highly beneficial to expand the sample size significantly, employ a more systematic data collection strategy, and perhaps delve into the *causes* behind these errors or their *impact* on audience perception and engagement. This would allow for a more comprehensive understanding of linguistic challenges in contemporary social media usage.
