- Abstract
Youth language is a language gap between the elders and the youths. The purpose of this research is to describe youth language or slang, which in Japanese is called wakamono kotoba. The data was collected from YouTube content because YouTube has a large number of viewers. Both Japanese and Indonesian contents included 48 youth slang. The technique of comparing each category and characteristic of Japanese and Indonesian youth slang was used as an analysis. The explanation of the forms of how youth language is formed will be put in the categories based on the youth language formations theory by Tanaka (1996). The result revealed that Indonesian youth slang formation was dominated by abbreviation formations. While in Japanese, it is dominated by the formation of flattening the accent and characterization. Moreover, Japanese youth languages have the addition of nouns and auxiliary verbs because the Japanese language has Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana letters.
