This happen is working without any direction because of free-will of humanities.

The real fact happens in a social media as the main digital platform giving the public comments. The social media is a device technology to connect people sharing the information in several platforms such as Facebook. WhatsApp. Telegram. Twitter, and so on (Indari & Cahyani Putri, 2. In addition. Social media needs to be disentranced, or able to facilitate asynchronous or non-live social engagement, and Internet-based, or online. Furthermore, social media have to be user-generated and interactive, which implies that its primary source of value must be user-to-user social Social media platforms enable users to broadcast interpersonal contact to enormous audiences, which is the final way that they are mass personal (Bayer et al. , 2. In the social media contains some of features, one of them is comment feature. This function is a place to leave the comment about an issue. The commenters are called netizens. According to (Achmad, 2. explains that nowadays we have two categorizes of people terms in the social aspects, citizens are people who live in the current location having communication in the real life social actions. Netizens are people who get connected each other in the digitalization namely using a social media platform. Social change as seen from the perspective of netizens, where social interactions and cultural developments have some changes occur fairly quickly and cause values and normal shifts. facts and phenomena give rise to new habits where social media interactions and online communities are more common. importance of good manners as internet evolves, norms also change. Netizens comments are expected to behave in every comment for several issues, but the problems come over the situation. Their comments react over capacity during making a comment especially the sensitive issue, hot issue, and the update issue. In the study case as a related study by (Hidayat et al. , 2. netizens comments happen in the political issue about three political figures namely Ridwan Jurnal Serunai Bahasa Inggris Vol 16. No. Oktober 2024 e-ISSN 2621-010X Kamil. Ganjar Pranowo, and Anies Baswedan. The current study looked at what people on social media had to say about posts made by Indonesia's three most well-liked governors: Ridwan Kamil. Anies Baswedan, and Ganjar Pranowo. The three discourse analysis paradigms of constructivism, social cognition, and positivism-empiricists were then applied to the examination of these remarks. According to this study, followers' opinions on the three governors' work ethics are typically positive. Negative remarks were frequently made by supporters whose political stance differs from the governors'. When combined, these results point to a role for social media in enhancing a politician's reputation (Hidayat et al. , 2. Based on the case, the netizens comments contain the impolite speech and this area is interested to analyze in sociolinguistics aspects especially in language attitude paradigm. Since linguistic attitude is one of the major research issues in different fields, there has been a lot of attention paid to the study over the years. One of the main subjects of a research project is attitude study. "The most distinctive and indispensable concept in contemporary social psychology" is how they go on to describe that Furthermore, the nature of language attitudes varies. Individuals exhibit a variety of attitudes, including attitudes towards language variety, attitudes towards learning a foreign language, attitudes towards minority and dominant languages, attitudes towards foreign and second languages, attitudes towards a particular language, etc. A particular type of attitude that has gained popularity is the attitude towards foreign language instruction in the classroom. Furthermore, as language attitude is one of the key components of the language teaching and learning process, understanding attitude is significant for pedagogical capital. Comprehending the attitudes of learners of foreign languages is crucial as it can yield valuable insights that enhance the quality of teaching and learning methodologies (Wati & Zulaikha, 2. Netizen Comments According to Sinaga, . says that the term "netizen," which combines the words "internet" and "citizen," describes people who are actively involved in online communities in the virtual world. Netizens engage in a wide range of activities, from leisurely conversations to activism advocating for change in both the virtual and real worlds. Author and internet pioneer Michael F. Hauben offered his observations on internet users in his article "The Net and Netizens: The Impact of the Net Has on People's Lives" during the mid-1990s, when the internet was still in its infancy. Hauben introduces readers to the 21st century in the first paragraph, calling them "netizens," people who live in this globally interconnected world made possible by the internet. All netizens have everyday lives that are characterized by communication, enjoyment seeking, and information access, just as their offline activities. They can openly express their thoughts and opinions and take part in a variety of activities thanks to the freedoms granted by Internet services allow people all around the world to freely express their In addition to providing a forum for online communication, social media, blogs, and video-sharing websites also aid in the spread of viral content. As a result, internet users have a great desire to maintain the openness and freedom of the internet. The netizen community is adamantly opposed to and rejects any attempts by governments to regulate internet policies. Language Attitude Language serves as a social tool for expressing one's self-identity. Language has occasionally been perceived as reflecting societal norms and pre-existing social divisions, according to Mesthrie et al. (Amin, 2. The idea that individuals speak the way they do can imply a form of social On the other hand, language has been perceived as rather potent, limiting the ideas and opinions of those who speak it. According to Kridalaksana in (Amin, 2. , people can examine language from two perspectives: the technical and practical. This will help them comprehend the definition of language in greater depth. Strictly speaking. Jurnal Serunai Bahasa Inggris Vol 16. No. Oktober 2024 e-ISSN 2621-010X language is a collection of meaningful sounds made by the vocal organs of humans. In the meantime, language serves as a useful sound system that the linguistic community employs that a person's attitude towards language can sustain its existence. However, language attitudes can also include social and psychological issues pertaining to language use in daily life, in addition to other languages and their speakers (Santello, in Amin, 2. The definition of attitude towards language and its relationship to language choice will be covered in the sections that follow. II. METHOD This study was used document analysis method focusing the netizen comments analysis in social media. One method of qualitative research that has frequently been underutilized is document analysis (Merriam & Tisdell, in Morgan, . Qualitative researchers typically want to engage more actively in field research, which is why they choose to employ other approaches, like interviews, over document analysis. Because they are ignorant of the potential benefits of this method, some researchers could decide not to analyze papers (Merriam & Tisdell, in Morgan, 2. In addition to possibly preventing researchers from acquiring the necessary abilities for carrying out this kind of research, the paucity of literature on the subject probably plays a role in the lack of awareness. Qualitative research, on the other hand, focuses on how individuals understand their experiences and construct the world rather than emphasizing the use of statistics. Studies of this kind are frequently made with the intention of examining hidden meaning in the data (Merriam & Tisdell, in Morgan, 2. Descriptive research can also be done using qualitative methods. In these kinds of investigations, researchers seek out explicit meaning in the data rather than concentrating on deciphering latent meaning. Instead of offering an analysis of the data extracts, they use them as instructive examples for these in daily life and as a communication tool amongst members of society. One of the most important things about a language is its attitude (Elyana, in Amin, 2. The reason for this is kinds of investigations (Braun & Clarke, in Morgan, 2.
