Abstract
This research article aims to study the appearance of the word /kɛɛŋ0/ and its semantic change in the context of political demonstrations during 2020-2021. Data are collected from online news headlines containing the word /kɛɛŋ0/ from 1st January 2020 to
31st December 2021, a total of 111 messages, and from 1st January 2023 to 1st October 2023, a total of 99 messages. The findings revealed that
the word /kɛɛŋ0/ on online news headlines contains five meanings. 1) /kɛɛŋ0/ as a noun means a dish cooked in water; it has various names according to the cooking method and seasonings. 2) /kɛɛŋ0/ as an adjective means about curry food. 3) /kɛɛŋ0/ as a verb means cause annoyance or do something with hidden intentions. 4) /kɛɛŋ0/ as an adjective means annoyed. 5) /kɛɛŋ0/ as a verb means intentionally annoying. This research study shows that using the word /kɛɛŋ0/ in terms of causing annoyance or doing something with hidden intentions appears to be widely used in the context of political demonstrations in 2020-2021. Later, using the word /kɛɛŋ0/ in these terms is decreased noticeably.
