- Abstract
Generations Z, known as iGenerations, are internet generations born in 1995–2010 and have a close life with technology and cyberspace based on Generation Theory by Graeme Codrington & Sue Grant-Marshal. This condition influences the personality, attitude, and behavior of Gen Z, especially the change of communication behavior. One of the elements of communication is the term of address, which is used by Gen Z in Minangkabau. Term of address in Minangkabau is known as Kato Nan Ampek. This research aims to determine whether there are changes and shifts in the use of the term of address in the kinship (Kato Nan Ampek) by Gen Z in Minangkabau. This study uses descriptive qualitative method. It analyzes the communication behavior of Gen Z in the digital era through WhatsApp interviews. The results show that the use of term of address among Gen Z in Minangkabau has faded. It can be seen from the comparison of the use of Term of Address (TOA) between the previous generations and Gen Z. These influenced by factors among others are the development of information technology, western culture, environment, and cross-cultural marriages.
