Slang is used by junior high school teenagers to adults approximately 30 years old in age. This research discusses slang in Japanese, called 若者言葉 (wakamono kotoba) by taking data from Twitter. The theory used is Tsujimura’s theory for word formation and Sutedi’s theory for the types of 若者言葉 (wakamono kotoba). The aim of this research is to describe the various types of 若者言葉 (wakamono kotoba) and the forming process of 若者言葉 (wakamono kotoba) which appears in the posts from young Japanese people on Twitter social media in 2023. The data analysis method used is the distributional method. The data obtained was 21 data in which results shows that the types of 若者言葉 (wakamono kotoba) contained in young Japanese’s posts on Twitter were abbreviated words, abbreviated words with letters of the alphabet, imitation words, languages used by women, and foreign languages. When compared with standard Japanese, the difference in 若者言葉 (wakamono kotoba) lies in the morphological word formation process which consists of affixation, word borrowing, word fragmentation, word combination, and reduplication.
