Abstract:
One of the media used by teenagers to greet each other is electronic sports.
Through e-sports, teenagers wave greetings and express their thoughts in words or
sentences. The greeting is closely related to the name and designation used to address
people. This qualitative descriptive study discusses e-sports players' greetings,
especially those on the E-sport Podcast YouTube channel. The data were collected from
five transcribed videos by note-taking. Then, they were analyzed using the theory of
greeting according to the theory of Crystal (1997) and Kridalaksana (1980). Finally, the
data were presented in tabulation for easy understanding. Based on the data analysis,
the greetings used by e-sport players include personal names, pronouns, other nouns,
kinship, and other words to show annoyance or anger.
