This study aims to describe the vlog register in Bahasa Indonesia (BI) in the light of Ethnolinguistics. The vlog (video blogging) being viral almost when the young speakers of Bahasa Indonesia doing a new branch of communication to express their identity. In addition to the unstandard grammar, the speaking youth of BI produced new lexicons that presented in their Vlog, such as kabz, jones, tamvan, pemverani, gaes, haters, baper, kepo, YXGQ, wagelasih, apeng, dan cmiiw. Describing the vlog register in Bahasa Indonesia, this research (a) used simak method (or observation method) on the data collection based on Blommaert's model (2013) from the source of spoken and of Bahasa Indonesia and (b) used padan method on the data analysis that accompanied by Biber and Conrad's framework (2009). This study, in particular, shows that vlog register in Bahasa Indonesia at least has three characteristics, namely (a) field, (b) linguistic features, and (c) functions. Generally, based on the ethnolinguistics identity theory (ELIT), those three characteristics interpreted as a marker of process on identity construction by the speaking youth facing the standard form of Bahasa Indonesia.References
