Structure and Style in Javanese: A Semiotic View of Linguistic Etiquette
In Search of Middle Indonesian: Linguistic Dynamics in a Provincial Town
The aspects of a broader dynamic of sociolinguistic contact in Kupang are described from three related angles. Most obviously and concretely, 'contact' occurs between Indonesian and Kupang Malay when people 'mix' them in talk. It draws on recordings and transcriptions of casual conversation in Kupang to foreground two such contact phenomena that speak to these larger questions. This chapter involves a biographical approach, considering the ways t…

Going 'Un-Native' in Indonesia (n)
Indonesian is the national language of the world's fourth most populous coun try. Although it has 200 million speakers, it is little known beyond its borders and a narrow circle of area specialists. To reduce its obscurity in the global scheme of things, I will show here how it has developed into an unusually national but 'un-native' language. A brief sketch of the language's history high lights commonsense ideas about language, identity, and nat…

Getting Language Rights: The Rhetorics of Language Endangerment and Loss
Endangerment, loss, death, and related terms are increasingly familiar in descriptions of sociolinguistic change now occurring at an unprecedented scale because of forces of globalization. They can serve both as names for shared concerns of linguists and anthropologists, and as descriptions of otherwise different scenes of social encounter, because they are subject to multiple uses and interpretations. This article focuses on tacit, enabling assu…
Colonial Linguistics
Academic knowledge of human linguistic diversity owes much to descriptions written, over four centuries ago, under the aegis of European colonial regimes around the world. This comparative review considers a small part of that body of linguistic descriptive work relative to its conditions of production: authorial interests that animated such writings, ideological and institutional milieux that enabled and shaped them, and the authoritative charac…
Ideology
Shifting Languages
Indonesian is the national language of a vast, plural nation state, the world's fourth-largest country with a population of over 200 million. Although its use is growing rapidly, and is now spoken by nearly everyone over the age of six, it has almost relatively few native speakers. This remarkable growth, unprecedented in the development world, is largely due to the forceful presence of state institutions that use, promote, and disseminate a lang…
State speech for peripheral publics in Java
Since the 1965 bloodbath which ended its failed experiment with constitutional democracy, Indonesia has been ruled by a highly centralized, military-dominated government which has moved unilaterally to modernize the country's economic infrastructure and indoctrinate Indonesians into the ways and sentiments of its own version of nationalism. This self-named New Order has quashed all opposition to its top-down implementation of policies which have,…

Continuity and Change in Indonesian Language Development
The development of Indonesian as a new national language is closely linked to the development of Indonesia as a new nation, but the Indonesian language has only rarely been studied as a part of larger patterns of social and cultural change. An overview of the language situation in Jakarta, Indonesia's center and capital, highlights linguistic continuities and discontinuities between that modern speech community and the traditional culture of the …

Self and self-conduct among the Javanese priyayi elite
Most students of Javanese culture and society have used a few crucial native terms and concepts to analyze aspects of traditional etiquette, statecraft, and mysticism. A unitary approach to priyayi ethics, aesthetics, and power is developed here by synthesizing themes common to earlier treatments. Several points of disagreement with Geertz's (1960, 1973) descriptions are discussed in conclusion as a way of drawing out lexicographic aspects of the…

Speech in the Royal Presence: Javanese Palace Language
The Javanese speech levels have received considerable attention from linguists and lexicographers, but little has been written about a very specialized speech style used exclusively among the upper members of the priyayi elite, who once defined standard Javanese usage. Within the highest male priyayi circles of Yogyakarta and Surakarta (= Solo) a special was use, known the latter city as basa kedhaton, the former more generally as basa bagongan. …
