Levelling and differentiation form a dialectical process characterised by tension that emerges through positioning of the self and the addressee rela…

That’s how it is there: Place, self and others in Indonesian narrative
Recent sociolinguistic research on narrative has underlined the understanding of place as being both spatially defined and socially constituted through shared experience as well as contestation.

Two Indonesian…

Indonesian "Locative" Pronouns: Deictic or Anaphoric?
Indonesian distinguishes between three locative pronouns: sini 'here', situ 'there', and sana 'over there'. It has been argued that among these three pronouns, only sana can be used anaphorically. The middle category situ , although it cannot be used as an anaphor, has been argued to be the most neutral pronoun, in the sense that it has a wider distribution as a deictic: it can, for example, substitute for either of the other two pronouns where t…
