Abstract

ABSTRACT Kuta in Bali, is an over developed urban city, observed through the emergence of outdoor signs along the main streets. However, there were no local laws to regulate the use of local language in public spaces, which led to the marginalisation of the Balinese language. In 2018, Bali’s Governor Regulation no. 80/2018 was issued to regulate the use of languages in Bali, exclusively to maintain local language in public spaces. This study is aimed at investigating the effect of the regulation on the use of local language in Kuta’s public spaces. The data were collected from six main streets in Kuta in January 2020. The result showed that the Balinese language had gained a prestigious position in public space with its addition on many outdoor signages. Conversely, this regulation is alleged to violate national law that obliges all public signs be in the Indonesian language and placed above local and or foreign languages on the same sign board.

在公共空间维护和振兴巴厘语

巴厘岛的库塔是一个过度发达的城市，通过主要街道上出现的户外标志可以观察到。然而，当地没有法律规范在公共场所使用当地语言，这导致巴厘语被边缘化。2018年，《巴厘总督条例》第80/2018号法令旨在规范巴厘岛的语言使用，专门用于在公共场所使用当地语言。本研究旨在探讨在库塔的公共空间中，当地语言的使用所受到的影响。这些数据是在2020年1月从库塔的六条主要街道收集的。结果表明，巴厘语在公共空间中获得了很高的地位，许多户外标牌上都有巴厘语。相反，据称这一规定违反了国家法律，该法律规定所有公共标志必须使用印尼语，并置于当地和/或外文以上的同一标志板上。
