Abstract

Indonesian nationalism has significantly influenced its local languages. The national slogan Unity in Diversity has been appropriated throughout Indonesia, particularly in the Javanese province. Javanese language trends have thus become a model for a larger Indonesia, where Javanese people have negotiated their ethnic symbolisms to benefit local and national intentions. However, tensions have formed in Java between heritage, nationalism and neoliberal requirements, rendering Javanese language revitalization conflictual. This paper draws on an ethnography of Javanese urban centres, to describe patterns of language revitalization. Through a symbolic interactionist approach, the paper analyzes Javanese language ideologies and symbolisms documented in these urban centres, to describe emerging language practices. The discussion progresses to present how Bahasa Campur, a mix of several languages, has repositioned these language communities to negotiate their tensions. The paper contributes to anthropological scholarship by presenting how global and local forces alter the practices and symbolisms of languages communities.
爪哇语的张力:爪哇语在新旧象征中的复兴走向语言人类学
印度尼西亚的民族主义对其当地语言产生了重大影响。全国口号“多元统一”在印度尼西亚各地,特别是在爪哇省广为流传。因此,爪哇语的发展趋势已经成为一个更大的印度尼西亚的典范,在那里,爪哇人已经协商了他们的民族象征,以有利于地方和国家的意图。然而,爪哇在遗产、民族主义和新自由主义要求之间形成了紧张关系,使得爪哇语的复兴充满了冲突。本文利用爪哇城市中心的民族志来描述语言复兴的模式。通过符号互动的方法,本文分析了这些城市中心记录的爪哇语言意识形态和符号,以描述新兴的语言实践。讨论的进展是呈现了多种语言混合的马来语如何重新定位这些语言社区,以协商他们的紧张关系。本文通过展示全球和地方力量如何改变语言社区的实践和象征,为人类学学术做出了贡献。
