Abstract

Central Java–West Java border communities live in a multicultural environment where Javanese and Sundanese cultures meet, forming distinctive multilingual communication practices. The use of Javanese, Sundanese, and Indonesian in everyday life functions not only as a means of communication, but also as a representation of the community's social identity. This study aims to analyze the multilingual communication practices of Central Java–West Java border communities and to explain the role of language in representing community social identity. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature review method supported by social-contextual reflection. Data were obtained from various scientific sources discussing multilingual communication, social identity, intercultural communication, bilingualism, and multilingualism. The analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, theme categorization, meaning interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that border communities flexibly use Javanese, Sundanese, and Indonesian according to the context of interaction, social relations, and communication needs. The practices of code switching and code mixing are important parts of daily communication as forms of social and cultural adaptation. In addition, language use functions as a symbol of cultural identity, a means of identity negotiation, and a mechanism of social integration in a multicultural environment. The findings affirm that multilingual communication is a representation of dynamic social identity and reflects the ability of border communities to maintain social harmony amid cultural diversity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of multiculturalism in supporting economic development and local identity in Brebes Regency. The study employed a literature review method with a descriptive qualitative approach through data collection from journals, books, government documents, and other relevant references. The results show that the cultural diversity of Brebes society, particularly the interaction between Javanese and Sundanese cultures, plays an important role in forming social capital that supports community economic activities. In addition, local identities such as shallots and Brebes salted eggs have developed as cultural symbols and regional economic strengths through SMEs, trade, and the creative economy. However, globalization and modernization pose challenges to the sustainability of local culture. Therefore, strengthening local culture and developing culture-based creative economy are necessary to support sustainable regional development.
