Abstract

This paper constitutes an initial examination of the applicative/causative suffix -ge in Tapus, a divergent traditional Minangkabau variety spoken in rural Western Sumatra. Our aim is to show that the similarities and divergences from Standard Indonesian of traditional rural varieties provides insight into the properties of “Indonesian-type” languages in general. The distribution of applicatives/causatives in Tapus is interesting for several reasons. First, applicative/causative suffixes in Indonesian-type languages are well-known for the use of the same morphology for a variety of purposes. The fact that a single form is used for these different functions raises the question of whether the applicative/causative morphemes are two (or more) distinct morphemes or whether the form has a unitary linguistic function. We will show that the unitary analysis for causative and benefactive uses of the applicative/causative suffix cannot account for the data in Tapus. Another area of interest with regard to this suffix relates to constraints on movement.  We show that the Extreme Locality Hypothesis cannot account for the Tapus data based on the interaction between the applicative/causative suffix and information question formation/relativization. Finally, we demonstrate that Pylkkänen’s typology of applicatives makes incorrect predictions with respect to the interpretations available for benefactives in Tapus and other Indonesian-type languages, showing the necessity for an expanded taxonomy of applicative forms. Our general conclusion is that the detailed examination of grammatical constructions in divergent Malayic varieties leads to new and surprising insights into the grammatical profile of Indonesian-type languages.

Abstract

Malay(ic) languages of Sumatra show a high level of internal diversity. Linguists are only beginning to understand the ways in which these languages differ from one another, and what this divergence tells us about the origins and development of Malay. This paper describes an important morphological phenomenon in Sumatran Malay: morphological word-shape alternations. Kerinci, a Malayic language spoken in the Bukit Barisan range in Jambi, exemplifies this phenomenon. Kerinci exhibits a morphological alternation which is realized in the final –V(C) of roots (e.g. ataʔ ‘roof’ vs. atək ‘the/its roof’) (Prentice & Usman, 1978; Steinhauer & Usman, 1978) inter alia). Previous studies have concluded that word-shape alternations of this sort are attested only in a subregion of Kerinci (cf. Usman, 1988). In this paper, we show that word-shape alternations resembling those found in Kerinci can be found sporadically throughout a large region of Sumatra, in both Minangkabau and Traditional Malay varieties. We describe these phenomena, and develop a historical account of their development. We conclude that word-shape alternations developed independently in several varieties as a result of shared prosodic properties.

The method of community service activities is online basic level conversational English training using drill techniques. The materials are arranged according to language functions and the participants are divided into small groups of four to six people.

Abstract

Indonesia is a multilingual country with over 700 languages spoken by various cultural groups. Language shift and maintenance are two common and interesting phenomena to study in a multilingual society. Studies focusing on language on shift and maintenance in Indonesia have been conducted for two decades. Nevertheless, limited studies have been found regarding the language of co-existing ethnics who have lived in Indonesia for more than two generations, such as Arabic or Chinese. Chinese descents in Indonesia speak Chinese languages/dialects, such as Hakka, Teochew, and Hokkien (CHL, hereafter). This study aims to explore the CHL language shift and maintenance in the Chinese community and the contributing factors to the phenomena. This research adopted a mixed-method approach. The data were collected from 100 respondents who reside in West Jakarta and North Jakarta. The data were collected using a questionnaire adapted from Cohn et al. (2013) and Ryan and Giles’s (1982) language indexes and in-depth interviews. The questionnaire data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The result showed that the majority of Jakartan Chinese Indonesian have shifted to Indonesian, and only 9% of them still fully maintain the use of CHL in the family. English is more frequently used and mixed with Indonesian. This study found that the contributing factors of language shift are the language’s domains and functionality and the family background. It was found that parents’ place of birth or origin, parents’ first language, parents’ language attitude and policy at home, the language contact with the extended family, and how the extended family values CHL are influential for language shift. The result implied an alarm for CHL loss in the Jakartan Chinese community.

Abstract

The Borobudur Temple is one of Indonesia’s tourist destinations, which has long been famous among local and foreign tourists. The Indonesian government has even designated the Borobudur compound as a super-priority tourist destination. However, the existence of the Borobudur Temple has not had much effect on the welfare of the people who live in the surrounding villages. This community service activity was conducted to build the capacities of young people in some villages around the Borobudur Temple area. This activity aimed to improve the soft skills of young people. More specifically, it was designed to guide them to be aware of themselves and their communities, gain the skills to communicate with others, identify and map the potentials and challenges in their communities, and develop action plans for their communities. This program was carried out in the form of a workshop, adapting the active citizen modules developed by the British Council. The participants claimed that this workshop was useful for them, especially in making them more confident, helping them realize their existence, increasing their ability to communicate with others and build networks with people from different backgrounds, enhancing their understanding of their community and environments, and raising their motivation in making positive social changes.
