Abstract

This study aims to identify the language attitude tendencies of the millennial Sundanese-speaking group in the city of Bandung, along with the factors that influence them. A sociolinguistic approach using a mixed-methods design is employed to measure the dominance of language attitudes among millennials within various domains of their daily communication. This can indicate whether this generation is inclined to maintain their mother tongue or shift toward using other languages in their interactions. A total of 97 individuals responded to the distributed questionnaire; however, only 80 met the predetermined criteria. In this context, the researcher utilized a modified version of the instrument developed by Cohn (2013). In addition, interviews and observations were conducted to gain a deeper perspective on the language attitude tendencies of this millennial group. Millennials like Indonesian and international languages better than Sundanese online because they perceive them as more functional and global. However, though Sundanese use declines in everyday life, a significant majority of respondents are also concerned about language conservation and have encouraged electronic means of preserving Sundanese to thrive in new communication spaces. This study determines that while millennials are cognizant of Sundanese’s cultural and identity value, pragmatic limitations such as speech-level complexity and technological influence are contributing factors in its gradual decline. The findings emphasize the need for innovative strategies, including online content creation and policy implementation, to preserve the use and liveliness of Sundanese among the younger generations.

Abstract

This study examines gender-based language attitudes toward the Sundanese language among millennial speakers in Bandung, focusing on three dimensions: language loyalty, language pride, and awareness of language norms. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative data from structured questionnaires with qualitative insights from open-ended interviews. The sample consisted of male and female millennials aged 28–40. Results indicate that both male (82.40%) and female (81.09%) respondents demonstrate strong positive attitudes toward language loyalty, particularly in acknowledging the importance of mastering and transmitting Sundanese. Language pride was also high among males (67%) and females (69.55%), although some respondents questioned the effectiveness of maintaining Sundanese in digital spaces. Awareness of language norms emerged as the most challenging dimension, with lower positive responses from females (41%) compared to males (59%). Female respondents often shifted to Indonesian to maintain politeness norms, while males cited fluency challenges and limited digital use. The findings suggest that sustaining Sundanese vitality requires strategies that address both affective and practical aspects of language use, incorporating gender-sensitive approaches, vocabulary and register mastery, and inclusive digital engagement.Keywords: language attitude, gender, Sundanese language, millenials, sociolinguistics

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of code-mixing in language use in family interactions, both face-to-face and online, in Bandung. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection methods in the form of questionnaires distributed via WhatsApp messages and interviews. The results show that the dominant language used in family communication is a mixed language (Sundanese-Indonesian) with a percentage of 58.73%. The use of Indonesian is 26.19%, Sundanese is 15.08%, and English/foreign languages is only 0.57%. Mixed language is more widely used in daily communication, both within and outside the family. Code-mixing and code-switching are common phenomena in social interactions among multilingual communities in Bandung. In addition to the presence of virtual and face-to-face communication spaces that refer to language use, code-mixing and code-switching are also influenced by factors such as psychological, educational, and linguistic factors. This phenomenon not only reflects language habits but also the complexity of human interactions in multilingual societies.

Abstract

Self-repair is correcting a sentence's structure or meaning and rewording it to provide more specific information. Exploring the use of self-repair in learners is important as a potential indicator of language attrition in second-language learning. Self-repair can solve misunderstandings and clarify the speaker’s intention. It also allows students to repair their errors without the teacher’s involvement. Previous studies of self-repair in Japanese mostly investigate learners in formal institutions. However, research on using Japanese learners in non-formal institutions is limited. This study investigates the types and the changes in the self-repair of Indonesian Japanese learners’ speaking over a five-month training program in a Vocational Training Institution (LPK). This study used a mixed method, which combined quantitative and qualitative. Participants of this study were 10 Indonesian Japanese learners at an LPK in West Java, Indonesia. The instruments through a monologue speaking task were given at the beginning and end of the training program. The results showed that morphological change is the most frequent self-repair used by learners. However, the least used self-repair at the beginning and end of the training program was different. At the beginning of the training program, the least used self-repair was a phonological change, while at the end, there were phonological and lexical changes. This study showed a tendency for a reduced frequency of self-repair with increased proficiency. This study provided a learning strategy and contributed to developing a curriculum and teaching method that is more effective in improving learners' speaking skills, especially in preparing for work in Japan. However, this study only examines self-repair using monologue speaking tasks with familiar topics. Future studies should investigate self-repair using additional task designs to deepen insights into developmental patterns.
