Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Owner's bookplate inside front cover. Book is in excellent condition. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. The rapid spread of Indonesian as the national language of Indonesia has diminished the significance of local languages. On the island of Sumba, this shift has displaced a once vibrant tradition of ritual poetic speech, but has also given rise to new and hybrid forms of poetic expression. This book analyzes language change in relation to political marginality, revealing that political coercion or cognitive process of "style reduction" may offer a partial explanation, but equally important is the role of linguistic ideologies.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Indonesia's policy since independence has been to foster the national language. In some regions, local languages are still political rallying points, but their significance has diminished, and the rapid spread of Indonesian as the national language of political and religious authority has been described as the 'miracle of the developing world'. Among the Weyewa, on the island of Sumba, this shift has displaced a once vibrant tradition of ritual poetic speech, which until recently was an important source of authority, tradition, and identity. But it has also given rise to new and hybrid forms of poetic expression. This first study to analyse language change in relation to political marginality argues that political coercion or cognitive process of 'style reduction' may partially explain what has happened, but equally important in language shift is the role of linguistic ideologies. The spread of the national language in Indonesia has threatened local languages. On Sumba a tradition of ritual poetic speech has waned, although new hybrid forms of poetic expression are emerging. Political coercion is a partial explanation, but so is the role of linguistic ideologies. This item is printed on demand.
