Language, Identity, and Marginality in Indonesia: The Changing Nature of Ritual Speech on the Island of Sumba - Studies in the Social and Cultural Foundations of Language
Kuipers, Joel C. (George Washington University, Washington DC)
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.
