Surveys, observations, and interviews were carried out to elicit relevant data. Qualitative data was collected using an observational framework. The findings revealed that three types of code-switching known as tag switching, inter-sentential switching, and intra-sentential switching were predominant in classroom communication between students and between students and the instructor. The study was also able to ratify several systematic and predictive reasons for code-switching in the classroom. The study also found that English was the dominant language of communication while code switching was used to convey ideas in specific situations and to enhance solidarity in the first language.

Throughout 29 years of Brunei Darussalam’s independence, lots of the literary works produced in that particular century reflects the nation’s noble values and cultural traditions that support the nation’s philosophy of Malay Islamic Monarchy (Melayu Islam Beraja – MIB) As the nation’s philosophy, MIB is also the pillar of Brunei Darussalam, a Malay nation based on the principles of Islam. This concept had long been in existence; however it was only accentuated on 01 January 1984 during the proclamation of Brunei Darussalam’s independence. This concept is often uplifted as the soul in literary works’ creation especially in poetry as an attempt to generate community thinking and appreciation towards the concept. Most of the creative works, especially poems that was produced in Brunei Darussalam are in the form of community moral development by instilling the sense of monotheism to Allah and inculcate sacred life values based on Islam.

  • Translation in Brunei Darussalam
    Actes. volum II. 9/12/97 12:33 P‡gina 663 Actes del II Congrés Internacional sobre Traducció, UAB 663-685 Translation in Brunei Darussalam Brian D. Smith Traductor 1. INTRODUCTION Brunei Darussalam is a small and wealthy Malay Islamic sultanate on the North West coast of Borneo. Once, the dominant power of the Borneo coast as far north as the Philippines Brunei saw its power and territory reduced in the 19th century, when external pressures forced the loss of Sarawak to Rajah Brooke and Sabah to the British North Borneo Company. In the late 19th century a steady deterioration in economic and political stability led the British Government to impose a resident in 1906 with authority to reorganize the administration and revenue systems and to provide a measure of stable government. The discovery of oil in the late 1920s resulted in great prosperity, though only slow national development. After the Japanese occupation, which passed relatively calmly for the local population, economic development gradually gathered pace. Internal independence came in 1959 and full independence in 1984. National wealth consists mainly of oil revenues, though there are slow, but determined efforts to diversify into commerce and industry so as to counteract the exhaustion of oil resources expected in the next century. Recent national development plans have placed emphasis on the development of human resources through education and training to support diversification. The most striking factor in Brunei’s development has been the transition from absolute poverty at the turn of the century, through a period of gradual increase in prosperity until the 1950s, when there were still few roads, little education and only basic infrastructure, to a takeoff in the 1960s when Brunei rapidly became a modern society with a high standard of living for the majority of the population.

  • Mother Tongues and Languaging in Malaysia: Critical Linguistics Under Critical Examination
    This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Cambridge University Press, Language in Society, available at https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/language-in- society/article/mother-tongues-and-languaging-in-malaysia-critical-linguistics-under-critical- examination/63E9315695008B98517AA546BF6C5F54 Mother tongues and languaging in Malaysia: Critical linguistics under critical examination Nathan John Albury Abstract This article brings the critical turn in linguistics - with its current scepticism of essentialised languages and bias for languaging - under critical evaluation. It does so by bringing it face- to-face with the local-knowledge turn in sociolinguistics that emphasises local knowledge, held by language users themselves, to understand sociolinguistic phenomena through local epistemologies. This paper analyses whether and how epistemologies inherent to language, mother tongue and languaging hold relevance in metalinguistic talk in Malaysia. Focus group discussions with ethnic Malay, Chinese and Indian youth revealed that languaging through Bahasa Rojak is already firmly embedded in local epistemology for communicating across ethnolinguistic divides and fostering interethnic inclusiveness. However, an essentialised view of language also remains vital to any holistic sociolinguistic research in Malaysia in culturally-specific ways that do not conflict with languaging. The paper especially supports arguments that we ought not to disregard mother tongues in the interests of critical linguistics. Key words Critical linguistics, Mother tongue, Languaging, Linguistic culture, Malaysia, Folk linguistics 1 This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Cambridge University Press, Language in Society, available at https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/language-in- society/article/mother-tongues-and-languaging-in-malaysia-critical-linguistics-under-critical- examination/63E9315695008B98517AA546BF6C5F54 Introduction Sociolinguistics has evolved to an era where the term mother tongue can raise eyebrows.

  • Broadening Language Use Options in Formal Discourse: the Malaysian Experience
    Intercultural Communication Studies XI: 3, 2002 R. Jacobson Broadening Language Use Options in Formal Discourse: The Malaysian Experience Rodolfo Jacobson The University of Texas at San Antonio Abstract The present paper will report on the ongoing research on “codeswitched speech in formal settings in Malaysia”, a project funded by the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka of Kuala Lumpur, and argue in particular on: 1. the settings where Bahasa alone is the appropriate choice; 2. the settings where codeswitched speech is an acceptable medium of communication; 3. the kind of nativization of English that can be detected in the stretches of English within the code-switched variety. The rationales why monolingual or bilingual discourse is chosen will be examined and the reasons will be explored why a form of English could survive in Malaysia in spite of the official pressure that Bahasa be the only means of communication at the official level. 1. Introduction A project designed to chart codeswitching practices in Malaysia has just been completed under the auspices of that country’s Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka and is described in a yet unpublished manuscript entitled The broadening spectrum of a Malaysian experience: From codemixing to codeswitching. Some of the features identified there are worthwhile reporting as they mark Malaysian codeswitching as a unique language mixing technique, quite different from similar language use patterns elsewhere. Some of these unique traits are as follow: • Codeswitched discourse – whether Malay or English functioning as matrix language – is not restricted to the informal medium of communication and 25 Intercultural Communication Studies XI: 3, 2002 R.

  • Loanwords in Translating Malaysian Bank Brochures
    Current Issues in Language Studies 1 (2009)/N.Husin/ Loanwords in Translating Malaysian Bank Brochures LOANWORDS IN TRANSLATING MALAYSIAN BANK BROCHURES Norhazlina Husina Abstract Brochure is a very effective mean of promoting goods or services. International relationships between countries and the issues of borderless world now lead to the fact that more than one language is used in a brochure. This trend makes it even more important for translations to be able to carry the meanings from the original text. Analysis done on Malaysian bank brochures shows that most of the brochures used two or more languages. Research also shows that borrowing is the most frequently used method in translating the bank brochures from English into Malay language at word level. Keywords Bank Brochures; Loanwords; Effects of Loanwords. 1. Inreoduction In this modern era, translation can no longer be regarded as a minor industry that focuses only on literature and religious texts. Translation has begun to reflect its multi-functional attributes. Previously, translation was generally used to translate literary materials and epics. However, it has now taken a wider context. There is no denying that translation is now used in communication, political and commercial aspects, so to speak.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH BAHASA ROJAK IN MALAYSIAN LITERATURE AS A CRITIQUE ON POSTCOLONIAL IDENTITY AND POLITICS KAREN SIN LI HOR SPRING 2019 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Economics and English with honors in English Reviewed and approved* by the following: Janet Neigh Associate Professor of English, English Thesis Supervisor Craig Warren Professor of English, English Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The intermingling of the variety of cultures and the legacy of colonialism in Malaysia has produced the Malaysian vernacular, bahasa rojak. While many Malaysians identify with this speech variation, most Malaysians stigmatize bahasa rojak as informal and use it as a measurement of intelligence, professionalism, and nationalism. Two Malaysian authors, Salleh Ben Joned and Jamal Raslan, have challenged these stigmas by producing poems in bahasa rojak, they are “Malchin Testament” by Joned and “Words” by Raslan. Their works explore the themes of language purity, linguistic identity, and the institutional enforcement of a national language in both a postcolonial and a contemporary perspective. This thesis investigates the political intentions for using bahasa rojak in Malaysian literature and its importance to Malaysian linguistic identity. By doing so, this thesis provides a Malaysian and multilingual perspective on postcolonial poetry and contributes to the scholarship on Malaysian
