Chapter I Introduction CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Every country has a national language, so does Indonesia whose people come from different ethnic groups both natives such as Balinese and Javanese and non-natives such as Arabs, Indians, and Chinese. Those ethnic groups have different cultures and usually mother tongues as well. It is in the point of view of these varieties, that finally Bahasa Indonesia is chosen among a number of its dialects to be the national language and the means of communication among those ethnic groups to unite and reduce the diversity. In addition, it serves as the symbol of the nationality of Indonesian people. Regarding its function as the mean of communication among the ethnic groups of Indonesia, Kridalaksana (1978) states that in practice there are two kinds of Bahasa Indonesia. The first one is standard or formal Bahasa Indonesia which holds a prestige as it is not spoken in daily conversations. This variety is used by highly educated people such as the government officers and 2 in formal situations such as in lectures, speeches, and teachings at schools and universities. Nevertheless, it is also used in formal correspondences like application letters. The second kind is the informal or non-standard Bahasa Indonesia which is used in informal situations like daily conversations among friends, intimates and in personal letters. From the statement above, it is clearly seen that actually the variety of Bahasa Indonesia which serves as the national language is the standard one for the reason of its prestige and characteristics. The standard Bahasa Indonesia is considered as the good and correct variety. That is why , it is indispensable for the Indonesians to have the proficiency of speaking the language. The government has been trying very hard to introduce it to all the people. However, the effort has not been very successful yet. The first reason is, many Indonesians still miss school . It is proved by the fact that in 1994 there is about 25% of Indonesians who cannot even read and write, whereas schools and universities are the places where people can get the proficiency of speaking the variety. Second, people tend to choose to speak their own local languages, dialects, or mother tongues as they feel more convenient with them rather than standard Bahasa Indonesia. So, those varieties may influence the standard Bahasa Indonesia. In the Javanese language, "ndek ngisor dewe (the one at the bottom)", for example, is translated into "yang bawah sendiri (the lowest one)" in Bahasa Indonesia instead of the correct standard Bahasa Indonesia "yangpaling bawah (the lowest one)". 3 As one of the ethnic groups of Indonesia, the Chinese also have more or less similar situation or even worse. The Chinese who are new comers if compared to the Dutch colony and historically had been limited their mingling with the natives by the Dutch government, made them have their own living style, culture and mother tongue (Willmot, 1960: 59-60). The mother tongue that the Chinese speak (later it is called Bahasa Cina Peranakan) is actually influenced by a number of other languages like Bahasa Indonesia, Javanese, English, Mandarin, Hokkian, Dutch etc. (Oetomo, 1984; Oka, 1987). The society consider their language is bad, disorder, and even destructive to Bahasa Indonesia (Oka ,1987). The words such as "bokgini (don't be like this)", "bok gitu (don't be like this)", "ini Jepang punya (it's Japan's)" which are commonly heard by the society, cause a negative opinion toward these people. The people assume Bahasa Cina Peranakan as the sign of exclusivity or a "mark" of them than accept it as one of the ethnic dialects of Bahasa Indonesia (Samsuri 1985:27). It all starts with this negative thinking that the writer would like to examine the proficiency of Bahasa Indonesia of both the Chinese groups (Peranakans and Totoks) and the Javanese. Hopefully the findings of the study will be able to prove whether the negative thinking is reasonable or not. 2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Referring to the background of the problem above, the writer has some questions that she wants to answer, that is : 4 1. Of the three groups of respondents - Javanese, Chinese Peranakans, and Chinese Totoks - which one has the highest level of proficiency in the use of standard Bahasa Indonesia? 2. In their use of non-standard Bahasa Indonesia, what typical differences (if any) exist among the three groups ? 3. What social background may contribute to the differences in the linguistic output produced by the three different groups of respondents ? 3. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The purpose of this study are to know both their ability in using standard Bahasa Indonesia as well as to know the factors that affect their use of Bahasa Indonesia. 4. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY In relation to the purpose of the study (1.3.), the result of this research will, firstly, uncover the ability of some Petra Christian University students who mostly have Chinese background. This can be an input especially for lecturers of Bahasa Indonesia and for other lecturers of Petra Christian University about the real ability of the students of Bahasa Indonesia. Hopefully, it can in turn help them to get rid of bad prejudice toward Chinese Indonesians who are often considered "exclusive" in their language use. 5 Secondly, by finding out the factors that affect their level of ability in using Standard Bahasa Indonesia, it is expected that those who are involved at Petra Christian University and common people can understand the reason so that they are hopefully able to behave more wisely to these ethnic groups. 5. SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS This is a sociolinguistic research which deals with the use of standard Indonesian among students at Petra Christian University. However, in this study the writer will limit herself only to the vocabulary the students use. 6. KEY TERMS 6.1. Ethincity • Javanese are the natives of Java and those whose grandparents and parents were born and live in Java. • Chinese Peranakans (CP) are those whose grandparents and parents were born in Indonesia and do not speak any varieties of the Chinese language. • Chinese Totoks (CT) are those whose grandparents were born in China but their parents were born in Indonesia and speak one of the varieties of the Chinese language. 6 Language • Standard Bahasa Indonesia is formal Indonesian that follows the rules of standard Indonesian as stated in Tata Bahasa Baku Bahasa Indonesia and Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia and used in formal situations. • Non-standard Bahasa Indonesia is informal Indonesian that is used in daily conversation in informal situations. • Lexical is of the vocabulary of the language (contrasted with grammatical). • Bahasa Cina Peranakan is the mother tongue of the Chinese Peranakans (Oka, 1987) and the camaraderie of both Chinese Peranakans and Totoks in informal situations (Oetomo, 1984). • Language proficiency is a person's proficiency in using a language for a specific purpose (Jack Richard, et. al.). .

These life stories represent both postcolonial experiences and the Cold War politics in Indonesia. The migration of Chinese Indonesians since the beginning of the twentieth century has had long history, however, most of the previous literature has focused on the experiences of the “Peranakan” group who are not representative of various other groups of Chinese Indonesian migrants who have had different experiences in making their journey to the Netherlands. This paper will present two stories as a parallel to the more commonly known narratives of the “Peranakan” experience. KEYWORDS September 30th Movement; migration; Chinese Indonesians; cultural revolution; China; Curacao; the Netherlands. 1.

    Chinese Southern Diaspora Studies , Volume 3, 2009 南方华裔研究杂志, 第第第三第三三三卷卷卷卷, 2009 Education, Language Use and Shifting Identities among Ethnic Chinese Indonesians ©2009 Francisca HANDOKO 1 Introduction Of all the peoples who have settled in the Indonesian islands over the last centuries, ethnic Chinese and their descendants form the largest group today. Issues regarding their political status, social and economical involvement, their assimilation into the host country, their education, and so on, have generated controversy and attracted much scholarly attention, from Dutch colonial times to the present. Building on existing scholarship, this research note traces changes to the education of ethnic Chinese 2 in Indonesia, especially in Surabaya, over the past century. It considers how political transformations and outside influences have together affected educational and language policies and caused changes in language use and ethnic identity among the Chinese minority. It concludes with a discussion of the impact of these changes on identity formation among young ethnic Chinese nowadays, with supporting evidence drawn from my recent research in Surabaya. Before going further, it seems useful to summarise briefly the various categories that I will use in this note, and which have been applied to Indonesian Chinese both by themselves and others, during the twentieth century. Although most Indonesians have tended to see the Chinese as a single homogenous community, in reality the Chinese minority was historically far more diverse, and is still today divided into a number of subgroups, as scholarly research has long shown. Suryadinata (1976: 770, 1978: 142, 2002: 59), for instance, found the Chinese in Indonesia heterogeneous and complex, with contemporary differences stemming from the provenance of ancestral immigrants, early settlement patterns, cultural orientation, religion, social class, etc.

  • Multinational Food Heritage in Malaysia: Case of Penang According to Japan Foundation Grant for Field Research on Heritage Touri
    Multinational Food Heritage in Malaysia: Case of Penang According to Japan Foundation Grant for Field Research on Heritage Tourism program which was held on the 14th - 18th September 2017 in Penang, we had a chance to visit Penang and field research under the theme of Food Heritage. As we are students of Chiangmai University, we choose to study about food in Penang which are Malay food, Peranakan food, Indian food and western food. Image 1: the map of Malaysia (http://www.abeereducation.com/why-malaysia) Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country with 330,803 km2 total area (Wikipedia, “Malaysia”). From image 1, it can see that Malaysia consists of two main parts: Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia. Peninsular Malaysia is the main land of Malaysia. It is bordered by Thailand at the North and Singapore at the south and it shares maritime borders with Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia. East Malaysia locates on Borneo Island, so sometimes it is called Malaysian Borneo. East Malaysia is bordered by Indonesia and Brunei and it shares maritime borders with Indonesia, Brunei, Philippines, and Vietnam. Sabah and Sarawak, the two largest states are in East Malaysia. Eventhough Peninsular Malaysia is 40% of the total country area, it is regared as the main land of Malaysia (Thomas Leinbach). It is the location of the capital city, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya which is the seat of the federal government. Malaysia is a multi–ethnic, multicultural, and multilingual country because of coexistence of various ethnic groups in the country. There are four main ethnic groups of people in Malaysia: Malay, Chinese, indigenous and Indian.

Specific reference is made to conditions in Singapore and its minority community of Eurasians who tend to be ovedooked in comparison to the three main races of Chinese, Malays, and Indians. Globalization and intemational tourism, the latter a cause and consequence of the former, are seen to have the capacity to both threaten and help safe- guard ethnic cultures. Eurasians receive comparatively little attention in destination promotion and this is indicative of the small size of the population and the hybrid nature of the culture.
