Abstract

Bòsò Walikan Malangan ([bɔsɔ waliʔan malaŋan]), hereafter Walikan, is an Indonesian youth language that originated as a secret code among guerilla fighters. Walikan in Javanese means ‘reversed’, as it mixes words originating from the Malangan dialect of Javanese as well as the local variety of Indonesian and reverses them into distinct lexical forms that cannot easily be deciphered by non-speakers of Walikan. This paper examines the different reversal processes through the lenses of phonology and phonotactics. We analyze a selection of Walikan words pronounced by two speakers of Walikan. The results show that word reversal in general complies with Javanese phonology and phonotactics. Our research is intended to serve as a springboard towards a fuller understanding of the reversal rules in Walikan.
