Abstract

Youth languages in Southeast Asia are underdescribed, despite their prominence throughout the region (Djenar 2015; Hoogervorst 2014, 2015). This paper1 presents an ethnographic description of a youth language practice in Malang, East Java, Indonesia. The language is called Boso Walikan Malangan (/bɔsɔ waliʔan malaŋan/). The word Walikan ('to inverse') refers to the reversal process applied to certain words, which results in disguised word-formations undecipherable by outsiders. Using the Total Linguistic Fact (TLF) framework (Silverstein 1985), this paper discusses Walikan as a sociolinguistic practice involving four related aspects: form, use, ideology, and domain. By using the TLF framework, Walikan is analyzed from a synchronic and diachronic point of view, incorporating the elements of time and social space. This research enhances our understanding of youth culture as well as the nature of language and communication in social context.
