    This document discusses the relationship between language and ethnic identity. It states that language is a system of communication that defines ethnic groups, which are social categories of people who share ancestral, cultural, or national experiences. Some key factors that make up ethnicity are shared language, location, and sometimes religion. Ethnic groups can be multi-lingual, speaking multiple primary languages, or multi-ethnic where multiple ethnic groups share a common language. Variations in language can also develop within ethnic groups, such as different dialects of English in America.

    LANGUAGE

    AND ETHNIC
    IDENTITY

    IN THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER

     We talked about “ language behaviour” from the social point of view; 1)


    The function of the language in establishing social relationships; 2) Role
    played by the language in conveying information about the speaker.

    There is a close inter-relationship between the language and society .

     We also learned “variation in the way people use a language” due to


    social class differentiation.

     Today , we’re about to focus on language in relation to ethnic identity.


    LANGUAGE AND
    ETHNIC GROUP
     Language is a system that consists of the development,
    acquisition, maintenance and use of complex systems of
    communication, particularly the human ability to do so; and a
    language is any specific example of such a system.

     An ethnic group or ethnicity is a socially defined category of


    people who identify with each other based on common
    ancestral, social ,cultural or national experience.
    FACTORS THAT MAKE UP
    ETHNICITY

     Language and Location


    A people group description includes at least one language and
    at least one location, such as country as a country. a district or a town
    where they live.
     Religion
    Religion is one primary ethnic characteristic that may be strong
    that it cause a definite boundary within a group of person that are
    otherwise identical
    LANGUAGE AND ETHNICITY

     The relationship between language and self-identity is sometimes


    hard to discover. There are some examples of the relationship
    between language and other cultural characteristics:

    Multi-Lingual Ethnic Groups

     Multi-Ethnic language groups


    MULTI-LINGUAL ETHNIC
    GROUPS

     A multilingual ethnic group is an ethnic group which has


    various subgroups with different primary languages.These sub
    groups consider themselves one ethnic group due to shared or
    common ancestry, culture and/or history.
    MULTI-ETHNIC LANGUAGE
    GROUPS

     is a category of people who identify with each other based


    on similarities such as common language.

     Batak , Sunda, Jawa, and other ethic groups in indonesia


    use indonesian besides their local language
    ETHNIC GROUPS
    AND VARIANT OF LANGUAGE

     Ethnic groups in American use the same language: English,but with


    their own dialect.

     Approach development of this situation:

     Use standard language-elimination of non standard speech


    (non-standard dialect)

     Bidialectism

     Appreciation of dialect differences
