I classified the language used in the posts and comments on each Facebook group to capture the language repertoires of the Woirata people on social media. The data show that the Woirata community uses a different variety in different domains: formal Indonesian for obituaries and politics, local Malay (MTJ, or Far East Malay) for daily conversations and comments on politics, and Woirata for self-expressive comments. Younger users employ innovative orthography understood only among the younger MTJ users, boasting about their creativity. From the data, it can be seen that they have developed a new lingua franca on the Internet that can be defined as a new "writing orality".

In certain condition and situations, especially at school, they also use another variety of Indonesian, the Standard Indonesian. It is important to see how they use each variety in daily life, as reflected in their attitudes. This study examines these adolescents’ language attitudes through a questionnaire as the main instrument. The focus of this study is the Indonesia varieties, Standard Indonesian and Colloquial Jakarta Indonesian. Respondents in this study were students of a junior and a senior high school (N=604). The questionnaires were distributed at schools. Three items were examined: pride, importance of the variety, and intention to improve the variety. Data were analyzed quantitatively. The result shows that all respondents tended to have positive attitudes towards both varieties. Nevertheless, results from statistical analysis show several findings. In terms of ...

Jurnalisme lokal dicirikan oleh wilayah pemberitaan yang terbatas, sekaligus distribusi media massa cetak yang juga terbatas pada wilayah itu, dan pada umumnya kesederhanaan dalam usaha, seperti sarana kerja yang sederhana. Meskipun demikian, jurnalisme lokal berkembang mengikuti kemajuan zaman, seperti sarana penyampaian informasi yang saat ini tidak terbatas pada cetakan, tetapi juga dengan sarana teknologi informasi (media daring). Jurnalisme lokal berupaya bertahan hidup pada utamanya dengan memuat informasi yang unik tentang wilayah yang diinformasikan. Indonesia, yang kaya akan etnik, budaya, dan berbagai latar belakang masyarakat, menjadi tempat yang potensial bagi perkembangan jurnalisme lokal.

In certain condition and situations, especially at school, they also use another variety of Indonesian, the Standard Indonesian.

This study examines these adolescents' language attitudes through a questionnaire as the main instrument.

The result shows that all respondents tended to have positive attitudes towards both varieties. Nevertheless, results from statistical analysis show several findings. In terms of pride, importance, and respondents' intention for improvement, Standard Indonesian always had higher scores than those of Colloquial Jakarta Indonesian. This study also indicates that both varieties of Indonesian have their own status and function in school setting.

It has about 1,566 speakers. Taber (1993) suggests that there are 24 languages in Southwest Maluku of which 23 are Austronesian; Woirata is the only non-Austronesian language in the area. It is interesting to research in how far Woirata has been influenced by Austronesian languages. Because the Woirata and other people who live on Kisar Island, like the Meher, are using Melayu Tenggara Jauh (MTJ) as their lingua franca, one may expect deep language contact between Woirata and MTJ. This multilingual situation suggests a contact induced language change of Woirata, imposed by MTJ. This contribution aims to describe the causative constructions in Woirata and compare them with the counterpart constructions in MTJ and Meher.

It shows that notwithstanding their sometimes literate characteristics, storytelling in competitive contexts still follows strategies that are typical for oral performances. This paper questions in how far literate and narrative historiographies can and ought to be separated from each other in Southwest Maluku.
