KEDUDUKAN BAHASA JAWA RAGAM KRAMA PADA KALANGAN GENERASI MUDA: STUDI KASUS DI DESA RANDEGAN KECAMATAN DAWARBLANDONG, MOJOKERTO DAN DI DUSUN TUTUL KECAMATAN AMBULU, JEMBER

Abstract

Javanese language is highly praised for its cultural values deeply rooted in the structure and communicative usage of the language itself. The variation of krama in Javanese language reflects the wisdom of its society to honor and respect other people in a communication. Unfortunately, the language shift phenomenon seems unavoidable along with the major development in the global world. This research conveys the position of Javanese language among the youngsters’ communication choices. This is a case study conducted in two areas namely Desa Randegan and Dusun Tutul. The research shows that the use of Krama has significantly shifted to Bahasa Indonesia due to children’s billinguality, the advance in media and technology, and inability of the learning process at schools to accommodate the communicative use of bahasa Jawa.
