Abstract

This study aims at identifying the use of local language by the youth in Aceh, and the social identity represented by the youth through their decision in using or not using local language in public space in the city of Lhokseumawe and Takengon. Amongst local languages that are in use in the Province of Aceh are Acehnese language and Gayonese language. This study focuses on these two language speakers as they are two most spoken local languages in Aceh. The researchers investigate how the youth use these languages in coffee shops. Coffee shops are chosen in this study as the location of this research since they are considered public spaces that are modern and most visited by the youth. The methodology utilized in this research is descriptive qualitative. The data were collected through observations and in-depth interviews. The results of the study show that the use of local language in public space such as coffee shop is still less preferable amongst youth in Aceh. The study also found that there are several social identities represented by the youth through their decision of whether or not to use the local language in social interaction in coffee shops. First, there is the need to show the identity of city people, or “cool ” people by not choosing to speak the local language. Second, youth show particular identity by using local language to immerse into the group they are hanging out with. Third, in male speakers, the use of local language is more preferable compared to their female counterparts to show the flexibility in mingling with their peers.

亚齐青年与地方语言:公共空间中的社会认同
本研究旨在确定亚齐青年对当地语言的使用情况,以及青年通过在Lhokseumawe和Takengon市的公共空间中使用或不使用当地语言的决定所代表的社会身份。在亚齐省使用的当地语言包括亚齐语和加翁语。这项研究的重点是这两种语言的使用者,因为它们是亚齐最常用的两种当地语言。研究人员调查了年轻人在咖啡馆里是如何使用这些语言的。在这项研究中,选择咖啡馆作为研究地点,因为它们被认为是现代的公共空间,也是年轻人最常光顾的地方。本研究采用描述性定性方法。通过观察和深度访谈收集数据。研究结果显示,在亚齐的年轻人中,在咖啡馆等公共场所使用当地语言仍然不太受欢迎。该研究还发现,通过决定是否在咖啡馆的社交互动中使用当地语言,年轻人代表了几种社会身份。首先,有必要通过不选择说当地语言来显示城市人或“酷”人的身份。其次,年轻人通过使用当地语言融入他们正在闲逛的群体来显示他们的特殊身份。第三,与女性相比,男性更倾向于使用当地语言,以显示他们在与同龄人交往时的灵活性。
