Symptoms of Diglossia Leakage in Multilingual Society in Pangandaran Regency Tourism Area

Abstract

There are symptoms of diglossia leakage in the multilingual community in the tourist area of Pangandaran Regency.The symptom is recorded in speech in the family domain.This study used a sociolinguistic theoretical approach involving one hundred respondents from the Pangandaran Regency community.This study used data on respondents' attitudes towards language selection and use based on occupational social strata, namely civil and non-civil servants.Using qualitative research methods, namely ethnographic qualitative methods, the study shows that Indonesian as a high variety in speech in the community is identified as a low variety.Most of the people in Pangandaran Regency argue that using Indonesian as a high variety in the family room has become the focus.This situation is supported by a group of adults who choose Indonesian as the primary means of communication in the family room.This is done to balance the speech of a group of younger people who use Indonesian.This phenomenon can have a great potential to override the existence of local languages as a low variety that should be used in a familiar space.These findings indicate a need for socialization related to the function of language use in a multilingual society, especially in tourist areas.
