FACTORS DETERMINING THE DOMINAT LANGUAGE OF BILINGUAL JAVANESE-INDONESIAN CHILDREN IN THE VILLAGES OF BANCARKEMBAR (BANYUMAS REGENCY) AND SIDANAGERA (CILACAP REGENCY)

This paper is going to explain about the research on bilingual Javanese-Indonesian in Purwokerto and Cilacap. Most Javanese in rural areas are bilingual, i.e. Javanese and Indonesian. Javanese is usually spoken more in informal situations. Today, Javanese communicate more in Indonesian. The general impression is that the ability to read and write Javanese script is diminishing amongst the present generation of Javanese. Parents have an important role to preserve the Javanese language because if they use Javanese at home, their children will automatically master the language. The result of this research shows that there is an unsatisfactory attempt to master the complicated system of the standard Javanese language in Bancarkembar village, Banyumas Regency, and Sidanegara village, Cilacap Regency. Respondents in those two villages try to simplify Javanese language etiquette. The result of this research also indicates that the roles of the school are very important in supporting and repressing the Javanese language. Without considerable exposure to formal teaching and experience in other domains, it may lead to substantial defferences in teaching the language to their children
