Today diaspora becomes highligthed issue when people become parts of global world. The term of diapora cannot be separated from old world/new world, past/present, or rooted/uprooted. In a diaporic position, people usually face a condition of in-betweeness, the situation between the homeland where they come from and that of the new land where they have to live today. By using Vertovecâs ideas which suggests diaspora as type of consciousness, this paper intends to discuss womenâs roles in diasporic world experienced by the Asian-Indian female characters in Jhumpa Lahiriâs Unnaccustomed Earth and Only Goodness. As one of the diasporic ethnic groups in the world, Asian Indian women encounter paradoxical nature, the situation in which they have to adapt to the new environment but on the other side they still maintain their old habits. Languages, beliefs, traditions, costums, and foods become the apparatuses that the women use as the negotiation tools between old world and new world. By focusing on these womenâs roles, this paper depicts how these female characters still maintain the Indian values yet on the occasion also adopt the Americanâs. On each generation, the in-betweenness situation is different. The efforts of maintaining old world tradition may react the resistance from the latter generation. However, in both short stories, Lahiri reveals the the importance of maintaining the old world. In her ways, she appreciates the maintaining old world values among the Americansâ.

Being bilingual nowadays is required by most people because of the social needs. They have to
speak even to switch an appropriate language in appropiate time in order to suit when, where,
and to whom they speak.Moreover, a switching that occurs over phrases or sentences including
exclamations and tags at either end of the sentence is called code switching.
South Kalimantan with Banjarmasin as its capital is one of the provinces in Kalimantan Island.
Some of Banjarmasin citizens come to study in universities or colleges in Malang. To keep
contact with each other, they establish AMKS (Asrama Mahasiswa Kalimantan Selatan). Since
they are bilingualis, in informal meetings or even in formal meetings they do code switching.
Thus, this study focused on the types, the reasons and the factors of code switching done by
Banjarese students in the formal meetings.
This is a descriptive study and applies a qualitative approach for the data in the form of texts.
The data was taken at their formal meetings held at AMKSâs boarding house.

occurred in the meetings. They were Situational code switching, Methaporical code switching.
According to Hoffman were 3 types; Inter-sentential code switching, intra-sentential code
switching, Emblematic. According to Hymes were 2 types; Internal code switching, Temporary
code switching.
Banjarese students switched into Banjarese because of 6 reasons,but only 5 reasons found in the
text; they were:(1) the background of the speaker,(2) The differences of ages among the
speaker,(3) Being influenced by the interlocutors who switch the code ,(4) Talking about
particular topic, (5) for humorous effect.
There were 4 factors that stimulated code switching among Banjarese students, they were: (1) the
participants, (2) the effectiveness of the message, (3) the setting, (4) the topic of the
conversation.
From the result, it was obvious to see that Banjarese students like to switch in the form of
intersentential for amplifying a point and winning an argument reason. The setting factor is the

Hyphenated Americansâ Experiences in Multicultural Interactions Portrayed in American Fictions
American society cannot be detached from the societyâs multiculturalism. The various ethnic groups inevitably may lead into cooperations, frictions, or conflicts in their interaction. Fiction, as one of literary works, is one of the ways in picturing its reality. Most of hyphenated-American writers wrote both their experiences and imagination through fictions which mostly are about those of racial-based. Some fictions such as Sui Sin Farâs In the Land of the Free, Bienvenido Santosâ Immigration Blues, Anzia Yezierskaâs Soap and Water depict the unfavorable experiences in their first interaction in America. While, Monfoon Leongâs New Year for Fong Wing and Gish Jenâs In the American Society elaborate the inter-race interaction and their confusion in blending their identity in the new land. It is found that though they can stand living in a multicultural society, most hyphenated Americans still face situation where sometimes they are still regarded as the subordinated class and it leads into fear and uncomfortable life. Racism is still big issue in American life even though it has long been declared that all men are created equal. In the interaction process some of them still had a tight tie to their origins, while others could easily conform to the American culture.

THE IMPORTANCE OF POSITIVE LANGUAGE ATTITUDE IN MAINTAINING JAVANESE LANGUAGE
This study is a library study aimed at figuring out how language attitude plays an
important role in maintaining particular language, by taking a look at the case of
Javanese language. Javanese language is viewed as a case here, as Javanese language is
considered as being endangered though not by the size but by the fact that it has lost its
public function, it is no longer effectively taught to the next generation, and it has
undergone shrinkage in both variety and properties. Language contact, language policy,
and language attitude are seen as the reasons of Javanese language shifted by Bahasa
Indonesia. Javanese positive language attitude is suggested as the key factor in
maintaining Javanese language because the first two factors are inevitable and are
difficult to be changed. Positive language attitude is important in maintaining Javanese
language because once the attitude is enriched with the cognitive and affective aspects of
considering Javanese language as part of the speakers identity â and culture in the
bigger sense â the attitude toward Javanese language will be positive and this will lead to
positive behavior toward Javanese language as well
