This paper is concerned with the ways ideologies relating to multilingualism and linguistic diversity influence action and interaction, emphasising the relevance of performance style as an analytic criterion for analysis. It particularly deals with social contexts in which language becomes something that needs to be ‘managed’ or ‘planned’, both con...

In this paper, we report a survey of lan- guage resources in Indonesia, primarily of indigenous languages. We look at the offi- cial Indonesian language (Bahasa Indone- sia) and 726 regional languages of Indone- sia (Bahasa Nusantara) and list all the available LRs that we can gathered. This paper suggests that the smaller regional languages may remain relatively unstudied, and unknown, but they are still worthy of our attention. Various LRs of these endan- gered languages are being built and col- lected by regional language centers for study and its preservation. We will also briefly report its presence on the Internet.

An ontology can be seen as a representa- tion of concepts in a specific domain. Ac- cordingly, ontology construction can be re- garded as the process of organizing these concepts. If the terms which are used to la- bel the concepts are classified before build- ing an ontology, the work of ontology con- struction can proceed much more easily. Part-of-speech (PoS) tags usually carry some linguistic information of terms, so PoS tagging can be seen as a kind of pre- liminary classification to help constructing concept nodes in ontology because features or attributes related to concepts of different PoS types may be different. This paper pre- sents a simple approach to tag domain terms for the convenience of ontology con- struction, referred to as Term PoS (TPoS) Tagging. The proposed approach makes use of segmentation and tagging results from a general PoS tagging software to pre- dict tags for extracted domain specific terms. This approach needs no training and no context information. The experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves a precision of 95.41% for ex- tracted terms and can be easily applied to different domains. Comparing with some existing approaches, our approach shows that for some specific tasks, simple method can obtain very good performance and is thus a better choice.
Various intangible cultural expressions in Indonesia such as oral traditions and literature are fragile and easily lost. Currently among 726 languages, 146 are endangered. Although several projects have been initiated for cultural preservation, the available technology that could support communication within indigenous communities, as well as with people outside the community, is still very rare in Indonesia. Speech-to-speech translation is a technology that enables communication among people speaking in different languages, and therefore it is significant for indigenous communities to preserve their cultural language and overcome language barriers. This paper presents the earlier step of long-term development of speech-to-speech translation system from Indonesian ethnic languages to other languages (i.e., English/Indonesian), which is a design and collection of graphemically balanced and parallel speech corpora of four Indonesian major ethnic languages: Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese and Bataks.
