which can be roughly deined as customary practice and religion, family and marriage, and work and leisure. In practice these domains overlap. However, for
analytical purposes these domains need to be separated. To understand how rural underemployed educated young people impact upon village life, the main
questions in this project are: how do these young people position themselves vis-à-vis informal rural authorities and vice versa, and how does this afect local
hierarchies and power relations?In short, this project aims to:
1. identify rural underemployed educated young people, explore their understandings about their underemployed status, and study the strategies
they develop and deploy to cope with their situation; 2.
show how these young people relate to rural informal authorities parents, clan, traditional, or church leaders and government oicials;
3. show how informal rural authorities react to underemployed educated young people;
4. scrutinize in particular the relations between rural underemployed educated young people and informal authorities within the following
social domains: customary practices and religion, family and marriage, and work and leisure; and
5. develop understanding about how these domains acquire new meanings for
all villagers through the dialectical relations between rural underemployed educated young people and informal authorities.

Abstrak
Indonesia is one of the regions of the world with the highest linguistic and biological diversity.After the 2005 tsunami a wide range of international attention
was directed at the ‘Sea Nomads’ throughout Indonesia, resulting in the settlement of some groups of seafaring Bajau by erecting pile-houses over the shallow of the
bay along the coast of Indonesia.
This research aims to ofer a detailed portrait of how two diferent groups of Bajau the sedentary Sama-Bajau and the nomadic Bajau Pelao perceive, understand
andface constant changes in their environment. And to do so, I will be focusing on their linguistics practices and how they have developed through diferent
generations of Bajau. Within the extensive range of language units, I will be focusing on the oral and lexical aspects of their languages, particularly the words
used to identify the diferent seasons and the social function of these units within their community; each of these seasonal words relates to speciic ish species. In
addition, I will attempt to provide a relevant analysis of diferent accounts and discourses through which their environment is constantly constructed and re-
shaped, and the agency of the Bajau in all this. In order to achieve this goal with the communities I am targeting and due to their life-style, I will be conducting
multi-sited and mobile ethnographic research during the course of 14 months; initially aiming to stay with both Sama-Baja and Bajau Pelao and also observe their

deining interactionsin terms of language development. The geographical focus of this research will be the coast of North Sulawesi and the area of the Celebes Sea
that borders the region.
