The writer consider this issue from the perspectives of research on language policy, language endangerments. As a case study, the witer consider current trends and shifts in the use of Javanese by younger speakers as influenced bt the increased use of Indoesian, English or other languages.

ABSTRAK

  Seiring dengan meningkatnya penggunaan bahasa Indonesia, bahasa Inggris atau bahasa yang lainnya, dalam semua aspek kehidupan sehari-hari menimbulkan sebuah masalah. Penulis menilik persoalan ini dari berbagai pandangan penelitian tentang kebijakan bahasa, dan kepunahan bahasa. Sebagai studi kasus, penulis melihat bahwa arah gejala dan perubahan dalam penggunaan Bahasa Jawa oleh generasi muda ini dipengaruhi oleh meningkatnya pengunaan bahasa Indonesia, bahasa Inggris, atau bahasa yang lain. Seiring dengan semakin besarnya pengaruh bahasa diluar bahasa Jawa dalam domain berkomunikasi dan terputusnya transmisi antargenerasi bahasa Jawa, penulis dituntun untuk menyimpulkan bahwa bahasa Jawa dapat terancam punah.
