Address practices in natural conversations are sociolinguistically significant, because they display speakers' socio-cultural values as well as the community's social structure and social change. Focusing on Bòsò Walikan Malang 1 (/bɔsɔ waliʔan malaŋan/, hereafter referred to as Walikan), a youth language spoken in Malang, this paper examines how address terms and politeness are practiced in a multilingual setting. Walikan is a colloquial variety of local Javanese and Indonesian that features word reversing (mlaku > uklam 'to walk'; makan > nakam 'to eat'). The youth language was specifically chosen as the focus of this study because it is an important symbol of the socio-cultural identity of the Arema (Arek Malang; the people of Malang). Looking at the underexplored topic of speech levels in youth language, the current research discusses the value of Walikan's address terms and how they are currently used to demonstrate the speakers' linguistic politeness. The analysis compares Walikan's address terms with those of Javanese and Indonesian, two dominant languages spoken in the area. Data for the current study were drawn from recordings, interviews, and observations conducted in an extensive fieldwork. The results of this study reveal a speakers' shift of value that is mainly prompted by a compromised common ground and social distance. The study argues that address practices in Walikan show different degree of politeness than that of Javanese and Indonesian.

Author stance, which echoes authors' attitudes, personal thought, and feeling within the text, can be revealed through preference of voice construction. This study aims at examining the quantitative data of active and passive voice construction used in the English Department of State University of Malang students' theses, as well as exploring the implication arising from the issue. The data in this descriptive qualitative study is taken from a corpus of English Department undergraduate theses written in 2011 to 2013. The corpus data and the frequency of both voice constructions of selected Biber's (2004) stance verbs are calculated using Ant.Conc 3.2.4 corpus software. Findings show that the frequency of active voice construction is higher than that of the passive, as much as 64.8% out of 3901 tokens of the stance verb suggest, expect, show, predict, report, believe, hope, allow are in active voice. The most frequent stance verb in active voice constructions is the verb show, while that in passive voice is the verb expect and the least frequent in both voice constructions is the verb predict. This study suggests that the frequent active voice construction found in Indonesian undergraduate theses resembles English native author's writing style. This fact may indicate Indonesian student author's determination to be acknowledged internationally.

Walikan, spoken in Malang, Indonesia, is used among the youth to articulate a shared identity. This paper aims to investigate the role of Walikan in the linguistic landscape of Malang through semiotic modes analysis. Our data include Walikan signage in the city of Malang, mainly in the form of business signs, advertising boards, footballrelated banners, posters, landmarks, and graffiti. The analysis focuses on the text and images used in the signs. We study the content message and draw interpretation on two aspects: the motivation of why these messages are written in Walikan and the predicted impact on the recipients of the messages. The results of the study show that Indonesia's urban linguistic landscape does not have to be monolingual, it can also include local linguistic features. The paper also nudges on the use of the iconic blue colour, the colour of the city's football club, that is used in the signs. It is presumed that the iconic blue colour functions as a cohesive tie [1] and as the regional identity colour reflecting the pride of the local youths in Malang

This paper analyzes aspects of the phonology of Malangan Javanese, spoken in the city of Malang in East Java, Indonesia, through the lens of a reversed language called Basa Walikan Malangan ("Walikan"). Walikan historically functioned as a secret language, but is currently regarded as a marker of a shared local identity. It involves the total reversal of segments of Malangan Javanese and occasionally Indonesian words. Manipulation takes place on a word level and is predominantly phonemic, affecting underlying forms rather than their surface realizations. In a small number of cases, orthography appears to influence word reversal as well. We demonstrate how Walikan reversals chiefly comply with the phonology of Malangan Javanese. Their analysis puts us in the position to cast new light on some under-described issues of Javanese phonology, such as the realization of word-final stops, the syllabification of consonant clusters, and processes of vowel-lowering. We also call attention to instances where Javanese phonotactics are violated, arguing that the phonemic status of a number of vowels and consonants is changing. This is especially the case with the phoneme /ɔ/, which was historically an allophone of /a/ but has now gained phonemic status, as demonstrated by Walikan data.
