The present study discusses the option pattern of ngrasani 'gossiping about someone' by rural and urban Javanese women when involved in social interaction called rewang 'taking part in other's event', arisan (a regular social gathering where a lottery is conducted), and positive relation among neighbours. The approach operative in the study is sociolinguistic in nature. The research site covers Klaten regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The data were collected by recording conversations among rural and urban Javanese women when they ngrasani (gossiped) about someone in the very social interactions. The research findings reveal that the code options comprised of Bahasa Jawa Ngoko (casual Javanese language), Bahasa Jawa Krama (formal Javanese language), the combination of Ngoko and Krama language, and the combination of Javanese language and Indonesian or even foreign language. The code options used by Javanese women when gossiping about someone envinces that the higher a woman's social and education class was, the more varied code options she used. By contrast, the lower a woman's social and education class was, the fewer code options she used. Also, the younger she was, the more varied her language would be. These findings corroborate that correlation is evident between the language a woman speaks and her habits, which are different across ages and education levels.
The ancestors of the Javanese community have knowledge of farming methods on agricultural land and various tra-ditional farming equipment passed down from generation to generation, which is still simple in nature, used by a group of hereditary communities and is part of the technology system they possess according to their cultural con-ception. There are two types of agricultural equipment used, namely traditional and modern farming tools. Traditi-onal farming tools are simple and driven using human labor, while modern agricultural tools are driven by machines. The transformation of traditional agricultural tools to modern agricultural tools needs to be studied more deeply. This article will discuss about the traditional agricultural tools used by the Javanese people, especially Cen-tral Java, along with the transformation of traditional agricultural tools into modern agricultural tools. This article is derived from research that utilizes qualitative descriptive research approach. Data were collected using interview technique, observation, and literature study. Interviews were conducted with informants (rice farmers and owner of agricultural land) who were considered to know and master the problems of traditional farming equipment in Klaten District. The reasons for use of traditional farming tools by farmers are (1) farmers feel that traditional farming tools are more appropriate than modern farming tools, (2) unprocessed areas, (3) able to reach narrow areas, (4) practical and easy to carry as well as used, and (5) low prices and such tools are easy to find. Some traditional farming tools have undergone transformation into modern agricultural tools. These modern agricultural tools are operated by machines, can be grouped into (1) modern soil implements, (2) modern cultivators, and (3) modern harvesters.Nenek moyang masyarakat Jawa memiliki pengetahuan cara bercocok tanam di lahan pertanian dan berbagai macam peralatan pertanian tradisional yang diwariskan secara turun temurun, yang masih sederhana sifatnya, digunakan oleh sekelompok masyarakat secara turun temurun dan merupakan bagian dari sistem teknologi yang mereka miliki menurut konsepsi kebudayaannya.
