This contribution gives in its first part an overview on factors of the decay and death of whole languages, focusing on dependency relations between these factors. They are organised along the following dimensions: socio-political, socio-economic, sociocultural, socio-psychological, and linguistic dimensions. The order of these dimensions partially represents a causal chain from left to right, but with many feedback relations. The second part of this article deals with early (socio-)linguistic indicators of language decay and discusses in this respect massive and asymmetric borrowing from the dominant into the recessive language, the loss of productivity of word formation patterns in the latter (illustrated from Breton), changes in name-giving (doubtful), shift of ‘foreign accent’ from the dominant to the recessive language, borrowing of morphological and syntactic patterns (inconclusive).

This study aims at exploring the phenomenon of Javanese language shift among lecturers and staffs at IAIN Kudus and their possible motives. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach and the data were taken from the interview, observation and focus group discussion. The results indicate that the use of Indonesian of male lecturers and male staffs is less striking shift than female ones. Indeed, female lecturers and female staffs tend to have a strong preference for using Indonesian rather than Javanese. This could be caused by the effect of globalization, the increased use of other languages, social changes, mobility, and modernity. The motives of language shift among the female lecturers and female staffs are the language used in a formal education is Indonesian and the increase of technology particularly in relation to social media use Indonesian as a medium to deliver information.
