The Patterns of Sasak Code Choicee
Abstract
This paper mainly aims to show the patterns of code choice within the Sasak multilingual community. A simple assumption is within the Sasaks’ repertoire, there must exist regularity in the way of choosing a certain code that might be different from other speech community. The differences can be assumed as the cultural uniqueness that operates within its specific value system hold by the community and ultimately those differences form the identity of the community.
It has been generally accepted that there are three general rules of code choice in multilingual society, i.e. situational, repertoire, and metaphorical rules. This metaphorical rule dominates the code choice rules in Sasakcontext which is realized in the form of patterns; symmetrical, asymmetrical, stratified, and pseudo-symmetrical patterns. These patterns are quite different from those previously revealed by some researchers around the world. The differences are mainly because of the differences of values operating within the culture of each community.
