PREFACE

Thank you to God Almighty who has made it easy for me to complete this critical
journal review task on time. On this occasion I would also like to thank the lecturer in charge
of this course Sociolinguistic, Madam Dra. Nursayani Maruao, M.Pd. who has guided and
directed me in completing this task.

Thus the author realizes that the task of making CJR is not perfect, so constructive
criticism or suggestions are highly expected to be able to complete the next task better.

CHAPTER I
INTORDUCTION
A. Background
Sociolinguistics is the study of our everyday lives – how language works in our casual
conversations and the media we are exposed to, and the presence of societal norms, policies,
and laws which address language. Since you are reading this paper, you may already have
some idea what the study of sociolinguistics entails; you may already have an interest in, and
knowledge about, regional dialects, multilingualism, language policy, or non-sexist language.
And we will cover all of these topics, along with many others – what social class and ethnicity
might have to do with language use, why we do not always ‘say what we mean,’ the role of
language in education. But we would like to encourage readers to approach the study of
sociolinguistics not as a collection of facts, but as a way of viewing the world around you. In
sociolinguistics, we seek to analyze data so that we can make generalizations about language
in society, but also to question both our findings and the very process of doing
research.
In multilingual countries, the government often declares a particular language
to be a national language for political reasons. The declaration may be a step in the
process of asserting the nationhood of a newly independent or establish nation, for
instance, as in the case of Swahili in Tanzania, Hebrew in Israel, Malay in Malaysia,
and Indonesian in Indonesia. Where this national language cannot serve all the internal
and external functions of government business, however, it has then been necessary to
identify one or more official language as well.
This paper offers a summary of the various language plans that can be listed.
An summary and a revised bibliography of the field of language planing are provided.
Language planning is defined as the planning of deliberate changes in the way or the
implementation of the variety of languages and is seen as a sociolinguistic sub-
discipline. The themes discussed include linguistic planning, ideal language planning,
language planning goals, linguistic planning styles and levels, linguist's positions in
language planning, language planning research, language planning and linguistic
planning implementation and assessment, bilingual training and education policies.

CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION

A. The Strengthness Of The Journal


In the journal, there are several advantages that can be improved or developed, for
example:
 With the discussion of the national language, we can know that this national
language can represent the national identity of a nation and state.
 With this it can identify the language and unite the nation’s community.
 Can be a characteristic for a country.
 As a unifying language and,
 Planning as well as language use are social practices and language planning is
usually considered to be a subdiscipline of sociolinguistics.

B. The Weaknesses Of The Journal


In the journal there are several weaknesses that can be improved for the better in the
future:
 It’s really bad to use informal language to elders and even if it’s not rude.

C. Suggestion For Improving The Quality Of The Journal


My suggestion to national language is used for political, cultural, and social
functions. Official Language used for government business, such as national courts,
parliament, or business. Therefore we must be able to distinguish and use them based
on how we plan language.
CHAPTER III
CONCLUSION

In multilingual countries, the government often declares a particular language to be a


national language for political reasons. Many countries have regarded the development of a
single national language as a way of symbolising the unity of a nation. ‘One nation, one
language’ has been a popular and effective slogan. In earlier centuries, the national language
of a political entity often emerged naturally and relatively unselfconsciously over a period of
time. A national language is the language of a political, cultural and social unit. It is generally
developed and used as a symbol of national unity. A national language may for instance
represent the national identity of a nation or country. National language may alternatively be a
designation given to one or more languages spoken as first languages in the territory of a
country. Its function are to identify the nation and unite the people of the nation.

Attempts to change languages, in terms of either their form or their function, are
usually described as instances of Language Planning. Because the ‘plans’ involved in
changing languages often (although by no means always) involve policy decisions, work on
language planning is often intertwined with work on language policy, and this body of
literature is frequently referred to as LPP (Language Policy and Planning)
