Islam in Indonesia

The Contest for Society, Ideas and Values

Indonesia's Muslims are still pondering the role of religion in public life. Although the religious violence marring the transition towards democratic reform has ebbed, the Muslim community has polarised into reactionary and progressive camps with increasingly antagonistic views on the place of Islam in society. Debates over the underlying principles of democratisation have further heated up after a fatwa issued by conservative religious scholars condemned secularism, pluralism and liberalism as un-Islamic. With a hesitant government dominated by Indonesia's eternal political elites failing to take a clear stance, supporters of the decision are pursuing their Islamisation agendas with renewed vigour, displaying growing intolerance towards other religions and what they consider deviant Muslim minorities. Extremist and radical exponents of this Islamist bloc receive more international media coverage and scholarly attention than their progressive opponents who are defiantly challenging this reactionary trend. Calling for a true transformation of Indonesian society based on democratic principles and respect for human rights, they insist that this depends on secularisation, religious toleration, and freethinking. Conceived as a contemporary history of ideas, this book aims to tell the story of these open- minded intellectuals and activists in the world's largest Muslim country.

English Around the World

Sociolinguistic Perspectives

This volume looks at the little explored but increasingly important topic of the development of English as a world language. It gives a comprehensive account of our current knowledge of variation in the use of the English language around the world. Overview papers, written by specialist authors, survey the social context in which English is spoken in those parts of the world where it is widely used. Case study papers then provide representative examples of the empirical research that has been carried out into the English spoken in the areas covered by the overview. The volume therefore contributes both to our understanding of the English language worldwide and to a more general understanding of language as it is used in its social context. It assesses the extent of our current knowledge of variation in the English language and points to gaps in our understanding which future research might set out to remedy.

GREGORY R. GUY Introduction The English language is now completing 200
years of continuous usage in Australia. In that time it has supplanted the original
languages of the continent, and recruited most descendants of non-English
speaking immigrants, so that today it is the overwhelmingly dominant tongue
throughout Australia. Several features of the Australian situation yield a unique
insight on the development and diversification of English: its geographic isolation

World English

A Study of Its Development

This text traces the history of English language spread from the 18th to the beginning of the 21st century, combining that with a study of its langauge change. It links linguistic and sociolinguistic variables that have conditioned the evolution and change of English, putting forward a new framework of language spread and change.

World English, however, owes its existence to the fact that some 80% of its
approximately one-and-a-half to two billion users are bilingual (or multilingual) (
Crystal, 1997; World Englishes, 1998: 419). Since the existence of World English
results from the process of language spread as macroacquisition - second
language acquisition (SLA) by speech communities - bilingualism necessarily
occupies a central role in the study of World English. In refocusing its study from
the global, often ...
