- Abstract
Malang, as the 2nd biggest city in East Java–after Surabaya, the capital of the province Surabaya, , is a quite diverse city in terms of languages. As it is City of Education, Industry and Tourism (Tri Bina Cita), it opens and welcomes new comers from many different parts of Indonesia to come for studying, doing business and vacation. Many even decide to stay and settle down. One of those newcomers–Chinese people–apparently did come to Malang even long before Tri Bina Cita was formulated in 1962 and, mostly, they came as traders or laborers. The language they created among themselves obviously; in terms of dialect, has enriched the existing local language, which is dominated by the Javanese. The dialect, Javanese-Chinese which is verbally used by mostly Chinese descendants, is unique for it probably only exists in Malang. As a part of applied linguistics, this sociolinguistics research is a preliminary one which is intended to identify the dialect used by Chinese descendants in Malang. The researchers, as the primary instruments, mostly did library research and used observation and interview as their secondary instruments. The data to be analyzed are in the forms of recorded voices. Thus, the expected results are words, phrases and sentence patterns of the related Javanese-Chinese dialect.
