Language, Social Structure, Rural Community, SociolinguisticsAbstract
This research aims to explore the contribution of language in shaping social structure in the community of Pasir Karag Village. This village, located in a rural area, exhibits cultural and social diversity that reflects the dynamics of interaction between the local community and various outside factors that influence their social structure. This study uses a sociolinguistic approach to examine the role of language as a tool of communication, identity and power in shaping social interactions among individuals and groups in the village. Through the application of participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and conversational text analysis, this study shows that language plays an important role in strengthening social structures, defining gender roles, and creating solidarity among community members. Language also acts as a tool to maintain local cultural values, but on the other hand, it also reflects the process of social change arising from modernization and globalization. The results of this study show that language in Pasir Karag Village plays a role not only as a means of communication, but also as a symbol of power, social organization, and identity that always develops along with the social changes that occur. This finding is expected to contribute to the understanding of the relationship between language and social structure, especially in rural communities that are facing social change.
