Errington explores linguistic evidence of social change among the traditional priyayi elite of Surakarta in south-central Java.

Trade Review
“The main merit of this study is that it is based on observation and participation in the field, among speakers of Javanese…. This work will, one hopes, form a basis for further research into how language-use correlates with social status in Java.” * Bijdragen *
