Mary Zurbuchen demonstrates how the linguistic codes of this rich art form mediate between social groups, cultural influences, historical periods, and conceptual schemes. http://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt7zvpqd |

+ | "As the painting of a village shadow play that is reproduced on the dust jacket of this handsome book vividly illustrates, everything in Bali tends toward luxuriant complexity. Language is no exception: Balinese have long been inclined to take on other people’s languages and maintain them as distinct codes, available for use in specific contexts but never completely melded into a single entity one could call “Balinese.” So in the communicative thickets one finds: in everyday speech, an intricate system of speech registers indicating degrees of status and intimacy; in religious ritual, Sanskrit; in ritual and performances, Old Javanese; and increasingly, in official settings, the national language of Indonesian." | ||
