Keanekaragaman bahasa yang ada di Indonesia sangat menarik untuk diteliti. Dilihat dari segi bahasa, baru 13 bahasa yang diteliti, yakni bahasa Minangkabau, Jawa, Sunda, Melayu, Bali, Dayak, Minahasa, Gorontalo, Toraja, Messenrempulu, Helong, Nagekeo, dan Sasak. Penelitian Dialektologi ini meliputi dua aspek, yakni aspek sinkronis dan aspek diakronis. Aspek sinkronis meliputi: membuat deskripsi perbedaan kebahasaan, memetakan perbedaan kebahasaan, menentukan status perbedaan dialek, dan membuat deksripsi keadaan dialek. Sedangkan aspek diakronis mencakup: membuat rekonstruksi prabahasa, menelusuri pengaruh antar-dialek, unsur kebahasaan, keterbhubungan antara unsur-unsur kebahasaan, dan membuat analsis dialek ke dalam dialek relik. Aspek-aspek di atas bertujuan untuk memudahkan pemahaman komunikasi antara dialek yang berbeda.

Rethinking Ethnicity

"A welcome and brilliantly crafted overview of this field. It represents a major advance in our understanding of how ethnicity works in specific social and cultural contexts. The second edition will be an invaluable resource for both students and researchers alike." - John Solomos, City University, London The first edition of Rethinking Ethnicity quickly established itself as a popular text for students of ethnicity and ethnic relations. This fully revised and updated second edition adds new material on globalization and the recent debates about whether ethnicity matters and ethnic groups actually exist. While ethnicity - as a social construct - is imagined, its effects are far from imaginary. Jenkins draws on specific examples to demonstrate the social mechanisms that construct ethnicity and the consequences for people′s experience. Drawing upon rich case study material, the book discusses such issues as: the ′myth′ of the plural society; postmodern notions of difference; the relationship between ethnicity, ′race′ and nationalism; ideology; language; violence and religion; and the everyday construction of national identity.
