LANGUAGE ATTITUDES OF BALINESE YOUNG GENERATION TOWARD BALI KOPLO SONGS: SOCIOLINGUISTIC APPROACH

Abstract

Balinese as a mother tongue is an identity and ancestral heritage whose existence must be properly preserved and maintained. The media that can be used to maintain it is through songs. One of the songs popular with the people of Indonesia, particularly Bali is accompanied by koplo music. Nowadays, Balinese Koplo songs are widely distributed by social media. Therefore, Balinese koplo songs can be heard by all levels of society, from young to old everywhere, when people have media and internet access. It is hoped that this article will be able to analyze and describe the sociolinguistic factors that influence the maintenance of the Balinese language. The theory used in this research is sociolinguistic, namely the theory of language shift and maintenance with a qualitative approach.
