“…Language maintenance occurs in several domains, including within the family (Bunta & Castilla-Earls, 2021;Cunningham, 2020;Connaughton-Crean & Ó Duibhir, 2017), outside the speaker's country of origin (Bahhari, 2020;Ong, 2021), and in a given region (province) (Rusminto et al, 2021).

Objectives include understanding the role of expression in preserving language and its influence in instilling literature, ethics and personality during the era of globalization.

Interviews were conducted with community leaders in Sumbawa. The collected data were analyzed using various grouping techniques. Results: The study found that the use of the "saya" expression was prevalent in different contexts, serving not only as a linguistic expression but also as a tool to promote literature, ethics and personality among Sombawa's millennials. The expression was utilized as both a subject and an adverb in sentences, highlighting its flexibility in communication. Conclusions: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the frequent use of the "saya" expression by the people of Sumbawa contributes to their reputation as a society that maintains morality, ethics and good character. The expression plays a significant role in preserving language and serves as a means of instilling important values in the millennial generation, particularly in the face of globalization.

This study explores the language planning efforts for English language maintenance employed by sojourning Saudi families after returning to their home country. The study concludes that the importance of English in the development of different sectors in Saudi Arabia and the advantages of bilingualism in economic, health, and cognitive aspects for children played a significant role in the families’ language planning decisions. The study showed that the mothers maintained and developed their children’s English through following planned language strategies. A focus group discussion and semi-structured interviews illustrated that the mothers used four main strategies, which are speaking English exclusively at home, watching English television shows, maintaining relationships with English native speakers, and playing online educational games in English. The findings of this research study contribute to achieving understanding of sojourner families’ L2 maintenance efforts after returning to their home countries when those are monolingual countries such as Saudi Arabia.The study close with recommendations for future research to further develop this field of research.

“…As a result, this calls for an effort or commitment to maintain language in the home, in religion, and in formal learning instruction (Bahhari, 2020;Mejía, 2016;Sari, Chasiotis, & Vijver, 2018). This is necessary to protect the community or country's identity and control the norms, behaviours, and actions of a sustainable society, Nguyen (2020); Petti, Trillo and Makore (2020), including the Darong, Niman & Jem, 2022 practice of gender equality or bias in social interactions.…”

This study was under the philosophy of interpretivism with the employment of descriptive qualitative design. Six spokesmen in three different marriage proposals were the main source of data. Since the researchers were participant observers, relevant data notes were taken. To support the observation data, the researchers conducted interviews and documentation studies. Dwelling pragmatic theory, the obtained data were analyzed through some stages: data reduction, data display, and drawing a conclusion. It is discovered that on record without redressive consisting of positive and negative type is predominantly used as a strategy followed by redressive and off the record. In addition, gender bias was found in the use of the figurative language of metaphor, simile, and symbolism in the spokesmen’s utterances. In order to have effective and meaningful interpersonal relationships and communication, it is, therefore, crucial that we understand what to say and how to say it.
