“…In spite of the fact that there has been a relatively sizeable literature on Indonesian linguistic manifestations (e.g., Aveling, 2004;Basthomi, 2007Basthomi, , 2009Davies, 2005;Palupi, 2006;Susanto, 2007), there has been, to the present writer's knowledge, no document which deals with this recent phenomenon in Bahasa Indonesia. Since the instance we are discussing has been induced by the public, it falls into the category of "change from below" (Romaine, 1994, p. 140).…”

Language is dynamic and, accordingly, language change is bound to occur. This article analyzes few recent Indonesian nonconventional expressions as properties which potentially motivate some changes in Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian). Since the term "nonconventional" has to do with the notion of "convention", which is central to Saussurean linguistics, the analysis is carried out by means of Saussure's linguistic views. The analysis shows that the nonconventional expressions can be well accounted for using Saussure's theoretical propositions. However, as to why Indonesians come up with the non-conventional expressions is beyond pure Saussure's linguistic concepts. The article also touches upon the idea that the issue about nonconventional expressions (which may be deemed grammatical aberrations) poses a challenge to language planners.

“…After the era of 1998 'Reformasi', the term of Islamic literature became popular, due to the political openness that made it possible to spread new thoughts, including the Islamic worldview (Aveling 2007;Danerek 2006;Rani 2012) As a result, Islamic literature in the 'Reformasi' is regarded as the most influential. Ayat-Ayat Cinta (The Verses of Love) is one of the Islamic novels that succeeded in gaining a million readers among the young Indonesian Muslim (Damayanti 2013;Rani 2012).…”

This condition brings about good condition because the female writers will balance the discourse of the women's position in Indonesian literature (Aveling 2007).

This paper aims at discussing the image of women in contemporary Indonesian Islamic literature after the ‘Indonesian Reformation’ in 1998. In contrast to the previous era, the images of women in this period are presented differently by male writers. Women are depicted more moderate and progressive. This paper applies the method of sociology of literature whereby literature is regarded as a reflection of its society. It employs content analysis of the text to see how Javanese Muslim women are depicted and how the depiction reflects the society. Two novels discussed in this paper are Cinta Suci Zahrana by Habiburrahman El Shirazy and Perempuan Badai by Mustofa W. Hasyim. The results show that these novels raise various issues of Muslim women in contemporary Indonesia. They show that there is a development in presenting the image of Muslim women in Indonesia. There is a development of thoughts, especially about the social status of women. The changes include the level of education, determination of spouse and freedom to participate in public spheres. The level of education obtained by the main characters is an essential milestone in changing women’s position in Indonesian Muslim society. Women are not just an object, but they should be the subject in the life of the Muslim community.
