Abstract: This article explores new functions served by language varieties in fiction. Focusing our analysis on two types of texts in Indonesian -teen fiction and comics -we examine the interplay between standard and colloquial varieties to show how they are used together with non-verbal elements to promote youthful involvement. We identify three ways in which involvement is created in the texts: through free indirect discourse, non-verbal cues, and the gradual building of empathy indicated by shifting perspectives.

“…Colloquial Indonesian has been conceptualised as an informal social style, not necessarily identified with any particular social group (Englebretson 2003;Ewing 2005). However, increasingly in certain domains such as radio broadcasts (Jurriëns 2009;Manns 2014a, b), fiction (Djenar 2008(Djenar , 2012, comics (Djenar and Ewing 2015;Ewing 2015), and computer-mediated communication (Manns 2010), colloquial language is strongly associated with youth practices. In the past three decades, there has been a shift from viewing colloquial Indonesian as simply a non-standard informal variety of the language to viewing it in generational terms as falling in the particular prevue of young people.…”

“…In the past, colloquial Indonesian has been associated with informal spoken interaction, while standard Indonesian has been considered appropriate for more formal contexts, especially written discourse. While government policy and the proscriptions of cultural commentators would try to keep these domains of use separate, we often see blending between these styles, particularly among young language users (Djenar and Ewing 2015). The highly contextualised and allusive structures of the interpersonal style continue to be associated with colloquial Indonesian features and thus index informality and close personal relationships.…”
