“…It has been argued for other languages that make extensive use of so-called zero anaphora, that these allusive constructions might be best understood as the default or unmarked construction type. For such languages, including Japanese (Nariyama 2003), Korean (Oh 2007) and Javanese (Ewing 2014), it may be more productive to ask when referents are explicitly expressed, rather than asking when they are not expressed. As implicit referents are more common than explicit referents in the conversational data we are looking at, we will follow this line of thought by asking why arguments are explicitly expressed at certain points in discourse.…”

This book is the product of a collective intellectual exploration and a shared interest in the language practices of young people in Indonesia. Through numerous meetings, both face-to-face and via Skype, we have discussed and debated different theoretical concepts as well as the many examples that appear in this book. Though the three of us have known each other for some years, writing a book together has afforded us the opportunity to appreciate the differences in our academic background and interest and given us the courage to meet the challenge of aligning differing analytical perspectives in order to provide a rich account of the multi-situated nature of language use. Meeting that challenge was not always easy but was always a fruitful process. When we embarked on this project, we knew that examining youth language practices would be a satisfying endeavour. We are very grateful to the young participants in Bandung and Malang for allowing us to record their conversations, and to authors of Teenlit in Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta and Surabaya for granting us interviews. Editors of Teenlit at Gramedia Pustaka Utama and Gema Insani in Jakarta, and Mizan in Bandung have been particularly welcoming. We also thank Simon Chandra of Cendana Art Media Publishers, Sheila Rooswitha Putri and Ronny Amdani of Curhat Anak Bangsa Publishers for kindly granted us permission to reproduce the comic work presented here. We owe a debt of gratitude to our research assistants, who dedicated many hours to transcription and annotation, and helped us with the occasional tricky teen word or youth cultural reference: Eliyana, Refdinal Hadiningrat, Asdit Leonitara, Linda Mayasari, Harni Kartika Ningsih and Catrine Ana Prastyari. Particular gratitude is due to Enung Rostika, who led the collection and transcription effort in Bandung, and Catur Siwi Dia Rachmatika, who did the same in Malang. Our sincere thanks also go to Jo Taylor whose keen editorial eye efficiently refined this manuscript in its closing days. Our respective institutions have provided study leave to enable us to work on this project and financial support in the form of travel grants, research assistant funding and editing assistance. We are grateful for the generous support provided by the University of Sydney (Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences),

“…En Orozco 2020 se mostró que la expresión del pronombre usted se ve favorecida en fragmentos elaborados a partir del discurso directo. En un estudio sobre este tipo de discurso en javanés, lengua en que menudea la elisión de pronombres, Ewing (2014) destaca que el diálogo construido motiva la presencia de la primera persona singular.…”

El propósito de esta investigación es estudiar la expresión de los sujetos pronominales de primera persona singular considerando dos factores relacionados con la estructura de la interacción: el turno de habla y el discurso directo. En el análisis se incluyen además otros factores lingüísticos que han resultado significativos en estudios anteriores. Los resultados de la investigación indican que tanto el inicio de turno de habla como los contextos en discurso directo favorecen la expresión de yo en entrevistas sociolingüísticas. Esto muestra la necesidad de analizar el efecto de elementos relacionados con la estructura de la interacción en los estudios de los sujetos pronominales.

“…Davidson, 1996;Travis & Cacoullos, 2012), and Javanese (e.g. Ewing, 2014). For example, Lee and Yonezawa (2008) identified examples in their Japanese corpus in which a speaker uses an overt first-person subject to communicate her commitment to taking the floor and an overt secondperson subject to display her intention to hand over the floor.…”

Despite ample literature on the frequent occurrence of subject omission in Korean, the discussion of subjects that are not omitted in utterances has not been fully developed. While some researchers have focused on emphasis and contrast as the main reasons for a subject not to be omitted, the current study addresses floor-shifting in spoken discourse as a primary motivation for a subject to be overt. With respect to shifts of the floor in discourse, I analyze occurrences of overt subjects in spoken Korean corpora and clarify the discursive roles of first-and second-person subjects that are overtly expressed. The analysis shows that overt subjects referring to the interlocutors of discourse function as an explicit sign of the intention to take or give the floor. The findings of this study extend our understanding of overt subjects in Korean by expanding our focus from subject omission in sentences by relating it to the speaker's stance toward the floor of discourse.
