Abstract

Because Bahasa Indonesia has evolved in circumstances which are rather different from those of most languages of the world, its investigation and description present certain unusual problems . The familiar cry of the linguistic l world for 11 description, not prescription" is an uncomfortable motto for the investigator of a language of which the only "standard" form has been established by 11 prescriptionn, and of which the present living versions are both varied and changing.
