- Abstract
This study aims to search for regional and foreign vocabulary contained in the books of Indonesian students of SMP Grades VII, VIII, and IX. This is important because it is related to the language pride. Indonesian books should be clean from foreign and regional words. If these words are needed, it is better to use the equivalent word with the Indonesian vocabulary writing model then followed by foreign and / or regional vocabulary. If there are direct quotes using foreign or regional vocabulary, there should be an explanation or note for the direct quote. Data collection is done by reading technique, note-taking technique, and entry application. The findings of this research are (1) the regional vocabulary and dialect are 53 entries; and (2) the foreign vocabulary are 193 entries. The use of local and foreign language vocabulary is caused by reading themes. Compared to the total number of entries (10.365), the number of regional and foreign vocabulary in the books of junior high school students is 2.37. This number is small, but annoying because it has not shown a positive attitude towards Indonesian (there is still a negative attitude). It was marked by the unused of language pride rules.
