Abstract

The objectives of this research were (1) to explore ideologies underpinning Indonesian language policy; and (2) to find out the features of ideological spaces of Indonesian language policy. The sample consisted of five important government regulations related to Indonesian language documents. The data on language ideology were analyzed through NVivo thematic approach. The findings of the research showed that there were five important ideologies underpinning language policies in Indonesian context: Indonesiasm, Globalism, Asianism, and Vernacularism. These ideologies were embedded in the policy that guides the practice. The implication is that the understanding of language ideology can impact on the practice of language policy at national and university levels in Indonesia.
