NOVI DJENAR

Novi Djenar is Associate Professor and Chair of the Indonesian Studies Department at the University of Sydney. She has research interests in topics related to youth language practices, the stylistics of Indonesian fiction, person reference and language and place. Her work on Indonesian youth language practices in teen fiction and conversation examines the ways in which young people’s practices are connected to those in wider society and contribute to changes in the Indonesian language. Novi’s research on language and place draws on interactional sociolinguistics and phenomenological approaches to place to show how meanings of place emerge ‘fleetingly’ as people engage in ordinary talk.
