Abstract

The Bali Aga dialect as a variant of the Balinese language spoken by the Bali Aga community in Tigawasa Village faces challenges of preservation in the era of modernization. The work domain is a crucial domain in daily language use that can reflect the vitality of a language or dialect. This research focuses on the preservation of the Bali Aga dialect in the work domain in Tigawasa Village which is one of the Bali Aga villages that still maintains traditions and ancestral languages. This research uses mixe method (quantitative qualitative) which is collected through observation, questionnaire and interview. A purposive sampling technique was used to select representative informants. This research uses Fishman's (1972) domain theory as the main framework, supported by Greenfield's (1968) theory and Parasher's (1980) theory. Parasher's theory, (1980). The results show that the preservation of Bali Aga dialect in the work domain in Tigawasa Village shows positive results with the intensity of the use of Bali Aga dialect in the work domain amounting to 70%. The Balinese Aga dialect tends to be better preserved in traditional work (informal sector), while the use of Indonesian language is more dominant in modern work (formal sector). The use of Bali Aga dialect in Tigawasa Village is influenced by several factors such as: the strength of cultural identity, the survival of traditional economic activities, and the ongoing intergenerational language transmission. The conclusion is that the preservation of the Bali Aga dialect in the work domain in Tigawasa Village shows a complex trend. Despite facing pressure from Indonesian language and modernization, this dialect still has strong vitality, especially in the context of traditional work and local interaction. However, revitalization efforts and supportive language policies are needed to ensure the sustainability of the Bali Aga dialect in the work domain, especially facing the challenges of globalization and socio-economic changes
