Some restrict it as an exclusively economic phenomenon while others believe it also has social, cultural and political effects. Some see globalization as the ever changing of technology, economy, media, and ideology through the movement of people over cultural and national boundaries. Thus, to understand globalization one must re-understand the world and how culture, diversity, politics, ethnicity, race, and homogeneity are manifested. Some people see globalization as the homogenization of culture. To respond to the effects of the social change to the language, the Graduate Program in Linguistics, Andalas University (UNAND), in cooperation with the Indonesian Linguistic Society of UNAND branches, implemented the 3rd ISOL with the theme ‘Language in Social Change.' This seminar is aimed to facilited linguists, researcher, scholar, students, policy maker from to discuss the issues of language and social change. All these changes are recorded by or reflected in language. In Indonesia, reform is one of the causes of change in various aspects of social life, including government, politics, economy and culture. Social change in a society is triggered by various factors. Contacts between cultures or speakers of different language, language policies made by the authorities or government and the advancement of science and technology are among the factors responsible for the change. The pronunciation of a word may change from time to time. In contrast, a lexicon that did not exist before appeared and was widely used in the next period. The lexicon once used in a language may no longer be used in the next few years. It is undeniable that, like human being, language also changes.
