Abstract

This study explores dogs’ understanding of human words from a psycholinguistic perspective. The study aims to examine how dogs respond to lexical cues, prosodic features, and human body language during communication. A qualitative approach was employed using Netnographic Audiovisual Analysis of selected YouTube videos featuring human–dog interactions. The collected data were analyzed to identify patterns of canine responses to verbal commands and communicative signals. The findings suggest that dogs may associate specific words with actions and respond not only to lexical information but also to intonation and contextual cues. Furthermore, dogs demonstrate behaviors that reflect associative learning and attention to human communication. These findings contribute to the understanding of cross-species communication and provide insights into psycholinguistic processes involved in canine language comprehension.

Abstract

This study examines the lexical variation between the regional languages of Bolangitang and Sangkub in North Bolaang Mongondow Regency, North Sulawesi. This study aims to identify the differences in vocabulary between the two languages, and analyze the use of these variations in everyday communication, as well as explain the social and geographical factors that influence the emergence of lexical variations. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. Data was collected through live interviews and online interviews with native speakers from both regions. The research instrument consists of a list of 30 basic vocabulary related to daily life, such as body parts, household activities, food, nature, and greetings. The data collected was analyzed by comparing similarities and differences in vocabulary between the two languages. The results of the study showed several lexical differences in the vocabulary commonly used by the Bolangitang and Sangkub people. Some words were found to have the same shape, while others showed differences in form and pronunciation. This variation is influenced by geographical factors, patterns of social interaction, and local language customs. This study shows that lexical variation is not only a linguistic differentiator, but also reflects the social and cultural identity of the people in North Bolaang Mongondow. Therefore, this research is expected to contribute to the documentation and preservation of regional languages in Indonesia, especially in North Bolaang Mongondow.
