Abstract

Stress is one of suprasegmental feature in language and is included in the study of acoustic phonetics. Tontemboanese is a language spoken in several areas in Minahasa, and in this research, the word stress in Tontemboanese is done through the approach of experimental phonetics by employing the software Praat in data analysis. The data are collected through recording from interview, cut the recording into several one-word recordings, and then the data are analyzed with Praat to determine the pitch, duration, and intensity of each syllable. Through the data analysis, it is found that the Tontemboanese word stress is a fixed word stress, and the position of the stress is generally in the penultimate syllables. The result is still similar with the results by Schwarz (1908) and Tambuwun (1986) which states that the word stress in Tontemboanese is in the penultimate syllable.

Abstract

Languages have their own fashion for indicating the location of certain objects. Generally, such languages utilizes with morphemes such as ‘left’, ‘right’, ‘in front of’, and ‘in back of’, namely relative directions. However, there are also languages which utilizes cardinal directions, such as ‘north’, ‘south’, ‘west’ and ‘east’ for indicating the location of certain objects, namely absolute directions. In addition to cardinal directions, absolute directions also utilize uphill/downhill distinction in differentiating ‘up’ or ‘down’. Tontemboanese language is one of the languages which utilize absolute directions. This research aims to show how Tontemboanese speakers utter words in terms of spatial reference of the speakers.

Abstract

According to Ethnologue, Minahasan languages, such as Tontemboan, Tombulu, Tonsea, Tolour, Tonsawang, Ratahan, Ponosakan, and Bantik are categorized as threatened and even shifting. It means that if there are no actual measures to rejuvenate the languages, it could be foreseen that Minahasan languages will be left with no native speakers. Mainly treated as vernaculars, and with the internalization of Manado Malay as the lingua franca in Minahasa and Indonesian language as the sole official language in Indonesia, both factors gave impact to the condition of Minahasan languages. That being said, in general, Minahasan languages have less prestige than Manado Malay and Indonesian in daily communication in Minahasa.Therefore, in this paper, I would like to argue the importance of language maintenance, especially for endangered languages in Minahasa that such languages should be learned and used by people in Minahasa according to their areas. Moreover, I would explain what are considered to be oral tradition and the previous examples of documented oral tradition in Minahasan languages, then the reason of the importance of oral tradition in language maintenance and language learning.Keywords: Oral Tradition, Minahasan Languages, Language Maintenance

Abstract

This article aims to present a writing about the results of the interpretation of Ecclesiastes 7:1-22 and connect with the youth of GMIM Musafir Kleak. This text gives an overview of human life that is not free from sin, if it is associated with the life of youth, then the problem of youth life is inseparable from negative behavior, which in a theological understanding is called sin. Things related to sin such as involving smoking, alcohol, free sex, nightlife and others. The approach used is a qualitative approach and uses the hermeneutic method of historical criticism to get the original and historical meaning of the text. This text explains all sinful human beings and the advice to live justly and wisely. The implication through this text is that young people should not judge each other and form groups that are exclusive to each other in the youth community but as part of church service, it is necessary to build a togetherness that strengthens each other.
