Abstract

The study of regional languages is a critical component of a nation's cultural and linguistic heritage. As such, it is imperative to conduct in-depth research into the meanings and nuances of regional languages. In this study, the Bima language (ngahi mbojo), which belongs to the Bima-Sumba language family and is widely spoken in the Bima and Dompu districts, was examined to map and explicate verbs with the concept of 'lean'. To gather the necessary data, oral and written sources were used, including storybooks in the Bima language. The research methodology utilized a combination of interviews and literature review, while the verification method was employed to collect and analyze the data. The method, which involves the alteration of form and the use of paraphrasing techniques, was utilized to determine the original meaning of the verb and its explication, resulting in 65 points of analysis. The study revealed that Bima language verbs with 'lean' can be mapped to entities, processes, tools, and results. Specifically, the lexicon used to express the concept of 'leaning' includes maru (sleeping), santengi (leaning), doho (sitting), oko (squatting), kidi (standing), and tu'u (getting up).

Abstract

Bima language verbs constitute one of the primary and complex word classes, pivotal in speech for their ability to determine the presence of arguments and assign semantic roles to each accompanying argument. This research aims to elucidate the configuration of meaning and explication of the verb 'refine' in the Bima language. The data source comprises oral data collected from native speakers in Bima Regency, West Southeast Nusa. Data collection employed the listening method and note-taking techniques. The analysis utilized the Natural Semantic Metalanguage Theory (NSM), applying the equivalent method to analyze semantic structures and meaning components, and the distribution method to examine semantic roles. The findings reveal that the verbs in the Bima lexicon associated with 'refine' are categorized as action verbs, exhibiting exponents of incompositional polysemy such as 'doing' and 'happening'. This indicates that while the verb 'refine' maintains a consistent core meaning, it encompasses specific nuances critical for accurate language use. The verb 'refine' in Bima is mapped to several semantic domains: entity, process, tool, and result. It encompasses a range of meanings expressed by the lexicons: Soro (shove), kampao (smooth), ramba (sharpen), goso, soso (rub), kaniu (smooth), saruncu (to grind), pana`a (chewing), khasbi (pounding), kiru (crushing), gili (grinding), ndina (stomping), ledi (working), and mbaju (pounding). This research represents the first comprehensive study of the 'refine' verb in the Bima language, providing crucial insights into its semantic structure and usage.

Abstract

Pamali is a form of local wisdom that has been passed down from generation to generation and is still believed by some people today. Pamali reflects prohibitions or warnings that are believed to bring bad luck if violated. The purpose of this study is to determine the realization of Pamali words in Sasak culture as expressions and usage in pronouns, as well as the cultural values of Pamali words, and to describe Pamali in supporting the sustainability of knowledge and noble traditions within the framework of SDGs. This study is based on linguistic anthropology and ethnography theories. Data in this study were collected by applying participatory observation and in-depth interview methods, accompanied by recording and note-taking techniques. The data were analyzed using two methods: the Miles and Haberman analysis model (data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion) and the Spradley analysis model. The results of the analysis show that the Sasak people view pamali as a norm that, if upheld, can create peace and tranquility in life; conversely, if violated, it can lead to dehumanization. The word pamali is practiced by the Sasak people in the form of greetings, which are used in the form of nouns and are closely related to cultural and ethical norms. Pamali in Sasak society serves to regulate politeness and maintain social harmony through pronouns that are sensitive to age and status, where violations are considered to be a violation of honor. This practice also preserves cultural knowledge and supports the sustainability of local traditions within the framework of the SDGs.
