Abstract

The aristocratic names in South Nias differ from the proper names generally. Instead, it used common nouns to describe name bearers, which are influenced by the language, social, and cultural factors of South Nias. This research was conducted in Öri Maniamölö, South Nias, focusing on four sample villages as members of a group of villages in Öri Maniamölö: Bawömataluo, Hilinawaö Fau, Botohilitanö, and Hilisimaetanö villages. The results of the analysis revealed that aristocratic names in South Nias have meanings categorized into social stratification, natural aspects, instruments and tools, specific names, and human activity. Additionally, there were four functions of aristocratic names in South Nias: as the identifier of someone’s greatness and majesty, as the authority sign of the name bearer, as an identifier of family ancestry, and as the representative of the name bearer’s characteristics. Linguistically, there are four morphological processes in word formation in the data obtained, namely: 1) Prefixation which consisted of {sa-}, {s(i)-}, {so-}, {na-}, {ni-}, {da-}, {fa-}, {ma-}, {mo-}, {me-},{i-}, {te-}/{to-}. Then, 2) Circumfix, which consists of one data, namely {a-ta}, with the role of changing verbs into nouns. Next, 3) Suffixation, which consists of the suffix {-ma}, which functions as a nominalizer. The last process is 4) Reduplication that occurs in the words ‘Daro-daro’ by repeating the same word and still in the same word class as noun.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of the investigation report (BAP) by using forensic linguistics study. This study employs a qualitative approach to analyze the BAP. The primary data used consist of two copies obtained from the Regional Police Department of Southeast Sulawesi. The results show that total of 26 productive questions and 4 non-productive questions were found. The most dominant type of question used in the interrogation of the criminal case of insulting the Tolaki ethnic group is the productive closed question type, with 15 occurrences, representing approximately 46.6 percent. In addition, there were six types of presuppositions were identified as correlating with all speech events. These include existential presupposition, factual presupposition, lexical presupposition, structural presupposition, non-factual presupposition, and temporal clause presupposition. The most dominant type of presupposition found was structural presupposition, with a total of 13 occurrences. These research findings affirm that forensic linguistics plays a strategic role in evaluating the quality of investigative examinations and the evidentiary strength of the BAP. The analysis of question types and presuppositions demonstrates that language is not merely a means of communication, but a legal instrument that can influence the validity of a suspect’s statements. Accordingly, the application of forensic linguistic principles enables an objective assessment of whether a BAP is produced through examination procedures that are fair, non-misleading, and consistent with legal standards of proof.

Abstract

This study examines the ecolexicon of tuo (palm wine) in the Nias language as a reflection of the close relationship between language, environment, and culture in Nias Island, Indonesia. This stud employs qualitative approach to analyze the data. All data were collected in Nias Regency and Gunungsitoli City through observations and interviews with sap tappers and tuo consumers, and other documents such as dictionaries, books, article related study were used as supporting data. The analysis applies the grammatical framework of Bundasgaard (2000)   (2000) to classify tuo lexical items into grammatical categories and to interpret their cultural and ecological meanings. The findings reveal 61 tuo lexical items in the Nias language. These include 19 lexical items for types of tuo, 26 lexical items referring to its natural sources (particularly coconut and aren palm), and 39 lexical items related to tools and the management of tuo. Grammatically, the ecolexicon consists of seven nouns, nineteen verbs, and eight adjectives that describe the qualities, processes, and functions of tuo in daily life. The study also shows that tuo lexical items are embedded in Nias proverbs and song lyrics, which encode moral teachings, social norms, and communal values such as self-control, solidarity, prudence, and respect for others. Overall, the tuo ecolexicon functions not only as a linguistic resource but also as a carrier of cultural identity and ecological knowledge. The study underscores the urgency of documenting and preserving this ecolexicon in the face of modernization and the declining use of traditional vocabulary among younger generations.
