Abstract

The notion of colour has been an interesting yet controversial topic especially in the field of linguistics. Some scholars (Berlin and Kay, 1969) argued that every human being should have an insight of the basic colour terms as the universal inventory since the beginning. While other scholar (Wierzbicka, 1996) argued that rather than the colour concept as an inherent nature, it should be a dependant nature in which its terms was emerged because of what have been seen before. This long debate over the colour concept ties to a phenomenon that occurs in one of the indigenous languages in the Eastern part of Indonesia, namely Pelauw. This language apparently does not have any colour terms in its vocabulary as all the words for colour found in this language are borrowed from Bahasa Indonesia. To investigate this strange phenomenon, therefore, this paper will aim to examine the absence of colour concept in Pelauw language, and to use Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach (Goddard and Wierzbicka, 2014) for analyzing the terms ‘manggahina’ and ‘mete’ which are somehow used to address white and black colours, respectively. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods to explain the phenomenon under study using NSM, which in this case, the absence of colour concept in Pelauw language. The results show that colour concept is not something which universally exists to begin with, instead, it is just a result of what have been seen through the vision that visualised and emerged as the colour terms. It is attested through the analysis of terms ‘manggahina’ and ‘mete’ using NSM which concludes that these terms are rather a visual descriptor than a colour concept.

Abstract

The Gane language, an indigenous language in South Halmahera, is at a critical stage of language shift, particularly among the younger generation. This study aims to document the patterns of Gane language use, identify the driving factors of its shift, and analyze the attitudes of senior high school students amidst this phenomenon. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with senior high school students, teachers, principals, and community leaders, as well as observations in school and social settings. The findings indicate that the use of the Gane language among students is significantly low, having lost its primary communicative domains to the dominance of Indonesian and Ternate Malay. The primary driving factors are the penetration of technology and social media, peer pressure that associates dominant languages with modernity, and the lack of economic value and prestige of the Gane language. Amidst this situation, a crucial paradox was discovered: students reject the use of the Gane language in practice, yet consciously express positive attitudes, admiration, and a strong desire to preserve it as a symbol of identity. This finding implies that revitalization strategies must be youth-centric, integrating formal school policies (curriculum) with informal, digital community-based movements that are relevant to their world.
