Abstract

The onomatopoeia discussed in this article is specifically those of the Javanese words, such as the words used in Javanese magazines, Djaka Lodang (DJ), Panjebar Semangat (PS), and Jaya Baya (JB). The described Javanese onomatopoeia words were adjusted to the formation process according to Brandstatter's theory, the onomatopoeic elements can, therefore, be identified. The Javanese onomatopoeic words were analyzed based on qualitative methods, by referring to two techniques of data analysis (Sudaryanto's method), namely the technique of directly comparing the linguistic elements (which Sudaryanto termed agih), and comparing the elements of language with elements outside the language (‘padan’ equivalent), such as utterances or articulators.The onomatopoeic elements in a number of words can be explained based on the formation of root words derived from sound imitation, the type of sound moving objects and its phonestemic aspects, such as the opposition of the size of the sound, and so forth. In this study there are several types of sound imitation, such as sounds of bursting, friction, rounding, rolling, throwing, falling, slapping, opening-closing sounds, coming out- coming in sounds, absorption sounds, etc. This article provides an evidence for the richness of the Javanese words in terms of the sound imitation. Therefore, not only Japanese and Korean are identical to onomatopoeia, the Javanese language spoken in the Island of Java, Indonesia is quite rich with onomatopoeia, especially the secondary one. In addition, the results of this study will hopefully be beneficial for those doing similar studies.

Abstract

Cassava made dishes are really acquainted to locals, particularly in Java. This food is very varied, both in terms of its form and how it is processed. Consequently, cassava-made foods have a variety of names. Such as gethuk [gəṭU?], thiwul [ṭiwUl], gablog [gablͻg], gathot [gaṭͻt], lanthing [lanṭIŋ], lemet [ləmɛt], lentuk [lənṭU?], cemplon [ʧəmplͻn], sawut [sawUt], as well as numerous others.  Furthermore, cassava made dishes of the same type and shape but with different names were discovered in several areas. Because this paper only discusses the background of naming foods from cassava based on features of human senses, thus naming variations are not the case. This is a field study designed with a qualitative research method that provides data descriptions as well as analysis results descriptions. Field data were collected from respondents who were considered capable of providing (purposive) information about traditional cassava made dishes. As additional data, the data were obtained from the internet. Refering to Sudaryanto’s concept, distributional (agih) and identity (padan) methodological approaches. The analysis begins with identifying words and root words in traditional food names, then words and root words are associated with phonetic and onomatopoeic aspects, and finally analyzed their relationship which featuring the human senses. The results revealed that naming cassava made dishes with descriptions of the senses of hearing, sight, and motion. This study seeks to uncover something previously unknown about traditional Javanese food, specifically the background of naming food from the perception of depicting the human senses. Therefore, the study informed readers who are unfamiliar with the origins of naming traditional foods that are associated with the illustration of the human senses.
