Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to identify and analyze variations in subject–verb agreement patterns in German and English through an examination of the short story Hänsel und Gretel. The study employs a qualitative contrastive analysis method based on the fairy tale. The analysis focuses on the number of subjects (singular and plural), the use of the past tense, copular verbs, and constructions with modal verbs. The findings reveal six main patterns that reflect the characteristics of each language. Some patterns show similarities, such as singular subjects in the past tense with third-person singular verb forms, as well as constructions with copular and modal verbs in the singular form. However, there are also significant differences, particularly in the use of verbs for plural subjects and plural modal verb constructions. These findings indicate that German has a more complex conjugation system compared to the simpler and more consistent English system. Therefore, the results can help language learners understand the structural differences between German and English and improve the accuracy of grammatical pattern usage in learning and communicationKeywords: Variation, Pattern Subject-Verb Agreement, Morphosyntax, Short Story

Data was obtained through observation, interview, recording, and recording techniques of informants who were directly involved in the implementation of the tradition. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using an interactive qualitative analysis model from Miles and Huberman. The results of this study show that there is a distinctive cultural lexicon in the tayuban tradition that reflects the names of equipment, actors, and procedures for its implementation, which contain cultural values and local wisdom of the local community.

Abstract

Toponymy is a branch of linguistics that examines the interrelationship between language, culture, and environment through place naming. In coastal regions, place names often reflect geographical features, natural elements, and community perceptions of their surroundings. This study aims to uncover the referential meanings embedded in coastal toponyms by employing a referential semantics approach. The analysis interprets the relationship between the linguistic form of each toponym and its real-world referent, while classifying naming motivations using the Australian National Placenames Survey (ANPS) typology. The findings reveal that referential meanings predominantly represent denotative and ecological relations, indicating that coastal toponyms are grounded in physical and environmental features. This is evident from the dominance of the Descriptive category (50.0%), followed by the Associative (20.5%) and Evaluative (15.9%) categories. These categories reflect not only geographical and ecological characteristics but also cultural associations and value-laden expressions embedded in naming practices. Beyond its theoretical contribution, this study offers practical implications for cultural heritage preservation. The analysis of semantic motivations behind place naming can serve as a linguistic foundation for documenting traditional toponyms, supporting local government efforts to standardize and preserve place names, and strengthening intangible cultural heritage initiatives in coastal communities. The findings also highlight the need to safeguard environmentally based toponyms that encode ecological knowledge, particularly in areas undergoing environmental change and urban development.

Abstract

Bahasa merupakan refleksi dari kenyataan sosial yang merepresentasikan hubungan manusia dengan lingkungan alam dan sosial-budayanya. Penamaan unsur geografis, termasuk nama desa, tidak terlepas dari pengalaman ekologis dan historis masyarakat penuturnya. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bentuk pola penamaan nama desa yang berunsur air di Kabupaten Demak. Data penelitian diperoleh dari laman Badan Pusat Statistik Kabupaten Demak, Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah Kabupaten Demak, Dinas Pariwisata Kabupaten Demak, pemerintah desa di Kabupaten Demak, serta wawancara dengan narasumber yang memahami sejarah dan kondisi wilayah setempat. Data dianalisis menggunakan teori linguistik ekologis Haugen (1972) untuk melihat keterkaitan bahasa dengan lingkungan, serta teori variasi bahasa Holmes (1992) untuk mengidentifikasi variasi bentuk dan penggunaan bahasa dalam penamaan desa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penamaan desa berunsur air di Kabupaten Demak mencerminkan kondisi ekologis wilayah pesisir dan perairan, serta pengalaman sosial masyarakatnya. Secara struktural, penamaan tersebut didominasi oleh pola pemajemukan nomina + adjektiva (N + Adj) sebagai bentuk yang paling umum digunakan. Selain itu, ditemukan variasi leksikal sebagai penanda unsur air, seperti banyu, kali, tlogo, tambak, kedung, dan karang, yang masing-masing merepresentasikan karakteristik geografis, fungsi lingkungan, dan nilai budaya lokal.   Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada kajian linguistik ekologis dan toponimi dengan mengungkap pola pemajemukan dan variasi leksikal penanda unsur air dalam nama desa di Kabupaten Demak, yang merefleksikan relasi antara struktur kebahasaan, kondisi ekologis pesisir, dan pengalaman sosial masyarakat setempat.
