Abstract

This study examines the traditional culinary lexicon of the Batak Toba ethnic group in North Sumatra, Indonesia, with a particular focus on the lexical structures and semantic dimensions of traditional food names. Culinary terminology in this community reflects cultural values, indigenous knowledge, and ancestral traditions. The research aims to identify and analyze the morphological processes and semantic interpretations underlying these food names. A qualitative descriptive method was used, employing structured interviews with native Batak Toba speakers, particularly culinary informants, as well as observational techniques. Data were analyzed using lexical semantics and morphological frameworks. Findings reveal that Batak Toba food names are linguistically complex and culturally rich, incorporating elements such as preparation techniques, symbolic meanings, and ritual significance. Terms like arsik, saksang, and naniura convey not only ingredients and methods but also reflect the cosmology and beliefs of the Batak Toba people. This study contributes to the fields of ethnolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and cultural preservation. It emphasizes the importance of documenting traditional culinary terminology amidst globalization and linguistic homogenization. Future research should broaden the scope to include multiple informants and ethnic subgroups to enhance the generalizability and depth of analysis.

Abstract

By using the results from the ELSA Speak application, the pronunciation skills of second-year English majors at Universitas HKBP Nommensen Medan were examined. The ELSA Speak Application was utilized to determine the kinds of pronunciation faults made by second-year students at the English Department of FKIP Universitas HKBP Nommensen Medan. This study used a descriptive qualitative research design. The ELSA Speak Application and documentation were used to collect data from students' pronunciation diagnoses. Twenty students were selected as the sample, with the population of the study consisting of the students in the English Department at FKIP Universitas HKBP Nommensen Medan. The following are the conclusions: The majority of the sample found that they would "try again" and "almost correct”. Most of the ‘try again’ categories occurred when students pronounced words in which the sounds were not familiar in the student’s native language which is Bahasa Indonesia, such as /tʃ/. The other words with the ‘try again’ category are found when students pronounce words with subtle sounds and are called because the sound produced is close to a predictable sound so it can be concluded that every word can be understood such as /ŋ/, /v/. The other category of ‘almost correct’ is found in the lateral consonant /l/ and consonant cluster /ft/.

Abstract

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui kemampuan pengucapan siswa pada mahasiswa tahun kedua Jurusan Bahasa Inggris, Universitas HKBP Nommensen, Medan berdasarkan Aplikasi ELSA Speak. Untuk mengetahui jenis kesalahan apa saja yang terjadi dalam pengucapan bahasa Inggris pada mahasiswa tahun kedua Jurusan Bahasa Inggris FKIP HKBP Universitas Nommensen Medan berdasarkan Aplikasi ELSA Speak. Desain penelitian pada penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Data diambil dari diagnosis pengucapan siswa dengan menggunakan Aplikasi ELSA Speak dan dokumentasi. Populasi penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa Jurusan Bahasa Inggris FKIP HKBP Universitas Nommensen Medan, dan sampel diambil sebanyak 20 mahasiswa. Temuannya adalah sebagai berikut: sebagian besar siswa mengidentifikasi 'coba lagi' dan 'hampir benar'. Sebagian besar kategori 'coba lagi' terjadi ketika siswa mengucapkan kata-kata yang bunyinya tidak familiar dalam bahasa ibu siswa yaitu Bahasa Indonesia, seperti /tʃ/, /ɔː/, /ʊ/, /ə/, /i :/, /ɑː/ diftong /aʊ/ dan /eə/. Kata lain dengan kategori ‘coba lagi’ ditemukan ketika siswa mengucapkan kata-kata yang bunyinya halus dan disebut demikian karena bunyi yang dihasilkan mendekati bunyi yang dapat ditebak sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa setiap kata dapat dipahami seperti /ŋ/, / v/. Kategori 'hampir benar' lainnya terdapat pada konsonan lateral /l/ dan gugus konsonan /ft/. Disimpulkan bahwa kesalahan siswa dominan mengacu pada kesalahan Interferensi Fonologis dan kesalahan bunyi non-pribumi.
