Abstract

This qualitative generative syntactic study aims to discuss the forms of nominal structures and their basic patterns of a Sasak story written in 1992 published in the book “Dewi Rengganis” by applying the X-bar theory to discuss the constituent structure of nominal constructions and answering the question of whether nominal structures should be analyzed as determiner phrases or noun phrases. The result of the study shows in this language the determiners  like ni  ‘this’, and no ‘that’ and possessives like the suffix –na are the head that takes the noun phrase as its complement where the typical order consists of a demonstrative or articles precedes a noun, or demonstrative after the noun.

Abstract

In generative grammar, particularly within X-bar theory, all syntactic structures are endocentric. This principle dictates that a clause or sentence must be analyzed as an inflectional phrase (IP), with the inflectional category as its head. While this principle has been attested across numerous languages and is considered universal, languages like Javanese exhibit patterns distinct from inflectional systems such as English. This study examines the existence of inflectional phrases in Sasaknese, which have not been discussed yet in any other studies of Sasak language, using data from Sasaknese book collected through observational methods. The analysis confirms that Sasaknese lexicons expressing tense, aspect, and modality belong to inflections and project maximally as an Inflectional Phrase.
