Abstract

Kata menggembirakan memiliki sifat yang sangat unik. Dalam KBBI, kata tersebut hanya didefinisikan sebagai verba, namun dalam data korpus, penggunaannya sebagai adjektiva jauh lebih banyak daripada verba. Fakta tersebut menunjukkan bahwa penutur jati bahasa Indonesia menggunakan kata tersebut berdasarkan informasi kata yang tersimpan di dalam benak mereka tanpa acuan makna seperti kamus. Informasi tentang bagaimana suatu kata digunakan dalam suatu kalimat yang tersimpan di dalam benak dideskripsikan dalam konsep pengetahuan konseptual (Randall, 2007). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi serta mendeskripsikan pengetahuan konseptual kata menggembirakan yang masih bersifat abstrak dengan pendekatan korpus linguistik, khususnya analisis koleksem. Data kebahasaan dikumpulkan dari Leipzig Corpora Collection dengan metode simak, lalu hasil analisis koleksem diuji dengan kuesioner yang dijawab oleh penutur jati bahasa Indonesia. Data yang dikumpulkan dianalisis dengan metode agih dengan teori sintaksis umum bahasa Indonesia. Hasil analisis menunjukkan empat ciri penggunaan kata menggembirakan sebagai adjektiva. Berdasarkan karakteristik penggunaan tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa penutur jati bahasa Indonesia mengkonseptualkan menggembirakan sebagai adjektiva deskriptif yang khusus memerikan karakteristik nomina non-animasi yang dapat membuat seseorang menjadi gembira.

Abstract

This study seeks to identify and analyze semantic shifts in vocabulary from the Proto-Austronesian (PAN) language to the Mandailing language, employing a comparative historical linguistic approach. The principal data sources are a Proto-Austronesian vocabulary list and a collection of basic vocabulary obtained directly from native Mandailing speakers. The selected vocabulary items demonstrate similarities in both form and meaning. Data were collected using in-depth interviews with native Mandailing speakers to gather authentic and contextually relevant vocabulary and semantic data. Additionally, participatory observations were conducted to capture the context of vocabulary usage in everyday life that can affect changes in meaning. Data analysis was conducted through a process of data condensation, followed by the organization and presentation of the findings in descriptive narratives. Subsequently, data interpretation and conclusion drawing were carried out based on patterns and themes that emerged from the presented data. The results of the study revealed four main types of changes in meaning: broadening, narrowing, bifurcation, and shifting. This study contributes to the fields of historical linguistics and semantics, highlighting the importance of understanding meaning changes within the broader context of the linguistic and cultural evolution of the Mandailing people.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the process of loanword adaptation in Indonesian, focusing specifically on those with foreign suffixes and treating this phenomenon as a truncation process. Traditionally, Indonesian loanwords have been analyzed as undergoing a regular phonological process, as they often involve only a single segmental change. However, in some instances, the changes involve more than one segment, which challenges the explanatory power of the regular phonological approach. Since this approach can account only for single-segment changes, it proves inadequate in such cases. To address this issue, we propose analyzing these loanwords as a syllable truncation, in which foreign suffixes are truncated and replaced with Indonesian suffixes. The loanwords examined in this study are derived from Dutch and were retrieved from the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI). The study finds that the Indonesian suffix /tas/ actually replaces the Dutch suffix /-teit/. Truncation, in this context, is treated as a form of reduplication, wherein only the root word is copied into the reduplicative morpheme, following the constraint BASE ≠ RED. Importantly, only the reduplicative morpheme needs to appear in the output, followed by the /tas/ suffix. To account for this pattern, the constraints OCP(X) and ALIGN-PROSODIC-STEM are employed in the analysis. This study thus views Indonesian loanwords as undergoing phonological changes of entire syllables rather than individual segments. Furthermore, it treats truncation as a form of reduplication, suggesting a strong relationship between the two processes as interconnected aspects of prosodic morphology.

Abstract

This paper investigates the dialectal divergence within Alorese, an Austronesian language spoken across the Alor and Pantar islands in eastern Indonesia. Based on primary fieldwork conducted in 2018 and 2020, this study analyzes lexical, phonological, and morphological data collected from 13 Alorese-speaking villages. The primary aim is to determine whether the language varieties spoken on Alor and Pantar constitute distinct dialects, and to identify the linguistic features that define them. The analysis reveals consistent patterns of variation: eastern Alor varieties exhibit conservative phonological traits, such as the retention of Proto-Alorese *f and the use of glottal stops, while Pantar varieties display innovations including *f > w and morphophonological restructuring. Morphologically, personal pronouns and demonstratives differ systematically between the two groups, with Pantar showing greater diversity and borrowing from Indonesian. Lexically, several key items, such as terms for all, many, and person, reflect parallel divergence. These linguistic patterns correlate with geographic distribution, historical trade routes, and sociolinguistic contact, particularly with Papuan and Malay-speaking populations. The findings provide robust evidence for distinguishing between the Alor and Pantar dialects of Alorese and contribute to broader discussions of dialect formation and contact-driven change in eastern Indonesia.

Abstract

This research investigates language evolution and linguistic kinship on the island of Sumatra. It also extends coverage to cognate languages in other regions. The languages studied include those spoken by various ethnic groups, namely Aceh, Gayo (Aceh), Batak Toba, Mandailing (North Sumatra), Rejang, Serawai (Bengkulu), Melayu Bangka, and Kayu Agung (Bangka Belitung). The main objectives are (1) to investigate how quantitative and qualitative analyses reveal kinship relationships between Acehnese (AT) and Gayo (GT) in Aceh, Batak Toba (BTT) and Batak Mandailing (BMT) in North Sumatra, Rejang (RT) and Serawai (ST) in Bengkulu, and Melayu Bangka (MBT) and Kayu Agung (KAT) in Bangka Belitung; (2) to identify and present empirical evidence to determine the divergence time for each language pair, and (3) to classify the studied languages into specific kinship groups and to identify the proportions of kinship relationships among languages in Aceh, North Sumatra, Bengkulu, and Bangka Belitung. This research used the lexicostatistical and glottochronological methods developed by Swadesh. Word kinship was evaluated using a list of 200 words. The results showed significant differences among the eight languages. The languages in North Sumatra Province and Bengkulu, for example, had a low similarity rate of 17%. The kinship percentage of local languages in Bengkulu and Bangka Belitung provinces averaged 50.5%. This places them in the “Language of Family” category, indicating a correlation in vocabulary despite variations in phonetic elements and dialects. Glottochronological calculations estimate the time of separation between the languages to range from 430 BC to 3,590 AD. This research makes a significant contribution and plays a vital role in supporting language documentation and preservation. It also helps to understand the social and cultural dynamics that influence language development in society.

Abstract

Satuan lingual -e bahasa Jawa Cirebon memiliki dua alomorf), yaitu -e dan -ne. Berdasarkan buku Tata Bahasa Jawa Mutakhir, alomorf -e dapat melekat pada kata berakhiran fonem konsonan dan alomorf -ne dapat melekat pada kata berakhiran fonem vokal. Akan tetapi, data bahasa Jawa Cirebon menunjukkan bahwa alomorf -e dan -ne dapat melekat pada kata yang berakhir dengan fonem vokal. Penelitian deskriptif kualitatif ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan pengaruh fonem akhir kata terhadap alomorf  -e dan -ne dalam bahasa Jawa Cirebon dengan ragam sumber data yang berbeda. Sumber data ragam tulis berasal dari buku Kumpulan Jogregan dan Demang Karang Kletak (Naskah Drama Cerbonan). Sumber data ragam lisan berupa wawancara dan obrolan WhatsApp berbahasa Jawa Cirebon. Penyediaan data diproses menggunakan AntConc. Data pada penelitian ini adalah kata-kata berakhiran satuan lingual -e. Analisis dilakukan berdasarkan fonem akhir kata, suku kata, dan kategori. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa -e dalam bahasa Jawa Cirebon tidak dipengaruhi oleh fonem akhir kata yang dilekati, sedangkan -ne mendapat pengaruh. Satuan lingual -e yang melekat pada fonem vokal mempengaruhi fonotaktik bahasa Jawa dan membentuk deret vokal baru.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of hedges in an interfaith podcast dialogue featuring six religious figures representing Indonesia’s officially recognized religions. Specifically, it examines the types and functions of hedging in spoken religious discourse using data collected from an episode of the LOGIN podcast. All utterances containing hedging devices were identified and categorized into structural types, and their pragmatic roles were analyzed through qualitative descriptive methods grounded in pragmatic theory. The findings reveal that there are three major types of hedges that are actively used to manage interpersonal dynamics and negotiate meaning in a pluralistic context. Shields were the most frequent type (38.89%), followed by attribution markers (33.33%) and approximators (27.78%). Functionally, hedges performed epistemic, affective, and discourse-management role, which allow speakers to express uncertainty, soften claims, and maintain dialogic openness. These strategies helped speakers express their convictions while respecting differing beliefs for fostering mutual understanding. It is expected that this study contributes to the understanding of how hedging operates in religiously diverse, media-mediated interactions, and highlights its pragmatic value in maintaining a tolerant interfaith dialogue.

Abstract

Our study investigated whether Indonesian affixations affect speakers’ construal of base lexical forms. The participants in this study completed a drawing task with duration serving as an indirect index of construal. We hypothesized that affixed forms would require longer drawing durations due to the schematic meaning embedded by grammatical morphemes. Experiment 1 tested noun-based form batas, Experiment 2 tested verb-based form tumbuh, and Experiment 3 tested adjective-based form cepat, each with their respective affixed forms.  Experiment 1 yielded partial significant results: three affixed forms (batasan, pembatasan, and membatas) required significantly longer drawing durations than the base form. Experiment 2 showed no significant effects, while Experiment 3 suggested overall significance although post-hoc tests failed to validate specific pairwise differences. Despite mixed results, this study provides preliminary evidence that Indonesian derivational affixation influences construal, thus providing preliminary experimental evidence for construal effects of derivational morphology in Indonesian cognitive semantics.

Abstract

This study investigates how junior high school students construct and re-encode meanings in response to misinformation about the Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) [Free Nutritious Meals] program on TikTok. It examines students’ encoding patterns in the comment space, the linguistic register and multimodal features they use, and how students’ perceptions of the hoax and teachers’ views on digital literacy contextualize these practices. Using a qualitative case study design, this study combines content analysis of 33 TikTok comments with online interviews conducted via Zoom and WhatsApp with ten students and five teachers. Inductive analysis shows five encoding forms: emotional expression (39%), direct criticism (33%), sarcasm/irony (9%), neutral clarification (15%), and others (3%). Linguistically, 70% of the comments used digital slang. Interviews indicate varied digital literacy, while teachers reported informal classroom integration. These findings underscore the need to strengthen school-based digital literacy education to support adolescents’ information resilience.
