Silvana Sinar , Amrin Saragih , Matius C.A. Sembiring 1, 2, 3, 4 Department of Linguistics, Postgraduate School, University of Sumatera Utara, Indonesia Abstract: This article studies the ideational function within the Nominal Group (NG) in Karo Batak Language (KBL) which is dominantly spoken in Karo Regency, North Sumatra Province (Indonesia). This paper specifically discusses the experiential and logical structures in KBL. The perspective of this study is of course related to Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). Halliday (1986, 2004) argues ideational function can be divided into two subfunctions; the first is the experiential function which is concerned with deictic, numerative, classifier and epithet, thing, and qualifier. The second refers to logical one which is related to modifier, premodifier, and post-modifier. The objectives of the study are to describe the experiential and logical structures within NG and to describe word classes forming NG. The results show that experiential structures within NG have some formations and can be seen as follows: (1) Entity ^ Classifier ^ Deictic ^ Numerative ^ Epithet, (2) Entity ^ Classifier ^ Deictic ^ Epithet ^ Epithet ^ Numerative ^ Epithet, (3) Numerative ^ Entity ^ Classifier ^ Deictic ^ Epithet, (4) Entity ^ Classifier ^ Epithet ^ Deictic ^ Epithet, (5) Numerative ^ Entity ^ Classifier ^ Deictic, (6) Entity ^ Classifier ^ Deictic ^ Epithet ^ Epithet ^ Numerative ^ Epithet. Whereas, the logical structure owns some simple formations such as (1) Thing ^ Modification, (2) Modifier ^ Thing, (3) Thing ^ Modifier, (4) Modifier ^ Thing, and (5) Premodification ^ Thing ^ Post-modification.

Groundwater plays an essential role in the supply of water for various pur- poses, so the use of groundwater must also pay attention to the balance and preservation of the resource itself. The formation of springs can be used as a reference to evaluate the quantity, quality, and continuity of the flow of water coming out of the spring. The shape and size of the spring recharge area are significant for determining the spring protection area, both in quantity and quality. Comprehensive research into the hydrogeological sys- tem is carried out through geological, hydrogeological, and hydroisotope studies. The purposes of this study are (1) to determine the LMWL (Local Meteoric Water Line) of the Sei Bingei Region, (2) to determine the recharge area for the Sei Bingei area and (3) to de- termine the genesis or origin of groundwater that appears in the Sei Bingei area. To answer the objectives, the campaign of water sampling of 23 groundwater and 15 rainwater sam- ples were taken during different months and measure for the 2H/1H(dD) and 18O/16O (d18O) isotope ratios.
