    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Language Is a System of Communication Used by Human Being Which Consist of A

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of The Study Language is a system of communication used by human being which consist of a set of sounds, symbols, gestures, and signal to desire to others. Language is very important in people daily life because they use language every time in their daily activity to communicate with each other. To communicate means to understand and to express any information, thought, feelings, culture and technology. Thousand of language is spoken in this world one of that is English language, English language important to be learn especially to students because English can improve the quality of social life. English is considered as a foreign language in Indonesia. As students, learn English from the very beginning from their schooling. As a foreign language learner it is not possible to speak English with a proper sound. But Indonesian people always try to learn about English language because Indonesian people realize that how important English in their life. One of the problems for a foreign language learner is that how to accurately utter the speech sound of language main purpose of speaking a language is to communicate with others. Caused demand of technology in this era and we have been free trade in ASEAN economic community since in the beginning 2015, they have to master and develop English especially four skills in English : speaking, listening, writing, reading. Beside to know the four skills of language the students also should master speaking because it is one of important element that has a position in the four language skills.

    Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A

    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes.

  • De Sousa Sinitic MSEA

    De Sousa Sinitic MSEA

    THE FAR SOUTHERN SINITIC LANGUAGES AS PART OF MAINLAND SOUTHEAST ASIA (DRAFT: for MPI MSEA workshop. 21st November 2012 version.) Hilário de Sousa ERC project SINOTYPE — École des hautes études en sciences sociales [email protected]; [email protected] Within the Mainland Southeast Asian (MSEA) linguistic area (e.g. Matisoff 2003; Bisang 2006; Enfield 2005, 2011), some languages are said to be in the core of the language area, while others are said to be periphery. In the core are Mon-Khmer languages like Vietnamese and Khmer, and Kra-Dai languages like Lao and Thai. The core languages generally have: – Lexical tonal and/or phonational contrasts (except that most Khmer dialects lost their phonational contrasts; languages which are primarily tonal often have five or more tonemes); – Analytic morphological profile with many sesquisyllabic or monosyllabic words; – Strong left-headedness, including prepositions and SVO word order. The Sino-Tibetan languages, like Burmese and Mandarin, are said to be periphery to the MSEA linguistic area. The periphery languages have fewer traits that are typical to MSEA. For instance, Burmese is SOV and right-headed in general, but it has some left-headed traits like post-nominal adjectives (‘stative verbs’) and numerals. Mandarin is SVO and has prepositions, but it is otherwise strongly right-headed. These two languages also have fewer lexical tones. This paper aims at discussing some of the phonological and word order typological traits amongst the Sinitic languages, and comparing them with the MSEA typological canon. While none of the Sinitic languages could be considered to be in the core of the MSEA language area, the Far Southern Sinitic languages, namely Yuè, Pínghuà, the Sinitic dialects of Hǎinán and Léizhōu, and perhaps also Hakka in Guǎngdōng (largely corresponding to Chappell (2012, in press)’s ‘Southern Zone’) are less ‘fringe’ than the other Sinitic languages from the point of view of the MSEA linguistic area.

Such questions have been largely based on Enggano’s lexicon, which shows little trace of an Austronesian heritage. In this paper, I examine a wider range of evidence and show that Enggano is clearly an Austronesian language of the Malayo-Polynesian (MP) subgroup. This is achieved through the establishment of regular sound correspondences between Enggano and Proto‒Malayo-Polynesian reconstructions in both the bound morphology and lexicon. I conclude by examining the possible relations of Enggano within MP and show that there is no good evidence of innovations shared between Enggano and any other MP language or subgroup. In the absence of such shared innovations, Enggano should be considered one of several primary branches of MP. 1. INTRODUCTION.1 Enggano is an Austronesian language spoken on the southernmost of the Barrier Islands off the west coast of the island of Sumatra in Indo- nesia; its location is marked by an arrow on map 1. The genetic position of Enggano has remained controversial and unresolved to this day. Two proposals regarding the genetic classification of Enggano have been made: 1.

  • A Case Study of the Hougang Shui Wei Sheng Niang Temple and Its Lantern Festival Celebration

    A Case Study of the Hougang Shui Wei Sheng Niang Temple and Its Lantern Festival Celebration

    religions Article The Hainanese Temples of Singapore: A Case Study of the Hougang Shui Wei Sheng Niang Temple and Its Lantern Festival Celebration Yiwen Ji Department of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore, Singapore 119260, Singapore; [email protected] Received: 25 May 2020; Accepted: 8 July 2020; Published: 10 July 2020 Abstract: Shui Wei Sheng Niang (4>#娘) Temple is located within a united temple at 109a, Hougang Avenue 5, Singapore. Shui Wei Sheng Niang is a Hainanese goddess. the worship of whom is widespread in Hainanese communities in South East Asia. This paper examines a specific Hainanese temple and how its rituals reflect the history of Hainanese immigration to Singapore. The birthday rites of the goddess (Lantern Festival Celebration) are held on the 4th and 14th of the first lunar month. This paper also introduces the life history and ritual practices of a Hainanese Daoist master and a Hainanese theater actress. Keywords: Singapore; Hainanese temples; Shuiwei Shengniang; Daoist masters; opera singers 1. Introduction Although the original Hainan village of Hougang no longer exists in Singapore due to the urbanization and renovation of Singapore, people of that Hainanese community still gather together to celebrate the Lantern Festival and worship the goddess Shui Wei Sheng Niang (4>#娘), who originated from Hainan Island. This shows how Hainanese descendants still have the autonomy to maintain their cultural, religious, and dialect-based identity. The traditional Keepers of the Incense Burners and Village Heads of Ritual are still selected each New Year before celebrations begin. This indicates that the customary institutions of decision-making within the Hainanese community are still alive.

All photos have been taken by the author during his field studies in the region. Siberia and India: Historical Cultural Affinities India and Eurasia have had close social and cultural linkages, as Buddhism spread from India to Central Asia, Mongolia, Buryatia, Tuva and far wide. Buddhism provides a direct link between India and the peoples of Siberia (Buryatia, Chita, Irkutsk, Tuva, Altai, Urals etc.) who have distinctive historico-cultural affinities with the Indian Himalayas particularly due to common traditions and Buddhist culture. Revival of Buddhism in Siberia is of great importance to India in terms of restoring and reinvigorating the lost linkages. The Eurasianism of Russia, which is a Eurasian country due to its geographical situation, brings it closer to India in historical-cultural, political and economic terms.

This study aims to describe the meaning of people's names in the Revised: 01/05/2020 Karo Batak community in Juhar District, Karo Regency, which are the terms of giving Accepted: 01/06/2020 names, types of people's names, categorization of meanings of people's names and Available online: 30/06/2020 cultural values in people's names in the Karo Batak community. This research uses the anthropoliguistic approach (cultural liguistic) put forward by Kridalaksana and Beratha which states that cultural linguistics is a study of the position and function of language in a broader social and cultural context which has a role in shaping and maintaining cultural practices and social structures of society. This study also uses the onomastic theory which states that semantics is the study of the relationship between linguistic signs and the things they sign. From the results of the data assessment, it can be concluded that the naming of people in the Batak Karo community in Juhar sub-district is done by means of custom in giving names.
