Nominal Characteristics in Pakpak Language

Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 10

Abstract

This paper is aimed at describing the nominal characteristics in Pakpak language. The structural morphology theory was employed with specific attention is driven to morphological processes of nominal natures which can be seen from semantic, syntactic as well as morphological natures. The distributional method was used. The results concluded that the nominal characteristics of Pakpak language can be observed from the natures of nominal semantics, nominal syntactics, and nominal morphology. The semantic nature is related to the meanings of nouns and the syntactic nature is related to nominal functions in sentences and to noun phrase markers. The morphological nature of nouns is also related to affixing morphemes of noun class markers, such as penjukjuk 'trapping instrument', penuan 'a person who grows plants', and pengerana 'speaker'. The affix /pe-/ here becomes the nominal markers from the verbal class, for instance jukjuk 'to trap', suan 'to plant' and from the nominal class, such as rana 'word'.
