How Nias Sees English Personal Pronouns Used as Preposition Objects

Ingatan Gulö

Abstract


Abstract: This paper was a part of study contrasting functions of Nias personal pronouns with those of English. While English have only two types of personal pronouns, the subjective and the objective cases, Nias has four, all of which are possible to be made subjects or objects. Thus, describing how both languages realise these functions is complex. To see how they work, personal pronouns in both languages were collected from short stories and analysedfrom the perspective of contrastive analysis. One of the main findings was that Nias renders English personal pronouns being objects of prepositions in more complex constructions; not using its personal pronouns. This paper, focusing on discussing those constructions and, by doing so, aimed to reveal an aspect of Nias linguistics in relation to that of English. 

 

Keywords: Nias, personal pronoun, Li Niha, preposition object

 

Abstrak: Artikel ini adalah bagian dari riset yang mengontraskan fungsi kata ganti bahasa Nias dengan fungsi kata ganti bahasa Inggris. Sementara kata ganti dalam bahasa Inggris hanya terdiri dari dua kelompok, satu untuk subjek dan satu untuk objek, kata ganti bahasa Nias terdiri dari empat kelompok yang hampir semuanya dapat berfungsi sebagai subjek atau objek. Karena itu, mendeskripsikan bagaimana kedua bahasa merealisasikan fungsi-fungsi ini adalah kompleks. Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, dikumpulkan data penggunaan kata ganti dalam kedua bahasa dari beberapa cerita pendek. Fungsi kata-kata ganti tersebut dianalisa dari perspektif linguistik kontrastif. Salah satu dari temuan utama adalah bahwa bahasa Nias merealisasikan kata ganti bahasa Inggris yang berfungsi sebagai objek preposisi dengan frasa-frasa yang kompleks, bukan dengan kata ganti. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan struktur frasa-frasa tersebut agar aspek bahasa Nias ini dapat dipahami dalam kaitannya dengan bahasa Inggris.

 

Kata-kata kunci: bahasa Nias, kata ganti, Li Niha, objek preposisi
