A Study of Homonym in Kupang-Malay Language Used by the Eighth-Semester Students of English Study Program of Nusa Cendana University in the Academic Year of 2024
- Bagikan:
This research investigates the use of homonyms in the Kupang-Malay language, focusing on three main questions: (1) What homonyms used by eight- semester students of the English Study Program at Nusa Cendana University in the academic year 2024? (2) What word classes does each and every homonym used by rhe students belong to? (3) Why do students use homonyms in their conversations? The subjects of this study were five eight-semester students from the English Study Program at Nusa Cendana University. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and recordings, and analyzed through transcription, selection, and description. The findings reveal that: (1) Fifteen homonyms are commonly used by the students in Kupang-Malay, each with distinct denotative and connotative meanings. These homonyms are complete homonyms, sharing the same pronunciation and spelling in both spoken and written forms. (2) Some homonyms belong to the same word class in both denotative and connotative meanings, while others shift word class between meanings. (3) Students frequently use homonyms in informal conversations, particularly with friends and family, and they help avoid misunderstandings by relying on context. Additionally, homonyms play a role in expressing emotions such as humor, sarcasm, and frustration in communication.
