Abstract

This study entitled Word Pairs in Relational Opposites in Nobo Dialect of Lamaholot Language: Cultural Linguistic Perspectives. This study is specified into two problem statements formulated in the following questions. (1) What is the word pair in relational opposites of Lamaholot language? (2) What is the order of the word pair in relational opposites in Lamaholot Language? (3) What is the cultural imagery of the Lamaholot language speaker that bases word pairs in Lamaholot language? This study is intended to investigate the kinds, order of the word pairs in relational opposites, and the cultural imagery of the Lamaholot Language. To inspire the study, a number of previous related studies were reviewed. To easily understand, direct, and limit the discussion of the study, a number of basic concepts were defined. To analyze the data, the theory of cultural linguistics operating in lexical system especially word pair was applied. The study is qualitative. The data were obtained through recording, interview, and note taking. For this reason, some elicitation word pairs were prepared. The data were analyzed in several steps: (1) listing the word pairs, (2)translating the word pairs into English by gloss and idiomatic gloss, and (3) interpreting the cultural imagery of Lamaholot Speaker that bases word pairs system. The result of the data analysis is informally described or verbally described. In line with the problem statement there found seventeen chunks of word pairs in relational opposites in Lamaholot Language and its order. Various word pairs of Lamaholot Language were based in various cultural imageries. (1) The order of FEMALE – MALE in word pairs eme – ba‟mother – father‟, oka – moa ’grandmother–grandfather‟, bear the cultural imageries of respect, protection and appreciation of the female gender, because Lamaholot people believe that heaven is under the sole of mother. She is like the Mary mother of God who has the womb. She bears a new life (baby/child). (2) The order of MALE – FEMALE in word pair lake–wae, husband–wife‟ bears the cultural imageries of respect and appreciation because the Lamaholot people consider that lake ‟husband‟ is a protector and head in a family. (3) The order of OLDER – YOUNGER in word pairs eme – ene „father – child‟, ine – ene „mother–child‟ bear the cultural imagery of respect, appreciation and love because the Lamaholot people believe that parents are the representation of God on the earth. (4) The order of ADVERB OF DIRECTION in word pair lau – rae „east – west‟. The cardinal point of lau „east‟ is preceded or prioritized because of direction lau „east‟ is the direction for the sunrise. Lamaholot people consider that sun is the lighter of life. In local religious Lamaholot people believe that Lera Wulan (sun and moon) is the Supreme Being of Lamaholot people. So, Lamaholot people call their God with Bapa Lera Wulan, Ema Tana Ekan (Father of the sun and moon, Mother of the earth).
