“…Here, all levels of representation are coindexed with one another. We voluntarily leave the semantic level relatively vague, as there are quite diverse ways to approach lexical semantics (see Acquaviva et al (2020) for an overview). Figure 126 is an arbitrarily chosen number representing the index of the entry.…”

In most of the literature on English phonology, historically prefixed words such as contain, respect or submit are seen as having no morphological structure synchronically. However, such words were treated as complex in the early generative literature and are still analysed in that way in part of the literature. In this paper, we seek to review the evidence for the claim that such words are simplex words, which predicts that they should pattern with words with no internal structure in their phonological and morphological behaviours and in psycholinguistic experiments. We show that the evidence does not support that claim and shows that these words should be treated as morphologically complex units, although they differ from words with productive morphology. As these words tend to be partly or entirely opaque semantically, this raises the question of how such structures may be learned. We argue that the recurrence of forms is the main factor leading to their identification and lay out a possible order of acquisition of various morphological structures. Finally, we argue that theories of phonology may account for this by allowing the reference to morphological constituents whose semantics are impoverished.

“…The lexicons of the tradition of Rebo Buntung reflect the relationship between cultures, humans, spiritual, and nature in ecology. Each lexicon found in the Rebo Buntung tradition has a lexical meaning; according to Martinet, lexical meaning as an extralinguistic phenomenon does not necessarily impact the intralinguistic relations that form the language system (Acquaviva et al, 2020). This language documentation is important for a cultural inheritance to the next generation or their posterity.…”

An Ecolinguistic Study on Ecospiritual Tourism of Rebo Buntung Commoddification

et al. 2021

The research examined the relationship between cultural ritual, linguistic, and ecology in the context of ecotourism. It aimed to encourage, stimulate, and integrate the use of religious tradition’s terms in understanding and reinterpreting the environment and human relations and its roles. Cultural forms and elements basically had the potential to be used as a tourism commodity, meaning that they could be commodified. The research also related to ecolinguistics, a study that discussed language associated with the environment in which the language grew and developed and how it was used by the community. Cultural rituals as a tourism commodity could be a means of maintaining culture and language even though they were commodified for tourism purposes. Thus, the religious-cultural structure of Rebo Buntung and Tetulaq Tamperan should be packaged following its original structure as a medium for cultural and language preservation but also packaged as attractively as possible with a contextual structure that adapted to tourism sites so that could attract tourists. This ecospiritual commodification was expected to be able to budge the economy of the surrounding community. The research was conducted at Ketapang Beach, Tanjung Menangis, Pringgabaya district, and East Lombok where Rebo Buntung ritual was carried out. The research applied a qualitative descriptive method. For this reason, the data obtained were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis by describing the data obtained from an informant. On that basis, it can be concluded that the practice of ecospriritual commodification can have multiple effects, not only to preserve culture and language but also to maintain community harmony with nature, as well as improve the economy of the local community.

Th is paper presents a computational approach to the automatic detection of language patterns, specifi cally those dealing with expressing colors in the Croatian language. It investigates diff erent lexicalization patterns of color terms, mainly compounds and multiword units, in order to classify them and prepare them for usage in the design of an algorithm that will automatically recognize and annotate these expressions in Croatian text. Th e paper also presents a comparative analysis of diff erent classes of color terms found in a corpus built from books intended for younger (CLC) and older (ALC) populations. Finally, the research data is presented through a dictionary of three types of color terms categorized as multiword expressions.
