“…Furthermore, Sundanese is an SVO language; that is, subjects always precede verbs and objects while prepositional phrases or complements follow verbs. These results were similar to what have been found in previous literature (e.g., Hardjadibrata, 1985;Müller, 2001;and Doran and Bangga, 2022). Interestingly, the word aja 'exist/here', which denotes the meaning of existence, was present before prepositions in some sentences of the data, and it seemed to appear in sentences with no overt main verbs.…”

Sundanese is an indigenous language that is spoken in West Java, Indonesia. This study considers the phonology, morphology, and syntax of Sundanese based on a corpus of more than two hundred words. It specifically aims to contribute to the literature of the language by providing some linguistic characteristics of Sundanese and comparing results to what has been previously introduced in the literature. Some previous studies of Sundanese have extensively covered the syntactic and some morphological structures of the language, but only a few studies have covered the phonological aspects. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the morphological, syntactic, and phonological aspects of Sundanese based on the production of a native speaker of the language. The participant translated all words into Sundanese and provided the singular and the plural forms for each word in the list. The participant also produced sentences using the same words in the corpus. Data were then observed, and patterns were grouped and categorized for analysis. Results showed some similarities and differences to the findings of previous work in the field. Conclusions were drawn and comparisons were made where appropriate.

“…Systemic functional linguistics (SFL) is a linguistic model focusing on the relationship between language and social structure [1]. Given the trend of more comprehensive and detailed academic development, many studies focusing on lower-ranking grammatical units have appeared using the SFL model, including nominal groups in Sundanese, Tagalog, Lhasa Tibetan and Khorchin Mongolian, for example [2][3][4] [5]. However, those mainly focus on common nouns and proper names have yet to be discussed much.…”

Analysing the Structure of Proper Names Used as Vocatives in English under the Systemic Functional Linguistics Model

This paper analyses the structures of English proper names which are used as vocatives under the SFL (systemic functional linguistics) model. The procedure of analysis is as follows: first, viewing previous literature offers a chance to refer to plenty of examples of vocatives while providing a theoretical basis for this research. Second, most examples used in this paper are proposed by an English native speaker and the author together. This native speaker is qualified to cover the most common uses of vocatives considering his experience of saying vocatives to others and hearing them from others. Third, the method of attesting to some relatively uncommon usage is that the author comes up with a potential structure first and then searches for real-world examples that can support that assumption in trustworthy sources such as specific corpora and public speech. Therefore, although this may be a preliminary analysis, leaving issues that require further discussion, hopefully, this work will prove a step forward in this under-researched area.
