Abstract
This study discusses causative construction in Acehnese language typologically. The problems studied were (1) the type of causative construction of the Aceh language typologically, (2) the relationship of the causative construction of Aceh language in typology, and (3) structures that establish the causative construction of Acehnese language. Research data, both oral and written, were obtained by speaking and listening methods. All data are examined by the identity and distributional methods. The results of the study showed that typologically the causative construction of Aceh language consists of morphological causative, lexical causative and analytic causative. Aceh language causative construction in this paper is investigated through parameters of semantics and formal. This construction was produced by combination of clause and conjunction ‘kerna’ or ‘seubap’; using analytical causative verb ‘peugot’ and ‘geuyu’; morphological causative affixes ‘meu-‘, ‘peu-‘ and ‘seu-‘; and using certain lexical causative in which have causative meaning. The relationship of the causative construction of the Aceh language in a syntactic typology, namely causative morphology and lexical causative was included in the causative construction of monoclauses, whereas analytic causative was included in the causative construction of biclauses. Structurally, testing is done by pinning syntactic operations, hence causative analytic was formed by biclauses structures, while lexical and morphological causative was formed by monoclausal structures.
Highlights
Language is an important communication tool in expressing ideas through speaking and writing
The domain of studies that includes linguistic typology is the sequence of words, case sharpening, grammatical relations, relative clauses, subjects, causative constructions, ergativity--accusativity, semantic roles, valence change and morphological-syntactic typology
Based on the above exposition, it can be concluded that in Acehnese language for making causative constructions can be done in several ways, namely (1) using complex sentences, two clauses coupled with conjunction kerna-seubap, (2) using analytic causative, with verbs markers peugot and geuyu, (3) using a morphological causative by adding meuaffix, peu- and seu, (4) selecting a particular lexical causative verb with causative meaning
Summary
Language is an important communication tool in expressing ideas through speaking and writing. Errors occurring in the communication are categorized as language problems. This should be noted by language users and language researchers. Comrie (1983) developed a cross-language study that led to the generalization and grouping of languages. It is a new study called linguistic typology. The study classifies language based on certain types relating to the universality and grammatical characteristics across languages. The domain of studies that includes linguistic typology is the sequence of words, case sharpening, grammatical relations, relative clauses, subjects, causative constructions, ergativity--accusativity, semantic roles, valence change and morphological-syntactic typology
