VIDEO ABOUT LINGUISTICS

good day readers... common watch this video to review our lesson about AN INTRODUCTION TO LINGUISTICS :)

AN INTRODUCITION TO LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

APPLIED LINGUISTICS

(AN INTRODUCITION TO LANGUAGE ACQUISITION)

A. What is Applied Linguistics?

Applied Linguistics is concerned with the systematic study of language structure, the acquisition of first and subsequent languages, the role of language in communication, and the status of language as the product of particular cultures and other social groups.

Applied Linguistics:

• Examines the structure of language and its role in communication

• Explores how children acquire language

• Studies how the skills of second-language speakers develop

• Investigates how the social or cultural environment interacts with language

Well, here we go... we will learn about one of applied linguistics J

A.    The meaning of Language Acquisition

Language acquisition is The development of language in children.

Language acquisition divided into two:

Language acquisition divided into two:

·         pemerolehan bahasa pertama 
=>Pemerolehan bahasa pertama berkaitan dengan segala aktivitas seseorang dalam menguasai bahasa ibunya.

·         pemerolehan bahasa keduasecond language acquisition
=>Pemerolehan bahasa kedua berlangsung setelah seseorang menguasai atau mempelajari bahasa pertama.

B.     According to Expert

Menurut para expert didalam bukunya:

Henry Guntur Tarigan (1995:4), “learning a language at home ”

(Harding & Riley, 1986:21) “untutored or naturalistic acquisition ”

(Ellis, 1987:5), “learning a language at school ” atau “tutored or classroom acquisition ”.

Para pakar tersebut sependapat bahwa pengajaran bahasa secara alamiah disebut pemerolehan bahasa (language acquisition) dan pengajaran bahasa secara ilmiah disebut pemelajaran bahasa (language learning). Mereka yang beranggapan bahwa pengajaran  bahasa secara informal tidak sama dengan pengajaran bahasa secara formal memberikan argumentasi sebagai berikut:

·         Bahasa informal: tidak berencana, kebetulan, tidak disengaja, dan tidak disadari.

·         Bahasa formal : berdasarkan perencanaan yang matang, disengaja, dan di disadari.

Dari gambaran diatas dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemerolehan bahasa (language acquisition) diperoleh melalui pendidikan informal yaitu pedidikan yang didapat dirumah atau dipelajari secara alamiah dengan tidak direncanakan dan tidak disengaja bisa dengan sendirinya dengan tidak disadari. Sementara, pemelajaran bahasa didapat dengan melalui pendidikan formal tentunya dengan cara direncanakan dan disengaja dan juga disadari.

Actually, first language acquisition needs interaction to communicate naturally by gradual phases based on the early child’s cognitive level and language system such as syntaxes, fonetics, morphology and pragmatics by doing imitation of the utterances.

Based on the experts on how the children learn first language, the acquisition of first language comes through listening and speaking. So, in learning second language is also focused on listening initially, then speaking.

In this case, children try to express their mother tongue into ungrammatical rules because they still hear from people say and imitate them. For example, people who born in Java. First language, Javanese, which they heard is first language and Indonesian as second language. 

It means that first language acquisition study about mother tongue or native language whereas second language acquisition study about additional language.

Summary:

Language acquisition is the process by which humans acquire the capacity to perceive, produce and use words to understand and communicate. First language acquisition is the ability of human to acquire their mother tongue from their early age. There are four theories to describe the process of children in understanding and practicing their first language, behaviorist/imitation,innateness, cognitive, interaction.

The significance of first language acquisition for children are to express needs and get what they want, used to tell others what to do, and  tell stories and to create an imaginary situation.

C.     Why do I choose language acquisition?

Saya tertarik terhadap anak- anak, saya ingin tahu bagaimana anak tersebut bisa memperoleh bahasanya. Terutama bahasa ibu terhadap anaknya, dan bagaimana anak tersebut mengembangkan pengetahuannya tentang struktur dan pola kebiasaan ibunya.

Sebagai contoh, suatu problem yang dihadapi anak-anak yang Bahasa pertamanya bahasa Jawa dalam belajar bahasa Indonesia. Ia mulai memasuki pendidikan formal di sekolah dasar ketika usia 6 atau 7 tahun, saat dimana mereka telah menguasai dengan baik pola bahasa pertama mereka bahasa Jawa. Perbedaan ini menjadi penghambat dalam proses belajar bahasa Indonesia, baik dalam bidang fonologi, morfologi, sintaksis, mapun leksikon. Dalam bidang fonologi, bahasa Jawa memiliki ciri khas memanjangkan bunyi, kurang lugas sebagaimana bahasa Indonesia. Selain itu terkadang dalam bahasa Jawa terdapat perubahan bunyi huruf “I” ke huruf yang hampir menyerupai bunyi huruf “e” Contoh:

            Tidak tahu                   dilafalkan                    [tidakk ta↑hu↓]

            Kipas angin                  dilafalkan                    [kipas angen]

Dari contoh tersebut saya semakin dan juga ingin mendalaminya terutama dalam  bidang kajian memperoleh bahasa inggris.

Itulah mengenai Language Acquisition, semoga bermanfaat untuk kita semua. Aamiin..

FIVE MOST-THING THAT I LIKE IN FKIP UNILAK PEKANBARU

FIVE MOST-THING THAT I LIKE IN FKIP UNILAK PEKANBARU

First, I like parking place in here because I can see my motorcycle from a distance. The parking place is bewray and large square-shaped. So, I can easily to get a parking spot and easy to find my friends there. Then, the floor of the parking place is paving block so that if it’s raining my shoes does nott wet. Moreover, I like when raining people in fkip unilak ran to the parking lot to take their helmet, I look them so funny, They ask permission to lecturer every time it’s raining. you know what, the parking place in FKIP doesn’t has roof hehe…

Second, I like collegians in my faculty. They wear dress like as teacher, neat and nothing looks messy. They are so friendly and great each other. Especially the seniors aren’t arrogant and and like to talk about life in campus. And then my classmate are funny, clever and care for others if any of our friend who are sick, we are going to see  with a covey together. Then, when we are learning we are not each other down, we are learning together with a peace.

Third, I like the lecturers. They are have a different character and also different way to teach their collegians. They are know how to make collegians relaxing with some jokes and many stories that interesting. Now, the lecturer that I like right now is Mr.Budi Hammudin, he is has interesting ways to teaching. At the beginning he make collegians laugh with his story.

Forth, I like classroom. FKIP Unilak has much room that is used for English student, Biology student, and Paud student. The classroom is equipped with chair that is good quality and so confortable. It is different with my chair in senior high school, we are sit with separate. And here, there is more or less three electric fans. I like sit near it.

Fifth, I like the administration room. In there available much snack, drink, and food like fried rice. If I feel hungry, I come to there. And it is also we can see lecturers. They are so friendly. And happy to hear some jokes in there. And if you are there, you feel cool, yeaah.. that is the best place if the weater is hot.

Hmm yeah… I think enough guys, I am happy in here… I like being in my faculty… so, if you want to continue your study… FKIP UNILAK is the best choice J

ABOUT SEMANTICS

SEMANTICS

A. Definition of Semantic

Semantics berasal  bahasa Yunani Sema (Nomina) ‘tanda’: atau dari verba samaino ‘menandai’, ‘berarti’. Istilah tersebut digunakan oleh para pakar bahasa untuk menyebut bagian ilmu bahasa yang mempelajari makna. Semantik (semantics) adalah cabang linguistik yang meneliti arti atau makna. Makna yang diteliti oleh semantik itu adalah makna bebas konteks. Makna itu ada yang bersifat leksikal dan ada yang gramatikal.

• Saeed (2003:3) , “Semantics is the study of meaning communicated through language.”

• Hurford dan Heasley (1983:1), "Semantics is the study of meaning in Language."

• Palmer (1976:1), "Semantics is the technical term used to refer to the study of meaning, and since meaning is a part of language, semantics is a part of linguistics."

Pada bidang linguistic, semantics secara umum diartikan sebagai study dari arti atau makna dan anggapan yang terkait dalam bahasa, sedangkan secara logika atau nalar, semantic dianggap sebagai reference atau petunjuk linguistic dan kondisi sebenarnya dalam bahasa.

Deskripsi semantic dalam hakikat kebahasaan harus mencatat fakta dari suatu arti atau makna, linguistic reference, dan pada keadaan yang sebenarnya.

The semantic analysis, generally, must explain how the sentences of a particular language are understood, interpreted, and related to states, processes and objects in the world.

B. Types of Semantics

1. Connotative Semantic

When a word suggests a set of associations, or it is an imaginative or emotional suggestion connected with the words, while readers can relate to such associations. Simply, it represents figurative meaning. Usually poets use this type of meaning in their poetry.

2. Denotative Semantic

It suggests the literal, explicit or dictionary meanings of the words without using associated meanings. It also uses symbols in writing that suggest expressions of writers such as an exclamation mark, quotation mark, apostrophe, colon, and quotation mark etc.

C. Synonym, Antonym, Polysemy.

1. SYNONYMS 

Synonyms are different words which have the same meaning, or almost the same meaning.

The words stones and rocks are synonyms. 

Synonyms can be nouns, verbs, adverbs or adjectives, as long as both are the same part of speech.

For example:

- chair and seat (nouns)

- go and leave (verbs)

- quickly and rapidly (adverbs)

- long and extended (adjectives)

A word can have more than one synonym depending on which meaning you use for the word.

For example:

- expired could have the synonym no longer fresh, if you mean milk that's past its sale date.

- expired could have the synonym dead, if you mean no longer alive.

  

2. ANTONYMS  

Antonyms are words which have opposite meanings. 

The words hot and cold are antonyms. So are up and down, and short and tall. 

A word can have more than one antonym, depending on which meaning you use for the word.

For example:

- short could have the antonym tall if you are referring to a person's height.

- short could have the antonym long if you are referring to to the length of something.

3. POLYSEMY

Polysemy  is an intimidating compound noun for a basic language feature. This happens when a lexeme acquires a wider range of meanings.

Examples:

Mole

a small burrowing mammal

e.g. A Mole burrows for information hoping to go undetected.

Bank

a financial institution

Book

a bound collection of pages

e.g. "Unable to book a hotel room, a man sneaked into a nearby private residence where police arrested him and later booked him for unlawful entry."

Milk

The verb milk (e.g. "he's milking it for all he can get") derives from the process of obtaining milk.

Wood

a piece of a tree

a geographical area with many trees

an erection

Crane

a bird

a type of construction equipment

D. Function of Semantics

The purpose of semantic is to propose exact meanings of the words and phrases and remove confusion, which might lead the readers to believe a word has many possible meanings. It makes a relationship between a word and the sentence through their meanings. Besides, semantic enables the readers to explore a sense of the meaning, because if we remove or change the place of a single word from the sentence, it will change the entire meanings.
