Abstract
This qualitative research focused on the linguistic variations of the matrilineal society of Tetun ethnic background in Belu, East Nusa Tenggara. The purpose of this study is to describe differences in the use of prosodic features, lexicons, and imperative sentences between men and women. The informants were determined by using a snowball sampling technique. Data were collected by means of nonparticipatory method through recording technique and interviews. The result of this study indicates that there are differences in the linguistic variations between men and women. In terms of prosodic features, women tend to lengthen a vowel sound at the end of a word. In the lexicon level, the word he’e ‘yes’ is used by men and women in formal and informal situation whereas hi’i ‘yes’ is used only by women in informal situation. In addition, there is a difference in the use of address terms. Women use mane and bo’o for boys while men use bete and bu’i for girls in addressing their children. In the syntactic level, men use more varied types of imperative sentences. The data show that although women occupy a superordinate position in the society, they tend to use more polite imperative utterances.
这项定性研究的重点是东努沙登加拉贝卢德顿民族背景母系社会的语言变化。本研究的目的是描述男性和女性在韵律特征、词汇和祈使句使用上的差异。检举人采用滚雪球抽样法确定。采用非参与式方法,通过记录法和访谈法收集数据。这项研究的结果表明,男性和女性在语言变异方面存在差异。就韵律特征而言,女性倾向于延长单词末尾的元音。在词汇层面,男性和女性在正式和非正式场合都会使用he ' e ' yes,而女性只会在非正式场合使用hi ' i ' yes。此外,在称呼术语的使用上也存在差异。女人用“鬃毛”和“bo’o”称呼男孩,而男人用“better”和“bu’i”称呼女孩。在句法层面,男性使用祈使句的类型更为多样。数据显示,尽管女性在社会中占据着优越的地位,但她们更倾向于使用礼貌的祈使句。
