Makna Toponim di Tangerang sebagai Representasi Keberadaan Etnis Cina Benteng: Sebuah Kajian Linguistik Historis Komparatif
Full text linkCina Benteng in Tangerang called as Cina Benteng, the native of Tangerang. The name Benteng is closely related to the early history of Chinese migration. Cina Benteng in Tangerang, namely living in forts and growing crops as farmers or fishermen. Brown skin, slanted eyes, and keep an ash table, is a glimpse of the portrait of Cina Benteng. Regarding to that phenomena mentioned above, in this study the author examines the meaning of toponyms in Tangerang to be associated with the existence Cina Benteng. This study uses a comparative historical linguistic approach that uses names as linguistic units to examine meaning, and its relation to historical context. The theory used in this study is etymological theory, semiotic’s theory meaning by Barthes and, and Nystorm (2016). Toponyms or place names are one of the branches of onomastics (Rais et al, 2008). Onomastics examines self names and place names. The name is present not only to fulfill the function of identification, but the presence of the name also reveals the existing socio-cultural aspects. A name is constructed, interpreted, used continuously or even later replaced and abandoned. The study of place names or toponyms is a form of comparative historical linguistic study that utilizes branches of linguistic studies such as semantics and sociolinguistics as well as other fields outside of intersecting linguistics (Lauder, 2015). The data for this paper were collected from written documentation or maps. In addition, the author also uses ethnographic methods to be able to see the relationship of a place name with the surrounding community. The result of the study shows the meaning of toponym in Tangerang are strongly related to the existence of Cina Benteng from the old times until modern times.

Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah teori makna etimologi, teori makna semiotik Barthes dan, dan Nystorm (2016). Toponim atau nama tempat adalah salah satu cabang kajian dari onomastika (Rais et al, 2008). Onomastika mengkaji nama diri dan nama tempat. Nama hadir tidak semata untuk memenuhi fungsi identifikasi akan tetapi kehadiran nama juga mengungkap aspek sosial budaya yang ada. Sebuah nama dikonstruksikan, dimaknai, digunakan secara terus menerus atau bahkan kemudian diganti dan ditinggalkan. Kajian nama tempat atau toponim merupakan bentuk kajian linguistik historis komparatif yang memanfaatkan cabang kajian linguistik seperti semantik dan sosiolinguistik serta bidang lain diluar linguistik yang bersinggungan (Lauder, 2015). Data untuk tulisan ini dikumpulkan dari dokumentasi tertulis atau peta. Selain itu penulis juga memanfaatkan metode etnografi untuk dapat melihat kaitan sebuah nama tempat dengan masyarakat sekitar.

Reevaluasi Konsep Pemilah Bahasa dan Dialek untuk Bahasa Nusantara
Full text linkEven today, there is disagreement among experts over how many languages and dialects there are in Indonesia. The methodological tools for classifying languages consist of mapping isoglosses, dialectometry, and measures of mutual intelligibility. The present article surveys the methodology used in N = 129 researches performed over the last 50 years and finds that researchers based their conclusions about languages and dialects predominantly on isoglosses while dialectometry and mutual intelligibility were much less used. It is also suggested that these three research methods be reevaluated in the light of the multilingual situation in Indonesia. We could possibly get better results with the isogloss method if we reconsidered the criteria for degree of sound similarity and the criteria for bundling isoglosses. For dialectometry, we should consider modifying the current percentages used to distinguish language-dialect divisions. For establishing mutual intelligibility, the factors that could be reassessed include techniques of testing, the procedures for choosing test-points and reference-points, and the criteria for choosing valid texts for testing. 
SIGNAGE IN PUBLIC SPACES: IMPACT OF TOURISM ON THE LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE OF LABUAN BAJO
Full text linkLabuan Bajo, the capital of West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, is currently experiencing rapid development. A good number of hotels, restaurants, and cafes have sprung up. The rapid development of tourist accommodation has had an impact on national and local identity as seen in the language in public spaces through the language used in the tourist accommodation sign boards.The purpose of this study is to map the linguistic landscape in Labuan Bajo, particularly the use of language on tourist accommodation signage; to explain the factors that lead to the dominance of massive foreign influences on the language of tourist accommodation signage; and explain the response of local communities to the domination of these foreign influences. This study used a qualitative method by first visually documenting data, consisting of names of tourist accommodations in Labuan Bajo; second, doing a linguistic analysis of data in particular the meaning and construction of names that may come from one or multiple languages.The results of the field research show that foreign identities in language use on tourist accommodation signboards in Labuan Bajo are so widespread. It is hoped that the government can encourage the use of the national language and regional languages in tourist accommodation signage through the socialization of the use of language in public spaces as stated in Law No. 24 of 2009 so that national and local identities in Labuan Bajo are not seen as inferior to foreign identities.KEYWORDS: linguistic landscape, public space, identity, national and local languag
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Maritime Indonesia and the Archipelagic Outlook; Some reflections from a multidisciplinary perspective on old port cities in Java
Full text linkThe present paper reflects on Indonesia’s status as an archipelagic state and a maritime nation from a historical perspective. It explores the background of a multi-year research project into Indonesia’s maritime past currently being undertaken at the Humanities Faculty of Universitas Indonesia. The multidisciplinary research uses toponymy, epigraphy, philology, and linguistic lines of analysis in examining old inscriptions and manuscripts and also includes site visits to a number of old port cities across the archipelago. We present here some of the core concepts behind the research such as the importance of the ancient port cities in a network of maritime trade and diplomacy, and link them to some contemporary issues such as the Archipelagic Outlook. This is based on a concept of territorial integrity that reflects Indonesia’s national identity and aspirations. It is hoped that the paper can extend the discussion about efforts to make maritime affairs a strategic geopolitical goal along with restoring Indonesia’s identity as a maritime nation
