KEUNIKAN LEKSIKON PENANDA PRAANGGAPAN DALAM TIGA SUBDIALEKBAHASA JAWA (PURWOKERTO, BANTEN UTARA, DAN REMBANG)

Abstract

Presupposition is an assumption that the speaker has before he produces an utterance. The presupposition is recognized and understood by the triggers of the lexicons used in the utterance. The triggers are different based on the speaker. According to Yule (1996), speaker could have six types of presupposition in his utterance. They are 1) factive; 2) lexical; 3) existential; 4) structural; 5) non-factive; dan 6) counter factual. Every type of the presupposition has its own lexicon triggers. This research is aimed to find the uniqueness of the lexicon triggers of the six types of presupposition in three subdialecs of Javanese language: Purwokerto, Banten Utara, and Rembang. The data is taken from three informants as the native speakers of the three subdialects. The three informants are asked to produce utterances based on the same context given. From the utterances, using the descriptive-qualitative method, the uniqueness is found as follows. In the same presupposition type, it is found 1) the same lexicons with pronunciation variations, word’s reduction, and particle’s addition, 2) the lexicons from the same base uttered in the different word class, 3) the different lexicons uttered in the different word class.
