Explaining the Natural Materials of Traditional Kitchen Appliances In the Javanese Coastal Communities Based on Internal Structure Formation of Lingual Units

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the traditional kitchen appliances used by Javanese women. This explanation is based on deciphering its shape and structure, and semantic deciphering. The natural materials used are always environmentally friendly and have a trustworthy charge that can be delivered transparently or clandestinely, The research method used was descriptive qualitative. The methods of collecting the used data were observation, and in-depth interviews. The method of research analysis was by decomposing the lingual unit component of the traditional kitchen lexicon compiler from the derivative word into a basic form by utilizing the technique direct divide elements in the units of form and meaning. The findings of the research are the rules of forming lingual units for traditional kitchen appliances from the basic forms to derivative forms. The rules of formation in the word formation are produced by lexicon reconstruction, while the rules of formation in the meaning field are generated by semantic developers originating from coastal culture. The description of natural material based on the analysis of the internal structure of lingual units is obtained by the coherence of circular relations: sign-concept-functions-cultural values-sign.
