Semantic Network of the Word Association in the Field of Law

Abstract

Word association can be utilized for identifying semantic network and describing point of view and prior knowledge of someone. This study aims to discuss two focuses, (1) the categorization of response word and (2) language factors that form semantic networks from the response words of word association in the field of law. This research uses a qualitative approach which is a type of descriptive case study research. Data collection held by using a word association questionaire. Based on the word categorization, the results showed that the stimulus words in the form of nouns were the most responded by nouns, verbs were the most responded by nouns, while the adjectives were responded more by an adjectives. Overall, responses in the form of nouns are 64.71%, verbs are 17.70%, adjectives are 17.58%. The responses in the form of nouns are related to the semantic relations of argument and predication, while the adjective response tends to be related to other adjectives in the unity of the semantic network. The response words form semantic network based on language factors, namely (1) lexical factors that consist of meaning relationship, connotation of meaning, concreteness and abstractness and (2) grammatical factors that consist of syntagmatic-paradigmatic and predication-argument relationship. Keywords: semantic network, word association, mental lexicon

Argument Bar Movement in Relative Clauses Produced by Bipa Students: An Analysis of Noam Chomsky’s Generative Transformation

“…However, SS1 used a relative marker 'yang,' which signified a trace of movement in the role of the inner argument from the predication 'pergi' (to go) even though an inner argument could not follow this verb of its intransitive nature. As previous research stated that predication (verb) is closely related to argument (noun) because the verb determines the presence or absence of the accompanying noun (Prihatini, 2019) and the characteristics of the argument. In this case, SS1 was not a relative clause by the rules because of the inappropriate use of predication.…”

“…Therefore, to describe the relative clauses of Indonesian produced by foreign speakers, it is necessary to look at the process from the initial structure of the constituent clauses to form relative clauses. Prihatini (2019) states that further research needs to examine the argument bar movement (whmovement) in the relative clause by utilizing generative transformations. Argument bar movement occurs due to the movement of the argument to a position that does not allow it to get the role of the argument again (argument bar movement).…”

Sentiment Analysis of Covid-19 Handling in Indonesia Based on Lexicon Weighting

“…The goal of this study is to perform sentiment analysis on the COVID-19 handling in Indonesia using a lexicon weighting approach. Lexicon, which refers to the storage of words in longterm memory related to grammar in composing phrases and sentences, contains information such as speech parts [8]. In the context of sentiment analysis, lexicon serves as a comparator in determining sentiment results through predetermined word weights.…”
