Abstract

This paper discusses the superlative meaningful words of the speech community in the Andong-Telomoyo Mountain area, which is on the west side of Mount Merapi-Merbabu from a morphological perspective. The discussion on the Magelang sub-dialect is interesting because as a characteristic of people who live in the highlands and are relatively isolated, it makes the existence of culture, one of which is in the form of the local language, relatively maintained.Based on these problems, this study will present linguistic conditions, namely superlative morphemes that have a change in meaning by looking at changes in form at the morphological level and using examples of sentence contexts.The purpose of this research is; 1). Collecting data related to words with superlative meanings in the Javanese sub-dialect of Magelang in the Andong-Telomoyo’s Mountains; 2). Classifying data related to forms and their derivations in superlative meaningful words in the Javanese sub-dialect of Magelang in the Andong-Telomoyo mountain area; and 3). Interpreting the data and its correlation to the context of sentences with superlative meaningful words in the Magelang sub-dialect Javanese in the Andong-Telomoyo mountain area.The theory in this study uses the perspective of Morphology.An Introduction to the Theory of Word-Structure, which divides morphology into wo fields, namely inflectional morphology and lexical morphology which distinguish between the process of inflection and the process of word formation which includes derivation and composition. The method in this research is qualitative research which aims to understand phenomena holistically by way of descriptions in the form of words and language.The approach taken is Ethnolinguistics, by blending in and observing the language used by the speech community in the Andong-Telomoyo mountain area. The steps of this research began with collecting field data using the observe, involve, record model which then carried out data classification and interpretation of the data. The source of the data in this study is speech as a form of language in the Andong-Telomoyo mountain area in their daily routines.The research results show: 1). In the aspect of morphological criteria, there are 30 words that experience morphological changes; 2). Based on the syntactic criteria, the condition of the sentence is influenced by the derivation of single diction and word combinations.
