Abstract

This research is field research entitled “Pragmatic Study of Persona and Temporal Deixis in Minangkabau Language in the Bromo Area”. The problem discussed is the use of person and temporal deixis in the Minangkabau language. The purpose of this study is to introduce the regional language, namely Minangkabau language, regarding the deixis of people and time because so far not much has been discussed about deixis in Minangkabau language. To analyze the use of deixis used by the Minangkabau people in the Bromo area, a pragmatic study was applied referring to the views of Putrayasa and Bambang Kuswanti Purwo. The method used in data collection was the observation and interviwes methods by listening to the informant's conversation about persona and temporal deixis in the Minangkabau language. Informants were traditional or community leaders who were fluent in Minangkabau language. The techniques of interviews applied in collecting the data. The researcher was directly involved in the conversation because the researcher was also a Minangkabau language user. The method used to analyze data was the matching method. The matching method is a method where the determining tool is outside or not part of the language in question (Sudaryanto, 1993:13). Furthermore, the descriptive qualitative method was used to analyze as a whole and utilized interpretive ways to present a description. The results of the analysis and discussion of persona and temporal deixis in the Minangkabau language showed 13 forms of persona deixis and 4 forms of temporal deixis. This discussion of deixis in the Minangkabau language also adds to the repertoire of research in the Minangkabau language.
