Abstract

Ammatoa community, like many other communities in South Sulawesi have a personal naming system that is related to traditions, rituals, and language patterns that reflect the beliefs, expectations, events, or situation surrounded new births. Besides, this article analyzes and discusses the aspect of Kajang culture which became a model and typology practiced by community members of Ammatoa. The data of this study were obtained through participant observation, interview, and note-taking techniques. In addition, supplementary data were gained through local government offices such as district and sub-district offices. It is disclosed that personal name tells and represents tradition, practices, or rituals, and also language patterns found in naming someone of the Ammatoa community. In line with the typology of personal naming, the Ammatoa community has some typology or classification of personal naming such as birth order, birth season, body shape or physical appearances, place of birth, nickname, and many others. Regarding the theory used, this article used the indexical theory proposed by Silverstein.
