- Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyse the metaphor compounding process rule in the Dengka dialect of the Rote language found in the name of animals and plants. There are two problems to be analysed: 1) how the structure of metaphor compounding process in the Dengka dialect of the Rote language found in the name of animals and plants, 2) what is the type of metaphor compound in the Dengka dialect of the Rote language found in the name of animals and plants. The research problem will be analysed using the ‘Word-Based Morphology’ or ‘Lexeme-Based’ generative morphology theory by Aronoff (1979). The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method. The data are obtained by using observation methods and it is techniques, and the interlocution method and it is techniques. The data collected is voice recordings, which were obtained from informants by interviewing and recording. The result of compounding process show that the endocentric kind of compound words were found, and it is composition consist of two and three lexemes. The compound words structure that build by two lexemes consist of two types [N+N]→[N], and [N]+[V]→[N]. Meanwhile, the compound words structure that build by three lexemes found in [N]+[N]+[N]→[N].
