Abstract

This article describes two important aspects of the Haloban Language, namely Syntax and Morphology. It tries to identify the language’s introductory sentence and describes its marking system. The data of this article are taken from the utterances spoken by the speakers of the Haloban Language in a natural setting that is considered grammatical. The observation method is used to collect the data along with the recording, besides the interview, to get valid data. Meanwhile, the analysis method used is the distribution method using permutation, deletion, and substitution. The result shows that the introductory sentence operates SVO and VS(PRO)O word order with various predicates, which verbs and nonverbs can take. Based on the analysis of the revaluation of the sentence structure in the Haloban Language, from the causative constructions and application construction (transitivizing) and passivization (intransitivity), it is found that causality is done by making use of suffix {-i} and prefix {pa-} which is used to derive transitive from intransitive verbs and the nonverbal categories. Meanwhile, the application makes use of the suffix {-ken}. On the other hand, passivation in the Haloban Language is done by fronting the object of actives before predicates (verbs) and prefixing the verbs with {ni-}.
