Abstract

Nias language is one of the many local languages in Indonesia. The people of Nias use the Nias language as their first language. This BN has existed and has lived for hundreds of years until now. It is still actively used as a daily language and means of communication in all traditional ceremonies by the indigenous people of Nias Island. This research focuses on the study of the use of persona deixis in Nias’ traditional Speech about the Marriage of the South Nias Community. This research was designed using descriptive qualitative research. Qualitative research is carried out in a reasonable situation, namely understanding and interpreting the meaning of an event of human behaviour interaction in certain situations. The data analysis results show the type, verbal form and function of the use of persona deixis in the Central Dialect of the Nias Language in the customary marriage speech of the Nias people. The study of persona deixis in traditional wedding speeches in Nias has involved other studies or other elements that were present as well as in studies according to the research focus. This arises because it is part of finding the study that should be researched. As is the case when studying forms of lingual deixis, the study requires a study of morphemes, words and phrases. In the study of morphemes, it is found that deixis is categorized as free and bound morphemes, so we briefly discuss proclitic and enclitic. Likewise, finding personal deixis in phrases requires studying compound words. However Thus, the researcher remains focused on finding results by the focus of the study at the beginning.
