Abstract

Semantic prototypes of staple foodsare different among community members in Indonesia. These differences can be affected by,among others, geographical and socio-cultural factors. Departing from these differences, this study aims to find out the semantic prototype formula of the staple food concept based on Indonesian people’s perspectives. The study was carried out by distributing a questionnaire as a means of collecting data and the data were then quantitatively analyzed. Referring to the theories of Wierzbicka and Coleman Kay, the study reveals that Indonesian people still firmly believe that rice is an irreplaceable staple food. The proposed semantic prototypesare proved to have patterns similar to the findings. In addition, it turns out that cultural and natural factors also affect the way people interpret these staple foods.Keywords: staple foods, semantic prototypes, Indonesian people PROTOTIPE SEMANTIK MAKANAN POKOK MASYARAKAT INDONESIAAbstrak Prototipe semantik makanan pokok memiliki perbedaan penafsiran di antara anggota masyarakat di Indonesia.

Abstract

In communication, people cannot be separated from conversations where actually there is something to be implied on. The existence of implicature, however, is hardly needed as a tool to bond the interlocuters. Implicature is divided into two, i.e. conventional implicature and conversational implicature. To understand the implicature, the instruments such as speech events, reference, cultural background and daily experience are used.
