HOPES AND IDEALS IN THE SELF NAME DAYAK KENYAH COMMUNITY
Abstract
Abstract- This research looks at the semantics of the
concept desired by the Dayak Kenyah community in
Pampang Village. The concept is seen through the meaning
of the name given to his child. To collect data about the
names of the Dayak Kenyah people, an observation method
was used with the distribution of questionnaires to
elementary and high school students in Pampang Village.
The data collected was selected by purposive sampling to
achieve the results of the study. The data is then analyzed
descriptively qualitatively through the theory of the triangles
of Odgen and Richard's meanings. Based on the results of
the analysis, found eight backgrounds in naming the Dayak
Kenyah community, namely (1) naming based on names
based on idol figures, (2) naming based on the name of
grandfather / grandmother, (3) naming based on the
moment of birth, (4) giving names based on birth order, (5)
naming based on regional origin and time of birth, (6)
naming based on the natural surroundings, (7) naming
based on parents 'preferences, (8) naming based on parents'
expectations.There are five motivations in choosing the
name of the Dayak Kenyah community, namely (1) for
success, (2) for welfare, (3) for safety, (4) for health, and (5)
for peace / preservation. In general, there are five hopes and
ideals desired by the Dayak Kenyah community, namely (1)
wanting to be an artist, (2) wanting to be saved, (3) wanting
to repeat the success/greatness of the family, and (5)
wanting to capture certain moments.
