Abstract

The Bima language action verb is one of the main word classes that is central and complex, this is evidenced from the verbs that are always present in speech, are determinants of the presence of arguments and have the authority to determine the semantic roles that exist in each accompanying argument. The purpose of this study was to determine the mapping and explication of action verbs with the notation of hitting. The method used is qualitative, the data source consists of oral data, written data and language intuition, language data taken from key informants. The technique used is interview and literature study. The method of collecting data is the proficient method, the Agih method with the application of transformation and insertion techniques. It is used to reveal the original meaning contained in BBM. The default meaning used to determine the semantic structure of VBBm by explication or paraphrase technique. The result of the research shows that the Bima language action verb `Hitting` has specific features. Generic 'general' does not refer to a particular location where the activity occurs, but specific 'special', instead it is thick with certain locations or body parts where and with which body parts an action can be realized.
