Abstract

This article analyzed words in Balinese that share the same semantic prime: BRING using Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM). The Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) is a linguistic theory that reduces lexicons down to a set of semantic primitives. This research was conducted using the descriptive qualitative approach. The data that were found in this research were the words that are connected to the semantic prime BRING in the Balinese language. The aim of this research is to explain (1) as a basis for analysis lingual especially in analyzing semantic structure of verbs. (2) Adding to the treasures of semantic knowledge, especially the original meaning of the verb "Bring" in Balinese. (3) Raising elements of lexical semantics, especially elements of original meaning and polysemy. The data were collected using interview guidelines, recording equipment, and writing equipment. An interactive model of data analysis is used to analyze the data. From the data that were collected and analyzed, there are 14 words that are connected to semantic prime BRING, namely: ngaba / makta, nyuwun, mundut, negen, nyelet, ngandong, ngenyang, nyangkil, nyangkol, nampa, nenteng, ngangkut, ngandeng and maid ". These words are similar but not exactly synonymous and they will create misconception in diction.
