Abstract

This study aims to investigate the syntactic formation of nouns in Balinese, a language spoken in Indonesia. The research draws on a diverse range of primary data sources, including written texts from storybooks (Satua Bali), Balinese short stories (Pupulan), the Bali Orti newspaper, and online dictionaries, as well as oral data collected from native Balinese speakers and the author's own intuition as a fluent speaker of the language. The data collection process involved a thorough examination of the selected texts, followed by the identification of nouns and their corresponding markers, specifically the 'ane' marker. The analysis employed the distributional method, utilizing techniques such as mark reading and direct element division (Sudaryanto, 1988; Zaim, 2014: 101-102). The theoretical framework adopted in this study is rooted in Morphological Theory, as outlined by Katamba and Stonham (2006), which focuses on grammatical relations. The research findings indicate that the process of reducing nouns in Balinese can be achieved through a syntactic strategy, specifically by employing the 'ane' marker. Furthermore, the constituents derived through this marker originate from both transitive and intransitive sentences. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the syntactic formation of nouns in Balinese and sheds light on the language's unique grammatical structures.
