Place naming strategy in kata kolok sign language
Keywords:
Sign language, Place naming, Sign name system, Kata KolokAbstract
The nomenclature employed for location naming signs in Kata Kolok is analogous to the naming conventions observed in the naming of individuals. In essence, each location in Bali strives to physically embody its distinctive character, resulting in the creation of numerous statues within a given area. However, following conventional practice, the most popular landmarks that are considered to be representative of the character of an area are selected as objects to be signed. The naming of locations based on landmark features employs a descriptive nomenclature. This system describes the most iconic physical features of an object. In general, the center and upper portion of the object are selected as the location to be signed. In addition to the descriptive naming system, there is also an arbitrary naming system that employs the initials of the name of a location. It can therefore be concluded that in Kata Kolok, the sign name of a location is given in two ways: firstly, by describing the iconic character or symbol of a place, and secondly, by initializing a place.
