KelambiR’s Eco-lexicals in Serdang Malay: An Eco-linguistic Approach

Abstract

This article studies the KelambiR's eco-lexicals(KEL) in Serdang Malay (SM).It focuses on the collection of KEL that contains the stocks of local knowledge in SM.The data are obtained by interviewing, observing and documenting.The method used in this study is qualitative.The eco-lexicals in connection to kelambiR'coconut' areprimarily examined by using the perspectives of the followings, such as, the interrelationship, diversity, and environment.To analyze the meanings of those lexicals, the researchers use the external referential, semantics, and the anthropolinguistic concept ofcultural meanings.The findings show that the KEL and expressions are regarded as part of SM's natural resources, language, and culture.The old generations know, understand and use such lexicon and its life principles.However, the situation in the past is contrary to the fact that young generations, today, rarely use KEL, and even do they not recognize and/or understand such words.
