BENTUK DAN PENGGUNAAN KATA PENGGOLONG BENDA DI PASAR INDUK TRADISIONAL DI JAKARTA DAN SURABAYA

This study aims to describe forms of noun classifiers and their uses by Indonesian
speakers in transactions in traditional central markets in Jakarta and Surabaya. The data
were collected through listening and interviewing. They were analyzed by the intralingual
correspondence technique. The research findings are as follows. First, there are
43 forms of noun classifiers. Second, they can be classified into three categories, i.e.: (a)
individual noun classifiers, (b) collective noun classifiers, and (c) noun classifiers in the
form of measurement units. Third, the dominant noun classifiers in traditional central
markets in Jakarta and Surabaya are noun classifiers in the form of measurement units.
This is due to the fact that transactions need precise measurements.
