Klausa Relatif Bahasa Karo

Abstract

This research aims to explain the position of core nouns in relative clauses in the
Karo language, the types of relative clauses in the Karo language, and strategies
for relativizing relative clauses in the Karo language. The research method used
in this research to collect data is the library method while analyzing the data
using the collection method using techniques for direct elements. From the
research results it is shown that the position of the core noun of the Karo
language relative clause is classified as a postnominal form, namely the relative
clause comes after the core noun. However, apart from being in postnominal form,
there are several relative clauses in the Karo language that are also in prenominal
form, that is, the relative clause comes before the main noun. There are two types
of relative clauses in the Karo language, namely restrictive relative clauses and
nonrestrictive clauses. These two types of clauses are quite often found in relative
clauses in the Karo language. In connection with the relativity strategy, Karo language clauses apply a permutation strategy. With the permutation strategy, it can be seen that postnominal Karo language relative clauses cannot be expanded because the clauses become ungrammatical, while prenominal Karo language relative clauses can be expanded and are grammatical.
