CRYBABY PROTOTYPE IN INDONESIAN LANGUAGE

Linguistic meaning of the word based on the idea or principal semantic components that exist on a word. Meaning to the word represented as a feature - the semantic features. To search for the meaning of a word must first identify the components - components or features - that make up the semantic features of the word. Features - semantic features or semantic variable menyususn a prototype called the word. Rosch et al., (1976) reveals that we recognize members of semantic categories by matching them with a prototype or a typical example. A prototype semantic collect some typical traits among several centers and other devices. For example, the semantic categories of cars, for example, can be considered as a vehicle that has the following key features: (i) four-wheel drive, and (ii) engine. Therefore, the three-wheeled vehicles such as grobak not included in the car, or four-wheeled vehicles that are not engine also can not be said as a car, although grobak or four-wheeled vehicles that are powered not included in the type of vehicle. Although concrete objects (eg, cars, chairs, glasses, etc.) and natural species (eg, dogs, fish, tree, cat, etc.) is one of the best examples of the category prototype, not correct to assume that the prototype concept can not apply abstract concepts such as the nature of the maudlin.

In Indonesian society, the word is often at identical with whiny little kids who whine to their parents asking for something then cry. In KBBI whiny word has a meaning that is easily offended, like crying and crying easily (moved) and so on. Mensalah people often interpret the word maudlin weepy variable, but the variable may not necessarily represent the whiny words in Indonesian. Therefore, in this study will be discussed on the prototype sissy in Indonesian. Where, variable - meaning that there is a variable in the prototype is used as an initial hypothesis whiny like, easy to cry (moved), like crying, and irritability. This study is important because it can measure the public's mind the concept of human cognition to the prototype or whiny word itself.
