REPRESENTASI SERAPAN BAHASA PORTUGIS SEBAGAI PEMERKAYA KOSAKATA BAHASA INDONESIA

Indonesian language is rich in loanwords. This is due to the historical presence of various colonizers in the country, such as the Netherlands, Portugal, England, and Japan. Additionally, there were trading interactions with nations like the Arabs, Indians, Chinese, and Persians. The influx of these foreign cultures inevitably left linguistic imprints on the Indonesian language. Portuguese, which arrived in 1511 with initial trading intentions, ended up being enticed into colonization, leading to the unwitting integration of Portuguese words into the Indonesian society. This research aims to examine the extent to which Portuguese words have been absorbed into the Indonesian language and have been used by the language users in this country without awareness. A qualitative method was employed in this study, relying on primary data gathered through direct interviews with native speakers of Portuguese. Secondary data was also collected through the analysis of various dictionaries. The findings of this research indicate that only a limited number of Portuguese words have been assimilated into the Indonesian language. Several words related to religious elements, food, and object names continue to be in use, such as "gereja" (church), "natal" (Christmas), "sekolah" (school), "bangku" (bench), and "kemeja" (shirt). This phenomenon can be attributed to the strong linguistic ties of the Indonesian society with religious and socio-cultural matters, as these loanwords have become deeply integrated and commonly used by the population

Ethno-Cultural Code as a Value-Semantic Dominant of the Supply Chain Management in Media Industry

Abstract- The present article is devoted to the actual problem of identifying supply chain management position in real mass media discourses, as well as the question of determining intra-linguistic and extra-linguistic sources of the synergistic binomial of ethno-linguistic culture. This article examines the cultural code, which is the key to understanding ethno-culture, including the unique value-semantic topics of the people's living space, determining the dominant principles of the world perception. The purpose of the article is to analyze representation of the ethno-cultural code in the artistic and mass media discourses. The methodological basis of the research is interpretation of culture as a semiotic space. Used copyright methods include: value-semantic and lingvo-suggestive. The article presents results of the study of cultural code as a value-semantic dominant of artistic and mass-media texts through a communicative and pragmatic analysis of multi-genre texts for disclosure of features of mentality in a cultural code. The authors come to the conclusion that in the semantic structure of a word it is necessary to single out a special component, “cultural meaningâ€, which is formed not by a simple set of individual words, but in text space based on their interaction. The value-sense space created by the cultural code is the basis of entire ethnic community, and deconstruction of the value-sense dominant destroys it
