The Analysis of Stab Subtype with Comparative Study between English and Buginese Construction

Abstract

This study compares English and Buginese grammar constructions using Dixon's approach to assess the grammar of the STAB subtype. The researcher also wants to characterize and calculate the frequency of different sorts of categorical comparisons. This is a descriptive qualitative approach. Affected C (STAB Subtype) refers to a pointed or bladed Manip that penetrates below the surface of the Target, such as pierce, prick, stab, dig, sting, knife, spear; cut, prune, mow, saw, slice, chop, hack. In constructs I and III, all of these verbs appear. According to the Dixon's hypothesis, there are twelve Stab subtypes of verbs that can be used in textual construction, including stab, slice, cut, prune, mow, saw, chop, dig, pierce, prick, spear, and hack. There are six verbs in Buginese that pertain to the STAB subtype. Appacokengngi, angngampallasa, Meloka, Makkai, Nacui, and Matoddo' are the names of the animals.
