| Summary: | Malay proverbs which are sourced from chicken, are 90 in total. Various references
of chicken have been created by the Malays to mirror the behaviours and actions
of human beings implicitly. Each of the references can provide lessons, advices
and reprimands in a gentle manner and can still be used up to today. The attributes
of “careful”, “useless” and “betrayal” are among these references. In order to
analyse the data of these proverbs, the research will use the Inquisitive Semantics
Approach, besides the application of bridging cross reference (BCR) based on the
corpus data obtained from Pangkalan Korpus Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP)
and Malay Concordance Project (MCP). Therefore, as the objective of this study,
the researchers will explore the reasons why the Malay community choose the
imagery of chicken. Each of these references will benefit the authentic data which
are related to the cognition, culture and intellect of the Malay community in itself.
This research employs fully qualitative approaches through documentary analysis
that involves the Malay proverb data which have been recorded beforehand. The
findings of these proverbs data are collected from Kamus Peribahasa Melayu Edisi
Kelima, Kamus Istimewa Peribahasa Melayu Edisi Kedua and Kamus Peribahasa Melayu using the purposive sampling method. In conclusion, this study finds that
the inquisitive semantics approach is capable of uncovering the Malay proverbs’
meanings which are not confined only to literal and cognitive understandings but
reflect also the height of intellect and philosophy of the Malays themselves. |
