The Syntactic-Semantic Analyses of Sasak Demonstratives in Lombok

Sasak language is spoken by approximately 3,352,888 people in Lombok, Indonesia. Typologically, it is a complex language because of its dual word orders. With its six dialectal varieties Meriaq-Meriqu, Menu-Meni, Ngeno-Ngene, Nggeto-Nggete, Meno-Meno and Kuto-Kute, Sasak language shows its unique p...
