dc.description.abstract | Language shows a nation's character. Can Indonesian sentences with the
predicate benefactive verbs show the character of the Indonesian nation? Benefactive
sentences are sentences that have a subject argument as the beneficiary and an object
argument as the agent or vice versa. Subjects as agents and objects as beneficiaries.
Beneficiaries can be oneself and can also be other people or personal things. In Indonesian
language by the beneficial declarative sentences, it can be determined the dominance of
the beneficial. The problem is, what is the impact of the dominance of the beneficiary role
on the behaviour of Indonesian language users and what is the agent's relationship with
our social beneficiaries and its social impact? The purpose of this study is to reveal the
impact of dominance of the role of beneficiary in the benefactive verb on the declarative
sentence of the Indonesian language, and the relationship of the agent with the beneficiary
of circumstances or other people and their social impact. This research is a qualitative
research. The research data is in the form of declarative sentences in Indonesian which are
predicated of benefactive verbs in people's speech, elementary-high school Indonesian
language books, middle school economics books, and research data exploration. Research
data was collected using observation and documentation methods using note-taking
techniques and analysed using distributional methods, interpretation and analysis of
meaning components. The results of this research conclude that beneficial declarative
sentences in Indonesian show the behaviour of the users as well as speakers which is
selfish, liberalist and hedonistic, not socialist. The implications of these characteristics are
for the nation's behaviour, including corrupt public officials (only concerned with
personal, family and group profits). | en_US |
