Abstract

This study aims to thoroughly analyze and describe the address terms in the Helangdohi language used by the speech community in Helangdohi Village, Pantar District, Alor Regency, as well as the sociolinguistic factors influencing their usage. Data collection in this study was conducted exclusively through structured interviews involving 4 key informants (an elder, a community leader, a youth, and a teacher) selected via a purposive sampling technique. The interview data were subsequently transcribed, categorized based on Kridalaksana's framework, and analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach referencing Poedjosudarmo's theoretical model. The results reveal thirty-one (31) address terms identified from the interviews with informants. These terms are categorized into four primary classifications: 1) kinship terms consist of 19 items (e.g., Mama/Ama, Nina/Ina, Bai Tua, Pukong Klake, Hola, Kwine, etc.); 2) pronouns comprising 4 items (Go, Mo, We, Kame); 3) titles and ranks comprising 6 items (Gambeing Desa, Wabeing Desa, Pelinta, Tuang Guru, Wabeing Guru, Ata Lewo); and (4) other forms comprising 2 items (Soba and Proper Names). Furthermore, based on the interview findings, the selection and usage of these address terms are governed by two principal sociolinguistic factors: occupation/status and age. Occupational status serves as a marker of formal power/authority that can override biological seniority, whereas age functions as the primary politeness rule in maintaining daily linguistic etiquette. This research emphasizes the importance of preserving these local address terms to prevent indigenous language attrition among younger generations.
