Kelantanese kuih often have distinctive, eccentric names, many of which are deeply embedded in the Kelantanese dia…
How Words are Formed? A Case Study of Morphological Integration of Malay Words in Nyonya Cuisine
The Malay language plays a vital role in the morphological integration of Baba Malay in Nyonya cuisine, a signature dish of Baba Nyonya (traders who travelled to the Strait of Malacca in the 15th and 17th century from southern China, Fujian and intermarried with locals). The Malay language inspiration in Nyonya cuisine has yet to be investigated systematically. This qualitative study examines the morphological processes in the Malay language that…

It involves witnessing and/or interacting with the participants in their natural settings, in their cultural context, and then creating a narrative description of that culture against a theoretical background. Ethnography is applied in various social sciences. It is challenging and has many…
A Semantic Analysis of Blends in Promotional Advertisements During the 2021 Chinese New Year in Malaysia
This paper presents the word-formation of blending in promotional advertisements, specifically for Chinese New Year celebrations in Malaysia. Blending is a process that combines two or three parts of source words (SWs) which either one has shortened infuse and/or where there is a phonological or graphic overlap of source words (e.g., moo-tastic moo + fantastic, and Ox-picious Ox🐂+ auspicious). These kinds of words describe a new invention or…
The Next Normal Terminologies in Malaysia
This paper analysed the Morphological Landscape in the perceptibility and prominence of word formation on commercial and public signs in the digital platforms during the next normal in Malaysia. The surge of new terminologies accompanying the next normal created new lexical and sociolinguistic changes that have become part of our lives. It can’t be denied that many Malaysians are having problems understanding the new terms used in digital platfor…
A Study on Syntactic and Semantic of Compound Words in the Recipe Books
This study focuses on the syntactic and semantic process of compound words used in the recipe books. This qualitative descriptive study aims to classify the types of compounds and analyse the semantic and syntactic structure of compounds. This study used Lieber’s (2009) theoretical framework of compound words to analyse the data. This study used 40 compound words from selected recipe books. Morphological analysis is used to analyse the compound w…
