PLACE-NAMING OF TOURISM DESTINATIONS IN JAWA BARAT: A TOPONYMY STUDY
Abstract
The research on place-naming has been the focus of numerous studies. This research tries to explore the place-naming of tourism destinations in Jawa Barat. The place-naming of tourism destinations in Jawa Barat discussed in this article relates to their types and their processes morphologically. It can be shown that there are three types of place naming of tourism destination in Jawa Barat adapted from eleven Nash’s classifications, the present writers found single proper noun, two (generic noun + proper noun) and three (generic noun + generic noun + proper noun) nouns, and generic noun + adjective. Besides the types adapted from Nash classifications (2015), the present writers also classify their morphological processes relating to Sujatna et al. (2016). The first process is acronym, the second is blending, the third process is coinage, the fourth process is borrowing, and the last type of process is a compounding.
