Intransitive-based Applicatives in Bahasa Indonesia

As there has not been research specifically focused on the meanings of intransitive-based applicatives in bahasa Indonesia, this was carried out as an effort to uncover Indonesian applicative constructions. To reach goal, we use Dixon’s framework four broad categorizations (2012). The is descriptive and qualitative nature, approach used that structural typology. Data were collected using library research, document analysis, purposive sampling. Intransitive-based Indonesia meanings; they, ordered based frequency occurences, are locative, stimulus for a stative verb (G-stimulus), corporeal activities (G-corporeal), comitative. There are, however, -kan constructions cannot neatly fall into meaning categorization. We then proposed another -kan, suggested by Sneddon et al. (2010). In conclusion, hold categorization quite exhaustive understand semantic elements transitive-based applicatives.
