Humans use language to communicate for an informative
function in conversation. A person's ability, proficiency and communication
skills depend greatly on how much vocabulary they have. Compositum is a derived
word formed from the combination of two or more words formed from the
combination of two or more words into one new word that contains a new meaning.
This paper examines the Kedang language (KdL) composite, a Mountain Dialect,
Hule subdialect, Nilanapo Village, Omesuri District, Lembata Regency. The study
was conducted from morphological and semantic aspects. The study used a
qualitative descriptive approach. The form of oral data was obtained from
informants who speak KdL, the Mountain dialect, the Hule subdialect, and
Nilanapo village, at least 25-65 years old. Data was collected using the
listening and speaking method equipped with the techniques of listening
involved speaking, listening free involved speaking, speaking face-to-face,
recording, noting and documentation. Data analysis uses analysis steps such as
data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The
results of the study stated that there are two types of KdL composites, namely
subordinate composites, including substantive subordinatives type A and
attributive subordinatives type B and coordinative composites with type C. The
relationship between the words that form the composite is adhesive and cohesive
that it cannot be inserted with other words, one of its core elements cannot be
expanded and it cannot be reversed. KdL composites' characteristics include
non-insertion, non-extensiveness, and irreversibility (morphological
characteristics) and have a unity of meaning (semantic characteristics).
Semantically, the meaning of KdL composites states a new meaning that cannot be
known in relation to the two core components, a new meaning that can be known
in relation to one of the components, and a new meaning that can be known about
both components. Based on the word category, the KdL composite includes the
categories of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, numerals and conjunctions.
