Language and Culture: A Reference to the Malay Crafts Terminology

Puteri Roslina Abdul Wahid

Abstract—This paper focuses on coining of terms in Malay crafts terminology. The research observes how concepts and system of concepts help in coining a term in a local culture, by focusing on the coining of terms using the native words in Malay language. Moreover, Malay culture is very rich with its glossary of words from the Malay language and its dialects. Hence, application of the concept theory in coining a term and preparation of its description help terminologists to prepare a terminology glossary.

Index Terms—Malay language, culture, Malay crafts,terminology, concept system, native words.
