Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

This thesis aims to study adjectives in the Malay language with particular focus on adjectives related to senses. 38 adjectives have been chosen as sample for this study. Component meaning analysis is used to analysis the adjectives related to senses. This component meaning analaysis aims to analayse and interpret the meaning of every word based on the similarity of the features which is shared by these words. Words with high levels of synonymity leads to share a number of fetures compared to a low level of synonymity. The synonymity of words can be seen clearly based on the similarity of features with is symbolised as [ + ]. This study also reveals that there are words that neither share any general meaning features nor diagnostic features. Every adjective is interpreted using collocation methodology. This refers to the utilisation of words in sentences contexts and reveals the meaning of the words that are being studied based corpus data from Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP). The substituion of lexics in sentences aims to show the differences of meanings based on the various linguistics and enviroment. More over every adjective is categorised based on computer corpus data. Computer corpus data is chosen to expose to what extend the ‘senses’ adjectives is related to the concept of the senses such as smell, taste, vision, hear and touch. Based on sentece interpretation, it is found that there is a wide use of adjectives related to senses. This study also found that the wide of adjectives is not withing the perimetre of the five senses but also refers to meaning not related to senses. This can be traced when there are presence of adjectives with refer to thoughts, feeling and behaviour.
