MEANINGS OF ENGLISH LOANWORDS IN INDONESIAN ARTICLES OF SPORT
ABSTRACT: This study
investigates the meanings of English loanwords in Indonesian sport texts. The
data analyzed in this study were taken from sport articles of an Indonesian
newspaper in 2010 and 2011. Their meanings in the text were compared to those
in English dictionaries, sport glossary and KBBI 2008 using Nida’s componential
analysis of meaning (Nida, 1975:32-67). The results showed that most of the
English loanwords in the Indonesian sport articles had their meanings unchanged
and some others experienced semantic changes. The results imply that some
revision should be made to the meanings of some English loanwords in KBBI 2008.
