Abstract

This study attempts to compare the meanings of body parts in Acehnese and English. This is to support the general principle of body conceptualization as reflected in semantic organizations across languages and to explain that ethnoanatomy can be described and compared through the use of natural semantics. The results of this study show that the meaning of body parts in Acehnese is relatively similar to English, despite there are differences in its descriptions. This proves that semantic typology does have slight differences but the specific manifestation of language from the universal category has the same foundation.
