Tulisan ini memberikan deskripsi sederhana terhadap operasi morfologis yang digunakan dalam pembentukan kata Bahasa Bima. Data yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini diperoleh dari khasanah kebahasaan penulis sendiri yang lahir dan besar di Bima. Berdasakan data yang diperoleh, ada empat operasi morfologis yang digunakan dalam Bahasa Bima, yaitu prefiksasi, klitikalisasi, pemajemukan, dan pengulangan. Prefiksasi dalam Bahasa Bima menggunakan prefiks /N-/ dan prefiks /ka-/. Penggunaan kedua prefiks tersebut dapat menderivasi verba dari nomina, adverbia dari nerba, verba dari ajektiva, dan verba intransitif dari verba transitif. Dengan kata lain, prefiksasi digunakan untuk menandai proses derivasi. Sementara itu, klitikalisasi meggunakan klitik pornomiona ku, mu, na, dan ta yang berfungsi menandai proses infleksi. Kehadiran klitik tersebut harus sesuai dengan pronomina yang digunakan dalam sebuah kalimat. Sedangkan, pemajemukan dilakukan untuk menandai proses derivasi karena dapat mengubah identitas kedua kata yang digabung walaupun secara kategorial sama. Pemajemukan dapat dilakukan dengan menggabungkan nomina + nomina, adektiva + nomina, adjektiva + verba, verba + nomina, dan verba + verba. Pengulangan dilakukan untuk memberikan penekanan pada kata dasar tanpa mengubah makna dan kategori kata yang bersangkutan. Hal ini berarti pengulangan tersebut tergolong kedalam proses infleksi. Akan tetapi terdapat beberapa contoh  pengulangan dengan beberapa dasar nomina yang menandai proses derivasi karena dapat mengubah kategori nomina menjadi verba intransitif.

Makalah ini memerikan beberapa data yang menunjukkan ketidakbiasaan penggunaan ba dalam Bahasa Bima, yang selama ini dianggap sebagai pemarkah agen pada konstruksi kalimat pasif. Berdasarkan kajian awal yang dilakukan terhadap tiga wacana lisan yang direkam, diperoleh 39,78% kemunculan ba tidak digunakan untuk menandai agen pada konstruksi kalimat pasif. hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ba tidak semata-mata digunakan untuk menandai agen dalam konstruksi kalimat pasif. Terdapat tiga ketidakbiasaan penggunaan ba yang dapat diidentifikasi. Pertama, ba yang digunakan bersama dengan ede berfungsi sebagai penanda transisi dalam suatu rangkaian dalam wacana. Kedua, ba digunakan sebelum agen dari suatu relasi non-oblik. Yang terakhir, ba yang digunakan dengan kai dalam kalimat intransitif sebelum pengalam.

The Bimanese particle kai occurs both as an instrumental preposition preceding a noun phrase and within the verb complex, where it performs a variety of syntactic functions that fall into two main groups: valency-increasing and nominalization. However, in discourse, a substantial number of instances have no clear syntactic function, and appear to be performing a discourse function instead. In this paper, based on our examination of a corpus of narratives and conversational data, we outline the main syntactic functions of kai, and investigate its discourse distribution. Valency increase may involve the licensing of an additional applicative object with either a one- or two-argument verb, or more rarely the creation of a one-argument verb from a nonverbal base. Nominalizations are of two types, one producing locative nouns, and the other nominalized clauses. Discourse kai is found with both transitive and intransitive verbs, with no increase in valency.

Learning English to EFL learners must always be challenging since it requires not only the willingness for learning, but also students' awareness of the phonological differences between the students' mother tongue on one hand and English as the target language on the other.

There are 10 students' each of local language speakers taken as the sample in this study. Data is gained by using phonological test.

This article aims at describing the syntactic properties and distributions of Personal Pronouns in the Bima Language, a language spoken by approximately 9000 people who inhabit the eastern part of Sumbawa Island. This number of speakers does not include those who live in Reo Pota Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara. The Bima Language is grouped into Sumba-Bima Subgroup of Central Malayo-Polynesian (CMP) branch of Austronesian Language. Data in this study are the linguistic units from morphems level to clausal level. The data were taken from conversations and monologues recorded in the real situations in which the Bima Language is used. The focus of this paper is to describe the personal pronoun system of the Bima Language, describing types of personal pronouns and their syntactic properties and distributions. Based on the analysis, the Bima Language has a set of morphologically independent personal pronouns (full pronouns) and a set of clitics. Both sets of personal pronouns show the same syntactic properties and distributions. These two sets of personal pronouns are able to occur as independent clausal arguments of both intransitive and transitive constructions. In addition to their distributions, these two sets of personal pronouns can occur with numerals, relatives, and NPs. However, only full personal pronouns can combine with demonstratives.
