Abstract

Nias language is one of the many local languages in Indonesia. The people of Nias use the Nias language as their first language. This BN has existed and has lived for hundreds of years until now. The research aims to describe the function of the use of persona deixis in the traditional marriage speech of the South Nias Community. This research was designed using descriptive qualitative research. Qualitative research is carried out in a reasonable situation, namely understanding and interpreting the meaning of an event of human behaviour interaction in certain situations. The result shows the function of personal deixis in marriage speech in South Nias, which refers to the first, second and third person pronouns in both singular and plural forms and helps the speaker to show the references of each speech. The use of personal deixis also shows the speech participants’ kinship so that communication becomes more effective and polite.
