Abstract
Kupang Malay noun phrases (NP) have a unique structure. The speakers often reorder the phrases to convey a particular meaning. However, the reordering of the words in the noun phrase also has boundaries. Due to the problem, this study investigated the type of Kupang NP, its reordering pattern, its effect on the semantic content, grammatical function, and constraints of the NP reordering. This research employed Fieldworks lexical explorer (Flex) built up by SIL teams to analyze the data. The data was gathered from the online Kupang Malay Bible website. Sixty data were chosen from four out of twenty-eight books within the bible. The books are called carita mula-mula (Old Testament), Mathew, Mark, and Luke. The data consist of 30 NPs with pre-modifiers and 30 NPs constructed by post-modifiers. The result shows that pre-modifiers noun phrases undergo more reordering because they are triggered by the constituents than post-modifiers noun phrases. Most word shift does not affect a noun phrase's meaning and grammatical function.
马来语名词短语(NP)具有独特的结构。讲话者经常把短语重新排列以表达特定的意思。然而，名词短语中单词的重新排序也有界限。针对这一问题，本研究探讨了固邦NP的类型、重组模式、对语义内容、语法功能的影响以及重组的约束条件。本研究使用由SIL团队所建立的Fieldworks lexical explorer (Flex)来分析资料。这些数据是从在线库邦马来圣经网站收集的。60个数据选自《圣经》28卷中的4卷。这些书被称为《旧约》、《马太福音》、《马可福音》和《路加福音》。数据由30个带有前置修饰语的np和30个带有后置修饰语的np组成。结果表明，前修饰语名词短语比后修饰语名词短语更容易发生重新排序，因为它们是由成分触发的。大多数词的移位并不影响名词短语的意义和语法功能。
