| dc.description.abstract | In Indonesian Great Dictionary, both of the words “angry” and “hate” are
more or less defined as something uneasy. This definition has actually aroused overwhelming
question for in daily use the two words seem to be different. How different
they are can be answered by using the reference of prototype theory which will
be applied on the abstract concept for the characteristics of the two words. In this
study, the respondents are 42 students of the eight semester of English Department,
UPI. They are presented with open questions to identify the kinds of prototype
and its cognitive model. In addition, they are expected to evaluate the best
attribute for the words angry and hate. The result shows that the word “angry”
can be physiologically and psychologically identified, while another word, “hate”
can only be psychologically identified. Moreover, there is family relateness in their
cognitive model. This fact influences the implicit meaning of the two words in the
current dictionary. | en_US |
