- Abstract
This article discusses question words in the Perlis dialect. The data used in this study were taken from a field study conducted in the state of Perlis. Perlis is a small state which composed of three districts such as Padang Besar, Kangar and Arau. However, these three districts comprise of 22 small districts encompassing 228 villages. Therefore to ease the research, the study area was identified through GPS geographical grids which were drawn up in accordance with the scale of 5km: 1cm. As a result of these grids, 40 boxes were produced. Each box of grid represents a village. Two respondents from each village were identified based on NORMs criteria. The primary data were obtained through interviewing the native speakers of the Perlis dialect. This analysis found that the question words can be broken down into two categories, adjunct question words (mengkala or bila (when), gheno or macam mana (how), brapa (how many) and awat (why), while the complement question words are apa, sapo (whom) and where. This analysis found that all the question words in the Perlis dialect have the same properties. They can be found in front, at the middle and at the end of an interogative sentence. This study claims that all the question words in the Perlis dialect can be moved and in-situ as well.
