Abstract :
Kinship terminology is the most familiar way of addressing others who are bound to themselves because of blood, descent, and marriage as a branch of linguistic anthropology study. This research attempts to find the kinship terminology between Cina Benteng and Khek which are a few Peranakan Tionghoa communities in Indonesia but have different language and cultural backgrounds. Both dialects have a set of specific kinship terminology patterns to indicate the genealogy relation of one to another in a nuclear family and in an extended family. This research also purposed to find the similarities and differences in kinship terminology in three-generation above and three-generation below Ego between two communities that live in Tangerang using Lado?s concept. The method of this research is a qualitative descriptive approach. This research uses the theories from Consanguineal and Affinal kin by Burling (1970), Side of the Family by Nanda (1991), and Gender, Generation, and Lineage by Lounsbury theory in Leech (1965) to find out the similarities and differences of kinship terms in Bahasa Benteng and Bahasa Khek dialect. The data type of this research is primary data because it was collected through interviewing several informants that met the given requirements. As a result, this research shows that Cina Benteng and Khek communities divided the kinship terminology by its relation through consanguineal and affinal kin, the side of the family, gender, generation, and lineage. Both communities also have several similarities in terms of consanguineal and affinal kin. The differences between both communities lie in the consanguineal relation at the second generation above Ego and also the affinal relation such as stepfather and stepmother. The cultural background of each community influenced the terminology used in the original language.
