INDONESIAN INFLUENCE IN DUTCH: A CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Cuisine is one of the results of connection between Dutch and Indonesian people. Both of them have loanwords from each other. This paper presents adaptations of Indonesian loanwords in Dutch in the field of cuisine. What are the differences between Indonesian bakmi, gado-gado and Dutch bami, gado-gado? Why are they different? In the field of linguistic adaptations the words like daging smoor and nasibal are examined orthographically and semantically. Semantic explanations will be used to determine the differences between Indonesian nasi and Dutch nasi. The data are gathered from websites on Indonesian cuisine in Dutch.
