As one of the villages in Yogyakarta City that represents this, this study will reveal the linguistic features of naming, the toponymic aspects of naming, then look for the origin of the naming of historical buildings in Kauman village to find out how the community views based on the name of historical buildings in Kauman Yogyakarta. Data were collected through observation, literature study, and interviews (record and note) which were then analyzed based on aspects of naming historical buildings in Kauman village.

Through this study, it is known that the naming of buildings is not only a form of symbolism, but it can be seen that the perspective of the Kauman village community is influenced by javanese and arabic culture.

Review

This research presents a compelling investigation into the toponymy of historical buildings in Kauman village, Yogyakarta, a topic of significant interdisciplinary interest spanning linguistics, cultural studies, and urban history. The abstract clearly articulates the study's relevance, positing language as a crucial symbolic tool for understanding the origins and cultural underpinnings of place naming. By focusing on Kauman, a village explicitly identified as representative of broader cultural dynamics in Yogyakarta, the study sets out to explore the linguistic features, toponymic aspects, and origins of naming, ultimately aiming to uncover the community's perspective embedded within these historical designations. The clear objectives and the localized focus promise a rich and nuanced analysis of a unique cultural landscape. The methodology, encompassing observation, literature review, and interviews, appears well-suited for a qualitative exploration of this nature, providing a robust approach to data collection. The preliminary findings offer intriguing insights, revealing a complex tapestry of influences on building names, including Arabic, Dutch, and Javanese languages and cultures, alongside specific naming processes like affixation and the use of the antiquated Van Ophuijsen spelling. The identification of toponymic aspects based on manifestation (appearance of the earth), social factors (figures, professions, interactions), and cultural elements provides a solid framework for analysis. While the abstract effectively outlines these findings, a deeper elaboration in the full paper on *how* these identified linguistic features specifically translate into the toponymic aspects, and a more explicit connection between the "appearance of the earth" and the manifestation aspect, would enhance clarity. Furthermore, the discussion on how the community's perspective is discerned *from* these names, beyond simply stating the influence of Javanese and Arabic culture, could be strengthened to fully address this key objective. Overall, this study makes a valuable contribution to understanding the layered historical and cultural landscape of Yogyakarta through the lens of toponymy. By dissecting the names of historical buildings, the research not only illuminates the diverse linguistic and cultural heritage of Kauman village but also provides a significant window into the evolving identity and perspectives of its community. The findings underscore the dynamic interplay between local and foreign influences in shaping spatial nomenclature, offering valuable insights for scholars interested in cultural heritage, historical linguistics, and the socio-cultural dynamics of urban spaces. This work is highly relevant and, with potential for further detail in the full manuscript, is poised to offer a significant contribution to the field.
