EMOSI MELAYU
DALAM BAHASA DAN BUDAYA CINA PERANAKAN KELANTAN, MALAYSIA 

Teo Kok Seong 

Abstract: Kelantan Peranakan Chinese is a group in Malaysia who have assimilated extensively to Kelantan Malays as well as Kelantan Thais.  This article discusses Malay emotion in their daily social lives, specifically in the linguistic and cultural domains.  Emotion in this article which is discerned as a conscious quality having great dominance on expressive behaviour and conscious experience, will be examined in both the linguistic and cultural realms of the heritage of these assimilated Chinese. Malay emotion is found to have immense impact in the formation of perceptions and influencing this group of Chinese in understanding and interpreting the world around them, besides creating a distinctive personality.  Malay emotion in this article is also deliberated in the context of the survival of this minority group adapting their “Chinese” culture in a Malay environment, especially in displaying a moralistic behaviour which is not in conflict to Malay norms and values.

Keywords: emotion, linguistic-cultural domains, assimilation, distinctive personality
