Abstract
Greetings and personal pronouns in Taba language cannot be separated from the cultural context and social backgrounds, such as age, kinship, and relative statuses including education level, community and religious figures. This study aims at analyzing the patterns of using kinship greetings with honorific personal pronouns. This study was conducted on Taba speakers, the people of East Makeang Island, South Halmahera. The data were taken from speeches of sentences containing greetings for kinship and honorific personal pronouns through observation and recording. The results show that the use of greetings determines the lexicon of honorific and non-honorific personal pronouns. A second person singular will form an honorific in second personal plural pronoun. This also applies to third-person greetings. Second and third plural pronouns followed with proclitic are morphologically attached to the verbs and cross-referenced with pronominal pronouns/phrases in syntactic relation/function as the subject.
