We write the paper and performed all statistical analyses via R Markdown Notebook in RStudio (Version 1.1.463) using the latest version of R (R version 3.5.1 "Feather Spray").
In order to render the .Rmd file into MS Word output, we use the bookdown R package. We also used the R packages within the tidyverse to perform data processing and analyses in the embedded R codes within the .Rmd file.
The collexemes of the studied verbs are retrieved from Indonesian Leipzig Corpora in R using the collogetr R package.
Abstract of the paper
In Indonesian:
Makalah ini mengenalkan Analisis Koleksem Khas (Distinctive Collexeme Analysis) dan mengulas potensinya terhadap salah satu isu linguistik dalam Bahasa Indonesia (BI), yaitu perbedaan semantis pasangan verba kausatif deajektiva sebagai pencontohan dua konstruksi kausatif morfologis (yaitu [per- + AJ] dan [AJ + -kan]), yang, menurut salah satu buku tatabahasa BI, perbedaan maknanya dianggap tidak begitu disadari oleh kebanyakan penutur BI. Dengan menggunakan pasangan kata memperbesar dan membesarkan sebagai contoh awal, ditemukan adanya perbedaan substansial berdasarkan distribusi dan tipe semantis koleksem R1 khas pada masing-masing verba. Lebih lanjut, koleksem khas kedua verba tersebut mencerminkan ciri semantis dominan yang dilandasi dengan dua metafora konseptual berbeda: (i) PENTING ADALAH BESAR untuk membesarkan, dan (ii) metafora ikutan dari KUANTITAS ADALAH UKURAN, yaitu LEBIH (BANYAK) ADALAH BESAR, untuk memperbesar.

This contribution introduces Distinctive Collexeme Analysis (DCA) and explores its potential to address a theoretical issue in Indonesian linguistics, namely semantic dissimilarity between a pair of deadjectival causative verbs of the same root realising two causative morphological constructions, which, according to one of the Indonesian grammar textbooks, are assumed to be semantically indistinguishable by many Indonesian speakers; the constructions are [per- + ADJ] and [ADJ + -kan]. Using the pair of active-voiced verbs with the root besar ‘big’ (i.e. memperbesar and membesarkan) as a preliminary example, we demonstrate that there are substantial distributional and semantic differences concerning the distinctive R1 collexemes of these verbs. We argue that the predominant semantics of the verbs based on their distinctive collexemes reflect two different metaphorical conceptualisations: (i) IMPORTANCE IS BIG for membesarkan, and (ii) the entailment of QUANTITY IS SIZE metaphor, namely MORE IS BIG, for memperbesar.
