AbstrakSelama pandemi Covid-19, anjuran untuk stay at home mulai dikampanyekan melalui berbagai media. Frasa tersebut kemudian dipadankan dalam bahasa daerah dengan tujuan keefektifan penyampaian informasi. Dalam bahasa Melayu Kupang, stay at home dipadankan dengan dua frasa; kukuru’u di rumah dan lu’u di rumah. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis makna kata kukuru’u dan lu’u untuk mencari padanan yang lebih tepat dengan menggunakan metode analisis korpus. Korpus bahasa Melayu Kupang kemudian dianalisis menggunakan AntConc untuk membandingkan kolokasi kedua kata yang berdekatan makna (near-synonyms). Hasil analisis korpus menunjukkan bahwa kukuru’u lebih banyak berkolokasi dengan aktivitas di dalam rumah, sedangkan lu’u mengandung konotasi negatif dan merupakan aktivitas yang tidak hanya berlangsung di dalam rumah. Dengan demikian, kukuru’u dapat digunakan sebagai padanan yang lebih tepat untuk anjuran stay at home.Kata-kata kunci: Kukuru’u, Lu’u, Analisis Korpus, AntConc, Sinonim, Bahasa Melayu KupangAbstractDuring Covid-19 pandemic, people have been suggested to stay at home, resulting in the campaign of ‘stay at home’ in various types of media.
