One of the Linguistic subfields is Semantics. It is usually understood to be the study of meanings which are encoded in the structure of the language. In modern Linguistics, the meaning is studied by making detailed analysis of way words and sentences that are used in specific contexts. One of Semantic theories is Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM), namely a Reductive paraphrase or Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach is founded on the principles of clarity and simplicity. The basic idea is that we should try to describe complex meanings in terms of simpler ones. The NSM is one of the semantic metalanguages used to state semantic representation including English linguistic form such as “have”.
There are two essential problems for the study, namely (1) What is the meaning of the word Have? and (2) In which context each meaning is used?
The design of this research is qualitative method since the data of this study cannot be treated with statistical procedures as those in the quantitative research. The source of the data is Oxford Learner’s Dictionary of Current English and Oxford Advanced Learner’s Encyclopedic Dictionary. In this research, the selected sentences are only the sentences that consist of the word Have.
Having conducted the analysis, I found that there are three different meanings of the word Have, namely Have which roughly means possess or own, which applies to whatever belongs to someone and part of someone or it is used in the context of showing something belongs to someone. Have which roughly means cause or ask. It applies to cause someone to do something or cause something to be done. Have roughly means already. It applies to something which already happened or something which has happened in the past. The context of each meaning of Have is, first, Have roughly means possess or own is used in the context of present tense. Second, Have roughly means cause or ask is used in the context of causative. Third, Have roughly means already is used in the context of Present Perfect Tense. In other words, it can be said that perfective aspect determines the last meaning.
