摘要：This study is an attempt to describe the terminology of Metroxylon sago among the Melanau community in Mukah, Sarawak (Malaysia). The paper is divided into three main sections: the research method, introduction to the Melanau and their language, and the description of sago terms. The research results reported here are based on data collected in a qualitative research project, featuring face to face interviews in situ. Lexical items related to the sago palm plant and its taxonomy; the harvesting process; processing sago and its products; and, ethno-cultural issues are discussed in this paper.
