PENELITIAN ini bertujuan mengetahui hakikat nama diri bagi Orang Selayar, transformasi nilai dan degradasi makna pada nama-nama kultur masyarakat selayar, dan prospek serta bentuk-bentuk upaya mempertahankan nama kultur di era modern.

Karena itu, diperlukan berbagai upaya mempertahankan nama-nama kultur tersebut.
