Abstract

This study aims to identify what local literature of Banggai coastal culture is appropriate as English reading materials for junior high school students to enhance their cultural awareness. This study employs content analysis. The data sources are two books about Banggai folktales written in English. The data are collected by applying note-taking techniques. The instruments used to gather the data include the researchers as the primary data collectors and analysts, a rubric of analytical constructs as a guide for collecting relevant data, and datasheets as the media for recording the data. The data, then, are analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Inter-coder agreement (peer debriefing) is used to maintain the trustworthiness of the study. This study finds that Banggai folktales are predominantly characterized by cultural aspects, including behaviors (35%) and norms (31%). However, readability analysis reveals that more than half of the twenty-seven texts fell into the uneven (55.5%) and invalid (26%) categories, and only a few texts, such as "The Legend of Lemelu Lake" and "The Legend of Tendetung Lake," are at an appropriate level for grade 7. This study is limited to text analysis without classroom application. The study concludes that Banggai folktales hold promise as alternative EFL reading materials, given that teachers adapt the texts to balance cultural richness with readability.

Abstract

This study examines Mompi’ohupi wedding ritual practiced by Saluan community in Batui, Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi. Its tradition is deeply embedded in semiotic meanings and meticulously preserved to this day. The documentation scarcity and inadequate comprehension of the cultural symbols embodied in the ritual raise concerns about the potential erosion of cultural identity in the face of modernization. In this study, it aims to identify and analyze semiotic meanings of the signs within  the ritual by applying Peirce’s theoretical framework. A qualitative research design was employed, with data  collected through in-depth interviews and documentation involving traditional leaders and community members. The findings reveal that each element of the ritual including tampok leaves, puring flowers, popoloti leaves, pupur, suhangbalu grass, white rice, lamps, an umbrella, and doda leaves carries symbolic values representing purity, protection, harmony, prosperity, and spiritual enlightenment. This study contributes to preservation of local cultural heritage, enriches scholarly discourse in anthropology and semiotics, and put more sustainable efforts into protecting traditional practices amid the dynamics of globalization.

Abstract

This study analyzes the Baode oral tradition of the Banggai community in Lumbi-lumbia Village, South Buko District, Central Sulawesi, through the perspectives of anthropolinguistics macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure. Employing a descriptive qualitative method with interviews, observations, and recordings as data collection techniques, the research draws on anthropolinguistics as the theoretical framework. The findings show that at the macrostructure level, the Baode text highlights themes of respect for ancestors, the preservation of customs, and the transmission of moral values across generations. The superstructure is organized into a coherent sequence of opening, body, and closing, designed to facilitate audience comprehension and to emphasize the moral messages of the performance. At the microstructure level, lexical and connotative analyses reveal the use of local vocabulary, metaphors, and repetition as expressions of politeness, cultural identity, and resistance to modernization. Overall, the study demonstrates that Baode is more than a form of entertainment: it represents the local wisdom of the Banggai people, functioning as a medium of cultural preservation, identity reinforcement, and social solidarity that requires revitalization in the face of globalization and declining intergenerational transmission.
