Abstract

Although several tourist destinations in the Bangka Belitung Islands, particularly in West Bangka, Central Bangka, and South Bangka, derive their names from local folklore such as Mercusuar Mentok, Batu Balai, Pantai Tanjung Ular, Pantai Tapak Antu, Pantai Lampu, and Pantai Batu Berakit the narrative structures and cultural meanings embedded in these place names have received limited scholarly attention. As a result, the role of folklore-based place naming in shaping spatial identity and cultural memory within tourism contexts remains insufficiently examined.This research aims to analyze the narrative structure and cultural significance of the names of these tourist destinations using Vladimir Propp's narrative theory and Edward Said's postcolonial perspective. It employs a descriptive-interpretive qualitative approach involving field observations and semi-structured interviews with twelve local communities. Data were collected from oral narratives, literature reviews, and local documents. The findings reveal that each place name exhibits distinct narrative function patterns, including interdiction, violation, recognition, return, absentation, villainy, struggle, testing, and reward, which together shape the moral and spiritual values of the Bangka Belitung community. Additionally, the study incorporates a postcolonial view that highlights the folklorization process of these tourist attraction names in Bangka, as an effort to negotiate local identity and transform colonial influences into autonomous cultural symbols. This study contributes to the field of cultural toponymy and tourism studies by demonstrating that the naming of tourist attractions in Bangka Belitung functions not only as a geographic identifier but also as a narrative structure that preserves collective memory and operates as a postcolonial strategy of symbolic resistance, reinforcing the cultural identity of the Bangka Belitung people.Keywords: Bangka Belitung; folklore; narrative structure; postcolonial; Vladimir Propp

Abstract

The use of language in fishing communities is closely associated with the knowledge and social experiences developed through sustained interaction with the marine environment. However, fishermen’s lexical practices involve more than the identification of marine species, as particular lexical forms may also distinguish members of the community from speakers outside the fishing group. This study aims to examine how fishermen’s fish-name lexicon contributes to the construction of linguistic identity in Kampung Bugis Juru Seberang, Tanjung pandan. An ethnolinguistic approach was employed to analyse 10 fish-name lexicons, with Giles and Johnson’s ethnolinguistic identity theory providing the analytical framework, particularly the concepts of psycholinguistic distinctiveness, perceived group boundaries, and ethnolinguistic differentiation. The findings show that the fish lexicon functions as a shared linguistic repertoire through which fishermen organize and communicate knowledge developed from their occupational engagement with the coastal environment. The recognition and use of particular fish names create a form of shared lexical knowledge that distinguishes community members from speakers who do not share the same linguistic repertoire. This lexical distinction becomes more significant in interaction across group boundaries, where local terms may be maintained in in-group communication but adjusted or explained when addressing outsiders. These findings indicate that fishermen’s linguistic identity is constructed not simply through the existence of local fish names, but through their shared use, recognition, and differentiation in social interaction. The fish lexicon therefore represents an ethnolinguistic resource through which occupational knowledge is shared and linguistic boundaries are negotiated within the coastal community.
