Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the morphological structure of the Toba Batak language from the perspective of generative transformation studies. The primary issue in this microlinguistic research is the process of word formation through the mechanisms of affixation, reduplication, and composition. Previous research on word forms in the Simalungun Batak language has been based on structural morphological theory, which only examines linguistic phenomena superficially. Therefore, linguistic phenomena that actually occur in the field are often overlooked because the theories used are unable to fully explain them. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. This approach was chosen because it aims to describe in depth and structure phenomena related to word structure in the Simalungun Batak language (BBS) from the perspective of Generative Morphology Theory. The results of this study indicate that the morphological system of the Simalungun Batak language describes in depth and structure phenomena related to word structure in the Simalungun Batak language (BBS) from the perspective of Generative Morphology Theory. The first issue in this research is the process of word formation through the mechanisms of affixation, reduplication, and composition, which only examines linguistic phenomena superficially.

Abstract

This study aims to uncover changes in the social function of the Bolon House, the factors causing the changes, and their impact on the meaning and cultural values of the Toba Batak people. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with document-based analysis (documentary research). This approach was chosen because the study focuses on literature reviews and secondary data relevant to the changes in the function of the Bolon House, without conducting direct observations in the field. Data sources in this study consist of primary and secondary data, namely books, scientific articles, undergraduate theses, dissertations, and academic journals on Toba Batak architecture, as well as cultural tourism, as well as documentary data, namely digital archives, reports from local governments/tourism offices, and policy documents related to cultural preservation and tourism development. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction stages, sorting information from literature and documents relevant to the topic of changes in the function of the Bolon House. Categorization groups the data into themes: the traditional social function of the Bolon House, factors of change, implications for tourism, and cultural preservation. Although the change in function has the potential to reduce its sacred and social value, the existence of the Bolon House in the tourism sector also opens up opportunities for preservation, promotion of cultural identity, and empowerment of the local economy. Thus, this transformation needs to be managed wisely so that the Bolon House continues to function as a traditional architectural heritage that has sustainable social, cultural, and economic significance.

Abstract

Nominal phrases are an important syntactic element because they function as the core of clauses and sentences. This study aims to analyze the structure of nominal phrases in Indonesian using a generative grammar approach. Through the X-Bar theoretical framework in generative grammar, this study describes how nominal phrases are formed from lexical categories (N) that can be expanded by adding determinants (D), adjuncts, or complements. Research data were obtained from written texts in the form of news articles, scientific works, and popular literature to show variations in the use of nominal phrases in different contexts. Research data were collected using instruments such as Written Data Documentation Sheets, Nominal Phrase Identification and Extraction Sheets, X-Bar Structure Annotation Tables, Coding and Categorization Guidelines, and Analysis Notes. The analysis shows that Indonesian nominal phrases have a hierarchical structure with a phrase head (N) that can be expanded to the left or right. The existence of determinants, adjectival phrases, prepositional phrases, and relative clauses shows a complex transformation process, but remains consistent with the principles of generative grammar. The results of this study confirm that generative theory is effective in explaining the regularity and universality of Indonesian nominal phrase structures. Thus, this research contributes to the development of syntactic studies and provides a deeper understanding of how Indonesian represents syntactic relations within the framework of universal grammar.

Abstract

This research examines the form, function and meaning of ritual language in the Toba Batak community in Toba Samosir Regency through an anthropolinguistic approach. Ritual language is an important tool in traditional ceremonies which not only functions as a means of communication, but also as a medium for transmitting cultural values, social systems and ethnic identity. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods with participatory observation techniques, and analysis of traditional speech texts such as umpasa, mangupa prayers, and kinship greetings. The results of the research show that the Toba Batak ritual language reflects the dalihan natolu social system which emphasizes balanced social relations, respect for ancestors and clan solidarity. Traditional speeches such as umpasa contain moral values such as honesty, sincerity, hard work and mutual cooperation. Even though modernization has brought changes in the context of ritual language use, the Toba Batak community still maintains core values through adapting forms and media. Thus, the Toba Batak traditional language functions as a living and dynamic cultural structure, representing a close relationship between language, culture and ethnic identity.

Abstract

The architecture of Toba Batak traditional houses is a cultural heritage of the Indonesian archipelago, rich in symbolism and cosmological values. This study aims to examine the representation of cosmological values in the structure, spatial layout, and ornamentation of Toba Batak traditional houses, and to understand how these values function in the socio-cultural life of the community. Using a descriptive qualitative method with an anthropolinguistic approach and symbolic analysis, data were collected through literature review. The results show that Toba Batak traditional house architecture functions not only as a residence but also as a manifestation of the cosmos, composed of three main layers: the upper world (banua ginjang), the middle world (banua tonga), and the lower world (banua toru). This spatial division is represented through the stilt structure of the house, the orientation of the building facing north or the rising sun, and the use of gorga ornaments, which symbolize life, strength, and protection. Furthermore, the house’s raised-from-the-ground construction system reflects the concept of separating sacred and profane space, while the curved roof symbolizes the human connection with ancestors and divine powers. This research confirms that Toba Batak architecture is a medium for transmitting cosmological values that continue to live on in the community’s cultural practices. These findings are expected to contribute to the preservation of traditional architecture and the development of vernacular architectural studies in Indonesia.

Abstract

Traditional houses are one of the cultural heritages left by ancestors and are now part of local wisdom, especially in the Batak Simalungun area. The Ancient Bolon House is a traditional house typical of the Simalungun people which functions as a symbol of identity and reflects the cultural values of the Batak Simalungun people. This study aims to describe the function of each part of the Ancient Bolon House using qualitative research methods. In collecting data, this study uses literature study techniques by looking at various sources such as books, journals, and websites related to the Ancient Bolon House. The results of the study show that the Ancient Bolon House has several main parts, each of which has its own function and meaning, and contains important cultural values to be preserved by the younger generation through wedding activities and customs in family events. The Ancient Bolon House can also be a tourist attraction for foreign visits with its own cultural story.
