Abstract

The Batak Simalungun people have customs that are observed from conception to death, each with its own uniqueness and social values. This study aims to describe the social and ethical values ??in one of the Batak Simalungun traditional wedding processes, namely the Mangalop Bona Unjuk tradition, which is carried out before marriage by asking permission from an uncle or tondong. This tradition is not just a permission, but a form of respect and a manifestation of moral and social values passed down from generation to generation. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to explain the meaning of Mangalop Bona Unjuk, collecting data through case studies, including journals, books, and related websites. The results of the study show that this tradition embodies high social and ethical values such as respect, ethics, and family togetherness. In addition, Mangalop Bona Unjuk serves to strengthen kinship ties and secure the blessing of the extended family, ensuring the wedding process proceeds peacefully and joyfully. Thus, the Mangalop Bona Unjuk tradition plays an important role in shaping the character and maintaining the social balance of the Batak Simalungun people.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the process of internalization of ethical values in Toba Batak traditional ceremonies through an anthropolinguistic approach. Traditional ceremonies are symbolic spaces where language, ritual actions, and kinship relations interact and represent cultural values. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method, with data collection techniques involving analysis of ritual texts used in various ceremonies, such as mangulosi, mangarapot, and mangulosi boru. The results show that ethical values such as somba marhula-hula, manat mardongan tubu, and elek marboru are internalized through traditional speech, kinship arrangements, and material symbols used in ceremonial processions. The anthropolinguistic analysis indicates that ritual language functions not only as a means of communication but also as a mechanism for reinforcing social norms passed down through generations. Furthermore, the internalization of ethical values in the younger generation occurs through the repetition of traditional language formulas, the strengthening of the role of Dalihan Na Tolu in the social structure, and direct participation in family ritual processions. This research confirms that Toba Batak traditional ceremonies serve a crucial role as a medium for the reproduction of moral and ethical values, as well as an instrument for preserving cultural identity amidst the tide of modernization. These findings contribute to the development of anthropolinguistic studies and a deeper understanding of the relationship between language, culture, and ethics in Toba Batak society.
