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

This study aims to analyze language variation that occurs in Toba Batak traditional ceremonies through a sociolinguistic perspective. Language variation in a traditional context is understood as a socio-cultural phenomenon that reflects the identity, values, and social structure of the speaking community (Fishman, 1972). Toba Batak traditional ceremonies, such as the unjuk (showing ceremony), mangulosi (mangulosi), mangalahat horbo (showing ceremony), and traditional weddings, have distinctive and functional language structures, such as the use of umpasa (words), tutur (words), hata somba (words), and hata andung (words). These languages serve not only as a means of communication but also as a means of strengthening social relations, respect, and the transmission of cultural values (Sibarani, 2012). The research method used a descriptive qualitative approach using text analysis and literature review techniques. Data were obtained from various ritual documents, recordings of traditional ceremonies, and previous research on Toba Batak linguistics. The results indicate that language variation in Toba Batak traditional ceremonies is influenced by kinship, social status, ritual context, and specific communicative purposes (Duranti, 1997). This study finds that modern social changes influence speech styles, particularly among the younger generation, who are beginning to become familiar with Indonesian. These findings demonstrate a shift in form, but not the elimination of the cultural function of ritual language. This research contributes to the understanding of the dynamics of regional languages in cultural practices and provides a foundation for the preservation of Toba Batak linguistics in the modern era.

Abstract

This study aims to uncover the symbolic meaning of ulos in the formation of Batak cultural identity through the perspective of the weaving tradition. Using a qualitative approach with text analysis, this study examines weavers' narratives, cultural documents, and representations of ulos motifs and structures as cultural texts containing a network of meanings. The analysis is conducted by interpreting the weavers' creative narratives and linking them to the social, aesthetic, and spiritual functions of ulos. The research findings indicate that ulos has layered meanings that reflect ancestral values, kinship relations, and customary legitimacy. It is produced through a creative process rich in personal experience and collective memory. The weaving tradition serves as an important space for the inheritance of cultural values, as weavers act as cultural agents, maintaining the continuity of ulos symbolism amidst social change. The study also found that the meaning of ulos is not only evident in its use in traditional ceremonies but is shaped throughout the process of motif creation through the weavers' reflection of cultural values. This demonstrates that Batak identity is dynamic and continuously negotiated through practices of cultural representation. The limitations of this study lie in the limited scope of informants and the lack of exploration of the meaning of ulos across all Batak sub-ethnicities. Further research is recommended to broaden the perspectives of users and examine the influence of globalization on motif transformation. This study provides theoretical and practical contributions to the preservation of Batak cultural heritage through a deeper understanding of the symbolism of ulos as a living cultural text.

Abstract

Developing the Batak weaving tradition as part of the creative economy is a strategic effort to strengthen cultural values ​​while improving the welfare of local communities. This study aims to analyze the preservation, innovation, and utilization of local wisdom in the Batak weaving production process so that it can be developed as a competitive creative economy product. The research method used a qualitative approach using observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies of ulos artisans in several regions in North Sumatra who still preserve Batak weaving. The results show that the weaving tradition not only functions as a socio-ritual identity and symbol but also has high economic potential when packaged innovatively. Motif development, product diversification, and the use of natural dyes are key strategies to meet the needs of the modern market without abandoning traditional values. Furthermore, the role of indigenous communities and women weaver groups is crucial in maintaining the continuity of local knowledge. The main challenges faced are limited regeneration of young weavers, a lack of support for production technology, and limited market access. This study confirms that the integration of local wisdom, design innovation, and digital marketing strategies can strengthen the position of Batak weaving as a competitive creative economy product. Thus, developing the weaving tradition is not only a means of cultural preservation but also a path to sustainable economic empowerment for the Batak people.
