Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the forms of comparative language style used in Vanessa Zee's YouTube episode of the Agak Laen Official podcast. Comparative language style is a figure of speech used to compare one object with another to create a more engaging and understandable communication effect. This study employed a qualitative approach with descriptive methods and content analysis. Data were collected through library research by quoting words and sentences containing comparative language style from podcast video transcripts. The data analysis technique refers to the Miles and Huberman model, which includes three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results show various forms of comparative language style used by the speakers in the podcast to express ideas, experiences, and emotions in a more lively and engaging manner, thereby enhancing the communication appeal of the podcast content.

Abstract

This study examines the values of local wisdom embodied in the Legenda Batu Porang Ni Aji, a traditional Batak Toba legend originating from Pangunjungan Village, Habinsaran District, Toba Regency, North Sumatra. The legend narrates the tragic consequences of an incestuous relationship between two siblings, which ultimately results in their transformation into stone as divine and customary punishment. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach through folklore analysis, this study explores the moral, cultural, and social values reflected in the narrative based on the concept of local wisdom. The findings reveal that the legend primarily functions as a medium for preserving moral principles and reinforcing the Batak Toba kinship system, particularly the prohibition of incest and the importance of maintaining family honor. The analysis identifies seven major elements of local wisdom, five of which emphasize peace-oriented values, including self-control, politeness, social solidarity, belief in God, and moral education, while two represent prosperity-oriented values, namely diligence and work ethic. The dominance of peace-related values demonstrates that the legend serves as an effective mechanism of social control, cultural preservation, and character education. Consequently, Legenda Batu Porang Ni Aji remains highly relevant in contemporary society as a cultural instrument for transmitting ethical values, strengthening collective identity, and preserving the traditional wisdom of the Batak Toba community amid ongoing social and cultural transformation.
