Abstract

This study aims to examine tambar kuning, a traditional medicine in the Batak Karo community, as an ecological representation through an ecolinguistic approach. Tambar kuning consists of two main types: kuning melas (hot balm) and kuning mbergeh (cold balm), each used according to bodily conditions and environmental factors. The research was conducted in Gurusinga Village, Karo Regency, using a descriptive qualitative method. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and literature study. The findings show that tambar kuning not only functions as a healing agent but also reflects the Karo people's local knowledge in utilizing natural resources. Its composition is based on local flora, selected for their warming or cooling effects. This practice demonstrates a strong interrelation between language, culture, and ecology. Furthermore, the lexical items related to tambar kuning serve as verbal representations of the community's ecological knowledge system. The study concludes that tambar kuning is an intangible cultural heritage containing ecological and linguistic values that should be preserved as part of the collective identity of the Karo people.

Abstract

This study analyzes the linguistic landscape of the Sisingamangaraja Palace area in Humbang Hasundutan Regency as a representation of cultural identity, language ideology, and strategies for preserving cultural heritage in public space. The study is grounded in Landry and Bourhis’s linguistic landscape theory and Stuart Hall’s perspective of cultural representation. A descriptive qualitative method was employed through visual observation, photographic documentation, and interviews with key informants. Data were interpretively analyzed to examine the use of Indonesian, Batak Toba language, English, and Batak script across various visual media. The findings indicate that the linguistic landscape functions not only informationally but also symbolically, representing historical legitimacy, cultural authority, and spirituality, while serving as a site of negotiation between locality, nationality, and globality in strengthening the collective memory of the Batak community.
