Abstract

Melengkan, a form of traditional oral expression performed during wedding ceremonies in the Gayo community of Aceh, Indonesia, is rich in metaphorical language. This study analyses the metaphors found in Melengkan from an Ecolinguistics perspective. Using a qualitative approach, the research examines how these metaphors reflect cultural values and ecological awareness. This research identifies and analyzes three dominant metaphorical domains found in Gayo marriage melengkan: Nature-Based Metaphors, Social Relationship Metaphors, and Moral-Ethical Metaphors. Nature-based metaphors illustrate ecological awareness, portraying elements like trees, rivers, clouds, and wind as symbols of harmony, resilience, and balance in marital life. Social metaphors highlight the communal aspect of marriage, reinforcing values such as kinship, consensus, and collective responsibility. Moral and ethical metaphors emphasize adat (customary law), integrity, and spiritual obligations within the institution of marriage. The findings reveal that melengkan is not only a medium of cultural expression but also a reflection of the Gayo people's eco-centric worldview, where language serves to sustain both environmental and social harmony. This study contributes to the broader understanding of how traditional oral literature embodies ecological values and reinforces sustainable cultural practices through metaphorical language.The findings reveal that Melengkan embodies expressions that symbolize social harmony and the interconnection between humans and nature. This suggests that local oral traditions play a crucial role in preserving both cultural identity and ecological knowledge.

Abstract

This study investigates the politeness strategies employed in interactions on Ganjar Pranowo's Instagram account, with particular attention to how linguistic choices shape digital political communication. It explores the strategies used by both followers and the politician to navigate social dynamics, express solidarity, and manage face-threatening acts within a public online setting. Utilizing a qualitative content analysis approach, the study examines 250 comments and responses, categorized according to Brown and Levinson’s four politeness strategies: bald-on-record, positive politeness, negative politeness, and off-record. The findings reveal that positive politeness is the most commonly employed strategy among followers, reflecting a supportive and affiliative communicative style. Bald-on-record strategies are also frequently observed, indicating direct and unmitigated expressions. In contrast, Ganjar Pranowo primarily adopts bald-on-record strategies, suggesting a preference for clarity and communicative efficiency. Negative politeness and off-record strategies appear less frequently, underscoring the overall informal and inclusive nature of the digital interactions.
