Abstract

Pemahaman metafora merupakan aspek penting dalam perkembangan bahasa dan kognisi anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi strategi interpretasi metafora sederhana yang digunakan oleh anak usia 5–7 tahun berdasarkan respons verbal mereka. Kajian-kajian terdahulu cenderung menitikberatkan pada hasil akhir pemahaman melalui pendekatan kuantitatif, sehingga proses interpretatif anak sering tereduksi menjadi kategori benar atau salah. Dengan demikian, kebaharuan penelitian ini terletak pada proses pemaknaan metaforis melalui pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan subjek terbatas. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi kasus kualitatif dengan tiga subjek anak usia 5, 6, dan 7 tahun. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur berbasis stimulus yang terdiri dari lima kalimat metaforis sederhana dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis tematik kualitatif yang mengacu pada teori metafora konseptual, teori perkembangan kognitif anak, serta pendekatan sosiokognitif dalam pemerolehan makna. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya variasi strategi interpretasi metafora yang berkembang seiring usia, mulai dari pemahaman literal dan berbasis ciri fisik, pemahaman analogis parsial, hingga pemahaman kontekstual. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa pemahaman metafora pada anak berkembang secara bertahap, tidak linear, dan respons verbal anak merupakan indikator penting untuk mengungkap proses kognitif dan pragmatik dalam perkembangan bahasa figuratif.

Abstract

This study tries to examine how culinary authenticity of Batak Toba cuisine is represented in English language Instagram captions from a corpus assisted discourse perspective. By applying the multidimensional authenticity frameworks proposed by Johnston and Baumann (2010) and Freedman and Jurafsky (2011), alongside collocation and concordance analysis informed by Hunston (2002) and Baker (2006), the research aims to identify and analyse how lexical patterns construct various dimensions of authenticity such as sensory, procedural, historical, and locality aspects. This descriptive qualitative research employs a corpus assisted method, using Sketch Engine to collect and analyse 53 captions drawn from two Batak Toba culinary Instagram accounts. The findings reveal that the prominent collocational patterns produce six authenticity dimensions namely sensory, procedural, material, historical, locality, and social functioning to frame Batak cuisine as culturally rooted, traditionally sustained, and socially meaningful. Through Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis, the study further shows that these lexical constructions undergo recontextualization which transforms everyday culinary elements into symbolic markers of heritage and identity. Ultimately, the results demonstrate how digital food discourse linguistically shapes and perpetuates Batak Toba cultural values in contemporary online spaces.
