Abstract

This study delves into the complex relationship between natural and cultural elements in shaping the meanings of village names in Banyumas Regency. By using a qualitative approach that involves archival research and interviews with local residents, the research uncovers how these elements work together to maintain the region’s ecological and cultural identity. Through the analysis of the region's toponymy, the study identifies two main factors influencing village names: physical and non-physical nature. The physical nature includes geographical features such as hydrology, morphology, and biodiversity, while the non-physical nature encompasses intangible factors like climate and cultural heritage. The findings reveal that village names often mirror the local environment, historical events, and cultural stories, offering valuable insights into the community’s bond with their natural surroundings. This research adds to the understanding of how place names act as a repository of cultural and ecological knowledge, highlighting the significance of safeguarding the intangible heritage embedded within the toponymy of Banyumas Regency.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the phonological development of Banyumasan Javanese in children aged 6–8 years through exposure to the traditional performance Wayang Bebek Banyumas. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method with a psycholinguistic approach. The subjects were 5 first-grade students of SD Muhammadiyah Cipete. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and audio-video recordings of children’s pronunciations of Banyumasan Javanese vocabulary before and after watching the Wayang Bebek Banyumas performance entitled Balapan Renang. The data were analyzed using an interactive analysis model by comparing phonetic transcriptions across the two conditions. The results show a clear improvement in children’s phonological abilities after the performance, indicated by increased accuracy and consistency in pronunciation, particularly in producing Banyumasan-specific sounds such as vowels, nasal consonants, and glottal stops. Children also demonstrated better imitation of onomatopoeic sounds relevant to the cultural context. These findings suggest that Wayang Bebek Banyumas serves as an effective linguistic stimulus that supports children’s phonological development while contributing to the preservation of Banyumasan Javanese as a regional language.
