Abstract

This study discusses the social functions of Ambonese Malay pantun in the community of Negeri Haruku, Central Maluku Regency. Pantun as an oral tradition is not merely a form of verbal expression but also serves as a medium for transmitting cultural values, social ethics, and collective identity within the community. This study aims to describe the social functions of Ambonese Malay pantun in the social and cultural life of the Haruku community. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method with an ethnographic approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and recording of oral traditions from local informants. The results show that Ambonese Malay pantun in Negeri Haruku functions as entertainment, educational media, social control, communication tool, and cultural preservation medium. Pantun is used in traditional ceremonies, social interactions, and community gatherings as a means of conveying advice, satire, and moral teachings. The study also reveals that pantun reflects the local wisdom and collective values of the Haruku community. Therefore, preserving pantun as an oral tradition is essential to maintain cultural identity and support intergenerational transmission of local knowledge.

Abstract

Figures of speech or language styles represent figurative expressions employed by authors as a creative medium to convey emotional nuances and intrinsic thoughts. This research aims to analyze and describe the implementation of personification and depersonification figures of speech in the poetry Hati yang Kemarin Tertawa by Theoresia Rumthe and Weslly Johannes, which is compiled in the poetry anthology Percakapan Paling Panjang Perihal Pulang Pergi (2021). Adopting a qualitative descriptive methodology, the data collection techniques utilized in this study comprised close reading and systematic note-taking techniques to categorize textual figures of speech. The empirical findings indicate a total of 9 occurrences, consisting of 5 instances of personification figures of speech and 4 instances of depersonification figures of speech. These results demonstrate that Hati yang Kemarin Tertawa serves as an integral poetry in the collaboration of Theoresia Rumthe & Weslly Johannes that quite intensively incorporates both personification and depersonification devices to establish vivid poetic imagery and emotional depth. Consequently, this study contributes valuable stylistic insights into the rhetorical dynamics of contemporary Indonesian poetry.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the types and meanings of folk songs in the Hadrat Tapur tradition in Tengah-Tengah Village, Salahutu District, Central Maluku Regency. The Hadrat Tapur tradition is an oral tradition performed during the Eid al-Fitr celebration, accompanied by rebana drumming and songs performed in Arabic and the Hitu language in the Tengah-Tengah dialect. Folklore theory was employed to examine the types of folk songs, while semantic theory was used to analyze their meanings. This study employed a qualitative approach focusing on the types and meanings of folk songs in the Hadrat Tapur tradition. Data were collected through observation, interviews, note-taking, audio recording, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted in three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing (verification). The findings indicate that the folk songs comprise two types: functional folk songs and lyrical folk songs. The functional type is represented by the Ucapan Salam (Greeting) song, whereas the lyrical type includes songs of praise to God, surrender to God, and supplication for guidance to do good deeds.
