Abstract

In the Acehnese community, childbirth holds sacred significance. This sacredness is reflected in specific rituals to introduce a newborn to the world. These rituals are seen as both a continuation of the Prophet Muhammad's actions and a way to maintain communication and exchange across generations. The rituals not only honor the birthing process but also provide physical and mental support to the mother after childbirth. This study focuses on the specific ritual of bathing a newborn baby, practised in the village of Blangporoh, South Aceh. Using interviews and field observations, the study reveals that this ritual continues to serve as a symbolic gesture of welcoming and integrating the baby into society. Additionally, the tradition of animal sacrifice (Akikah) often accompanies the bathing ritual. The sacrifice (akikah) for "redeeming" the child for Allah was performed "as one would redeem mortgaged land" after the ritual bathing. The guardians are in the red to Allah for a child, and this penance counterbalanced that obligation. Additionally, it established a bond between the child's parents. The author emphasizes the crucial role both rituals play in introducing the baby to the community's socio-cultural values from the very beginning of life.

Abstract

This study investigates the pragmatic dimensions of teacher talk in an Indonesian EFL classroom at MAS Ponpes Darul Qur'an, a pesantren-based Islamic senior high school. Focusing on a complete lesson on descriptive text, the study examines two interrelated dimensions: (1) the types of speech acts performed by the teacher, analyzed through Austin's (1962) tripartite framework and Searle's (1969, 1979) illocutionary taxonomy; and (2) the teacher's questioning strategies, analyzed through Long and Sato's (1983) display–referential–echoic questioning framework. Data were collected via non-participant classroom observation and video recording, and analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña's (2014) interactive qualitative model. Findings reveal that expositives and exercitives dominate the illocutionary repertoire, behabitives are strategically placed at affectively critical moments, and referential questions appear at a notably higher proportion than comparable studies report—attributable to the teacher's use of culturally resonant topics. Critically, the most acquisitionally significant moments arose from the convergence of referential questioning, echoic follow-up, and affective speech acts, constituting a cross-framework synergy uniquely situated within the pesantren classroom context
