Abstract

This study explores the tradition of “tolak balak” (warding off bad luck) by “juru ladi” (female traditional leaders) in Javanese traditional wedding ceremonies in one village in Central Java, Indonesia, through an ethnolinguistic approach. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through observation and interviews. Data analysis was conducted to identify the form and meaning of linguistic units and local wisdom. This research aims to provide a deeper understanding of the richness of local culture and give new insights into ethnolinguistics. The study findings reveal various forms and meanings of linguistic units that illustrate the community's cultural wealth and local wisdom, such as words, phrases, and discourse. Words include multiple terms and objects used in ceremonies, such as offerings, traditional tools, ritual feasts, and food. In addition, phrases are used in the "tolak balak" process, such as the offerings' names and attributes. These discourses contain spiritual and mystical values that are believed by the local community as part of local wisdom. Local wisdom in the form of taboos is also found in the tolak balak tradition. The community believes in maintaining the sanctity and smoothness of the wedding ceremony. This study's contribution to ethnolinguistics is to enrich the understanding of the interaction between language and culture in a local context. Thus, it can provide new insights into how traditional practices and language are interconnected in forming and preserving local wisdom.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital media has encouraged the emergence of content creators who utilize language variation as a communication strategy, including the uses of regional languages. This study aims to describe the forms and meanings of Javanese language registers used in the digital content of Ling Ling Lieanti, a content  creator from Semarang known for her distintive Semarangan Chinese-Javanese accent. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a sociolinguistic approach. The data consisted of utterances containing Javanese registers obtained from Ling Ling Lieanti's content uploaded on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok from June 2024 to May 2025. Data were collected through observation, listening, transcription, and note taking techniques, then analyzed using pragmatic and referential equivalent methods including data transcription, identification of lingual units, data classification, analysis of scope of use, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the Javanese registers in Ling Ling Lieanti's content are categorized into linguistics forms consisting of single word forms and complex forms, including affixation, reduplication, compounding, and abbreviation. In terms of usage scope, the registers are divided into restricted and open registers.  Furthermore, the meanings identified include lexical, contextual, social, and cultural meanings. The study demonstrates that Javanese language registers function not only as communication tools but also as markers of local identity, humor, social relationship, and cultural representation in digital media.
