Abstract

Oral literature in Indigenous communities’ functions as a symbolic medium that records and transmits a collective worldview. One of its forms is pameo, a concise expression that affirms values and norms within social life. Among the Dayak Keninjal community, pameo serves not only as motivational slogans but also as representations of moral principles and perspectives on social and environmental relations. This study aims to uncover the collective worldview embedded in Dayak Keninjal pameo. Unlike previous proverb studies, this research positions pameo as a representation of a collective worldview through a cultural semantic approach. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method, with data consisting of ten pameo collected through interviews and field documentation in January 2026. The analysis was conducted through the identification of lexical meanings and cultural semantic interpretation. The findings indicate that Dayak Keninjal pameo reflect five interconnected life orientations: togetherness, resilience, creativity, steadfast responsibility, and brotherhood and deliberation, with action as the core of meaningful life. These findings contribute to the theoretical and empirical enrichment of oral literature and cultural semantics studies by reinforcing the concept of worldview grounded in local wisdom.

Abstract

Code-switching studies have generally focused on socio-pragmatic aspects, leaving the cognitive dimension in bilingual speakers’ language decision-making relatively underexplored. In fact, language switching occurs through processes that interactively involve social, linguistic, and cognitive factors. To address this gap, this phenomenological qualitative study involved three active bilingual participants with backgrounds in Indonesian, English, Italian, Japanese, and Tagalog at Lembaga Bina Budaya Pontianak. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation and were subsequently analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The findings indicate that executive control, working memory, and metacognitive awareness play significant roles in determining the timing and form of code-switching. Participants employed tag switching, inter-sentential switching, and intra-sentential switching adaptively in accordance with social context and communicative objectives, thereby enhancing semantic precision, maintaining social relations, and managing interactional nuances. Emotional factors and personal experiences also influenced language preferences. Theoretically, this study underscores the importance of a cognitive-phenomenological perspective in bilingualism research. Practically, these findings are relevant to the development of language instruction and intercultural communication. Thus, bilingualism may be understood as a communicative practice that involves the management of cognitive processes in determining language choice.

Abstract

This study examines the cultural and religious values embedded in hantaran pantun recited during the Malay wedding gift-giving procession in Pontianak, Sambas, and Melawi, West Kalimantan. Although pantun plays a central role in Malay ceremonial life, limited studies integrate cultural semantics and metaphor analysis to explain how these verses transmit worldview and moral norms in performative contexts. A total of 46 pantun was collected through participant observation, interviews, and audio recordings, from which six were selected for in-depth analysis based on representativeness and symbolic density. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the study applies cultural semantic analysis and metaphorical examination of both sampiran and isi lines to interpret meanings from emic and etic perspectives. The findings identify six core admonitory values: respect for tradition, honor and humility, remembrance of Allah, honesty, friendliness, and social harmony. These values construct a relational worldview that emphasizes ethical responsibility toward self and community. The study contributes by integrating cultural semantics with metaphor analysis in oral tradition research and supports cultural preservation and value-based education in Malay society.

Abstract

The indigenous communities, including the Dayak Kanayatn, face significant challenges in preserving their language and culture amidst rapid modernization. The traditional Dayak Kanayatn songs are crucial in preserving their culture, as the lyrics contain valuable vocabulary, history, myths, and moral lessons. This study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing Charles Sanders Peirce's cultural semiotics theory to analyze the signs, referents, and interpretants within the lyrics of nine Dayak Kanayatn songs to uncover their cultural values. The analytical methods employed include transcription of the lyrics, structural and semantic analysis of sentences, identification of cultural symbols, and evaluation of the objects referenced in the lyrics. The meanings derived from the analysis are examined to understand cultural and environmental resilience, and conclusions are drawn based on these findings. The traditional Dayak Kanayatn songs reflect cultural symbols that depict agrarian life, harmony with nature, skills, hard work, well-being, and gratitude. Additionally, these songs also reflect social solidarity, community identity, as well as the life cycle and belief in the universe.
