<![CDATA[This study used a descriptive qualitative method with the researcher as the main instrument and interviews as the data collection technique. The results of the study showed that the younger generation had a positive perception of the use of pantun in traditional ceremonies. This perception is reflected in two main findings, namely (a) pantun as a cultural identity, (b) a medium of traditional communication, and (c) pantun as a source of moral and educational values.

There are two main phenomena, namely language maintenance and language shift, which influence the level of understanding and involvement of the younger generation.]]>
