Abstract

Local beliefs in the myths surrounding Lake Kuranding are relevant to the lake's existence. This study aims to uncover the ecological values ​​embedded in the Lake Kuranding folktale and their implications for environmental sustainability. This study uses an ecocritical approach, focusing on the social phenomena of the Tanjung Beringin Village community, South Bengkulu, regarding the ecological implications of the Lake Kuranding folktale. The ecological dimension of local narratives tends to be underexplored, even though these narratives are related to the construction of awareness in environmental preservation. This research is a major step towards understanding how the local narrative of the Lake Kuranding folktale represents environmental preservation. Data sources come from literature, interviews, and observations. The results indicate that the Lake Kuranding folktale contains ecological values, namely: (1) self-sufficiency and self-awareness, (2) knowledge of land allocation, and (3) preservation of water and soil sources. The implications of these three ecological values ​​provide numerous benefits, such as the preservation of the lake ecosystem and water sources for two sub-districts in South Bengkulu, an abundance of fish resources, and a foundation for food security for the people of South Bengkulu. The mythical aspects of the Kuranding Lake folklore have transformed into ecological values ​​that guide the community in preserving their natural environment. The existence of the Kuranding Lake folklore today is not only relevant to the oral folklore preservation practices of the Serawai ethnic group in South Bengkulu but also has implications for the lake's sustainability and plays a significant role in the social and economic aspects of the community in South Bengkulu.

Abstract

Tungguk Tembakau is a traditional ceremony marking the beginning of the tobacco harvest in Senden Village, Boyolali, as an expression of gratitude to God. Although it is carried out regularly, a deep understanding of its value and symbolic meaning has begun to fade among the community. This study aims to explore the cultural values and symbolic meanings of the Tungguk Tembakau tradition. Using qualitative methods, this study integrates James Spradley's ethnographic approach and Roland Barthes' semiotics. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with purposively selected informants (traditional leaders, village officials, farmers), and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through two systematic approaches: first, ethnographic analysis (domain, taxonomy, components, and cultural themes) to reveal value orientations; second, semiotic analysis through a two-stage system of signification (denotation and connotation/myth) to dissect ritual artifacts. Data validity was ensured through triangulation of sources and methods. The results of the study reveal four cultural value orientations: (1) The relationship between humans and God as an expression of gratitude; (2) The relationship between humans and nature, reflecting agricultural cosmology and ecological dependence; (3) Interpersonal relationships through mutual solidarity; and (4) The relationship between humans and time through respect for ancestors. Semiotically, each procession is a symbolic language. The picking of 16 tobacco leaves symbolizes obedience to the cosmic order, while the parade functions as a ritual to ward off evil spirits. Various forms of gunungan and tamping offerings connote prosperity, soil fertility, and collective hopes for a smooth seasonal transition. This study concludes that Tungguk Tembakau is a complex symbolic system that strengthens cultural identity and maintains harmony between spirituality and the social order of agrarian communities.

Abstract

Syntactic competence is foundational to children’s literacy development; however, empirical research on how elementary learners construct sentences in response to specific interrogative prompts remains limited in Indonesian linguistic scholarship. Although prior studies have normatively described canonical sentence patterns or assessed general syntactic complexity, few have investigated the structural variations elicited by different question words. This study describes and analyzes the syntactic variations produced by fourth-grade students in response to five Indonesian interrogatives (where, how, who, why, what) and maps these responses onto the six canonical sentence patterns of Indonesian. Using a qualitative descriptive design and content analysis, the study examined students’ written responses to a narrative reading comprehension task. Each answer was parsed for syntactic function and evaluated against the framework of Standard Indonesian Grammar. Trustworthiness was ensured through thick description and inter-analyst triangulation. The findings reveal that each interrogative elicits a distinct range of syntactic realizations: full, elliptical, and compound with why producing the most elaborate, multi-clausal constructions. All observed variations align systematically with the six canonical patterns, indicating that ellipsis functions as a pragmatically motivated strategy rather than a syntactic deficiency. This study enriches the descriptive understanding of Indonesian child syntax and provides a diagnostic tool for elementary language instruction.
