Abstract

Indonesia has many tribes and produces many traditions. Tradition is a reflection of certain community cultures. One of them is the Mengetong tradition at the wedding ceremony of the Minang Pariaman community in Medan. This research is initiated by the distinction of this tradition which causes controversy. As a brief overview, Mengetong is when the amount of money given to the bride and groom is read aloud during the wedding reception. The initial perception of this research is to present an opinion based on empirical evidence that this tradition has a positive value rather than a negative one. This research applies the performance theory and local wisdom value theory. The data are in the form of text, and co-text taken from the video recordings of the Mengetong activity, supporting documents, and an interview with a customary holder. The results show that Mengetong is included in five elements of performance; 1) specific schedule, 2) specific instruments, 3) non-profitable, 4) having certain rules, and 5) being carried out in a specific location. This result indicated that Mengetong is indeed a tradition performed at a specific time, using specific instruments/tools, not a profit-oriented activity, applying specific rules in action and done by certain tribes. Moreover, local wisdom identifies this tradition as a social value in cooperation and reciprocity activity. This result also portrays the togetherness (gotong-royong) characteristic of Indonesian people. In the end, this study claimed that Mengetong in the Pariaman Wedding ceremony is meant to help each other when a family conduct a wedding ceremony.

Abstract

The Tunjung language in Barong Tongkok District, West Kutai holds a wealth of knowledge and culture of its people. However, during the development, the vitality of Tunjung language has decreased and held an endangered status. Therefore, it needs revitalization efforts, one of the them is through local art of RIJOQ, that is Tunjung language folk song. The purpose of this research is to describe the form of RIJOQ and the strategy of revitalizing the Tunjung language through RIJOQ. Data collection was carried out by interview and literature study methods. Interviews were conducted by structured interviews with respondents based on prepared guidelines. The literature study was carried out using note-taking techniques in the form of RIJOQ lyrics data from documentation in the form of books and social media. The data analysis used a descriptive method with an anthropolinguistic approach. The findings from the results of this study are that the form of poetry and contents of RIJOQ has shifted from traditional to modern; there are extensions and additions to themes, such as romance, affairs, household; using everyday words that are easy to understand; with simpler structure. These findings serve as a reference for the revitalization process of the Tunjung language. The values contained in RIJOQ include belief, wise advice, mutual respect, mutual forgiveness, honesty, patience, and responsibility. The revitalization strategy is to provide space for peRIJOQ or singer of RIJOQ, especially the younger generation, by holding performances in traditional and official events, celebration by holding competitions regularly; provide guidance to RIJOQ groups in order to preserve the Tunjung culture and language; social control over the development of RIJOQ; conduct studies on RIJOQ, and popularize RIJOQ through media, such as radio, television, cd, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, dan Google Play. Thus, the existence of RIJOQ not only provides a special attraction for the younger generation but also to preserve the Tunjung language.

Abstract

The title of this article is "The Role of Multilingualism in the Decline of the Teochew Dialect in Medan." The present study is grounded on the theoretical framework of Sociolinguistics, which encompasses the examination of language characteristics, variations, and functions, as well as the analysis of language usage within social interactions. The objective of this study is to provide an overview of the social context of the Teochew community in Medan, with a specific focus on the Teochew dialect. The employed research methodology is qualitative in nature. The terms "data collection method" and "technique used" pertain to the approach employed for gathering information, as well as the skillful manner in which it is recorded and documented. The Chinese population residing in Medan is recognised for their multilingual abilities, as they are proficient in speaking multiple languages. These languages include Bahasa Indonesia, which serves as the national language of Indonesia; Hokkien, a dialect commonly used for communication in Medan; their respective mother tongues, employed for intrafamilial and intraethnic interactions (Teochew, Hakka, Cantonese, Hailufeng, Hokchiu, Henghua, and Hainan); Mandarin, spoken by a subset of the Chinese community; and English, acquired as a global language of instruction. As a result of their multilingualism, individuals of Chinese descent, particularly those from the Teochew community, have a tendency to incorporate elements of their native language into their everyday speech. Consequently, a significant proportion of individuals progressively lose proficiency in and cease to utilise their native language over the 4.0 period, leading to the endangerment of the Teochew Chinese dialect in Medan.
