| dc.description.abstract | Betutor is the process of communicating thoughts and feelings of language
speakers on a single hanging or a group of people as part of the repayment of
pantun determined during customary ceremonies by spokesperson telangke who
enjoys the rites (birth, marriage, and death) and other customary activities in
Malay Tamiang community. To analyze betutor, an anthropolinguistic approach is
used, which is interdisciplinary between language and the behavior (practice) of
language. This study used anthropolinguistic parameters of interconnection,
valuability, and sustainability. The study aimed to formulate patterns of betutor
performance, summarize local wisdom in betutor tradition, and create a pattern of
revitalization so that the speaker can be preserved and passed on to future
generations. The method used is the ethnographic method proposed by Spradley.
The type of data used in this research consists of observation data and interview
data. Primary data sources are the recordings of the speaker, the results of the
interview, and the observation results. The findings on the local wisdom of
betutor explain the meaning, function, value, and norms contained in it. The
results of the research show that the performance of betutor is a negotiating
performance consisting of persuasive and declarative expression. Performer
components can consist of pairs and single. The meaning of betutor in Malay
Tamiang community is the delivery of messages or family wishes related to the
marriage process that will be carried out by both families. The cultural values
contained in betutor are values of respect, appreciation, and responsibility. The
social norms contained in betutor follow the customary scheme, the law of the
sharia, and the laws of the government in force. The revitalization pattern consists
of two phases: long-term and short-term. For a short-term program, reactivate
betutor group so that it can exist and survive for long-term management. Longterm
programs will be documented in audio-video, archived in digital form, and
books. In addition, the training of betutor cultural workers or telangke is a step
toward inheriting the oral tradition from the young generation of Malay Tamiang
community. | en_US |
