This study aims to describe the linguistic forms, cultural meanings, and the Tayuban traditional ceremony as a reflection of the cultural identity of the people of Ngoreyan Hamlet, Ngandong Village, Gantiwarno District, Klaten Regency. This research was motivated by the declining public understanding, particularly among the younger generation, of the terms used in the Tayuban traditional ceremony. Therefore, documentation and analysis of these terms through an ethnolinguistic approach are necessary to preserve the local cultural heritage.
This study employed a qualitative descriptive method with an ethnolinguistic approach. The research data consisted of terms used in the Tayuban traditional ceremony, collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed by identifying the linguistic forms based on their constituent elements, interpreting the cultural meanings of each term, and describing the relationship between language and culture within the community of Ngoreyan Hamlet.
The findings reveal that the linguistic forms of the terms used in the Tayuban traditional ceremony consist of monomorphemic terms, polymorphemic terms, and compound-word terms. These terms are used to designate various elements of the ceremony, including ritual equipment, offerings, ceremony participants, ceremonial processions, and supporting facilities. The cultural meanings embedded in these terms reflect religious values, gratitude, respect for ancestors, mutual cooperation, the preservation of Javanese arts and culture, and the local knowledge of the community. Furthermore, the Tayuban traditional ceremony serves as a reflection of the cultural identity of the people of Ngoreyan Hamlet, as it demonstrates the close relationship between language, culture, and social life. Thus, the terms used in the Tayuban traditional ceremony function not only as linguistic elements but also as representations of the community's knowledge system, cultural values, and cultural identity that should be documented and preserved.
