UNGKAPAN BAHASA YANG BERMAKNA BUDAYA DALAM SISTEM BERCOCOK TANAM PADI SUB-ETNIK TONTEMBOAN
Abstract: From regional and
its user point of view, Tontemboan language is the largest among the other
vernacular languages in Minahasa. In practice, as the other vernacular
languages, it is less frequently used, due to the progress of the community and
of the propagation of Melayu Manado. The
younger generation less and less speaks the language using Bahasa Indonesia for
daily communication.
Many expression denoting cultural value are found in the language. This
cultural value may disappear when the language is not practiced anymore. One
way to preserve this cultural value is by doing this kind of research.
The outcomes of the research are
as the following: there are 6 step in the rice cultivation, i.e. (1) opening
the land, (2) selecting the seed, (3) planting the seedling, (4) nursing the
plant, (5) to crop, (6) making use of the crop.There are 40 expressions
denoting cultural meaning which influence the way of thinking, i.e.
appreciating time, working hard, helping each other, working together.
The conclusion of the research is that through systematic steps, the
Tontemboan farmers systematically work step by step, taking care of the land
and plant, and have a plan to make use of their crop, meaning having a
futurological view.
