Acehnese Peunajoh of Timphan: A Study of Ecolexical Taxonomy
Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
The richness of lexicos in a language becomes the diversity of natural, social, and cultural representation of a society. Lexicons that are related to nature are known as the ecolexicons, such as timphan which is one of the Acehnese peunajohs and very popular among the local people. Its diversity of species is sufficient to represent and reflect the Acehnese nature, language, and social culture although some people only know a small number of types of timphan. The paper aims to identify the taxonomy of lexicons and ecolexicons in peunajoh timphan and uses descriptive and qualitative approach. The data was taken from oral interview, observation, and written sources and the interview was video-recorded and involved several informants. The results showed that the peunajoh timphan consisted of local biotic, abiotic, flora, and fauna ecolexicons. Since peunajoh timphan has religious, social and economic values, the Acehnese speakers’ knowledge in recognizing types of timphan varied among age groups.
