Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 06
Abstract
One of the important things that must continue to be explored and maintained is the richness of the ecolexicon of a tradition, culture, and customs. This research is about the Ecolexicon Treasures of Poul Poul in Toba Batak languange of Toba dialect in Aek Kanopan. The purpose of this study is to explore the wealth of ecolexicon about Poul Poul and to explain the social praxis associated with each ecolexicon in Toba dialect of Toba Batak language in Aek Kanopan based on the study of Ecolinguistics. This research uses qualitative method. Data for the Poul Poul ecolexicon were obtained through interview techniques and recording techniques. Furthermore, the data analysis uses qualitative description, which means the data is collected, classified, and presented in a table. The results show that there are 14 ecolexicons of Poul Poul in Toba Batak language of the Toba dialect in Aek Kanopan; consisting of 8 nouns, 5 verbs, and 1 adjective. In this ecolexicon, there are 2 vocabularies that have shifted, namely grated coconut 'hurhuran' and poul poul shifted to the term 'topung mata'. This shift in the ecolexicon is influenced by two aspects of social praxis, namely the sociological dimension, which includes maintaining relationships and simplicity between members of the social community, and the ideological dimension, which includes beliefs. So, the collection of Poul Poul ecolecticons in the Toba Batak language of the Toba dialect in Aek Kanopan is very diverse. To ensure that these ecolecticons are not lost in the midst of the rapid development of the civilization of the Toba Batak community, they must be explored again and maintained. Thus, Toba Batak-speaking community living in Aek Kanopan must more actively participate in maintaining and preserving the environment and its ecolexicon so that the next generation not only hears the story but also sees its existence.
