Abstract

Purpose: This research was conducted to analyze the communicative function of language and the meaning of kulkul in Balinese society.


Research methods: Data were collected using interview and observation methods with the help of note-taking techniques, then analyzed using descriptive-qualitative methods. This study uses the Cultural Linguistic Theory which is synergized with the Theory of Language Functions to analyze the function of kulkul and the Social Semiotics Theory to analyze the meaning of kulkul.


Results and discussion: Kulkul in Balinese society has a communicative function of language: informational, directive, aesthetic, and phatic. Based on this function, kulkul implies odalan (religious ceremony at the temple), kepancabhayan (crush), baya pati (rage), sangkepan/peparuman (meeting) or ngayah (mutual cooperation), and kelayusekaran (death of residents). Kulkul also has a sacred function, namely as a sign of a religious ceremony at the temple.


Implication: As a marker of Balinese culture (local wisdom), kulkul is a linguistic phenomenon, especially sign language which has a unique function and meaning.

Keywords
