Abstract

This study aims to make an inventory of linguistic data used for labelling / marking of medicinal plants and to describe the functional classification of these medicinal plants in accordance with the EMIC view. In addition, it is to explain the cultural views of speakers of the Sasak language (indigenous Sade community) about medicinal plants as reflected in the language used to label these medicinal plants. Data collection was conducted in Sade village, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia by using interview and observation. The results of this study show that the hundreds of lexicons used to mark traditional medicinal plants in the indigenous Sade community are summarized in four functional categories, namely inên têtumpu ‘parent drug’, owat beleq ‘large medicine’, tumpu ‘traditional medicine’ and siyup ‘mixed medicinal plants’. Meanwhile, based on cultural point of view, inen têtumpu/owat or parent drug and tumpu khusus ‘ specific medicinal plants’ are classified as a place for supernatural being, and also as a point of view of the sanitation (periri-persih paer panoq, gubuk gempang), and bale langgaq ‘ maintaining the house and environtment surrounding’ which related to ereat ‘ treatment’ through têmoeq gubuk ‘ serving ‘ and rowah/sêlamêt gubuk ‘ traditional ceremony in order to make the environment safe’.
