Abstract

Kidung Sedekah Gunung is a part of tradition held by a community in the southern slope of Merapi. Although the tradition is held annually, little is known about the functions of this song. This study thus aims to describe the social-transcendental function of the Kidung Sedekah Gunung and its optimization efforts through the realm of education. This research employed qualitative approach and is within an anthropolinguistic perspective. Using an ethnographic method, this research collected data from the linguistic aspects of the kidung and the linguistic aspects of the traditional actors of the community. The results showed that the social function of the kidung is as a medium to encourage and establish cooperation among community members. Meanwhile, the transcendental function is to give thanks to God, pray, and ask for forgiveness. Optimizing social-transcendental functions can be done through the realm of education by integrating them in anthropolinguistic learning. The results of this study are expected to be useful in the field of anthropolinguistic studies and the field of education.
