PENGGUNAAN HIPONIMI DALAM CERITA RAKYAT “SANGKURIANG” PADA CHANNEL YOUTUBE “DONGENG KITA”

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the use of hyponymy in the “Sangkuriang” folklore published on the YouTube channel “Dongeng Kita.” Hyponymy is a lexical relationship in which a word (hyponym) is a specific instance of a more general category (hypernym). This research focuses on identifying and analyzing the forms of hyponymy found in the folktale “Sangkuriang,” using data in the form of video transcripts from the channel. The data collection method was conducted through observation and non-participatory techniques, which allowed the researcher to carefully collect and transcribe the videos. After the collection and analysis process, it was found that there were 12 hyponyms in the noun or noun word class category that appeared in the story. The findings provide insight into how hyponymy is used to enrich the narrative as well as characterization in the folktale “Sangkuriang,” while highlighting the importance of linguistic elements in conveying the meaning and theme of the story. This research is expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of language use in the context of local culture through digital media.
