STRUKTUR, FUNGSI, DAN NILAI NYANYIAN RAKYAT KAILI

Abstract

This study aims to describe structures, functions, and values in Kaili folksongs
in Central Sulawesi Province. It was conducted in four regencies/cities of Donggala,
Sigi Biromaru, Parigi-Mautong, and Palu. The data were collected through recording,
interviews, and document study. They were analyzed by means of Ricouere's hermeneutic
theory approach supported by cultural discourse theory, critical discourse analysis,
content analysis, theory of folksong functions, and componential theory of values. The
findings are as follows. First, the structures of Kaili folksongs comprise macrostructure,
superstructure, and microstructure representing Kaili people's cultural ideology. Second,
Kaili folksongs have ritual, social, educational, communicative and informative, and
entertaining functions. Third, values in Kaili folksongs are religious, philosophical, ethical,
and esthetic values.
