Abstract
This study is motivated by the importance of preserving living oral traditions within the community, one of which is the Syair Ngasuh Budak, sung during the aqiqah procession in Durian Luncuk Village. This poem embodies the cultural, religious, and worldview values of the local community. An analysis of the lexicon found in this poem is essential to uncover the relationship between language and the culture of the Durian Luncuk community. The objective of this study is to describe the form and meaning of the lexicon used in the Syair Ngasuh Budak of the aqiqah procession and to explain the cultural functions contained within it from an ethnolinguistic perspective. This study employs a qualitative method with an anthropological approach. Research data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation of native speakers and practitioners of the aqiqah tradition in Durian Luncuk. Data analysis involved identifying, classifying, and interpreting the lexical elements in the poem based on the cultural context of the community that practices it. The lexical classification yielded, among other things: (1) tools used in the ceremony and the poem; (2) cakes that must be present during the ceremony; and (3) the use of local plants incorporated into the Syair Ngasuh Budak recited during the aqiqah ceremony in Durian Luncuk.
