Ethnography of Communication Analysis
Analysis of the ethnography of communication; S.P.E.A.K.I.N.G by Dell Hymes through the tradition in Minahasa called “Maengket dance.”
As what we can learn from the ethnography of communication, more specific in the analysis or theory that was proposed by Dell Hymes called SPEAKING as the components of speech, Dell Hymes proposed that this model should provide the basis for an ethnography of speaking (sometimes called an ethnography of communication), which is in approach to the description of speech events that calls for an analysis of each of relevant factors.
SPEAKING as the components of speech is an acronym of: 1. S stands from “setting or scene”
According to Hymes, setting refers to the time and place of the tradition, while setting refers to the abstract setting of the tradition.
In Maengket dance, we can see that the setting of this tradition is in “harvest time.” According to the tradition, it is actually divided into three acts, the first called Maengket Makamberu, where we can find the setting of the tradition is in harvest time because in this scene the paddy cultivation takes a long time so that when the harvest time arrives, the farmers are happy and give thanks through song and dance, as what we can find in the first act of the Maengket dance. In this Maengket dance, we can also find out that the scene of this tradition is in “a new house,” what I meant is that a house that is just built by the people who work together to build the house and then the owner of the house will invite the people to come to his/her new house as his/her gratitude and this is called “rumambak”. This scene can be found in the act two called Maengket Rumamba. There’s also act three, it is called Maengket Lelaya’an, but there’s no setting or scene in this act. If we follow the detail of this tradition, the setting and scene are only in harvest time and in a time where there’s a new house that is built by the people. 2. P stands from “participants”
