Abstract

This study describes the performance of text, co-texts and context in the Angkola people's traditional wedding ceremonies. The marsiurupan tradition is an oral tradition carried out by the Angkola community. It consists of joyful events (siriaon) and also sorrowful events (siluluton). Marsiurupan in siriaon events, such as the Angkola community's wedding ceremonies, starts from marpege-pege, pajongjong los, markuras, mamasu dahanon, sibodak mangkubak, mardangdang, manggule and manungkus indahan. This research method is descriptive and qualitative. It seeks to obtain information needed from informants using observations and in-depth interview techniques. The results showed that the forms of marsiurupan's traditional performance are marpege-pege, pajongjong los, markuras, mamasu dahanon, mangkubak sibodak, mardangdang, manggule and manungkus indahan. In marsiurupan, text in the form of a hobar (namely marpege-pege), consists of macro structures (themes), superstructures, and microstructures. Then a co-text consists of paralinguistic and material elements. Furthermore, the context of the marsiurupan tradition is social context, situational context, cultural context and ideological context. © 2019, Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
