COMMUNICATIVE FUNCTIONS AND DELIVERANCE STRATEGIES OF WANGSALAN IN JAVANESE SONG LYRICS


I Dewa Putu Wijana
Faculty of Cultural Sciences Gadjah Mada University

Abstract

This study deals with wangsalan found in Javanese song lyrics with attention focus on their communicative functions and deliverance strategies. By using very small amount of data of Javanese songs exploiting wangsalan, it is found that this traditional formula are mainly functioned to convey directive, expressive, and representative functions, and seems not specifically be used to express commisive, question, and let alone declaration functions. Declarative functions are exploited to convey command, advice, and prohibition. There are various strategies used by the speakers in exploiting wangsalan. Those are implicit, direct, indirect, literal, and expressed strategies. Explicit, non-literal, and implied strategies are rarely used because they will unease the addressee comprehend the intention formula.
Key terms: wangsalan, traditional formula, communicative function, and deliverance strategy
