The Sustainability of an Agricultural Lexicon in Kenagarian Muaro Paneh: An Ecolinguistics Study

Abstract

The agricultural language of the Kenagarian Muaro Paneh still survives to this day in certain lexicons. This is due to the idiology and philosophy of the society. This study aims to provide a description of the conservation of agricultural lexicons in the context of the culture of the agricultural community in Kenagarian Muaro Paneh, Solok district, Western Sumatra. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection is using Simak Libat Cakap method. The data was collected by conducting observations and interviews with informants aged 70 and over who are considered to be the masters of agricultural culture in the Kenagarian Muaro Paneh and the younger generation aged 40 and 50. The results of the research show that there are some lexicons that are still used by the people of Kenagarian Muaro Paneh, but there are also some lexicons that are no longer used by people of the Kenagarian Muaro Paneh and there is a new lexicon that has emerged as a result of the advances of the times and technology. The lexical intolerance is caused by several factors, namely ecological, economic, technological and social.
