Abstract

Communities who live in this world have their own norm and culture to show their identity which makes them different to others. One of the communities which still use original culture in Indonesia is Baduy Dalam Community who lives in Banten, Indonesia. This research is conducted in order to know the deep information about the greeting language which is used by them. Method which is applied in this study is descriptive qualitative by using sociolinguistics approach. The results showed that (1) the usual greeting used as ‘salam’ for BDC has the function to show familiarity and politeness among other. Salam that is used for greeting BDC who have close relationship like Tabe’ pun ka girang? which means excuse in language use or by saying ‘Maap bae’ ka Bapa’? for greeting the people outside BDC; (2) greetings based on kinship relationships using the term kinship, for example ayah, ambu, amang; and the non-kinship greetings used are mang, pak, teteh. The finding of this study gives the implication about the using of politeness language especially on greeting used by BDC which has different ways with other society because BDC has its own norms and cultures that should be obeyed by them.
