Abstract

This article aims at finding out how flora’s lexicons associated with Karonese traditional food are maintained and shifted. A qualitative research design is used to explore the phenomena of such social issues. The data were flora’s lexicons associated with Karonese traditional food in seven villages (i.e. Lau Kambing, Turangi, Penungkiren, Buluh Pering, Lau Dayang, Gunung Merlawan, and Seribu Jadi) at Salapian Sub-District North Sumatra Indonesia. The data were obtained from 210 informants (30 persons from each of the villages). The informants were classified into six groups to differentiate between generations. The data were collected using three techniques including (i) observation, (ii) interview, and (iii) document. The data were analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles, Huberman and Saldana (2014: 31-33). The findings of this research are: (i) two out of three kinds of Karonese traditional foods were no longer recognized by people in these seven villages, and most of the flora’s lexicons associated with those foods were shifted. Meanwhile, the other kind of food is still recognized leading to the maintenance of flora’s lexicons associated with it; and (ii) the factors motivating language maintenance and language shift of flora’s lexicons in Karonese traditional food are (a) whether those lexicons refer to staple food of the local people, and (b) whether the reference of those lexicons is also used in making other kinds of food.
