CHAPTER II REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2.1. Previous Studies
There are some previous research which are used as the primary references in this study. They are two theses and one research article. These studies are the
following: The first is a thesis
entitled “Peribahasa Banjar: Kajian Bentuk, Fungsi, Makna, dan Nilai
” by Tajuddin Noor Ganie 2005. This research identifies the characteristics of proverb in terms of forms, functions, meanings, and values. The
result of this study shows that Banjarese proverb has two forms: poem and sentences. This study also points out that there are four functions of Banjarese
proverb: 1 educational media, 2 law reference, 3 cultural symbol, and 4 media for joke. The researcher of this study also finds out the meaning
characteristics of Banjarese proverb. The last result of this study is the values of proverb: 1 holiness, 2 goodness, 3 truth, and 4 beauty.
This research is different from my research because mine concerns with revealing wisdom values within the Banjarese proverb, while the research by
Ganie only concerns with the identification of the surface form, meaning, and function of the Banjarese proverb. Another difference is the approach used in
analysing the proverb; I use critical linguistics while Ganie ’s uses poetic and
literary approach.

Second, a thesis entitled “Nilai Pendidikan Dalam Peribahasa Banjar” by
H. Abdullah 2011. This research is aimed to find the educational values in the Banjarese proverb which are manifested in three forms of relations: 1 the pattern
of positive relationship, 2 the pattern of negative relationship, and 3 the pattern of neutral relationship. The result of the study shows that the educational values of
Banjarese proverb consisted of: 1 religious educational values, 2 moral and character educational values, 3 social educational values.
The differences between this research by H. Abdullah and my research are in the approach and the objective of the study. As I state above, my research uses
critical linguistics as the approach in fulfilling the objective whereas this research by H. Abdullah uses text analysis approach.
Third, a research article entitled “Menggali Kearifan Lokal Masyarakat
Banjar Dalam Ungkapan dan Peribahasa” by Tim Peneliti Balai Bahasa
Kalimantan Selatan 2005 which is intended to investigate structures and local wisdom of idioms and proverb in Bahasa Banjar. The difference of the research
by Tim Balai Bahasa Kal – Sel and my research is that my research uses critical
linguistics as the basis of data analysis. However, their research does not state any method for analysing its data; it is only giving opinion on each proverb without
any linguistics base.
