A MULTIMODAL OF TRADITIONAL WEDDING CEREMONY
DYNAMICS OF DELI MALAY ETHNIC GROUP IN
MEDAN

ABSTRACT

This research applied a multimodal analysis of a cultural discourse in order to
find out the meaning created by verbal and visual components.The methodology
was designed as a data-based, observational-based, and qualitative descriptive
type of research. The data sources of this research were verbal and visual texts
taken from thirteen procedures of Deli Malay Traditional Wedding Ceremony
(DMTWC) and the results of the verbal analysis shows that there are clear
correspondence with narrative structures in visual analysis. The dominant findings
of ideational elements of language such as Material (process), Goal (participant)
and Location of place (circumstance) are shown in the actions conducted by the
participant in the visual elements, who or what is affected by the process and
where the actions take place. The results are seen in the narrative structure of four
images realized in non-projective transactional action and reaction realized into
bidirectional realization and eleven images are showing projective processes
realized by verbal processes. Concerning to the interpersonal meaning, the

DMTWC offers information, the mood choices are mostly concerned with
declaratives. This verbal findings are also affirmed by visual elements which
show the represented participants do not create relationship with the viewer, since
there is no eye contact established. As for social distance, the participants in the
image are mostly taken in the medium close shots as they are cut off at the waist
indicating a public distance where there are more than four people around. The
viewers look at the pictures from a frontal view point and the image is represented
from a medium angle indicating no power difference established, showing the
equality between the participants and the viewers. The textual findings indicate
that the topical theme distributes the highest number in which participant type
dominate the first position. It means that the speaker presents more information
about who or what is involved in the action as the point of departure.
From a compositional perspective, who or what is involved in the action is
captured in sharper focus. The size of participants focused is bigger in relation to
other participants and the landscape accompanying the image. It is placed in the
foreground or the center to be the most eye-catching or the most salient element in
the composition. In addition, the color of participants‟ dresses, objects focused are
contrast to other characters in the composition, such as yellow is the most
dominant colour presents in the objects, clothes of main characters whereas it
indicates happiness and glory expected by the wed-couple and the whole family.

MULTIMODAL DINAMIKA PERAYAAN PERKAWINAN ADAT
MASYARAKAT MELAYU MEDAN
ABSTRAK
Penelitian mengaplikasikan analisis multimodal terhadap wacana budaya untuk
menemukan makna yang diciptakan oleh komponen verbal dan visual yang
mengacu pada konsep analisis semiotik sosial. Metodologi penelitian ini
dirancang berdasarkan basis-data, basis-observasi dan penelitian deskriptifqualitatif. Sumber data penelitian ini adalah teks-teks verbal dan visual yang
diambil dari prosedur perayaan perkawinan adat Melayu Deli (DMTWC) yang
dilaksanakan dalam perkawinan Iqbal dan Lala. Hasil analisis transitivitas pada
tiga belas langkah perkawinan adat Melayu Deli menunjukkan ada keterkaitan
antara verbal dan visual yang diwakili dominasi proses: Material; partisipan: Gol,
sirkumstan: Lokasi / Tempat. Hasil verbal ini diperkuat oleh teks visual yang
memberi informasi kepada pembaca tentang aksi yang dilaksanakan, siapa dan
apa yang terafeksi oleh proses dan dimana aksi dilaksanakan. Hasil analisis visual
menunjukkan struktur narratif DMTWC terdiri dari empat image terealisasi dalam

aksi dan reaksi transaksional non-projectif yang terealisasi menjadi realisasi
bidireksional dan sebelas image merupakan proses projektif yang direalisasikan
oleh proses verbal. Berkenaan dengan makna interpersonal, teks DMTWC lebih
menawarkan informasi dengan pilihan Modus terbanyak adalah Deklaratif.
Temuan komponen verbal ini juga diperkuat oleh komponen visual yang
menunjukkan partisipan yang terlibat tidak membuat hubungan dengan
pengamat/pembaca karena tidak ada kontak mata, partisipan terlibat saling
melihat satu sama lain atau kepada obyek di dalam gambar (tepak,
payung,makanan). Terkait jarak sosial partisipan berada pada posisi public
(gambar diambil dengan medium close shots, pengambilan dari pinggang, di
sekelilingnya terlihat ada empat orang). Pembaca melihat gambar dari sudut
pandang depan (frontal point of view) yang memberinya perasaan terlibat dalam
peristiwa tersebut. Dalam hal ini tidak ada kekuasaan terbentuk antara partisipan
dan pembaca. Semua gambar direpresentasi dari medium angle, yang berimplikasi
pada kesamaan derajat antara pembaca dan partisipan dalam gambar. Hasil
analisis metafungsi tekstual menunjukkan Tema Topikal/ Partisipan paling
mendominasi. Klausa yang dimulai dengan tema partisipan menandakan bahwa
penutur lebih menonjolkan informasi tentang siapa, atau apa yang terlibat dalam
aksi sebagai titik awal percakapan. Dari persfektif komposisi, masing-masing
prosedur yang dilaksanakan dalam DMTWC dibidik pada fokus yang lebih tajam,

ukuran partisipan yang menjadi fokus umumnya lebih besar dibanding dengan
partisipan lain dan lanskap yang menyertai image biasanya di letakkan di latar
depan atau tengah agar menjadi unsur yang paling menonjol atau paling mendapat
perhatian. Selanjutnya, warna baju dan obyek-obyek yang menjadi fokus kontras
dengan karakter lain, seperti kuning merupakan warna dominan yang terlihat pada
obyek dan pakaian karakter inti. Karena warna kuning mengindikasikan
kebahagiaan, kesejahteraan seperti yang diharapkan oleh pengantin dan seluruh
keluarga.
Kata kunci: ideasional, interpersonal dan tekstual; metafungsi, multimodal
