Abstract

Culture has a broad and diverse range of understanding so that it is an entity that is not easily defined. Although there are various theories that explain cultural meanings; one thing that is certain is that culture is different from nature. The values contained in local wisdom can be reflected in everyday life. As for local wisdom that reflects cultural values including welfare, hard work, discipline, education, health, mutual cooperation, gender management, cultural preservation and creativity, environmental care, peace, politeness, honesty, social solidarity, harmony and conflict resolution, commitment, positive thoughts, and gratitude. In this paper, the language which is the most important part of culture will function as a social tool, mode of thinking, and cultural practice. The phenomenon of language and cultural hybridization reflected in the use of Batak Toba language is very interesting to be studied from an anthropolinguistic perspective which will reveal the cultural behavior and local wisdom of the Batak Toba community. Data which is a umpasa of Batak Toba Language are analyzed one by one using the matching method referred to Sudaryanto with all his techniques, so that the entity will be known as a cultural poem containing cultural values and local wisdom found in the Batak Toba community.
