Abstract


This paper aimed to examine the configuration of cultural values of taboos in the Aceh Language. This study used the qualitative method by phenomenology approach. The data collection was used by observing and recording the interview with ten Acehnese speakers in Langsa and East Aceh. The data was analyzed by using the theory of cultural script by Goddard (2010). The results showed that values of taboo in Aceh culture consist of (1) Spiritual Values, (2) Respect Values, and (4) Morality Values. Then, the configuration was by the understanding of local cultural scripts in terms of taboo language. The configuration is constructed in high-level script components of "it can be good.", it can be bad" "it will be something good if" and it will be something bad if" and low-level script with components of "when" and "if". The cultural value contains the aspects of thinking, speaking, and doing. It is derived from the semantic primes of both evaluation and perception.
