Abstract

This study aims to identify metaphors contained in ‘Kebalai’ chanting in Ba'a dialect, classify the types of metaphors based on Lakoff and Jhonson's theory (1980), and analyze their implications for language learning. The research used descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of interviews with native speakers of Ba'a dialect. The analysis shows that there are 19 metaphors in ‘Kebalai’ chanting, which are divided into three types: structural, orientational, and ontological metaphors. One example of a metaphor is lelesu na ana buka maloa fo ana soluk, en na la'ok ana longge no dale namahoko ‘the door he opens wide to welcome, his footsteps dance happily’ means he is very open and very sincere in receiving guests.So lelesu na ana buka maloa ‘opening the door wide’ shows friendly behavior or an attitude of openness. Opening the door is a concrete action that expresses an opportunity to enter, accept, and an attitude of openness. The implications of this research for language learning include: improving understanding of abstract concepts, expanding vocabulary, honing critical thinking skills, deepening cultural understanding, helping mastery of figurative language, and improving communication skills.
