Abstract

Buginese songs are the literary treasures of the South Sulawesi region. One interesting aspect to talk about is song lyrics by looking at the stylistic aspect, including choosing the right words to express the creator’s thoughts and felt. The term “archaic,” which possesses ancient qualities, is used in Buginese song lyrics. Writing about archaic diction was conducted by four song writers, i.e., Jauzi Saleh, Yusuf Alamudi, Haji Mustafa Bande, and Hasan Pulu. The research is descriptive qualitative by applying the method of listening, recording, and interviewing. The study results reveal that the diction of archaic words in Buginese song lyrics contains a poetic value and prioritizes aesthetic elements. Bittara’ sky,’ limbanni ri majeng ‘died/passed away,’ mamminanga ‘sail,’ and lo mattaneteni tampungna’ old tomb,’ are archaic words that have specific meanings in Buginese songs. The public does not commonly use the archaic term, but it is beneficial for authors to get an aesthetic, solid effect, and impression on the song. The diction of archaic words by the creator considers meanings and values of the taste, atmosphere, and inner vibrations of the audience through the power of the sound of the song lyrics.
