Abstract

This study aims to describe the form/variety and function of cecimpedan as a traditional Balinese riddle. This qualitative research was performed using descriptive analysis, supported by note taking and interview recording in collecting the data through interview and field observation. The underlying theories used in this research included the theory of reception and the theory of function. The results show, cecimpedan is grouped into four types: 1) Cecimpedan Alit-alit which refers to riddles for kids (children-puzzle), 2) Cecimpedan Lumrah referring to common riddles used among people older than ten years, 3) Cecimpedan Cecangkriman that starts with command and questions such as tegarang bade/tebag cecimpedane ene! Apakah anak...? (Guess this riddle! What is this person who…?), 4) Cecimpedan Saur-Pitaken which starts from an answer with an imperative sentence that should be answered in question sentences. In another word, the question is formed from an answer, while the answer is in the form of a question. For instance, Tegarang makarya patakon cecimpedan ane bebadeannyane, umah tuduh! (Try making a riddle in which the answer is a leaky house!). Cecimpedan have functions to challenge one’s logic, as entertainment, and as education material.
