Abstract

The Nias language that records the richness of Nias culture is ke-afo-an. ke-afo-an is a mixture of five entities originating from nature or the environment that are often used as snacks or cigarettes by residents who live in the geographical area of the Nias archipelago. The five main afo-an entities are fino (betel nut), gambe (gambir leaf), becua (lime), tawuo (betel), and bako (tobacco). The aim of this research is to know the Tridimensional Social Praxis in the metaphor of Ke-afo-an in Central Nias Dialect. This research was designed with a mixed methods research approach (qualitative and quantitative). The result shows the social praxis dimension of the afo-an lexicon influences the Central Nias dialect in Lahusa 1. The biological dimension is shown through the persistence of the actual reference of each lexicon. The ideological dimension refers to the lexicon used in the metaphor for the symbol of reference to the concept referred to in a situation. Finally, the sociological dimension is shown through the use of the afo-an lexicon in delivering a certain concept by speakers and listeners of Central Nias Language in the village of Lahusa 1.
