Abstract

This study aims to uncover how hyperbole is used to express social status in the Rambu Solo’ or Funeral Ceremony. The study adopts a qualitative descriptive research design using stylistic analysis with a socio-cultural approach. The data for this study consists of ritual speeches from the Rambu Solo’ or Funeral Ceremony, obtained from the traditional Rambu Solo’ rituals. Data collection was conducted through observation, recording, note-taking, and interviews. The findings of the study reveal that hyperbole is employed in the execution of the Rambu Solo’ Ceremony to signify the social status of the Toraja community.
