Keywords:
Orality, Malay Culture, Syair Nasihat Ibadah, Walter J. Ong, LiteratureAbstract
This article is written to demonstrate the oral aspects of the Syair Nasihat Ibadah stored in the French National Library collection under the code Malayo-Polynesian 245. The oral aspects will be reviewed based on Walter J. Ong's theory of orality. The research method used is qualitative descriptive. The manuscript was read carefully and then analyzed using Walter J. Ong's theory of orality. The research steps began with intensive reading, data selection by choosing objects that were relevant to the focus of the study, analized using Walter J. Ong's theory of orality, and drawing conclusions. The aspects of orality that were found were conservative, additive, close to everyday life, and participatory. The conservative aspect was found in the patterns in the writing of the work and its function to pass on values to society. The additive aspect was found in describing the benefits of following the advice given. The aspect of closeness to everyday life can be found in the depiction of the advice given. The participatory aspect can be found when the author invites readers to follow the narrative interactively.References
