The Tradition of the Legacy of ‘Look Malu’ in Timor-Leste Society: An Ecolinguistic Study

Abstract

The study of the tradition of 'look malu' or presenting
betel nut in Timor society, is one part of the study that
correlates with ecoculture in the context of Ecolinguistics
with the aim of identifying, exploring, and arranging in a
series of visual data for analysis. This study was realized
based on the theory of text data studies from Creswell
(2009) in Sugiyono (2012: 14) and data analysis methods
from Maxwell & Chamiel (2014) in Ascarya Academia
(2021). The tradition of 'look malu' that applies in the social
relations of community life has several functions that are
concretely appreciated in the social life of the supporting
community that runs from time to time.
