A multimodal study
Keywords:
Balinese farming ceremony, Dewi Sri, multimodal, representation, systemic functional linguistics, visual grammarAbstract
This research applies a multimodal study to discover how Balinese people represent Dewi Sri as the goddess of rice and fertility through language and visuals in Balinese farming ceremonies. Therefore, this research analyzed the ideational function of the language and the representational meaning of visuals. This research is a qualitative study. The results show that language and visual elements work together to reveal and explain the representation of Dewi Sri in the ceremonies. The language elements show material processes as the dominant process and further, explain the form of Dewi Sri in ceremonial activities. The visual elements show symbolic suggestive representation processes as the dominant processes and identify the representative value of Dewi Sri. Furthermore, this research also discusses why the Balinese people honor Dewi Sri.
