Abstract

This research is a study of meaning using Herbert Blumer's Theory of Meaning. Blumer stated that meaning could produce three things: different, action, and dynamic. By using this theory, the study tried to explore the meaning of Kobhung, Langghar, and Dhepah among Madurese different generations (X, Y, and Z generations). The different generations may allow to produce different meaning based on the social condition and the surrounding environment. It will be interesting also to analyze the trajectory meaning of Kobhung and other terms used by Madurese generation after generation. This study might be useful in preserving one of the local cultures in the form of language. This qualitative study used interviews for X generations and was supported by google Forms for Y and Z generations in exploring the meaning of Kobhung, Langghar, and Dhepah. The result of this study stated that all generation have understood the meaning of Kobhung and Langghar, while Dhepah is just understood by the X generation. Interestingly, no one of Y and Z generation has ever heard the term Dhepah. In terms of function, those three terms have similarities and differences. The similarities come from meeting the guests and conducting some Islamic activities, but 40% of the Z generation disagree with the use of Langghar as a place for meeting the guests. At the same time, the differences are mostly coming from the building construction and some different functions.
