**Projections in the Folklore of the Malay Functional Linguistic Study** ===========================================================

Introduction

The study of projections in the Malay folklore is a significant area of research in the field of linguistics. This study aims to identify and describe the types of projections that exist in the complex clauses of the Malay folklore, with a focus on the three titles: Bungsu Awang Hikayat, Legend of Mirror Beach, and Big Buyung. These titles are considered representative of the diversity of Malay folklore and provide a rich source of data for analysis.

The research is based on the Functional Systemic Linguistics Approach (LSF), which suggests that the structure of language cannot be separated from the social context where the language is used. In the context of folklore, the use of language does not only function as a means of communication, but also reflects the social and cultural values of the Malay community.

Types of Projections in Folklore

Through the analysis conducted, four types of projections were identified in the text:

Parataxis locusion projection: This type of projection involves the use of paratactic structures to convey information in a straightforward and clear manner.
Hypotaxis locusion projection: This type of projection involves the use of hypotactic structures to convey information in a more complex and nuanced manner.
Projection of Parataksis Ideas: This type of projection involves the use of paratactic structures to convey ideas and concepts in a straightforward and clear manner.
Projection of hypotaxis ideas: This type of projection involves the use of hypotactic structures to convey ideas and concepts in a more complex and nuanced manner.

The results showed that the projection of paratactic locution dominated with a percentage of 95.07%, followed by a projection of parataxis ideas which was only 4.23%. Meanwhile, hypotaxis locusion projections and hypotaxis ideas have the same percentage, which is 0.35%. The dominance of the projection of this parataxis locusion shows that Malay folklore tends to use a more direct and clear structure, where pronunciation or expressions conveyed are more clear and explicit.

The Impact of Projections on Story Understanding

The dominance of the projection of paratactic locusion can have implications for the way the reader or listener understands the story. This type of projection allows the delivery of information in a straightforward way, which makes the narration easier to follow. In the context of folklore, this is very important because the main purpose of the story is to convey the morals and values to the audience, especially the younger generation.

Meanwhile, the projection of ideas, both parataxis and hypotaxis, which has a much lower percentage, illustrates more complex or deep nuances of ideas in the story. The presence of this projection, although a little, is still important to provide additional dimensions to the narrative.

The Significance of Projections in Malay Folklore

The study of projections in Malay folklore is significant because it provides insights into the way the Malay society communicates and conveys information. The dominance of paratactic locusion projections reflects the way the Malay society values direct and clear communication, while emphasizing the importance of social and cultural context in shaping language use.

By understanding the projections in folklore, we can better appreciate the rich language and culture of Malay and the values contained therein. This study contributes to the field of linguistic studies, especially in understanding the relationship between language and social context in the form of folklore.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this study has shown that the Malay folklore tends to use a more direct and clear structure, where pronunciation or expressions conveyed are more clear and explicit. The dominance of paratactic locusion projections reflects the way the Malay society values direct and clear communication, while emphasizing the importance of social and cultural context in shaping language use.

The study of projections in Malay folklore is significant because it provides insights into the way the Malay society communicates and conveys information. By understanding the projections in folklore, we can better appreciate the rich language and culture of Malay and the values contained therein.

Recommendations for Future Research

This study recommends that future research should focus on the following areas:

Investigating the relationship between language and social context in other forms of folklore: This study has shown that the Malay folklore tends to use a more direct and clear structure, but it would be interesting to investigate whether this is true for other forms of folklore.
Analyzing the use of projections in different genres of folklore: This study has focused on the three titles of the Malay folklore, but it would be interesting to analyze the use of projections in different genres of folklore, such as myths, legends, and fairy tales.
Investigating the impact of projections on the comprehension of complex ideas: This study has shown that the projection of ideas, both parataxis and hypotaxis, has a much lower percentage, but it would be interesting to investigate whether this has an impact on the comprehension of complex ideas.

By investigating these areas, future research can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the role of projections in Malay folklore and its significance in the field of linguistic studies.
