Abstract
This study aims to inventory the form of textual naming of rumah gadang ornaments,
analyze the semantic and semiotic meaning, and explain the function of rumah gadang
ornaments. This study uses an interactive analysis model of Miles, Huberman, Saldana. Data
obtained from the results of in-depth interviews, role observations and documentation. The
Pateda concept is applied to identify semantic meaning which consists of lexical meaning,
referential meaning, and descriptive meaning. In analyzing the meaning of semiotics contained in
Minangkabau gadang ornament, the concept of semiotic pierce was used. Based on the
condensed data source, the ornamental text is sorted into a form of naming a rumah gadang
ornament consisting of semantic and morphological processes. The form of naming in the
semantic process is subdivided into three, namely: the mention of characteristics and mention of
the place of origin, while the morphological processes are: basic words, derivative words and
compound words. The number of ornaments analyzed was 27 ornamental texts. These 27
ornamental texts have meanings related to the Minangkabau customs. The results showed that
most visual ornaments in the rumah gadang did not represent what was marked and the variety of
carvings in Minangkabau was knotted to plants not to animals or people, because according to
the Minangkabau community the plants symbolized beauty, prosperity, and fertility. Ornament
texts in the rumah gadang are divided into forms of plants (flora), animals (fauna), nature
(cosmic). The function of the rumah gadang ornament is purely aesthetic, construction and
symbolic. This function is illustrated from the traditional expression or petitah petitah.
