This is the study of the traditional rice planting ritual discourse community of Rongga, Manggarai Eastern of Flores. The research is an ethnopragmatics intended to understand the social practices bound by cultural context in ritual rice planting. This cultural context contains the values of local wisdom, behavior, social categories, emotions, beliefs, and so on. Etnopragmatik is supported by theories eclectically, namely the theory of critical discourse analysis, ethnography of communication, speech acts, natural semantic, and cultural discourse of culture. It is specifically aimed at describing the cultural norms and their meaning configurations. The theory used in the study is the cultural scripts developed by Wierzbicka (1994, 2002) considering that cultural norms constitute rules and regulations in social interaction practices. They can be investigated from the use of grammatical aspects of language and linguistic routines which are context-bound. They can be configured by paraphrasing in simple language.
