ABSTRACT: Civilized society is those who appreciate and maintain their heritage which is, then, manifested into a set of local wisdom. Local wisdom is an activity containing way of life and knowledge undertaken by local people to answer problems in fulfilling their necessity. The socio-cultural condition of Sundanese people at the time “Amanat Galunggung” (Message of Galunggung) was produced, which include religious, socio-economic, and cultural conditions, is precisely captured by the text. Through its discursive strategies, the text presents that the religious life of Sundanese people at that time is mostly influenced by Hinduism. In economic side, people of Sunda generally work in farming field. Meanwhile, the cultural condition indicates the pluralistic life of Sundanese community. The present research’s effort is to examine the representation of Sundanese local wisdom in an old text entitled “Amanat Galunggung” which was written in 16^th century. Framed generally by CDA (Critical Discourse Analysis) theory and method, and particularly DHA (Discourse Historical Approach), the examination is focused on observing the five discursive strategies in micro-analysis under DHA, which includes strategies of nomination, predication, argumentation, perspectivation, and mitigation. The discussion also highlights the socio-cultural background of Sundanese people in that period to see its influence on the content of the text itself. Thus, the integration of two disciplinaries of historical study and linguistics is well-achieved.
