ABSTRACT

This paper attempts to examine the paradigm maintained by Sonimgut to position it in relation to reality as well as narrative. To this end, the study first examines the overall syntactic flow of Sonimgut, which is a cumulative structure that conveys and affirms the importance of welcome- hospitality-farewell to guest gods in stages. This structure has one paradigm, which can be called a kind of social(goodwill) paradigm, as it sees the guest god as an object of welcome, hospitality, and farewell. In order to examine the specificity of such a paradigm, we explore what this paradigm aims for in the society and culture in which the Gut is performed. Reinterpreting smallpox from a biological or medical point of view emphasizes that the social modeling of diseases built by this text is cultural and special rather than inherent and essential. These paradigms are repeated, reaffirmed, and rebuilt at every Sonimgut, driving some attitude toward the disease in its audience: a particular worldview. It is a human-made worldview that sees that human behavior and choice can lead to disease and recovery from disease. Finally, this paper recognizes that in the Pandemic-era, the source and result of Sonimgut can introduce recognizesmeaningful questions and answers to this worldview.
