Abstract

ABSTRACT: Kakawihan, traditional Sundanese children's songs, are sung as accompaniment during games. The lyrics of these songs often include lexemes of animals and plants, reflecting the close relationship between humans and nature. This study aims to identify the forms and categories of flora and fauna lexicons found in the lyrics of traditional Sundanese children's songs. Data collection for this study was conducted using the observation and note-taking methods. The data were then analyzed using a qualitative descriptive method based on ecolinguistic theory. The analysis and discussion revealed that the corpus of flora lexicons in 22 traditional Sundanese children's songs includes 12 types of flora. The fauna lexicons found in these songs consist of 18 types of fauna. The lexicon forms are composed of (1) single forms such as 'oray,' meaning snake, and (2) complex forms such as 'seureuh leuweung,' meaning forest betel. The lexicon categories identified in this study are nouns and noun phrases. The findings of flora and fauna lexicons also characterize the living environment of the Sundanese people, who predominantly reside in mountainous areas and are associated with mountain ecosystems, rice fields, rivers, and a few coastal ecosystems. This research is expected to contribute both theoretically and practically to the field of linguistics, as well as to efforts in nature conservation and cultural documentation.
