Abstract

Eco-lexicon is a lexicon characterized by a natural configuration of meanings, which is relevant to the field of eco-linguistics. Old Javanese kakawin poetry was traditionally associated with kingdoms, but there is now an effort to create kakawin, especially on ocean-themed topics. This development is intriguing and aligns with the research objective, which is to identify the Old Javanese eco-lexicon in kakawin created on the island of Bali. Considering that kakawin employs Old Javanese, which is no longer active as a communicative language, the study utilizes five sources of kakawin data written in Old Javanese, created in 2023. Data were collected through observational methods and analyzed distributionally. The research findings revealed 25 basic forms of eco-lexicons and 9 derived forms in ocean-themed kakawin.
