Abstract

Cultural expressions shown in the vocabulary of a language are an inherent part of the social life of the language community. This means that the socio-cultural dimensions of a partcular language community can be revealed from the vocabulary of the language. In Indonesia, the vocabulary listed in the Indonesian comprehensive dictonary (Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia, henceforth KBBI) is largely comprised of the hundreds of local languages used all over Indonesia. These local languages carry their own socio-cultural dimensions which have enriched the cultural resources of Indonesia as a multethnic country. A study on a partcular local language in KBBI is expected to reveal the unique socio-cultural dimensions of the local language at the natonal level. This study aims at analyzing the Balinese vocabulary found in KBBI. Balinese language is the ffh biggest local language contributor to KBBI. This study found 173 headwords labelled Balinese in KBBI. These headwords are frstly classifed based on their word classes in order to reveal the cultural artefacts and actvites of Balinese included in the Indonesian language. The headwords are then grouped into several semantc sub-groups and groups based on the most common hypernyms of the words. The fndings show 65 semantc sub-groups which fall into 10 semantc groups: area, colour, creaton, entty, fauna, fora, human actvity, person, social aspect, and shape. Given the frequency data, the main socio-cultural dimensions of Balinese language in KBBI are creaton (56 words), entty (26 words), and area (21 words).
