Keywords:
Lexicon, Rice field agriculture, Local WisdomAbstract
Globalization had a great impact to language use not only to national language, like Indonesian, but
also to local languages and cultures. This research examines the lexicon of rice field agriculture in Bekasi
Regency and its local wisdom based on anthropolinguistics study. We employ ethnographic research
methodology to gain insight into the research aim. We select nine informants who were representatives
of the residents of Sukakarya, Sukatani, Serang Baru, and Cibarusah districts. The informants were
active in rice field agriculture and actively use their mother tongue so that they were considered able to
provide the information needed. The result of the research shows that: (1) the total of 99 lexicon related
to rice field agriculture were found in Bekasi Regency. The lexicons show the language system embraced
by the people of Bekasi Regency, the technological system, the economic system, the knowledge system,
and the religious system. (2) local wisdom that appears in Bekasi Regency are 15 types of 17 types of
local wisdom mentioned by Sibarani. We urge the people of Bekasi Regency to harmonize the impact of
globalization and their local wisdom, to safeguard Bekasi’s indigenous language and culture.
