Abstract
Kitchen appliances the Minangkabau society has undergone many changes. This change resulted in the lexicon being used also changing. The classic Minangkabau society has a typical cooking lexicon like pangua ‘grater’. This equipment is no longer used by the Minangkabau community. This results in the extinction of the lexicon. The purpose of this study is to explain the meaning and local wisdom of the classic lexicons and the threat of extinction of the lexicon of cooking equipment. Data from this study comes from text edits and documentation of Minangkabau folklore. In analyzing the data, the researcher used a method equivalent to anthropolinguistic theory. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the lexicon of cooking equipment in classical Minangkabau culture can be grouped in the form of names of cooking tools and cooking containers. The lexicon above is hardly used anymore and has been replaced with modern equipment so that the lexicon is threatened with extinction and results in the breaking of the local wisdom inheritance chain.
