Abstract
Animals are part of the human environment. Humans with their common sense place animals in several categories. In Javanese society there are known terms of kewan alas 'wild animals', kewan galak 'wild animals', iwen 'pets', lulut 'tame', and ingon-ingon 'domestic'. This paper focuses on animal names, to uncover the taxonomy of animal names that exist in Javanese society. With ethnolinguistic methods, preliminary data from library sources is supplemented by field data obtained through observation, participation, and interviews with selected respondents, namely citizens who become breeders or induct animals, such as goats, cattle, buffaloes, and horses. Hypothetically the naming of animals along with the elements that become part and their supporters express human closeness with animals. The closer relationship makes it more creative in naming the parts and environment that become the ecosystem of each animal.
