Abstract

There is an interdependent relationship between humans and nature. This relationship forms local knowledge in human life. This research focuses on the local knowledge of Sundanese people in the lexicon of kawung in Kuta Village, Ciamis Regency, West Java. This research uses an anthropological linguistic theoretical approach. The results of this study show two things. First, the lexicon treasure of kawung is classified into the following four categories: (1) tangkal kawung, (2) legen or lahang processing tools, (3) legen or lahang processing, and (4) legen or lahang processing products. Second, the lexicon of kawung includes the following functions: (1) self-identity, (2) local knowledge system, (3) environment, and (4) social. Based on these two findings, the lexicon about kawung portrays the utilization of kawung as a food plant in the indigenous community of Kampung Kuta. Thus, this shows the existence of local knowledge about ethnobotany in the indigenous people of Kampung Kuta, which is relevant to sustainable development goals.
