Abstract

In a linguistic perspective, changing in language reflected in changing the environment, both the cultural environment and the natural environment. UGV is on the slopes of the forest so it is rich in ‘kayu’ flora. 63 lexicons of 'kayu' PDL in the UGV community were obtained through observation and interviews. Furthermore, the lexicon was tested to three age groups, namely age ≥ 60 years, age 25-59 years, and 12-24 years to obtain data on their level of understanding. Descriptive method is used to analyze the data. The data on the level of lexicon understanding for the group ≥ 60 years is 82.4%, 25-59 years is 64.4%, and 12-24 years is 12%. The effect of global change has changed people's mindsets and lifestyles from the traditional life to the modern life. These conditions have change the understanding and interrelation of humans with nature in that environment as well. Language as a source of literacy, so that all parties must have the ability to understand and behave towards a culture as a national identity. To be able to win the global competition in the current era of industrial revolution 4.0, strengthening language and socio-cultural education to create competitive human resources are absolutely necessary.
