Abstract: The phenomenon of
Kebo Bule as the actuality of Javanese language and culture in Surakarta can be
criticized from the perspective of ethnolinguistic. In terms of the descriptive
qualitative expression of the language and culture of Java, Kebo Bule from the
perspective of Ethnolinguistic is identifiable on the background of it in
Surakarta, the influence of Kebo Bule to the Surakarta’s Court, and the meaning
of Kebo Bule as one of the magical icons of the Surakarta’s Court.
Ethnolinguistic as a theoretical concept is part of the branch of linguistic
studies that seeks to study the language understanding in a broader context in
order to express an understanding of the culture. Methodologically,
understanding the relationship between the expression of language and culture
Kebo Bule can be peeled using ethnomethodology to ethnolinguistics by utilizing
ethnoscience (knowledge typically owned by ethnicity, tribe, people) to find
the cultural themes of people related to their mindset and the worldview. The
research data encompasses of oral and written data, verbal data sources from
informants and writes from a library. The validity of the data was done by
triangulation, and data analysis using ethnoscience (especially taxonomic,
domain and componential analysis). Results of the discussion is presented in
the form of narrative texts related to the background, the effect and meaning
Kebo Bule for the existence of the language and culture of Java in Surakarta.
