| dc.description.abstract | This study aims to determine the lexicon and the understanding of the Nias people regarding the lexicon in Dahadanö Botombawö Village, Hiliserangkai District, Nias Regency.

This fauna lexicon research is an ecolinguistic study using a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. The data taken is in the form of conversations between informants and the community as respondents. The techniques used in this research are speaking techniques, free viewing involving cak, paint, and recording techniques. This study describes 1) the fauna lexicon in the Nias language in Dahadanö Botombawö Village, Hiliserangkai District, Nias Regency, 2) Describes the level of understanding of the Nias people about the existing Fauna Lexicon.
