Abstract

This study aims to find out the use, connotative meaning, and types of Indonesian idioms based on animal names. The data in this study were taken from Indonesian-language articles contained in news articles, short stories, and opinions on the internet. This research resulted in three major findings. First, Indonesian idioms are used to refer to people or people and things. If the idiom is used to refer to humans, it can have both negative and positive connotations. On the other hand, if the idiom is used to refer to objects, then the idiom has a neutral connotation. Idioms with negative characters are used to refer to sexual offenders, thieves/corruptors, cunning, disease, poor physical appearance, inferiority, temporary psychological conditions, obscurity, shamelessness, and alternatives. Furthermore, idioms with a positive character are used to refer to superiority. Second, there are only two types of idioms that appear, namely, pure idioms and semi idioms. Finally, neutral idioms are used to refer to names/labels, foods, plants, hairdos, foundations, teenage love, and activities. The use of animal names in idioms referring to humans is caused by the character attached to the animal, while the use of idioms referring to objects is caused by similarities in form.
