ABSTRACT

Proverbs are one of evidence of human existence framed in culture. It contains many admonitions, exhortations, criticisms, and even implicit prohibitions. This requires cognitive ability to understand and receive messages well. This qualitative descriptive article aims to investigate the meanings of proverbs in Lampung, Indonesia, for learning local wisdom. Using an observation method, this study employed 36 proverbs that can be used as a medium for children to learn language and cultural values. The analysis was carried out by classifying the source domain and target domain with cognitive semantic designs. The findings show that the proverbs contain advice and noble values of the Indonesian culture. The values refer to Piil Pesengiri as a local philosophy of Lampung.
