Abstract

Javanese people have diverse thought about women. One of them is the Javanese concept of the women’s role which represented through the use of metaphors. This metaphor in Javanese society is an expression of Javanese society in realizing its imagination through language media. This paper aimed to find out the role of Javanese women as reflected in Javanese language metaphors. This research was a qualitative research using the conceptual metaphor theory from Lakoff and Johnson. The result showed that there was a reflection of the role of women in Javanese metaphors which presented the role of women as mothers, wives, children, and women themselves.
