DOI: https://doi.org/10.24843/JH.20 21.v25.i03.p05 This research focused on the discussion about the analysis of the lexicon of the verb 'destroy' in the Balinese language. The data of this research are taken from some verbs in one meaning field with the verb 'destroy' which is found in the Balinese language. After the data collected, the data are analyzed based on the entities, the tools the manners which are related to the lexicons of the verb 'destroy'. Then, the findings of the research are presented descriptively. Based on the analysis, the lexicons in the Balinese language which have the same meaning field with the verb 'destroy' are Ngencakin, Ngremukin, Nguwugang, Menyahin, Nglidekin, Ngededekang, Ngeregreg, Nyakcakin, Nyetset, Mesbes, Ngincuk, and Ngenyagin. They are in the same meaning field but has different meaning based on the context of usage.


INTRODUCTION
There are many verbs in Balinese that have collocations, for example, the verb 'destroy'. In the Balinese language, the verb 'destroy' has many contexts of use. There are several lexicons in the Balinese language that have the same meaning field as the verb "destroy" in English, namely Ngencakin, Ngremukin, Nguwugang, Menyahin, Nglidekin, Ngededekang, Ngeregreg, Nyakcakin, Nyetset, Mesbes, Ngincuk, and Ngenyagin. These lexicons have special semantic characteristics so that each lexicon contains different meanings even though they are in the same field of meaning. When we talk about language forms, we mean words, phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, etc., which are spoken and written (Swarniti, 2019). In this article, it is discussed the analysis of several lexicons of the verb 'destroy' in the Balinese language to find out the differences in the text of the lexicon usage. This will make the text nice and easy to read (Swarniti, 2021).
The existence of different verb forms with similar meanings, as well as the different objects and desired outcomes of the action of the verb are also naturally influenced by the manner of taking, the tools used, and some of them occurring due to the verbalization of the instruments used as the means of taking (Sudipa, 2012); (Widani, 2016). The verbs that populate the predicate function are derived from the nominated pickup tool (denominal verb) through the implicit process (Wierzbicka, 1996); (Durst, 2004).
In general, researches on the theory of NSM exemplify all meanings, whether lexical, illocutive, or grammatical meanings (Goddard, 1997); (Goddard, C., & Wierzbicka, 2016); (Wierzbicka, 2007); (Farese, 2015). This theory has the distinctiveness of recognizing the special meaning system in a language and in the uniqueness, there is a set of a universal semantic structure called "natural semantic" (Goddard, 1997).

METHOD AND THEORY
Sources of data in this research are taken from several Balinese language verbs which have the same meaning as the verb 'destroy' in English. The research approach explains that research is carried out solely based on existing facts or phenomena that are empirically alive in the speaker so that what is produced or recorded is in the form of a language that is usually said to be like a portrait or exposure as it is (Sudaryanto, 1993).
There is a theory that is used to solve the problem in this research theoretically. This research used the meta-language theory from Goddard (2015). His statement regarding language meta is as follows: The Natural Semantic Meta Language (NSM) approach is a meaning-based approach to linguistic description, applicable to lexicons, morphology, syntax, and pragmatics (Goddard, 2015). The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative because this research focused on the explanation of some lexicons in the Balinese language which have the same meaning as the verb "destroy" in English. To collect the data in this research used the observation method to obtain a variety of data. Then the data is analyzed by looking for entities, tools, and methods associated with the verb "destroy" which is located in the Balinese language. After being analyzed in detail, the findings of this research are presented descriptively.

To know and understand more about the natural semantic metalanguage approach, it is needed to make some researches about this topic. Before analyzing the topic, it is needed to find the main theory that will be used in research.
Therefore, the suggestions here are the topic natural semantic metalanguage approach must be discussed as research in future. This is to make the languages have many various forms based on a different context. The other suggestion is as a student when the research will be made. There are some things that must be prepared. The first is choosing a topic that is understood clearly. The second is finding the main theory and supporting theory to support the research. Lastly, make sure of the validity of the data that will be used. It will be easy to make research if the things above knew clearly.
