repetition. Based on the language uniqueness of these linguistic aspects, the author groups the
themes of kidung discourse into four categories (1) religiousity, (2) social and romantic, (3)
ecological, and (4) educative. Based on the content analysis approach, the language uniqueness
of the kidung in the lexical form are the repetition of possessive pronouns in social romancethemed kidung, personal pronouns in religious-themed kidung, and the third person pronoun in
educational-themed kidung. In the semantic aspect, the repetition of synonyms is found in
kidung with ecological themes that relate to synonyms of natural terms, the songs of romance
that relate to synonyms of heart and mood, and the songs with religious themes that relate to
the repetition of synonyms of divine terms. The interest of people in Javanese kidung in Kidung
Jawa Modern is related to the poetic aspects of the kidung, variations in discourse themes, and
