N2  - The attitudinal lexeme on the domain of kesenangan in Indonesia language has not shown such clear meaning
relationship, for both the common and diagnostic meaning of the lexemes. Those lexemes have such circular
definitions, confusing upon their use. This study is conducted using a qualitative research approach employing content
analysis technique. The aim of this study is to find out lexical relation and semantic meaning in attitudinal lexeme in the
domain of kesenangan (joy) in Indonesian language. Data is collected from seven Indonesian dictionaries, two
magazines, five newspapers, and six literary works. All data is analyzed using a component analysis in the semantic
theory. The research findings show that fourteen (14) lexemes (senang, nikmat, enak, puas, asyik, sukacita, ria, bangga,
lega, bahagia, gembira, girang, riang, and ceria) of attitudinal lexemes are related with the domain of kesenangan. The
result shows that hyponymy and synonymy lexical relations occur in the domain of kesenangan. Synonymy relation
consists of near-synonymy and propositional synonymy. In this case, absolute synonymy is not found.
