     This research is entitled “Lexical Taxonomy of Food in English and Sanger Language (A Contrastive Analysis)”. The objectives of this research are to identify, classify, and describe the types of lexical taxonomy of food and analyze the contrast of food taxonomy used in both languages. The research uses a descriptive method. There are three steps to finish this research, the first step is preparation. In this step, the writer reads some books about lexical taxonomy. The second step is data collection. In this step, the writer collects the kinds of food that include in lexical taxonomy in English and Sanger language. The third step is data analysis. In this step, the writer identifies, classifies, and describes the data about lexical taxonomy in English and Sanger languages according to Frisch in Hickerson (1980:120) theory and Lado’s (1957:114) theory to contrast the data of both languages. The results show that in solid and liquid foods, there are several types of food, such as: rice, bread, meat, fish/seafood, Alcoholic, non-alcoholic. The second results show that the lexical taxonomy has variation. For example, in English, the variety of food is bread while in Sanger Language the variety of food is rice, nbecause bread and rice are the main food. Whereas, the lack variety of food is sipa, because it only has one kind of alcoholic drink. The findings of this research support the theory of Frisch in Hickerson and Lado.
