The expressions are studied in ecolinguistics perspective which views language as a system in relation with environment and human behavior. The change in Minangkabau agricultural expression reflects major social change in Minang environmental awareness and behavior. The extinctions of traditional expressions and words really disrupt some key aspects in Minangkabau agriculture. This phenomenon is caused by advanced agricultural technology. The loss of lexicons results the extinction of a number of Minangkabau cultural assets and values. This method of this research is survey and interview related areas in West Sumatera. This problem brings further effect in Minangkabau culture as a whole.
