Javanese, a language with a rich cultural heritage, has a unique discourse structure when it comes to announcements. This study focusses on examining the linguistic units that mark the semantic relations in Javanese announcement discourse. The data collection used the listening method, and the data analysis employed the distributional method, utilizing the direct element technique. The result of this study shows that titles of Javanese announcement discourses are typically expressed with the lexical unit wara-wara, pariwara, or pengumuman 'announcement' as the linguistic variants. The message conveyed should be responded to by the recipient through action. Older groups tend to use Javanese krama to show respect in communication, while younger people often prefer Javanese ngoko or Indonesian. Semantic relations are mostly expressed explicitly, including phatic relations, gratitude, thanks, notifications, mediators, requests, temporal, emphasis, purpose, causality, additions, hope, specification, possibilities, and closing. The finding is important for the development of linguistic theory, input for the preparation of discourse books, and resources for the cultivation of the Javanese language.
