This article is aimed to describe the verbal expression given by the Balinese community to the birth of a baby by examining the core of verbal expression in the use of diction. In the context of discourse, the choices of words used are not only due to chances, but also ideologically showing how the meaning of community facts and reality. Data analysis indicated that these are the differences in the use of word choices between verbal expression for baby boys and girls. The verbal expression for baby boys contains exceptional semantic features focusing on happiness. Meanwhile, for baby girls, there are more prayers and hopes for their household chores. Besides, those verbal expressions given were found containing gender inequality. Concerning the discourse analysis, it can be disclosed that the microstructure of the verbal expression is a reflection of the macrostructure of Balinese community’s construction.
