Every human cannot be separated from the language. In verbal language, humans have the choice of vocabulary to accomplish the message in communication. The selection occurs in the memory they have. One type of vocabularies that is often used by humans is the emotion vocabulary. In the Javanese, emotion vocabulary has a vast treasury of vocabulary. This research discusses the memory capability of semantic of emotion categories in Javanese, between men and women by the recall approach. This research involved ten participants, five men, and five women. The data was derived from the recall of the vocabulary of semantic of emotion categories in Javanese. The theories used in this research are gender theory, memory theory, and theory of emotion and state of mind. The results of this research found that women had more semantic memory than men. The most emotion category of men was anger emotions, as many as 13 vocabularies, and the least was in the category of grateful emotion, only one word. In women, the most category was in the sad emotion, as many as 14 vocabularies, and the least was in the category of wonder emotion, only one word.
