Abstract

The development of language affects speech cultures and modes of communication. Politer terms were created to avoid misunderstanding. This phenomenon is called euphemism. Employing euphemisms while discussing sensitive topics can help people express their ideas politely. This present study aims to determine the types of euphemism used in a famous television series entitled Bridgerton. The research was conducted only on the first episode of the series. This qualitative research employed content analysis as the research methodology. The research findings showed six types of euphemism identified, namely substitution, litotes, metonym, hyperbole, synecdoche, and colour-based metaphor for x-phemism. Nevertheless, this research was only analyzing the first episode of the series. Hence, the results might have differed in other episodes. Future researchers who are interested in the same topic may find other types of euphemisms that this research cannot cover.

Abstract

Indonesia is a diverse country consisting of various cultures and also religions. Currently, there are six official religions recognized by the Indonesian government, which are Islam, Protestant, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhi, and Confucianism. Thus, it is important for English book writers to design an English textbook that not only accommodates the needs of the students but also contains learning content which are representing all those varied religions and cultures in order to represent the background of the students. This study focuses on the portrayal of religious content found in the six Indonesian English textbooks published by the government and private sector. The purpose of the study is to assess, whether the six Indonesian English textbooks fairly distribute religious content through the textbooks’ visual illustrations or not. Visual content analysis was used as the methodology of the study to answer the research question. Based on the findings of the study, it was revealed that all the six Indonesian textbooks did not fairly distribute the religious contents. Some religions were having little to no representation in the textbooks. The religions portrayed throughout the contents were Islam, Protestantism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.

Abstract

Abstract. Ecolinguistics may be one of the newest branches of linguistics. However, it has an important role in the educational field. Through ecolinguistics, students can possess both linguistics and ecological knowledge at the same time. Moreover, the case of environmental issues was getting higher day by day, Thus, it is important to put ecolinguistics representation through the contents of textbooks.  This qualitative research aimed to investigate the portrayal of ecolinguistics aspects in several Indonesian English textbooks. The purpose of this study is to analyze, whether Indonesian English textbooks use ecolinguistic aspects in their topics, words, or sentences or not. Five Indonesian English textbooks published by the Indonesian government were used as data sources. To gather the data, a corpus application, AntCont, was used. The descriptive qualitative approach and corpus approach were used in this study to analyze the contents of the English textbooks. The findings of the study indicated that not all Indonesian English textbooks represented ecolinguistics aspects in their topics, words, and sentences. Only three English textbooks from the total of five English textbooks portrayed ecolinguistic aspects in their contents. It is expected that the study results would improve the global understanding related to the environment and ecolinguistic topics, particularly through English textbooks for students. Keywords: Ecolinguistic topic, ecology, English textbook, EFL, ELT
