Abstract

This study examines the strategic use of euphemisms in news headlines regarding the Gaza conflict published by The Jakarta Post. Euphemism functions as a linguistic tool that mitigates the impact of sensitive or politically charged topics, shaping public perception and discourse. Using Allan and Burridge theory (1991) framework, the research categorizes euphemistic expressions found in 39 headlines and identifies prevalent strategies such as one-for-one substitution, technical jargon, understatement, and circumlocution.
