Abstract

This thesis investigates the multimodal analysis of text and illustrations in Roald Dahl’s Matilda and The Witches. It explores the relationship between text and illustrations in constructing themes, characters, and narrative experience, using a multimodal framework based on representational, interactional, and compositional meanings. The findings reveal that illustrations in both novels significantly enhance the narrative. In Matilda, they emphasize Matilda’s intelligence, power, and resilience while highlighting her parents’ oppressive behavior. In The Witches, illustrations intensify danger and fear through grotesque depictions of the witches. Both novels demonstrate the synergy between text and illustrations in creating emotional impact, clarifying themes, and enriching the reading experience. This study underscores the importance of illustrations in children’s literature as tools that contribute meaningfully to readers’ understanding, rather than mere decorative elements.

Abstract

This research examines the cultural categories and gender representation in the English textbook "English Starter" for seventh-grade junior high school students. The study uses Chao's cultural type theory (2011) and Susanto's gender theory (2021). The results show that 61% of the pictures are Universality across Culture, 28% Source Culture, 4% International Culture, 7% intercultural Interaction, and 0% Target Culture. In terms of gender representation, male gender names are represented 49% and female 51%, while female gender is represented 51% and female 52% in address terms, identity markers, adjectives, and nouns. This uneven presentation of cultural categories highlights the need for a more comprehensive approach to curriculum development. The book also demonstrates gender equality, with female gender being more dominant than male, avoiding bias and boosting women's confidence.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of euphemisms and dysphemisms in Lois Lowry’s The Giver and George Orwell’s Animal Farm within the framework of Politeness Theory, focusing on how these linguistic strategies influence societal norms and individual roles. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, which focuses on the detailed analysis and interpretation of textual data. The results demonstrate that euphemisms align with negative politeness and off record strategies to obscure unpleasant truths, while dysphemisms correspond with bald on record strategies to directly attack and discredit. Both novels strategically employ euphemisms to soften harsh realities and maintain societal control, while dysphemisms are used to stigmatize opposition and reinforce authority. The implication of this study is that it highlights how language shapes reality, enabling students to critically analyze linguistic manipulation. Moreover, by examining euphemisms and dysphemisms in The Giver and Animal Farm, students gain insights into control, power, and oppression, while exploring the connection between language and societal critique in dystopian literature.
