Abstract

This research is motivated by the many unpleasant actions or events that, if stated as they are, will offend other people in communication activities. The purpose of this research is to find out how the euphemisms in the collection of SAiA short stories by Djenar Maesa Ayu can be used as a model for forming politeness in Indonesian language learning in Junior High Schools, which is carried out with a corpus linguistic approach. The research data in words, phrases, and clauses were obtained from the speech of the characters in the story, which contained elements of euphemism. Data collection used the document technique through the corpus linguistic method, namely the Indonesian Archipelago Corpus (KORTARA). The triangulation technique is used in validating research data. Research data analysis techniques include categorization, tabulation, and interpretation with substitution techniques to find similarities and differences in euphemism as a replacement form. The findings show that there are eight forms of euphemisms, namely (a) figurative expressions, (b) metaphors, (c) flippancy, (d) circumlocutions, (e) abbreviations, (f) one for one substation, (g) part for whole euphemisms, and (h) hyperbole; euphemisms in the collection of short stories SAiA by Djenar Maesa Ayu can be used as a model for forming language politeness in learning Indonesian discussion texts for class IX at Junior High School related to basic competency 4.10.
