| dc.description.abstract | Environmental discourse has certain delivery strategies, one of which is through the use of smoothed language (euphemism) to disguise or avoid harsher meanings. This research aims to examine the discourse structure, identify the form and motive for the use of euphemisms in the LIKE 2 Festival Talkshow. This research uses a qualitative approach. The results showed, text elements in the macro structure, the title of the discourse interpreted the content of the talk show discourse. In the superstructure, the discourse framework begins with an opening by the moderator, followed by the content part in the form of a question and answer session between the moderator and the speaker, and then closed by the moderator or the speaker's closing statement. In the superstructure content, the focus is on the problems faced, ending with the efforts to overcome them. The microstructure is characterized by technical terms, active sentences, pronouns that build a sense of togetherness, and a delivery style using images. In the Talkshow on the Implementation of the Conversion of Fuel Motorbikes to Electric Motorbikes, 4 euphemism data were found at the word level and 5 data at the sentence level. Meanwhile, in the Minim Waste Lifestyle Talkshow, 6 data were found at the word level, 1 data at the phrase level, and 1 data at the sentence level. Based on Allan and Burridge's classification, the forms of euphemism in the Electric Motor Conversion Talkshow consist of understatement (45%), one-for-one substitutions (33%), circumlocutions (11%), and flippancy (11%). In Talkshow Minim Sampah, one-for-one substitutions (57%), understatement (15%), acronyms (14%), and circumlocutions (14%) were found. The motive for using euphemisms in the electric motorcycle conversion talk show consists of two motives, namely fact concealment (2 data) and reification (1 data). Whereas in the minimal waste talk show, the motive that appears is only concealment of facts (2 data). | en_US |
