This paper discusses expressions of emancipation and lexical cohesion analysis of the
expression of emancipation in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. The purpose of this research is
to analyze the keywords and expression of emancipation that are used in the novel. The analysis is based
on the theory of lexical cohesion (Halliday & Hasan, 1976). A descriptive qualitative approach is
adopted, focusing on the keywords and expressions of emancipation. The study involves 86 data that
contain the expressions of emancipation. The problems to be investigated in the study are: (1) What are
the main keywords related to the idea of emancipation used in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’
Tale?(2) What are the specific expressions related to the main keywords of the idea of emancipationused
in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’ Tale?, and (3) What kinds of lexical cohesion are shown between
the idea of emancipation and the expresions of emancipation in Margareth Atwood’s The Handmaid’s
Tale? The results of the study show the following points. The concept of emancipation can be analyzed
into 5 keywords and each keyword is related to a number of other lexical items. The keywords are: 1)
Gilead consisting 5 other lexical items; 2) Woman according to Margaret Atwood’ The Handmaid’s Tale
consisting 25 other lexical items; 3) Red consisting 11 other lexical items; 4) Commander’s household
consisting 5 other lexical items; and 5) Mayday consisting 4 other lexical items. This lexical cohesion
analysis discusses each one of the keywords with the consideration of its context and events in the novel.
The study also found various types of lexical cohesion used to present the idea of emancipation in the
novel, including repetition, synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy. This research is expected to give some
directions as to what lexical cohesion devices are worth analyzing. More studies maybe conducted in the
same field with larger samples and more fictional text types, and with the use of lexical cohesion
especially antonym, synonym, and hyponym.
Keywords: lexical cohesion types, emancipation
