- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to discover the form, the meaning, and the marker in the lexical cohesion of synonyms and antonyms in the “Uju Hotel” children’s storybook. This research was conducted due to the inadequate literature, focusing on synonyms and antonyms lexical cohesion markers in the Korean language. A descriptive qualitative approach was used in this research by using a textual analysis method. The data source used children’s storybook of “Uju Hotel”. In this research, data came from written literature, memos, and records. The results showed that the synonyms occurred ten times, which consisted of euphemisms (wangogo-beop), language style (munche), and connotation (naepho). On the other hand, the antonyms occurred 28 times, which consisted of relation (gwangye), complementary (sangbo), and level (jeongdo). synonyms markers for the (bangon) dialect and the noun naming (jeon-muneo) were not in the “Uju Hotel” children’s book. This research concludes that the use of antonyms in a Korean children’s book is more dominant than synonyms. Apart from those forms, synonyms, and antonym are used to develop cohesiveness and harmony in discourse to be understood by the students.
