Abstract

An abstract should be explained well so that the readers will understand the content of the writing. Therefore, it is important to know the relationship between the meaning of words when writing an abstract. This study aimed to describe and analyze the sense relation of thesis abstracts that were written by English Language Education Study Program students FKIP Lambung Mangkurat University batch 2017 who graduated in 2021. The method of the research is descriptive qualitative and the subject was the students of ELESP.  The researcher has carried out reading and note-taking techniques for data. The findings of the study show that there were seven types of sense relation found the in thesis abstract that was written by ELESP. There are 61 synonyms, 22 hyponyms, 25 homonyms, 39 polysemy, 16 complementarities grade abilities, and 10 relational opposites and there are additional words -s, -ed, found in some words. From the results of the study, it can be suggested that (1) the students of ELESP should understand more about the material of sense relation so that they can easily write their academic papers including thesis abstract, (2) the lecturers should explain more to the students on the importance of using the correct sense relation in writing the abstracts, (3) it is expected that other researchers focus more on the sense relation element in their further research.
