Abstract

Textbook is a learning material used in English language teaching in the classroom. There are numerous types of text in English textbooks, one of which is descriptive text. English teachers usually teach students how to understand the sentence in the text by explaining the grammar, which does not help students comprehend the meaning. Semantic roles can help students understand the meaning of sentences. This study aims to analyse the types of semantic roles and find out the most dominant type in descriptive texts in the textbook “Bahasa Inggris SMA/MA/SMK/MAK Kelas X” that was released by the Ministry of Education and Culture based on Saeed’s theory. The research is qualitative method and content analysis method. The research objects are two descriptive texts in textbook “Bahasa Inggris SMA/MA/SMK/MAK Kelas X.” The total of data in this textbook is 42 sentences. The researchers used documentation in order to collect the data and used Miles and Huberman’s qualitative analysis to analyse the data. The research results show that nine kinds of semantic roles contained the descriptive texts: agent, patient, theme, experiencer, beneficiary, instrument, location, goal, and source. From those data, the most frequent type of semantic roles is theme which appeared in 28 data.
