Abstract
This study is about discriminatory language in Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s works ‘Anak Semua Bangsa’, ‘Rumah Kaca’, and ‘Jejak Langkah’. Precisely, it examines forms of discrimination realized through discriminatory expressions. Data for the study were obtained with document analysis and FGD (Focus Group Discussion). Results of data analysis show that the unequal use of language in this study relates to social class and gender. Social class discrimination takes the forms of subordination, stereotyping, marginalization, and violence. In addition to workload, gender discrimination also takes similar forms of discrimination. It is of great importance to note, however, subordination forms dominantly appear within the two variables.
