Objectives: This research aims to analyze the language features used to portray the images of His Majesty the Late King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great, King Rama IX of Thailand.
Methods: The researcher studied two books written in French: Le Roi Bhumibol et la Famille Royale de Thaïlande à Lausanne by Cléon C. Séraïdaris, compiled by his son, Lysandre C. Séraïdaris, and Un roi en Suisse: La jeunesse helvétique du roi Bhumibol de Thaïlande by Olivier Grivat.
Results: Both books present his majesty’s three main aspects: 1) the King who had vision and genius, 2) the King who was friendly and simple, and 3) the King who was highly revered and respected. The portrayal of the images of His Majesty the Late King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great was conveyed through language strategies, utilizing polyphony, intertextuality, and interdiscursivity, including the use of axiology and rhetorical figures to express honor to the Late King of Thailand.
Application of this study: The results of this study reveal the attitude of Swiss people towards His Majesty the Late King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great through the use of various language strategies. These theories can be applied to study images in other contexts.
