Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the use of words of honor that presented the femininity in the funeral guest books and feminine roles reflected through language strategies. Royal histories of upper-class women found in six funeral guest books published between 1920 – 1956 were studied. The results revealed that there were three linguistic strategies that portrayed the dead’s femininity revealed in the books including the use of words to state the status, the use of words to explain stages of life concerning places and the use of words to express femininity of the dead. All these five linguistic strategies reflected five feminine roles of the upper-class women that were being a child, a wife, a mother, a master and a servant
