Abstract

Travel brochures use different types of sentences to attract and guide readers. One of the most common types is the imperative sentence, which is used to give instructions, make suggestions, and invite readers to take action. This study examines the use of imperative sentences in the English travel brochures of Ammar International Travel, a travel agency based in Medan, Indonesia. The aims of this study are to identify the types of imperative sentences used, determine the most dominant type, and explain their functions in the brochures. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method following Creswell (2018). The classification of imperative sentences is based on Quirk et al. (1985), who divide them into three types: directive, persuasive, and invitational. The data were taken from five English brochures published between 2023 and 2025. A total of 31 imperative sentences were identified. The findings show that persuasive imperatives are the most dominant (48.39%), followed by invitational imperatives (29.03%) and directive imperatives (22.58%). Each type has a different function: directive imperatives give instructions, persuasive imperatives highlight benefits and encourage customers, and invitational imperatives create a friendly and engaging tone. These results indicate that imperative sentences play an important role in making travel brochures both informative and persuasive.

Abstract

This study analyzes the psychological conflicts experienced by the lyrical persona in eight selected songs from Billie Eilish’s album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? using the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research identifies 97 instances of psychological conflict, including anxiety, insecurity, loneliness, unresolved grief, emotional dependency, and identity instability. Freud’s theory reveals conflicts through the interaction of the id, ego, superego, and defense mechanisms, while Jung’s theory highlights the roles of persona, shadow, and individuation. The findings show that the album functions as a cohesive psychological narrative portraying the persona’s ongoing struggle for self-understanding and emotional balance. The study concludes that the album reflects complex psychological experiences and demonstrates the relevance of psychoanalytic approaches in analyzing contemporary song lyrics.
