<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the types of meaning contained in the short story collection Ihwal Nama Majid Pucuk through a semantic study and to produce a recommendation for handout teaching material in learning short story texts for grade XI of senior high school. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method and a text-analysis model, while the data consist of word, phrase, and sentence quotations collected through documentation techniques. The main theory used is Abdul Chaer's theory of meaning, supported by Geoffrey Leech's theory of associative meaning, with data analysis following the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the three analyzed short stories contain eight types of meaning, namely lexical and grammatical meaning, referential and nonreferential meaning, denotative and connotative meaning, word and term meaning, conceptual and associative meaning, idiomatic meaning, figurative meaning, as well as locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary meaning. Lexical and grammatical meanings dominate the findings, while proverbial meaning is not found in the data source.
