Abstract

The study meticulously examines the pervasive theme of nature exploitation through an in-depth analysis of Jesyca Tina's evocative short story, Bumi Tak Seindah Dulu. By focusing on the adverse effects stemming from humanity's excessive exploitation of natural resources, such as environmental degradation, disasters, and ecosystem transformations, the research aims to provide profound insights into the intricate dynamics between humans and their natural surroundings as depicted in the short story. Through a carefully designed descriptive qualitative research methodology, the study meticulously gathers primary data directly from the narrative canvas of the short story, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of the themes and motifs therein. By grounding its analysis in the principles of eco-criticism, the research illuminates the complex interplay between human actions and environmental consequences, underscoring the urgent need for conscientious and sustainable practices. Moreover, the study emphasizes the narrative's pivotal role in fostering environmental consciousness and advocating for responsible stewardship of the planet. By shedding light on the intersections of literature, ecology, and ethical responsibility, the research serves as a compelling call to action for a paradigm shift towards more harmonious and sustainable coexistence with the natural world. Through its nuanced examination of these themes, the study seeks to inspire readers to reevaluate their relationship with the environment and embrace a more environmentally-conscious lifestyle.

Abstract

This research analyzes the syntactic structures of noun phrases found in the editorial section of The Jakarta Post newspaper. This study addresses the limited research on noun phrase structures in Indonesian English-language media. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study examines noun phrases in three editorials published from June 3 to 5, 2024. The analysis identifies eight types of noun phrase structures: Determiner + Noun, Adjective + Noun, Determiner + Adjective + Noun, Determiner + Quantifier + Noun, Determiner + Participle + Noun, Noun + Prepositional Phrase, Noun + Adjective Phrase, and Noun + Relative Clause. The findings reveal that the most frequently used structure is Adjective + Noun (24.7%), followed closely by Determiner + Noun (24.0%). These results indicate a strong tendency in journalistic writing to employ descriptive language while maintaining specificity and clarity. The study also reveals that noun phrases in The Jakarta Post serve multiple functions including subjects, objects, and complements, with complex structures such as Noun + Prepositional Phrase (16.9%) and Determiner + Adjective + Noun (17.5%) being used to provide additional context and nuanced information. This research contributes to understanding how English syntax functions in Indonesian media contexts and offers insights for linguistics educators, students, and media professionals regarding the practical application of noun phrase structures in journalistic writing.
