Abstract

Phonology is an important aspect of learning English as a foreign language, especially for beginners. Understanding the English sound system not only helps improve pronunciation, but also strengthens listening and speaking skills. However, many students experience difficulties due to the phonological differences between their native language and English. This article aims to present effective strategies in teaching phonology based on recent findings. The method used is a literature study by analyzing various relevant literature sources. The results show that strategic approaches such as the use of AI-based technology, minimal pair practice, articulation visualization, as well as providing continuous feedback can significantly improve students' phonological awareness. Other strategies such as reading rhyming poems, singing rhyming songs, and sound manipulation exercises also play an important role in helping students recognize and produce sounds better. With targeted and needs-based phonology teaching, communication skills in English can be effectively improved.

Punctuation is one of the most important aspects of the English language. However, punctuation is often associated with writing ability alone, even though in fact punctuation also plays a big role in pronunciation ability. And this research is intended to discuss the relationship between punctuation and pronunciation ability. To find out whether they are related and what causes them to be related. This research was conducted using the interview method by asking participants' opinions regarding the relationship between punctuation and pronunciation skills. The author also uses qualitative descriptive research to provide a systematic and factual description of the topic under study. And the results of this research are expected to provide a more in-depth picture of punctuation marks in improving pronunciation abilities.

Abstract

This article examines clause structure in Indonesian pop song lyrics from a syntactic perspective using a literature review approach. Rather than conducting primary data analysis, the study synthesizes findings from journal articles, undergraduate theses, and empirical studies that focus on syntactic patterns in song lyrics. As a form of artistic discourse, pop song lyrics exhibit flexible linguistic characteristics and frequently diverge from canonical syntactic rules to accommodate aesthetic, expressive, and rhythmic demands. The synthesis reveals that Indonesian pop song lyrics predominantly employ simple clause structures, subject and object ellipsis, inversion, and fragmentary constructions. These syntactic patterns function to enhance emotional expression, maintain alignment with melodic structure, and increase memorability and listener engagement. The findings further indicate that syntactic realization in song lyrics occupies an intermediate position between spoken and written language, emphasizing functional and contextual meaning over formal grammatical completeness. This article provides a comprehensive overview of dominant clause structure characteristics in Indonesian pop song lyrics and discusses their implications for syntactic analysis, lyrical interpretation, and linguistic studies in popular music media. ABSTRAK Artikel ini mengkaji struktur klausa dalam lirik lagu pop Indonesia dari perspektif sintaksis melalui pendekatan tinjauan literatur. Penelitian ini tidak melakukan analisis data primer, melainkan mensintesis temuan dari artikel jurnal, skripsi, dan studi empiris yang membahas pola sintaksis dalam lirik lagu. Lirik lagu pop sebagai bentuk wacana artistik memiliki karakteristik kebahasaan yang cenderung fleksibel dan sering menyimpang dari kaidah sintaksis kanonik guna memenuhi tuntutan estetika, ekspresif, dan ritmis. Hasil sintesis menunjukkan bahwa lirik lagu pop Indonesia secara dominan menggunakan struktur klausa sederhana, elipsis subjek dan objek, inversi, serta konstruksi fragmentaris. Pola-pola sintaksis tersebut berfungsi untuk memperkuat ekspresi emosional, menjaga keselarasan dengan struktur melodi, serta meningkatkan daya ingat dan keterlibatan pendengar. Temuan ini juga menunjukkan bahwa realisasi sintaksis dalam lirik lagu menempati posisi antara bahasa lisan dan bahasa tulis, dengan penekanan pada fungsi komunikatif dan kontekstual. Artikel ini memberikan gambaran komprehensif mengenai karakteristik struktur klausa dalam lirik lagu pop Indonesia serta implikasinya bagi kajian sintaksis, interpretasi lirik, dan studi kebahasaan dalam media musik populer.
