<![CDATA[The arrangement or structure of words based on applicable grammatical rules that form larger language units such as phrases, clauses, and sentences is called syntactic structure. The purpose of this study is to analyze syntactic constructions and sentence transformation patterns found in the book entitled "Skeleton 13". The focus of this study is to find and describe various types of syntactic constructions and to analyze sentence transformation patterns used by the author to create stories. The research data consists of sentences containing syntactic constructions and transformation patterns found in the novel. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with content analysis techniques. The results of the study show the following: (1) the dominant syntactic constructions in the novel consist of nominal phrases, verbal phrases, and complex clauses; (2) the transformation patterns in sentences consist of expansion, merging, moving, and eliminating transformations; and (3) the use of various variations of syntactic constructions and transformation patterns provides an interesting stylistic effect on the delivery of the story.]]>
