<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the aesthetic sentence patterns in the novel Alun Samudra Rasa as a characteristic of the linguistic aspect that affects the quality of the novel. This study uses Leech's stylistic approach to describe linguistic descriptions with aesthetic appreciation related to the object of study. The formulation of the problem in this study is how sentence patterns in novels can create aesthetic charm. This research is a qualitative study. Data were collected through heuristic, hermeneutic and bibliographic techniques, listening, taking notes, and analyzing the flowing model. This study's results indicate that sentence patterns create aesthetic characteristics in the novel, including parallelism sentence patterns, antithesis, inversion patterns, descriptive phrases, climax, anticlimax, and repetition. These sentence patterns are used because of the author's unique style and skill in processing sentences. These aesthetic sentence patterns seem to be related to each other; there are rhythmic sentence patterns, sentences that have a dramatic effect, changes in the SPOK (Subjek-Predikat-Objek-Keterangan) arrangement pattern, sentences complete of imagination, chronological order, distinctive repetition and the use of diction in sentences.]]>

<![CDATA[This study uses Judith Butler's queer theory and also involves the concept of mental attitudes and mental functions by Carl Gustav Jung. Previous research has focused mainly on providing an overview of some studies that use ideas such as gender performativity and literary psychology to examine homosexual behavior and identification in films and novels. Meanwhile, this research discussing homosexual identity in the novel 'They Both Die at The End' by Adam Silvera is very restricted. Thus, this research is intended to investigate the representation of homosexual identity and also the factors that cause homosexuality in the characters of the novel. This research used qualitative research, and the data collection technique in this study uses reading and note-taking techniques. The results of this study show that the formation of homosexual identity in this novel is shown by performative actions, which are influenced by social interactions, conversations, emotional experiences, and the characteristics of the main characters.]]>

<![CDATA[Communicating is a human activity in stating one thing with an agreed way of doing it between the one who sends it and the one who receives it, make that in language, signs, or symbols. Expression is an effort in expressing an idea, either in language, signs or symbols, without any agreement from the sender and the receiver. Communication and expression in painting has become something that just happens, since art was created when human knowledge knows how to write up to writing is no longer needed as pressing buttons would finish the job. In communicating through an artwork there is an effort so that the target understands the idea being stated, while expression is purely expressing an idea without others consent in understanding it. Hence this analysis aims to dissect the differences through several artworks that have existed in the visual arts: from cave to modern art. This analysis also aims to provide extended knowledge on analyzing works of art through the ages.]]>

The background of this research highlights the importance of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in 21st-century education, which necessitates evaluation questions capable of measuring students' analytical and critical skills. This research adopts a qualitative approach using the content analysis method. The method involves categorizing questions based on the revised Bloom's Taxonomy, which includes cognitive levels from C1 to C6. The analysis results show that out of 50 essay questions analyzed, 44% are at the C1 level, 38% at the C2 level, 12% at the C3 level, 4% at the C5 level, and 2% at the C6 level, with no questions at the C4 level. The conclusion of this study is that the majority of questions remain at the basic cognitive level, emphasizing basic recall and understanding. The implication of these findings is the need to improve the quality of questions to better encourage students' critical and analytical thinking skills comprehensively.]]>

<![CDATA[The present study analyzes the pragmatic equivalence in the translation of illocutionary speech acts in the lyrics of Gala Bunga Matahari by Sal Priadi. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this research examines how illocutionary speech acts in the source language (Indonesian) are maintained or altered in the target language (English). Data consist of speech units in the song lyrics and their translations obtained from YouTube’s auto-translate feature, categorized into representative, directive, expressive, commissive, and declarative acts. Data collection follows the documentation method, and analysis is conducted using interactive model: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Findings reveal that most speech acts maintain pragmatic equivalence, especially in assertives, directives, commissives, and expressives. However, shifts occur, such as directives changing into commissives and vice versa, altering communicative intent. Some non-equivalence arises due to grammatical differences and translation adjustments for naturalness in English. Despite these shifts, the translation largely preserves the song’s core message. This study highlights the complexities of translating song lyrics while maintaining illocutionary intent, contributing to research in translation studies and pragmatics.]]>

<![CDATA[Ethical politics in the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia during the colonial period), since 1901, has also been the path to developing literacy and education in colonial Indonesia. The various groups supported education development, including the Theosophy group with a mission to strengthen Eastern culture. On the other hand, the development of education also gave birth to many private printing houses that published literary readings for students. During this period, Tan Khoen Swie played a dual role: entrepreneur, supporter of education, and observer of Javanese spirituality and culture. This 340-page book by Wisnu provides a detailed projection of the figure of Tan Khoen Swie and his thoughts, company, and dedication to publishing educational texts during the national movement to the Old Order.]]>
