Abstract

The research discusses the classification of sentences into four main structures: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex. It illustrates each structure with examples and emphasizes their role in storytelling. Additionally, it outlines a research question and objective aimed at investigating the sentence structures in narrative texts written by 7th-semester English Literature students at UINSA. The study's significance lies in deepening understanding of sentence structures in narratives, contributing to research methodologies, advancing educational practices, and shedding light on the relationship between linguistic accuracy and narrative creation. The researcher hopes to gain insights into students' writing proficiency through this analysis. This study was conducted using sampling and qualitative methodology to investigate sentence structure analysis in narrative story writing. The study focuses on 30 7th-semester English Literature Department students from UINSA, who were tasked with creating narrative texts using comic pictures. The data for the research was sourced from the submitted papers containing story writings by these students. The research design employed qualitative methods appropriate for analyzing narrative texts. Data analysis was conducted using syntax sentence structure analysis. The subjects of the study were short paragraphs or full texts written by the respondents, who were selected based on their ability to construct sentences with various structures. This study presents the results of their study, addressing the research question concerning the types and functions of sentence structures in narrative texts written by 7th-semester English Literature students at UINSA. Researcher analyzed a total of 156 sentences, categorizing them into simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex structures. Most of the sentences were declarative, with simple structures being the most common. The findings indicate that students can construct complex information, particularly through simple and complex sentence structures.
This ability suggests proficiency in sentence arrangement, echoing previous research emphasizing the importance of simple sentences in communication and textual composition. They highlighted how studying sentence structure aids in appreciating stylistic choices, enhancing communication, refining language usage, and fostering critical thinking skills. Ultimately, the study concludes that analyzing sentence structure is essential for literacy and effective communication, offering endless possibilities for linguistic exploration and mastery.
