This study aims to analyze the syntactic structure and function in a news text containing the statement of the Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) regarding the case of a specialist medical education (PPDS) student at Padjadjaran University (UNPAD). The focus of this research is on identifying clauses, phrases, and sentence patterns, including syntactic errors found in the online news article. A descriptive qualitative method was used with a syntactic analysis approach. The results show that the news text contains a variety of simple and complex clause structures with syntactic functions that serve to deliver informative and persuasive messages. However, several syntactic errors were also found, such as ineffective sentence construction, phrase misplacement, and ambiguous meanings. These findings highlight the importance of syntactic accuracy in news writing to ensure clarity and precision of information. This research is expected to contribute to the field of syntax studies and help improve language quality in mass media writing.

This research is entitled "Analysis of language errors in persuasive speech texts for class 9J students at SMPN 9 Tasikmalaya". The aim of this research is to find out language errors in persuasive texts. The approach used in this research is a qualitative descriptive approach. The data used in the research are words in persuasive texts that experience errors in aspects of phonology, morphology and spelling. The technique used in this research is the listening and note-taking technique. This listening technique is used to obtain data by reading and listening to the use of language in the form of speech texts written by students, then the note-taking technique, namely writing down errors in the speech texts written by students. The results of the research show that the types of language errors that are most often found are errors in word usage, word selection and sentence construction that do not comply with correct Indonesian language rules. Factors causing this error include students' lack of understanding of language rules, as well as the influence of informal, everyday language habits. It's hoped that this research can provide insight into teaching Indonesian in schools, especially in improving the quality of students' written persuasive texts..
