Abstract

This article talks about the exploitation of disourse units performed by Indonesian teenage writers in constructing teen-lit stories in bahasa Indonesia. Ten narrative texts in various genres were selected as the focus of discussion. They were analysed for types of discourse units selected by the authors to build up the story texts. Further, the analysis is also conducted to see the function of each discourse unit in such stories. The results show that the teenage authors are creative in constructing the narrative texts. Some of them are build up as novels, short stories, scary stories, and also comedy stories. Even though all the texts are narrative, each type show different discourse unit selection and construction. In addition, the authors are good to make creation for the discourse unit arrangement for their stories.
