LITERATUR: Jurnal Bahasa dan Sastra welcomes original scholarly manuscripts that advance knowledge, theory, and practice in Indonesian language and literature and their education. All submissions must fall within the journal’s focus and scope and meet accepted standards of academic writing, research integrity, and publication ethics.
