The research steps involved reading the text thoroughly, understanding its content, identifying subject words or phrases, analyzing their grammatical roles and categories, and drawing conclusions from the analysis. The results show that the subjects are categorized as nouns, nominal phrases, pronouns, personas, and clausal nouns, and function as agents, patients, results, themes, and causers. These findings reflect consistent syntactic patterns in the sentence structure of the news text, in line with its communicative purpose.
