 What is the meaning of An Analytical
Exposition
Secara bahasa, “Analytical” bermakna, “examining or liking to examine things very carefully” (Cambridge).
Artinya, (suka memeriksa / menguji sesuatu secara hati-hati). Sedangkan makna exposition sendiri sudah
pernah saya jelaskan pada tulisan tentang hortatory exposition, yaitu “a comprehensive description” atau
penjelasan secara luas.

Jadi, Pengertian Analytical Exposition bisa dipahami sebagai text yang mencoba memberikan penjelasan
secara komprehensif tentang suatu masalah dengan menampilkan pendapat-pendapat pendukung secara
hati-hati.

Tujuan utama analytical exposition text ini adalah, “ to attempt to persuade the reader to believe something
by presenting one side of the argument.” Artinya mencoba meyakinkan pembaca agar mempercayai
sesuatu dengan memberikan satu sisi pendapat saja.

An analytical text can be found in scientific books (buku ilmiah), journals, magazines (majalah), newspaper
articles, academic speech or lectures, research report etc.

Example of an Analytical Exposition
The Importance of English
Thesis { I personally think that English is the world’s most important
language. Why do I say that?

Argument 1 { Firstly, English is an international language. It is spoken

by many people all around the world, either as a first or second
language.

Argument 2 { Secondly, English is also the key which opens doors to

scientific and technical knowledge, which is needed for the economic
and political development of many countries in the world.
Argument 3 { Thirdly, English is a top
requirement of those seeking jobs. Applicants
who master either active or passive English
are more favorable than those who do not.

Reiteration { From the fact above, it is obvious

that everybody needs to learn English to greet
the global era.
