EXPLANATION TEXT
Explanation Text merupakan salah satu jenis teks akademis yang berfokus pada pemaparan hubungan sebab-akibat serta urutan terjadinya suatu fenomena.

PENGERTIAN
Text Explanation text adalah jenis teks non-fiksi yang berfungsi untuk menjelaskan bagaimana (how) atau mengapa (why) suatu fenomena alam, sosial, ilmiah, atau budaya terjadi. Berbeda dengan Procedure Text yang memberikan panduan instruksional langkah demi langkah bagi pembaca untuk membuat sesuatu, Explanation Text berfokus pada penjelasan akademis mengenai mekanisme proses itu sendiri.

TUJUAN
Tujuan komunikatif (social function) dari Explanation Text adalah:
  1. Menjelaskan proses-proses yang terlibat dalam pembentukan atau kerja dari suatu fenomena alam atau sosial.
  2. Memberikan pemahaman kausalitas (sebab-akibat) secara logis dan objektif kepada pembaca.
GENERIC STRUCTURE
(Struktur Teks)
Struktur umum dari Explanation Text terdiri dari tiga bagian utama; general statement, sequenced explanation, dan concluding statement.
  1. General statement berisi pengenalan awal atau latar belakang mengenai fenomena/isu yang akan dijelaskan (topik utama).
  2. Sequenced explanation berisi deretan paragraf yang menjelaskan urutan proses terjadinya fenomena secara rinci dan bertahap. Bagian ini menekankan pada rantai hubungan sebab-akibat (cause and effect) serta urutan waktu (chronological sequence).
  3. Concluding statement / conclusion (opsional) berisi kesimpulan akhir atau penutup yang merangkum keseluruhan proses yang telah dijelaskan.
CIRI LINGUISTIC
(Language Features)

SIMPANG LIMA GUMUL MONUMENT

      The Simpang Lima Gumul Monument, commonly known as SLG, is a magnificent landmark located in Tugurejo, Ngasem, Kediri Regency, East Java. Inaugurated in 2008, this monument acts as the center of five interconnected roads connecting Kediri to other cities. Inspired by the iconic Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France, the SLG monument was built not only to serve as a local icon but also to act as a catalyst for economic growth in the region.

       The construction of the monument was initiated by the 23rd Regent of Kediri, Ir. Soetrisno, and began in 2003. It is situated on a strategic plot of land that connects Pare, Plosoklaten, Kediri City, Pesantren, and Gampengrejo. The structure is designed as a large, square-shaped monument with detailed reliefs on its walls. These reliefs depict the cultural heritage, history, and daily life of the Kediri people, such as the Ganesha statue and traditional market scenes.

        Furthermore, the monument has a total building height of roughly 25 meters, with three main floors reachable by stairs. The basement area features rooms intended for meeting halls and other civic activities. The location, often referred to as the "Tugurejo intersection," was specifically chosen to shift the center of economic activity from the city center to this new area, reducing traffic congestion in the city center of Kediri.

        Nowadays, the monument functions as a public space, a tourist attraction, and a central business hub for the local community, boosting the economy of the Ngasem district.
