This study aims to describe the forms of semantic relations in the novel “Bulan” by Tere Liye, which are examined in depth using John Lyons' theory as the main guideline. This research employs a qualitative approach with the technique of free engagement observation for data collection. The source of the research data is the latest print edition of the novel “Bulan” by Tere Liye, published in 2023. The data analysis technique used is the Miles and Huberman model, which emphasizes three steps: data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results of this study found nine data samples of homonyms, nine data samples of polysemy, and ten data samples of redundancy. Among the three types of semantic relations studied in depth, the form of semantic relation with redundancy is more dominant. From this research, it can be concluded that if students are trained to examine the forms of semantic relations in depth, the message in a piece of writing will be more easily conveyed because the students, as readers, are able to understand the context of a form of semantic relation. Additionally, it is recommended that educators deepen their reading of both fiction and non-fiction, as well as analyze it beforehand as a form of practice before applying it to learning.
