The specific stylistics levels discussed in this study entailed phonological, graphological, grammatical, lexical, and thematic. For example, lexical divergent is an important part of Robert Frost’s poem, which enhances the allure by integrating the linguistic style with the themes of paths and choices. For example, in the first stanza, Frost shifts from the traditional descriptions of woods by utilizing “yellow” in order to introduce unconventional and vivid visual elements tailored to set the poem’s tone and emphasize the setting’s unique attributes. Moreover, Arain notes that rhythmic structure contributes to the overall aesthetic appeal, while lexical aspects augment the poem’s meaning. This article is a valuable resource for learners seeking to understand the intricacies surrounding Frost’s poem titled “The Road not Taken.” Febriani, R. Bunga. "Conveying an author’s intention to EFL readers: The meaning of “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost." International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change, 13.4, (2020): 1-13. https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/a9f6b Febriani’s study used the reader response approach to establish learners’ understanding of Robert Frost’s poem titled “The Road Not Taken” as well as determine the influence of English language abilities in understanding the poem. This study is vital when seeking to compare and synthesize Poe and Frost’s poems in terms of the form because the researchers argued that the special form of poems makes it easy to analyze them via different approaches, including stylistic and reader-response approaches. Although the present research used the reader-response design, it incorporates important arguments that could offer insights into how a reader can go about evaluating the form of a poem. Febriani notes in the study that an individual seeking to analyze a poem’s content should approach it from the reader-response perspective as it triggers the reader to interact with the text and derive poetic form, including rhythm and meter, rhyme scheme and rhyme, stanza structure, and use of line lengths and breaks. In this way, the article uses Frost’s poem titled “The Road Not Taken” to offer critical insights into how a reader can approach a poem when seeking to d...
