The use of appropriate words allows writers to convey more profound ideas and concepts. Authors use language in literary works like novels to create a unique and effective language style. It is evident that a language serves as both a means of conveying and accomplishing other elements. As a result, it is appropriate for researchers to examine the lexical features of The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf. The objectives of the study are to analyze the selected utterances of the main character in the novel The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf. Furthermore, the researcher intends to analyze the impact of the author's lexical choices on Khadra Sammy's selected utterances and determine how these lexical choices assist the main character in establishing herself as a Muslim. By employing note-taking techniques, the researcher collected research data from Khadra Sammy's selected utterances using the descriptive qualitative research method. The findings indicate that 138 Khadra utterances employed four lexical categories. The first category comprises nouns, which demonstrated the following results: 32.96\% abstract, 34.07\% concrete, 29.87\% proper, and 3.10\% collective. In addition, the adjective category contains 54.32\% attributive, 3.70\% restrictive, 0\% non-restrictive, 11.11\% gradable, 11.11\% non-gradable, and 19.76\% predictive. The category of verbs yields the following results: 18.09\% stative, 40.24\% dynamic, 8.81\% transitive, 1.91\% intransitive, 28.33\% linking, 2.62\% factive, and 0\% non-factive. The researcher divides the category of adverbs into two primary categories. The semantic functions of adverbs yield the following results: 11.03\% relate to manner, 4.14\% to place, 0\% to direction, 6.21\% to time, 0\% to duration, 4.82\% to frequency, and 9.65\% to degree. Meanwhile, the results of sentence adverbs show that there is 0\% adjunct, 0\% subjunct, 3.45\% disjunct, and 60.7\% conjunct. The researcher has determined that the author's lexical choice substantially influences Khadra's utterances. Furthermore, the variety of lexical choices employed in Khadra's utterances indicates its involvement in the establishing of Muslim identity.} }
