2.1.3 Indonesian Noun Phrase
Research by Yuwono 2010 concluded three differences of English and Indonesia NP; 1 English NP have a different system of word order from
Indonesia equivalents, 2 the modifiers in the English NP may occur before orand after the noun head, 3 the modifiers in the Indonesian NP occur only after
the noun head except when the modifier is a kind of noun determiner which denotes quantity.
Yuwono mentioned that the Indonesian NP starts with the largest class and then follow the smaller and smaller limiters, whereas the English NP does do the
opposite. The largest class is last and the smallest first. The more we scrutinize the different grammatical systems between the English and Indonesia NP, the more
difficulties we can predict that may be encouraged by the Indonesia learners learning English and we can also know that the more complicated the English NP,
the more difficulties the learners will have. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
