CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Analysis
Language has a great position in human life, because language can be defined as a way to utter our feeling and meaning. Language is therefore a system by which sounds and meanings are related Rodman (1974:2). Human always use language in words form and combine it into a sentence.
A linguistic works that studies about combine words in to sentence is called syntax. Syntax is the analysis of constructions that involve only free forms, Bloch and Trager (1942:71), or more over syntax is the study of the patterns by which word are combined to make sentences. Stryker (1969:21).
By the all definition and theory that has showed before, it can conclude that syntax is a branch of grammatical that studies about structure of sentences, phrase and clause.
As Tarigan says in his book about sentence, “Kalimat adalah satuan bahasa yang secara relatif dapat berdiri sendiri, yang mempunyai pola intonasi akhir dan yang terdiri dari klausa.” Tarigan (1984:5). It means that sentence is a unity of words that can stand alone as relative, that has intonation pattern and consist of clause.
(11)
A clause is syntagm having typically a subject and predicate (and possibly complement to these segments) (A period such as sit down! would also consist of a clause although no segment which could be called a subject is present) Goran (1976:58).
Further Cook added A clause is a group of words that forms part of sentence and that contains a subject and a predicate, Cook (1971:65)
According to Chaer (1994:231) “Klausa adalah satuan sintaksis berupa runtunan kata-kata berkonstruksi predikatif.” It means that in that construction there is a component, like word or phrase, that has a function as predicate; and the other as subject, object and complement.
Based on the distribution of the unit, clause can be classified into two parts; those are dependent clause and independent clause.
An independent clause is complete in itself, whereas dependent clause is necessarily related to an independent clause and dependent clause always started by a conjunction, Downing (1995:11). This is illustrated in:
They have locked up the house, before they went for a holiday. Independent clause : They have locked up the house,
Dependent clause : before they went for a holiday
Independent clause has two parts that consist of, verbal clause and nonverbal clause. Same with independent clause, dependent clause has many parts inside. There are noun clause, adjectival clause and adverbial clause. These are the categories of the clauses that I want to analyze.
In this thesis, the newspaper is used as the object of the analysis. Newspaper is a media that give some information by using some interesting
(12)
sentences and making the reader wonder to read it. The newspaper that used as the object of the analysis is The Jakarta Post daily newspaper. The reasons for chosing the neswpaper as the object of the analysis are:
1. The Jakarta Post is written in English
2. The Jakarta Post is written by Indonesian people and the reporters are not native speakers too. As an Indonesian people we have our mother tongue and national language as working languages. English is the third language that Indonesian people use.
3. In The Jakarta Post, the sentences found are used to be long and maybe made an ambiguity.
4. In The Jakarta Post, I find sentences that used in this newspaper are too long and have more than one clause.
Example: The club’s assistant manager Mark Bowen told the BBC that a deal was very close, but an Arabian business website insisted that talks had broken down (Sport Article Page 24 in The Jakarta Post).
These sentences consist of four clauses they are:
1. The club’s assistant manager Mark Bowen told the BBC 2. but an Arabian business website insisted
3. that a deal was very close 4. that talks had broken down.
Gathering the data from the newspaper, there are many articles that found in the newspaper, but I only utilize sport and the political articles from The Jakarta Post newspaper (1st-7th September 2009).
(13)
1.2 Scope of the Analysis
The discussion in this thesis is to describe clauses that found in The Jakarta Post newspaper. Politics and sport articles are the object of analysis of this thesis. In this thesis, I only describe the categories of clauses from The Jakarta Post newspaper. These categories will be described in and analyzed in the next chapter.
1.3 Problems of the Analysis
By writing this thesis, I would like to find out the solutions of the following problems:
1. What clauses are found in political and sport articles of The Jakarta Post Newspaper?
2. What are the most dominant clauses found in the political and sport articles of The Jakarta Post Newspaper?
1.4 Objective of the Analysis
The objectives of this analysis are:
1. To find out clauses that found in the selected articles of The Jakarta Post newspaper
2. To find out dominant clauses in the chosen articles of The Jakarta Post newspaper
(14)
1.5 Significances of the Analysis
This analysis may help the readers to understand the usage of clauses. This analysis will be useful for them because with this analysis it can make the readers easier to understand the clauses that found in the text or discourse and can be advantageous especially to the students of English Department who are interested in studying or research about clauses. Further, this analysis can help the students to understand much more about clauses, structure of clauses, and the category of clauses. I also hope this analysis can help those who are interested in analysing clauses. It is also expected that there would be some people who would like to develop the analysis of the clauses.
1.6 Review of Related Literature
The following books are the main sources in finding data and information for this analysis, they are:
Goran (1976:58) in his book “Lingusitic Units and Items” states that a clause is syntagm having typically a subject and predicate and possibly complement to these segments.
Downing (1995:11) in her book “Syntax” states that an independent clause is complete in itself, whereas dependent clause is necessarily related to an independent clause.
(15)
Cook, (1971:65) in his book “Introduction to Tagmemic Analysis” states that a clause is a group of words that forms part of sentence and that contains a subject and a predicate
Chaer (1994:231) in his book “Linguistik Umum” states that “Klausa adalah satuan sintaksis berupa runtunan kata-kata berkonstruksi predikatif.”
Many linguists and researcher have done the research about clauses and I take some of them as the references to develop my thesis.
Halliday is a linguist that has done the research about clauses and the result of his research is a theory about clause, he states that “Language enables human beings to build a mental picture of reality, to make sense of what goes on around them and inside them. Here again the clauses plays central role, because it embodies a general principle for modelling experience-namely, the principle that reality is made up of PROCESSES” Halliday (1994:106)
Another researcher that has done about the research of clauses is Siti Wachidah from UNJ (Universitas Negeri Jakarta). She analyzed clauses in Indonesian language from 15 texts on various topics from eight-well known newspaper in Indonesian language. The clauses were analyzed to find out whether and to what extent the theory applies in Indonesian language. Result indicates a high degree of consistency of the theory in the construction of clauses in Indonesian language.
In this thesis I use Cook’s theory that divides the category of clauses, from the distribution unit which consist of Independent and dependent clause. Independent divides in two parts; verbal and non-verbal clause whereas the
(16)
dependent clauses divided into three parts they are adjective, noun and adverb clause. Cook (1971:67).
CHAPTER II
THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
2.1 An Overview of Linguistics
Linguistics is the
narrowly defined as the scientific approach to the study of language, but language can, of course, be approached from a variety of directions, and a number of other intellectual disciplines are relevant to it and influence its study.
2.1.1 Scope of Linguistics
Linguistics encompasses a number of sub-fields. An important topical
division is between the study of language structur
formation and composition of
combine into
and abstract sound units).
(17)
Iσυν- syn-, "together", and τάξις táxis, "arrangement") is the study of the principles and rules for constructing
Syntax is the analysis of constructions that involve only free forms, Bloch and Trager (1942:71), or more over syntax is the study of the patterns by which word are combined to make sentences. Stryker (1969:21).
Modern research in syntax attempts to
rules. Many professionals in this discipline attempt to fi to all natural languages. The term syntax is also sometimes used to refer to the rules governing the behaviour of mathematical systems, such as
formal languages, an
2.3 Clauses
A clause is syntagm having typically a subject and predicate (and possibly complement to these segments) (A period such as sit down! would also consist of a clause although no segment which could be called a subject is present), Goran (1976:58).
Further Cook added A clause is a group of words that forms part of sentence and that contains a subject and a predicate, Cook (1971:65). In a clause is a pair or group of words that consist of a
although in some
explicitly as a
(18)
consists of a single clause; more complicated sentences may contain multiple clauses, including clauses contained within clauses.
Based on the distribution of the unit, clause can be classified into two parts; those are dependent clause and independent clause.
2.3.1 Independent Clause
An independent clause is complete in itself; it can stand alone as a simple sentence, Cook (1971:65). Independent clauses are such clauses the effective root nodes of which are not dependent on any part of any other clause. Independent clause divides in two parts; verbal and non-verbal clause.
2.3.1.1 Verbal Clause
Verbal clauses are such clauses the governing node (predicate) of which is a finite verb form, Cook (1971:65).
Example:
1. All the detective reported 2. Germany
what they had seen. defeated
The words that underlined in two sentences (reported and defeated) are verbal predicate.
France in the semifinal World Cup Championship.
(19)
Non-verbal clauses are such clauses the governing node (predicate) of which is not a verb, Cook (1971:65).
Example:
1. John is a man 2. The boy
. is good
The words that underlined in two sentencces (is a man and is good) are non verbal form. ‘Is a man’ is a noun verb and ‘is good’ is an adjective verb.
.
2.3.2 Dependent Clause
Dependent clause is necessarily related to an independent clause and dependent clause always started by a conjunction, Cook (1971:66). Dependent clauses are such clauses the effective root nodes of which are dependent on a part of another clause.
The dependent clause divided into three parts they are adjective, noun and adverb clause, so-called for their syntactic and semantic resemblance to nouns, adjectives, and adverbs, respectively.
2.3.2.1 Noun Clause
1. That we should fail is impossible 2. I know what his name is
In the first sentence, ‘that we should fail’ is a dependent clause. It is used as the subject of the sentence, so it is called a noun clause, Cook (1971:66). In the second sentence, the dependent clause ‘what his name is’ used as the object of the verb know, is also a noun clause.
(20)
Noun clause is often introduced by that, whether, what. For example the uses of noun clauses:
1. That fire burns is one of the first lessons of childhood 2. I think that he will come tomorrow
3. My going there depends upon whether my friend will give his consent. 4. You may call him what you wish.
2.3.2.2Adjective Clause
1. A man who has courage will not desert his friend 2. A friend who helps you in time of need is a real friend
In the first sentence, ‘who has courage’ is a dependent clause. It used like an adjective modifying the subject man, so it is called an adjective clause, Cook (1971:67). In the second, ‘who helps you in time of need’, modifying the subject friend, is also an adjective clause.
Adjective clauses are mostly introduced by the pronouns who, which; others by adverbs like where, whether.
For example the uses of adjective clauses: 1. Men who are wise seldom speak.
2. This picture is sent me by my friend who lives in Nanking 3. The ponies which come from Mongolia are strong
4. The castle where I was born lies in ruins
(21)
1. The birds begin to sing when day dawns.
2. If any disputes arises, they apply to him for the decision.
In the first sentence, ‘when day dawns’ is a subordinate clause. It is used like an adverb modifying the predicate begins; so it is called an adverbial clause, Cook (1971:68). In the second, ‘if any dispute arises,’ modifying the predicate apply is also an adverbial clause.
Adverbial clauses are often introduced by the conjunctions when, if, wherever and than.
For example the uses of adverbial clauses: 1. He went wherever he wished
2. John will fix the porch when he has time 3. He can run faster than you
(22)
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
One of the essentials of scientific studies in analyzing the problems is a having method of analysis. In this thesis, I apply the library research to get supporting information related to the topic of the analysis. As the object or the data of this analysis, I take seven dates dailies newspapers from The Jakarta Post Newspaper; I chose the dates of the newspaper from 1st
-
7th September 2009.Here are the steps in writing this thesis;
1) Firstly, all the newspapers are collected.
2) Secondly, all newspapers of The Jakarta Post Newspaper which contain clauses are chosen.
3) Thirdly, all newspapers are selected as the sample of the analysis.
4) From all newspapers neither Politic and Sport article from the newspapers, I only select one page from all newspapers and from the articles that chosen as the data to find the clauses
(23)
5) Then, the lines which have clauses are chosen.
6) I only put ten sentences as the maximum data from each of the cattegories of clauses that found in Politic and Sport articles of all the newspapers 7) Next, each type of clauses are classified then described them.
8) Finally, the results of the analysis are collected.
3.1 Research Design
This study will be done by using descriptive qualitative approach. A qualitative approach is defined as a description of observation which is not ordinarily expressed in quantitative terms. It is not suggested the numerical measures are never used, but other means of description are emphasized. Nazir (1998:64) says that descriptive method is a method of research that makes the description of the situation of event or occurrence. So, this method only performs the more basic accumulative data. Therefore, descriptive design is a research design which is intended only to describe the variable.
3.2 Data Collecting Method
Population is the whole number of the subjects or people under observation in a research, Arikunto (1992:102). The population of this research is the whole newspapers of The Jakarta Post Newspaper. Then, as the sample of this analysis, I take seven dates newspaper by applying purposive sample method, as proposed by Sutrisno (2004:91) who said:
(24)
“ Dalam purposive sampling, pemilihan sekelompok subjek didasarkan pada ciri-ciri atau sifat-sifat populasi yang sudah diketahui sebelumnya. Purposive sampling didasarkan atas informasi yang mendahului tentang populasi dan informasi ini tidak dapat diragukan lagi.”
So, in choosing the sample as the data of the analysis, I will choose seven dates newspapers which support the analysis. The seven dates samples will provide examples for each clauses that will be analyzed.
3.3 Data Analyzing Method
The process of analyzing the data, it has done in grouped. First of all, the whole data from the newspapers will be divided. Then, the data will be grouped according to the kinds of each clause. For example, the first term is about Independent clause, so I will collect all the examples of verbal clauses from all the data and put them in a group. The same thing will be done for other clauses.
In this thesis I only want to show kinds or the categories that found in The Jakarta Post newspaper but not to showing the function.
(25)
CHAPTER IV
