CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In this chapter, the writer discusses the related literature which becomes the basis of the study. This chapter is divided into two parts. The first part is
Theoretical Description, which involves some important theories related to the research. The second part is Theoretical Framework, which provides the summary
of the specific theories which are used as the guideline to answer the problems.
A. Theoretical Description
There are three points to be discussed in the Theoretical Description. They are interrogative sentences, Bloom’s Taxonomy theories, and Bloom’s levels
learning characteristics.
1. Interrogative Sentences
In English language, there are two types of questions. The first is the YesNo question. This question expects an answer which is Yes or No. The
second is WH-questions which is also known as interrogative questions. According to Quirk 1972, interrogative questions are questions that contain
question words who, what, how, etc and expect a reply supplying the missing information posited by the WH-questions.
Besides those definitions, there are also differences between the YesNo questions and the WH-interrogative questions. Krohn 1977 in English Structure
Sentence explained the comparison between YesNo questions and WH-questions by giving example as in figure 2.1.
Figure 2.1. The Comparison between YesNo Questions and W-H Questions
STATEMENT: John likes
coffee. YESNO QUESTIONS:
Does John like coffee? what
W-H QUESTIONS: Does John like coffee?
What does John like?
As explained in the figure above, the biggest difference between YesNo and WH-questions is the precence of a question word within the question. WH-
questions always include a question word at the beginning of the question, while the YesNo questions do not use any question word at the beginning of the
question. The types of the question word used in the sentence are based on the purpose of the question.
If the statement uses verb be, the pattern of YesNo and WH-question becomes as in figure 2.2.
