CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents background of the study, problem of the study, objective of the study, scope of the study, significance of the study, and definition of the key terms.
1.1Background of the study
Language is the institutions whereby humans communicate and interact with each other by means of habitually used and oral auditory arbitrary symbols (Halls, 1968: 158). The language is a main tool to communicate in human lives, either individually or socially. Individually, the language is a tool to express ideas and feelings to everybody. In other words, language is used as a system of communication and interaction in a society.
Talking about language, we can not separate it from sentences. We use sentences both in written and in spoken. Langan (2003: 100) states that sentence is a group of word that has a subject and a verb and must express a complete thought. A sentence is usually a grammatically complete statement tied together and conveys an idea, event, or description. A sentence is a unit of expression; it arranges the part of speech to mirror a perception or an understanding. Word clusters named nominal, verbal, adjective, and adverbial are combined to from the sentence. A sentence can include words grouped meaningfully to express a statement, question, exclamation, request or command. There are four different sentences types according to the
(16)
number of clauses they contain: simple sentence, compound sentence, complex sentence, and compound-complex sentence.
We find that a simple sentence has one clause. We always combine two simple sentences or more to make them easy in sharing the information and stress some means. The combination of two simple sentences or more is a called a compound sentence (McClelland and Marcotte, 2003:131).
A compound sentence is composed of at least two independent clauses, does not require a dependent clause. The clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction (with or without a comma), a correlative conjunction (with or without a comma), a semicolon that functions as a conjunction, a colon instead of a semicolon between two sentences when the second sentence explains or illustrates the first sentence and no coordinating conjunction is being used to connect the sentences, or a conjunctive adverb preceded by a semicolon. A conjunction can be used to make a compound sentence. Conjunctions are words such as for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so (the first letters of which spell "fanboys"). The use of a comma to separate two independent clauses without the addition of an appropriate conjunction is called a comma splice and is generally considered an error (when used in the English Language).
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_sentence)
When we write the compound sentence, we must be careful. The ideas in the two simple sentences must be closely related in thought. If the two ideas are not closely related in thought, the new sentence is not correct or wrong.
Kaplan (1995: 134) states that the term of grammar is often used to a particular body of information about a language. A grammar is a way of describing what a language does. It has something to do with the structure of words and sentences. The language used in the drama or play is to present the grammar and the exact meaning of language. And the compound sentence in the drama plays the important rule in the sentence in order to make the reader understand the idea of it’s contain.
(17)
The writer of this thesis is interested in choosing compound sentences in the play Death of a salesman written by Arthur Miller as the topic of her thesis. Because, when she read this play, she usually does not care about the structure. She does not know what kind of compound sentence that the author uses and do not understand how to form a compound sentence, and why the compound sentences used in this play. Besides she stills many difficulties in developing and using sentences in speaking and writing.
Finally, the research of this thesis focuses on the compound sentence that can be traced in the play written by Arthur Miller entitled Death of a Salesman. The writer found so many compound sentences used in the dialogue, especially in the prologue.
1.2Problem of the study
Based on the description in the Background of the Study above, some problems are formulated as follows:
a. What forms of compound sentences are found in Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman?
b. Which form of compound sentence is the most dominant used and how are they applied in Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman?
(18)
1.3Objectives of the study
Objective of a study is a statement about the activities and objects which are going to be analyzed based on the problem of the analysis. Based on the statement of the problem, the writer thinks that are some objective of analyzing the topic such as:
a. To find out the forms of compound sentences are used in Arthur Miller’s play
Death of a Salesman.
b. To find out the most dominant form of compound sentences and to describes the usage of it in Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman.
1.4Scope of the study
The analysis of this thesis is limited on the form of compound sentences used in Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman and their three forms such as, compound sentence with coordinate conjunction, compound sentence with conjunctive adverb, and compound sentence with punctuation of semicolon.
1.5Significance of the study
The significance of the study contains theoretical and practical use. Theoretically, to enrich knowledge about sentences especially compound sentence including how to make each forms of compound sentence. Practically, this thesis will be useful for next research as a sources or reference in doing other thesis.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1SENTENCE AND CLAUSE 2.1.1 A Brief Note on Sentence
A sentence is normally defined as a word or group of words that has a subject and a verb and must expresses a complete thought (Langan, 2003:100). The subject includes the noun or pronoun that tells what the subject is about and what the sentence says about the subject is called the verb (Langan, 2003:231).
Examples: Most students failed the test Subject Verb
.
The bus arrived shortly Subject Verb
.
Ninda learnt French at school Subject Verb
.
Webster (1935: 280) gives a comprehensive definition of sentences that a sentences is a group of words so related as to convey a complete thought with the force of asserting something or of asking, commanding, exclaiming or wishing structurally considered as a group of words forming one or more predications (in the latter case either linked in a series or subordinated one another). From quotation
(20)
above, there are four kinds of sentences (Wren &Martin, 1990:1): declarative, exclamatory, interrogative, and imperative.
2.1.1.1 Declarative or Assertive Sentence
A declarative sentence is sentence that makes a statement or assertion. The declarative sentence ends with a period mark (.). It is the common type of sentence used. In a declarative sentence, the subject and predicate have normal word order. The declarative sentence can be divided into two types: affirmative and negative sentence.
- Affirmative is a sentence which stated the positive statement. Examples: - My best friend is a diligent
-
student. The poem is very difficult
-
. She has a good memor
- Negative is the sentence which stated the denial statement. y.
Examples: - I can’t read them without my -
glasses. She is not a
-
student.
There are no pictures in this book.
2.1.1.2 Interrogative Sentence
Interrogative sentence is sentence which asks a question and it needs an answer. The sentence ends with a question mark (?) in writing. The interrogative sentence can be divided into two: yes/no question and informative sentence.
(21)
Examples: - Do you go to the movie -
? Did you see the movie last night
- Informative question is a question that needs the information as the answer. ?
Examples: - How much does it cost
-? Where do you live?
2.1.1.3 Imperative Sentence
Imperative sentence is a sentence which states the command or request. In imperative sentence, only the predicate is expressed. The simple form of the verb is used. The imperative sentence ends with a period in written language and a drop in pitch in spoken.
Examples: - Shut the door -
! (command)
Could you close the book? (request)
2.1.1.4 Exclamatory Sentence
Exclamatory sentence is a sentence which expresses a feeling of amazement, a surprise or even a compliment of something. In written language, the exclamatory sentence ends with an exclamatory mark (!). In spoken language, the important word in exclamatory phrase may receive a stronger degree of stress and be accompanied by a rise in pitch.
(22)
2.1.2 A Brief Note on Clause
A clause may be defined in the same way as a sentence; it is simply a word having a subject and a verb (Langan, 2003:120). There are two kinds of clauses: - Independent clause: it has one subject part and one predicate part, it expresses a
complete thought and it can stand alone. We can say the independent clause is also simple sentence.
Example: - My brother studies very hard
The subject part is (my brother) and the predicate part (studies very hard). .
It express a complete thought and can not stand alone.
- Dependent clause: it is a group of words that contains a unit of subject and a unit of verb but does not expresses a complete thought, in another word it cannot stand alone (Miller, 1952: 255). Example:
- After the basketball game was over
The subject part is (the basketball) and the predicate part is (was over). It can not stand alone and it must be combined with independent clause to make a complete thought.
.
Based on the number and kind of clauses within a sentence, sentences in English are traditionally described as simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex (2003: 139). Each is explained below:
2.1.2.1Simple Sentence
A simple sentence consists of a single independent clause with no dependent clauses. For example:
(23)
- Dina fixes a camera.
2.1.2.2Compound Sentence
A compound sentence is made up of two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (Laidlaw, 1987: 88). For example:
- Dina fixes her camera and she will give it to Reni.
2.1.2.3 Complex Sentence
A complex sentence is made up of a simple sentence (a complete statement) and a statement that begins with a dependent word/ dependent clause (Langan, 2003: 142). Here is a list of common words according to Langan (2003:142):
Dependent Words
After if, even if when, whenever although, though in order that where, wherever as since whether
because that, so that which, whichever before unless while
even though until who how what, wherever whose
For Example:
(24)
2.1.2.4 Compound-Complex Sentence
A compound-complex sentence is made up of two (or more) simple sentences and one (or more) dependent statements (Langan, 2003:146). For example:
- Dina fixes a camera and she will give it to Reni because her father buys a new camera.
2.2 COMPOUND SENTENCE
A sentence will be called “compound” when it consists of two or more independent clauses. A compound sentence is a sentence that contains two principal or main clauses, with or without subordinate clauses (Miller, 1952: 255). It can be said that a compound sentence is made up of two or more complete thoughts (Langan, 2003:53). It is mostly used in reading and writing a text. For example, look at the following sentences below:
- The man is so poor -
. He is honest
These two simple sentences can be combined to form one compound sentence. .
- The man is so poor but he is honest
The two complete statements in a compound sentence are usually connected by a comma plus a joining, or coordinating word (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so), or with a semicolon (;) and sometimes use subordinate conjunction.
.
We know that a sentence is the combination of clauses. The clauses from simple sentences join with subordinate clauses to make compound sentence. The dorms of compound sentences are marked with:
(25)
2.2.1 Coordinate Conjunction
Coordinate conjunction is ways of showing the exact relationship of ideas within a sentence. And a coordinate conjunction is a conjunction that joins sentences of equal rank or it joins words that stand in the same relation to some other word in the sentence (Langan, 2003:147). Put a comma plus a joining word (also known as a coordinating conjunction), such as and, or, but, for, nor, so, yet.
A coordinate process gives the balance of writing by bringing together related independent clauses. Each of the coordinate conjunction has a different meaning and function. There are several conjunction according to Langan (2003:537):
COORDINATE CONJUNCTION
MEANING FUNCTION
And But For Nor Or So Yet
In addition to However As a result
Negative Choice Therefore
However
To link idea To contrast ideas To show case
To reinforce negative To show possibilities To show result
To show contrast or difference
2.2.2 Punctuation of Semicolon
A semicolon is a comma and period combined with this mark (;). The semicolon (;) is made up of a period above comma and sometimes called a strong comma. The semicolon signals more of a pause than a comma alone but not quite the
(26)
full pause of a period (Langan, 2003:126). It shows that first word in the clause after the semicolon begins with a small later. A semicolon may appear before a coordinate conjunction or join clauses if there is already internal punctuation within one or more of the clauses.
A semicolon is used to do the following (Langan, 2003: 331):
- Join two complete thoughts that are not already connected by a joining word such as and, but, for, or, and so.
Example: She lives in Malaysia; her mother lives in London
- Join two complete thoughts that include a transitional word such as however, moreover, therefore, furthermore, otherwise.
.
There is a list common transitional word (also known as Adverbial Conjunction). Brief meanings are given for the words according to Langan (2003: 236):
(27)
TRANSITIONAL WORD MEANING
however nevertheless on the other hand instead meanwhile otherwise indeed in addition also moreover furthermore as a result thus consequently therefore but however however as a substitute
in the intervening time under other conditions in fact
in addition in addition in addition
as a result as a result as a result
Example: Ratna always does her homework every night; however she forgets this night.
- Join independent clauses when one or both clauses contain comma. Examples: She is a lazy, dishonest girl; and we all hate her.
2.2.3 Conjunctive Adverb
Conjunctive adverb, like coordinate conjunction and punctuation of semicolon, are used to connect basic sentence patterns and make compound
(28)
sentence. The conjunctive adverbs which join independent clauses behave both as conjunctions and as adverbs. As conjunctions, they have the function of connecting grammatical structures. (Frank, 1972: 226) states that if conjunctive adverb as adverb, it both provides transitional adverbial meanings and have the ability of filling adverbial positions. It means that conjunctive adverb connects the structures of independent clauses. Example:
- Nina really like mango, besides she also likes apple
The conjunctive adverb (besides) connects the first independent clauses with the second independent clauses. It means that conjunctive adverb explains the independent clauses in a sentence.
.
Frank also states that the conjunctive adverbs are listed under the relationship they show. Frank gives the relationship between conjunctive adverb and coordinate conjunction (1972:227):
No Conjunctive Adverb Function Corresponding Coordinate Conjunction
1.
2.
3.
Besides, likewise, moreover, furthermore, and in addition
Accordingly, consequently, hence, then, therefore, as a result, of for the reason
Then, subsequently, meanwhile,
Addition
Result
Time
And
So
(29)
4.
afterward, earlier, and later
However, nevertheless, still, nonetheless, conversely, otherwise, instead, in contrast, or
on the other hand.
Contrast (concession)
But, yet
Conjunctive adverbs joining clauses are punctuated in the same way as other adverbs. It is a guide by whether we would pause in speech. Example:
(30)
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1Research Method
The essential part in analyzing problem is to have method of the analysis. In his thesis, the writer uses the descriptive qualitative method. Descriptive qualitative method is a method of analysis by describing and analyzing the data and then giving interpretative and explanation. The writer applies library research to get supporting information related to the topic of analysis.
The data is taken from the play with purposive sampling. Bungin (2001:118) says “Tekhnik Purposive Sampling ini digunakan berdasarkan pengetahuan yang jeli terhadap populasi, maka unit-unit yang dianggap “kunci”, diambil sebagai sample penelitian.” (This purposive sampling is used according to acculate understanding about population, therefore only the “key” are collected as research sample).
The writer chose the whole act in the play (two acts). Then from the whole acts, the writer takes the data from the first to the tenth pages each of the selected acts for coordinate conjunction, while the data for compound sentence with punctuation of semicolon and conjunctive adverb are from two acts.
3.2Source Data
The data of this study are play written by Arthur Miller entitled Death of a salesman. The writer chose the whole act in the play (two acts). Then from the whole acts, the writer takes the data from the first to the tenth pages each of the selected
(31)
acts for coordinate conjunction, while the data for compound sentence with punctuation of semicolon and conjunctive adverb are from two acts.
The books that used by the writer are Sentence Skills and English Skills with Reading by Jhon Langan, Modern English: Exercise for Noun-Native Speakers by Marcella Frank, and High School English Grammar & composition by Wren & Martin.
3.3Data Collecting Method
The writer tries to analyze the data by collecting some references which are related to this thesis. There are some steps that the writer has done to analyze the data:
First of all, the writer collects the data about compound sentences Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman. Secondly, the writer chooses sentences which grouped as compound sentences and give the underline on the sentences. Thirdly, those sentences will be classified based on the form. Fourthly, the writer writes down the form of compound sentences to be analyzed.
3.4Data Analyzing Method
After collecting the data, the writer tries apply a theory to describe compound sentences with their forms and the function. Then, the writer analyzes the most dominant form of compound sentence in Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman
(32)
X x 100% = N Y
X = Number of type of compound sentence Y = Total number of all items
(33)
CHAPTER IV
ANALYSIS AND FINDING
This chapter consists of analysis and finding of the research. The analysis is about forms of compound sentence found in Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman. It is necessary to find out the most dominant form of compound sentence.
This analysis will be formed in a table for each variable (type of compound sentence), the table contains chapter, pages, and line in a single column to make it is easy in relating the data to the play Death of a Salesman and also containing the analysis of the compound sentence in a single column.
