The Objectives of the Study

constructions are categorized into nine types: motion, benefactive, manner, instrument, aspect, causative, locative, purpose, and synonym. There are some similarities between her research and my research. Apart from the different dialects of Sasak language analyzed, the difference can also be seen from the approach used to analyze the data, in which syntactically her research used the traditional model of typological approach, while my research used typology and lexical-functional grammar LFG approach. In this research, I explain the constituent structures c-str and functional stucture f-str of Sasak serial verb constructions which have not been discussed yet in any other studies of Sasak serial verb constructions. Sixth, Liswayuningsih 2011 discussed the phenomena of the use of serial verb constructions in Indonesian and their equivalents in English. The data were taken from Laskar Pelangi and The Rainbow Troops. There are eight categories of Indonesian V-V constructions found which are cause-effect, motion, direction, instrumental, motion or posture, manner, synonymic, and aspect. Her research has a similarity with my research especially on the topic which is serial verb constructions. However, this research is different from my research since she analyzed the phenomena of the use of serial verb constructions in Indonesian and their equivalents in English with the data taken from an Indonesian novel and its translation into English novel. Meanwhile, my research discussed serial verb constructions in Sasak using the theory of typology and LFG theory with the data taken in form of sentences from utterances of Sasak speakers. Furthermore, Subiyanto 2013 analyzed complex predicates in Javanese from the syntactic aspect and pragmatic aspect, especially information structure in his dissertation. The results of his research show that complex predicates in Javanese can be distinguished into nine types, namely 1 movement, 2 manner, 3 comitative, 4 instrument, 5 posture, 6 commitment, 7 causative, 8 cause-effect, and 9
