Incomplete Rule Application Intralingual Interference

pattern or rule which leads to an error or inappropriate fom in the target language p. 205.

D. The Cause of Errors in Passive Voice

This section provides a general cause of errors in passive voice. The researcher concluded that the cause of errors in passive voice might be the intralingual error since the definition of intralingual error is the interference of the target language, in this case is English as the target language.

3. Intralingual Interference

Ellis and Barkhuizen 2005 divide the intralingual error into six strategies; false analogy, misanalysis, inclomplete rule application, exploiting redundancy, overlooking co-occurrence and system simplification. Intralingual errors are not related to the first language or mother tongue, but contributed by the target language itself. Incomplete rule application was concluded as the cause of passive voice error and it would be explained below.

a. Incomplete Rule Application

Incomplete rule application reflects errors as the result that the writer of the magazines does not fully understand a distinction of the target language. The writer assumed the wrong rules in second language L2 from the writer‟s known information. The examples in table 4.4 would be used in order to prove the statement. Table 4.4: The Examples of Incomplete Rule Application No. Types of Errors Types of Data Examples of Errors Frequency Percentage 1. Misformat ion Passive Voice 62aThe colossal performing of Ratu Boko Ballet which narrated about Prahara Pengging has been performanced. 63a Kotagede was founded being a capital city of Islamic. 21 35 It can be seen from the examples that the writer had acquired knowledge of passive voice. In sentence 63a, the writer used passive voice in the form of present perfect tense which contains of subject + havehas been + past participle. The error occurred in the past participlefounded instead of found.It occurred because the writer assumed that find belongs to regular verb that has final -ed, so the writer added final -ed. The writer would not use founded since founded is not belonging to any other part of speech. The correct past participle form for find is found . Overall, the researcher concluded that intralingual interference especially the incomplete rule application strategy might become the cause of the passive voice errors in Exploring Jogja Magazine I and II.
