1.5.3 Method and Techniques of Analyzing Data
The method that applied to analyze the data was descriptive qualitative method. There were some steps in analyzing the data. First, the data of
derivational adjectives that had been collected were classified based on the suffixes forming them and then, analyzing the process of suffixes forming the
adjectives. Next was finding the clauses or phrases which contain derivational adjectives. Last step was analyzing the syntactical positions of Adjective by
using tree diagram.

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF LITERATURES, CONCEPTS, AND
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS
This chapter discusses three main topics, they are: review of literature which is important to compare this study to other studies, concept and the last is theoretical
framework which explains the theory that is used to solve the problems. 1.1
Review of Literature
There are many studies about morphosyntax. The previous studies reviewed here were taken from students’ thesis showing the differences among their studies,
which is presented in the following paragraph: The first review was about the study entitled English Adjectives in the Short
Story of the Colone l’s Lady by W. Somerset Maugham written by Suyastini 2007.
This study aroused two problems, they are: What are the forms of the English Adjectives and the positions of adjectives in phrases of simple sentences. The main
theory was applied by Quirk 1985. She used documentation and qualitative method. This study found two changing processes to form adjectives. They are derivational
process and inflectional process. In derivational process, there were suffixes to form adjectives, they are: -able, -ful, -al, -y, -less, -ly, -ive. There was inflectional process
found in the study: 14 in regular and 3 in irregular forms. There were 3 adjectives in comparative and 2 adjectives in superlative forms. The positions of adjectives in
phrases were only attributive and predicative. The difference is on the scope of
