Data Analysis Method of the Study
the clitic. However, it is also possible to have more than one clitic in a sentence. We can see the example below:
3-HET24Cal88
She’s one of the most stylish woman I’ve met in my life.
3-HET24Cal89 She’s one of the most stylish woman
I’ve met in my life.
In 3-HET24Cal88 and 3-HET24Cal89, we can see that there are two clitics occurred in one sentence, she’s and I’ve. The two of them belong to the
same type, auxiliary reduction. Nevertheless, it is still possible to have different types of cliticization in a same sentence. Take a look at the example beneath:
3-HE101MM3639
It’s always a good idea to have your eyes on the road when you’re driving,
but what if something happens that isn’t your
wrongdoing, and
the only
eyewitness is you?
3-HE101MM3640 It’s always a good idea to have your
eyes on the road when you’re driving, but what if something happens that isn’t
your
wrongdoing, and
the only
eyewitness is you?
3-HE101MM3641 It’s always a good idea to have your
eyes on the road when you’re driving, but what if something happens that
isn’t your wrongdoing, and the only eyewitness is you?
According to the example 3-HE101MM3639, 3-HE101MM3640, and 3-HE101MM3641, we can find three clitics in the same sentence which
one of them belongs to a different type. It’s and you’re belong to auxiliary reduction. On the other hand, isn’t belongs to negative contraction.
Based on the data, the researcher compiles all the clitics in the two magazines and classified them according to the types. Then, the researcher
compares three things which are based on the two magazines. First is the amount of clitics, second is the type of cliticization which is occurred the most, and third
is the cliticize word that exists the most compared to the other cliticize words. At the end, the data can be shown in a table as follows:
TYPES OF CLITICIZATION
OCCURENCES PERCENTAGE
Auxiliary reduction 75
75 Negative contraction
24 24
to- contraction 1
1 Pronominal clitics
TOTAL 100
100 Table 2. Types of cliticization in HighEnd magazine
In total HighEnd magazine has 100 clitics. From the number of occurrences shown above, we can see that auxiliary reduction is the largest
cliticization which occurred in the magazine. Negative contraction comes in second, and to- contraction comes in third. However, the researcher could not find
any types of pronominal clitics in it. A similar table for the comparison between the two magazines will be
presented as follows:
TYPES OF CLITICIZATION
OCCURENCES PERCENTAGE
Auxiliary reduction 187
74 Negative contraction
57 23
to- contraction 1
1 Pronominal clitics
5 2
TOTAL 250
100 Table 3. Types of cliticization in HighEnd Teen magazine
The above table is the comparison table for HighEnd Teen magazine. We can see that this magazine has more clitics compared to HighEnd. Even the
amount of clitics is more than double to previous magazine. However, this
magazine has a similarity. Auxiliary reduction and negative contraction come in first and second, same as the earlier. Also to- contraction have the same amount
with the previous magazine. On the contrary, HighEnd does not have any pronominal clitics, HighEnd Teen has five pronominal clitics which make that
type as the third largest clitics in it. Previously, a brief introductory for clitics forms are given. However, in
order to answer the first problem formulation in comprehensible explanations, the first analysis which discusses the forms of clitics occurred within the two
magazines will be specified in subchapters according to each types of cliticization. The researcher uses the theory of the forms suggested by Kim 1998:8. He states
that there are four types of cliticization: auxiliary reduction, negative contraction, to- contraction, and pronominal clitics.
