1.5.3 Methods and Techniques of Analyzing Data
The method used in analyzing the data is descriptive qualitative method. The data were analyzed based on the theoretical framework of this study. The
analysis was focused on the types and syntactic structure of the relative clauses. There are some steps which were done in the techniques of analyzing data,
and those are as follows: 1.
Checking the note taking of the relative clauses which had been selected as samples of this study.
2. The relative clauses which had been selected were classified accordance to
their types. 3.
Analyzing the types of the relative clauses, each type was given a description and further explanation.
4. The grammatical structures of those clauses were analyzedbased on a
theory ofPhrase structure rule by Wekker and Haegman 1985 in their book A Modern Course in English Syntax. There were 5 sentences which
consist of relative clause that were chosen as the data in analyzing the syntactic structures of relative clause. Those sentences will be presented
using phrase structure rule and tree diagram. The phrase structure rule is used for mapping the phrase of a syntactic structure into a tree diagram.

CHAPTER II LITERARY REVIEW, CONCEPTS, THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
2.1 Literary Reviews
There are some studies from some previous students which are used as reviews in this study. Those studies have relevant topic with this study which will
analyze about syntactic structure of relative clause. The first study was an undergraduate thesis
“The Syntactic Function of Relative Clause with Reference to the Short Story The Counterfeiter By Yasushi
Inoue” by Komang Helianti 2008 which analyzed the kind or types of relative clause which is
found in the short story “The Counterfeiter” by Yasushi Inoue and described their syntactic function. The main theory usedwas the theory which was
proposed by Quirk et al 1985 in his book A Comprehensive Grammar of The English Language
. Her study focuses on identifying the types of the relative clause and their syntactic function, in which one type of relative clause has more
than one syntactic function, for example: restrictive clause has a function as subjectobject of verbprepositional object etc. Her study is relevant with this
study since both analyzed the types of relative clause and in analyzing the types both her study and this study use Quirk et al
’s theory 1985. The differences are: her study was analyzing the syntactic function whereas, this study analyzed the
syntactic structure, and both also used different data source. The second studywas an undergraduate thesis by Saddaya Utama 2012
“The Syntactic Function of the Relative Clause with reference to “The Language of Love” by Gary Smalley and John Trente Ph.D” which aims to identify the kind
