Non-verbal clauses are such clauses the governing node predicate of which is not a verb, Cook 1971:65.
Example: 1.
John is a man 2.
The boy .
is good The words that underlined in two sentencces is a man and is good are non
verbal form. ‘Is a man’ is a noun verb and ‘is good’ is an adjective verb. .
2.3.2 Dependent Clause
Dependent clause is necessarily related to an independent clause and dependent clause always started by a conjunction, Cook 1971:66. Dependent
clauses are such clauses the effective root nodes of which are dependent on a part
of another clause.
The dependent clause divided into three parts they are adjective, noun and adverb clause, so-called for their syntactic and semantic resemblance to nouns,
adjectives, and adverbs, respectively.
2.3.2.1 Noun Clause
1. That we should fail is impossible 2. I know what his name is
In the first sentence, ‘that we should fail’ is a dependent clause. It is used as the subject of the sentence, so it is called a noun clause, Cook 1971:66. In the
second sentence, the dependent clause ‘what his name is’ used as the object of the verb know, is also a noun clause.

Noun clause is often introduced by that, whether, what. For example the uses of noun clauses:
1. That fire burns
is one of the first lessons of childhood 2.
I think that he will come tomorrow 3.
My going there depends upon whether my friend will give his consent. 4.
You may call him what you wish.
2.3.2.2 Adjective Clause
1. A man who has courage will not desert his friend
2. A friend who helps you in time of need is a real friend
In the first sentence, ‘who has courage’ is a dependent clause. It used like an adjective modifying the subject man, so it is called an adjective clause,
Cook 1971:67. In the second, ‘who helps you in time of need’, modifying the subject friend, is also an adjective clause.
Adjective clauses are mostly introduced by the pronouns who, which; others by adverbs like where, whether.
For example the uses of adjective clauses: 1.
Men who are wise seldom speak. 2.
This picture is sent me by my friend who lives in Nanking 3.
The ponies which come from Mongolia are strong 4.
The castle where I was born lies in ruins

1. The birds begin to sing when day dawns.
2. If any disputes arises
, they apply to him for the decision. In the first sentence, ‘when day dawns’ is a subordinate clause. It is used
like an adverb modifying the predicate begins; so it is called an adverbial clause, Cook 1971:68. In the second, ‘if any dispute arises,’ modifying the predicate
apply is also an adverbial clause.
Adverbial clauses are often introduced by the conjunctions when, if, wherever
and than. For example the uses of adverbial clauses:
1. He went wherever he wished
2. John will fix the porch when he has time
3. He can run faster than you
4. If you have tears
, prepare to shed them now

3.1 Research Design
This study will be done by using descriptive qualitative approach. A qualitative approach is defined as a description of observation which is not
ordinarily expressed in quantitative terms. It is not suggested the numerical measures are never used, but other means of description are emphasized. Nazir
1998:64 says that descriptive method is a method of research that makes the description of the situation of event or occurrence. So, this method only performs
the more basic accumulative data. Therefore, descriptive design is a research design which is intended only to describe the variable.
3.2 Data Collecting Method
Population is the whole number of the subjects or people under observation in a research, Arikunto 1992:102. The population of this research is
the whole newspapers of The Jakarta Post Newspaper. Then, as the sample of this analysis, I take seven dates newspaper by applying purposive sample method, as
