33 P = Percentage of logical semantic relation or taxis type
F = The number of particular type found in clause complexes N = The number of clause complexes data
After the type of logical semantic relation and its interdependence are identified, the dominant type of logical semantic relation and interdependence is
obtained. It is to know why that type of particular logical semantic relation appears rather than other types. Furthermore, it is interpreted to see the characteristics of the
newspaper text based on logical semantic relation and its interdependence.
3.5. Research Procedure
This research goes through a procedure. They are: 1. Preparation
This preparation includes the theory, the data, research procedure and data analysis.
2. Collecting the data The data are collected from the data source by following the data collection
procedure. It includes classifying between clauses and clause complexes. After that, all the data are displayed onto the workplace.
3. Analyzing the Data The data is analyzed by classifying the logical semantic relation type and its
interdependence type. Procedure of analyzing is as follows: a Each article is labeled A and B.

b Each sentence is numbered for each ranking clause, for example, A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, etc.
c Some items are excluded from the analysis of the data. They are: the titles, sub-
titles, reviews, images, captions of images, diagrams, timeline, authors’ name and source description.
d Each clause in each sentence is displayed in a table to ensure both clauses and clause complexes. Embedded clauses are put in double square brackets.
e Verbal elements or processes are underlined. f The interdependence relation is identified in each clause complex.
g Both markers and logical semantic relation of each clause complex is identified. The markers are typed in bold.
h After precisely occupying its position, a symbol of each category such as “2
paratactic locution, = elaboration, xβ hypotactic enhancement, etc is given to each clause complex.
i All the classification is served in a table. j Each category is calculated in percentage.
k The result of analysis is interpreted to obtain the findings.
