A. Review on Related Studies
In order to support the analysis, some related studies which more or less have the same topic or theme with this study are used. Those related studies are
taken from other undergraduate theses and will be helpful for additional understanding of the researcher.
1. Study of Stylistics
In her thesis entitled A Stylistic Analysis on Linguistic Features of News Title in The Jakarta Post on August 19, 2007 Issues
, Nani Tato Kamba discussed about using stylistic analysis on linguistic features of news title in The Jakarta
Post which was published on August 19, 2007 and the effects of those news title
to the reader. In her research, Nani Tato Kamba focused on the news title of an issue of a
newspaper. She gathered the news title then analyzed them by finding out the
6 linguistic features. The data then were classified based on the linguistic features
they had to see the most common features. After seeing the most common linguistic features, she analyzed the effect of those features to show the effect of
linguistic features to the text. In her conclusion she said that,
The linguistic features affect the news titles. The graphological features affect the ease of reading, the phonological features give a certain rhythm to
the news titles that makes them memorable, the grammatical features make the news titles can be understood clearly, and the lexical features help in
economizing space-use and beautify the news titles. 2007:73
The study which was conducted this time is different than the study above. The study by Nani Tato Kamba used news title of a newspaper as the object of its
study. This study used the article of a football magazine of a certain issue as the object of the study.
2. Study of Sport News
Another study that is going to be reviewed is a study by Johanes Trihartanto. In his thesis Linguistic Features Used in the News Titles of Sport News in the
Jakarta Post Newspaper of 2-6 March 2009 Editions, Johanes Trihartanto
discussed linguistic features of news title in sport column of The Jakarta Post of 2-6 March 2009 editions.
In his study, Johanes Trihartanto focused on identifying the linguistic features of the news title. The linguistic features that were going to be analyzed
were stated in his problem formulation. The linguistic features were: graphological features, phonological features, grammatical features, and lexical
features. In order to analyze the news title and answer his questions, he collected
7 theories of linguistic features and used those theories to identify and analyze the
linguistic features of the news title. In the end, he concluded his research part by part. In the first part,
graphological feature, there were various font size and font family used in the news title. Second part, phonological features, he said that it is common to find
combination of phonological features in one news title. Third part, grammatical features, there were certain tenses to be used to change a word and some word
categories were omitted. The last part, lexical feature, he stated that various lexical features were stated in news title. 2010:67
The similarity of the study above and the study conducted this time is that it discusses about sport news in a mass media. However, even though they discuss
about sport, the object of the study between these two studies are different. The study above discusses news title in a newspaper while the study conducted this
time discusses columns in sport magazine.
