Interpretation of Taxis and Logical Semantic Systems
45 secondary clause elaborates the meaning of the primary clause. The examples of
hypotactic elaboration relation from both texts are as follows: Data A.29 α
Indonesia AirAsia is 49 percent [[owned by Malaysia-based budget carrier AirAsia]],
=β whose shares fell nearly 5 percent today.
Data B.11 α
The second priority zone, which is 10 by 10 nautical miles in
size, =β
is outside the initial search area. Both secondary clauses are dependent and they form a hypotactic elaboration
relation. It is showed by a non-restrictive relative clause with a marker whose and which.

Logical Relation Text A
Text B Paratactic Extension
6 13.33
3 8.82
Text A has more paratactic extension relation compared to text B. It shows that text A minimally has more clause complexes which the independent secondary
clause extends the meaning of the primary clause by adding something new rather than text B. The examples of paratactic extension relation from both texts are as
follows: Data A .19
1 “The seas haven’t been very friendly,
+2 but the black boxes have a 30-day life
+3 and they will be
able to find them,”
46 Data B.6
1 “Then I asked about the weather condition there
+2 and they turned up to be conducive.
Data A.19 produces two parallel relation by markers but and then, while data B.6 only makes one relation by a marker and. This relation is paratactic extension
due to additive and adversative conjunctions.

For hypotactic elaboration relation, text B has a significantly higher number compared to text A. It shows that text B has more clause complexes which dependent
secondary clause extends the meaning of the primary clause by adding something new rather than text B. The examples of hypotactic extension relation from both texts
are as follows: Data A.8
α The recorders are housed in the tail section of the Airbus,
+β making retrieval of that part of the aircraft crucial.
Data B.24 α
Jou Christine Yuanita was a 62-year-old female, +β
while Soetikno Sia was a 60-year-old male. Gerund in data A.8 classifies the secondary clause as a non-finite clause so it
is hypotactic. Marker while in data B.24 makes up a finite hypotactic clause. Both relations are extension because the secondary clause extends the meaning of the
primary clause.

Both text A and text B have the same number of paratactic enhancement relation. It simply shows that both texts have the same number of clause complexes
which the independent secondary clause is a circumstantial information enhancing the meaning of the primary clause. The paratactic enhancement relations from both
texts are as follows: Data A.15 1
that pilots must have a face-to-face briefing with a flight
operation officer x2
so the briefing officer will know [[the pilot is in a healthy
condition and so on]] ,”
Data B.3 1
…. using its side-scan sonar system x2
and then the image from the side-scan sonar was confirmed
by multibeam echosounder,” The paratactic relations are identified from markers so and and then. The
relations are also an enhancement because the secondary clauses are circumstantial information. They are a cause-effect and a temporal relationship.

In text A, the number hypotactic enhancement relation is higher compared to text B. It indicates that text A has more clause complexes which dependent
secondary clause is a circumstantial information enhancing the meaning of the primary clause. The examples of hypotactic enhancement relation from both texts are
as follows: Data A.6
α He was speaking
xβ after his ship returned to the port in Surabaya today,
Data B.20 α Also on Wednesday, the East Java Police’s Disaster Victim
Identification DVI identified eight more bodies [[found near the site]]
xβ where the AirAsia jet was thought to have crashed
The hypotactic relations are identified from markers after and where. The relations are also an enhancement because the secondary clauses are circumstantial
information. They are both a temporal relationship.

49 Text B has more paratactic locution relation compared to text A. It shows that
text B has more clause complexes which the independent primary clause projects the independent secondary clause by using a verbal process rather than text A. The
examples of paratactic locution relation from both texts are as follows: Data A.26 1
“Please differentiate between the probe into flight licenses and the air crash investigation,
“2 he said.
Data B.14 1 “The blackboxes are kept at the bottom part of the tail
section of the plane,” “2
Ruth told the Jakarta Post on Wednesday.
The data obviously shows a locution relation from a verbal process said and told. The relation is paratactic since the secondary clauses are projected by being
quoted and the clauses are reversible.

For hypotactic locution relation, text A has a significantly higher number compared to text B. It shows that text A has more clause complexes which the
independent primary clause projects the dependent secondary clause by using a verbal process rather than text B. The examples of hypotactic locution relation from
both texts are as follows: Data A.3

It also announced
50 =β
it was tightening rules on pre-flight procedures. Data B.12
α Former KNKT investigation Ruth Hanna Simatupang said
=β the discovery of tail section could make it easier for the SAR
team [[to locate the plane’s blackboxes]]. The data above also obviously shows a locution relation from a verbal
process announced and said. The relation is hypotactic since the secondary clauses are projected by being reported and the clauses are irreversible.
i Paratactic Idea Both text A and text B do not have any paratactic idea relation. It simply
indicates that there is no clause complex which the independent primary clause projects the independent secondary clause by using a mental process.

Text B has covered only a small number of hypotactic idea relations whereas text A does not contain any. It shows that text B minimally has little clause
complexes which the independent primary clause projects the dependent secondary clause by using a mental process while text A does not have any. The hypotactic idea
relation from text B is as follow: Data B.20
α ….where the AirAsia jet was thought
‘β to have crashed
51 The data above shows an idea relation from a mental process thought. The
relation is hypotactic since the non-finite secondary clauses are projected by being reported and the clauses are irreversible.
