CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULT AND FINDINGS

This chapter contains the results of document analysis. This chapter is divided into two sections. The first section contains analysis of the students‟ verb phrase errors. The second section contains the sources of the verb phrase errors made by the participants.

A. The Students’ Verb Phrase Error

This section contains the data presentation of the verb phrase errors and the discussion of the verb phrase errors. The data presentation of the verb phrase contains all of the data found in the participants‟ speech. The discussion of the verb phrase errors contains the explanation of the verb phrase errors that the participant made.

1. Data Presentation of the Verb Phrase Error

The researcher collected data which were in the form of a speech contained in the videos. He watched and transcribed the selected videos to be able to analyze the data. After he watched and transcribed the selected videos, he made a list of utterances of the verb phrase errors occurred in those videos. Those listed utterances contained the verb phrase errors made by the participants. The researcher only analyzed the verb phrase errors. The errors that were not related to the verb phrases would be ignored. The researcher classified the errors into ten classifications. There are three taxonomies used in this research i.e. 30 the surface structure taxonomy, the comparative taxonomy, and the communicative taxonomy. The classifications of the surface structure taxonomy were omission, addition, misformation, misordering. The classifications of the comparative taxonomy were developmental errors, interlingual errors, ambiguous errors, other errors. The global errors and local errors were the communicative taxonomy. There were 117 utterances containing the verb phrase errors. The researcher found that there were at least two verb phrase errors in each utterance. The list of errors can be seen in Appendix C. There were 355 verb phrase errors occurring in the participants‟ speech. The number of the verb phrase errors can be seen in Table 4.1 and Figure 4.1.
