ABSTRACT
This paper entitled Conjunctions and Their Functions in Novel “Dwellers
of the Night” by Anthony Barnhart. The aims of this paper is to analyse the types
and the function of conjunction which are used in the novel. The conjunctions
were taken from the English novel entitled “Dwellers of the Night” by Anthony
Barnhart (2011). The data was collected through library research. In completing
the process of collecting the data, note-taking technique was applied. The
collected data were analyzed descriptively.
The main theory used in this paper is theory of conjunction by Halliday
and Hassan in their book “Cohesion in English” (1976), the theories include the

types of conjunction. This paper also uses theory by Stern, in His book Outline of
English Grammar with Exercises and Aswer Key (2003) to explain the functions
of conjunctions.
There are two conclusions stated here, based on the problems which were
analysed. First, the finding shown the four types of conjunctions proposed by
Halliday and Hassan, those are: additive, adversative, causal, and temporal.
Second, the conjunction in this novel have different function, those are:
conjunction joins one word to another, conjunction joins one phrase to another,
conjunction joins one clause to another, and conjunction joins one sentence to
another.
Key words: conjunction, additive, adversative, causal, and temporal.
