1. Conclusions

This research was intended to provide information on the frequency and three structural features types, forms, and markers of nouns used in the opinion articles about Global Warming written by an Indonesian writer and a non- Indonesian newspaper writer. In order to get the information about those two main research problems, the researcher analyzed them in two ways. The analysis was conducted for every opinion article and also between two opinion articles. From the analysis, the researcher found the information to answer the research problems that are summarized below: 1. The frequency of nouns in the Indonesian opinion article was bigger than in the non-Indonesian opinion article because the Indonesian opinion article had 149 more words. With 149 more words, the Indonesian opinion article had 6 more nouns. In contrast, the non-Indonesian writer had one more compound noun than the other opinion article. 67 There were 5 specific nouns found in both opinion articles. These nouns were specific because the two writers used them in high frequency in their texts. So, these nouns were used to indicate the specification of them to the scientific topic Global Warming being discussed. From 5 nouns, 4 of them were compound nouns. So, it could be concluded that the specific nouns related with scientific topic used by both writers were usually in the compound type. The use of familiar nouns in opinion articles about Global Warming could be considered not really important. Both writers used familiar nouns in low frequency in their opinion articles. Both writers preferred compound noun type to common noun type in their opinion article about Global Warming. It was showed by the use of compound nouns as the specific nouns in the opinion articles. Moreover, the common nouns were found to be the familiar nouns. The Indonesian writer used more variety of singular and plural forms in his nouns. The determiners and prepositions in the Indonesian opinion article were more varied, but there were still many sentences that did not have markers. So, these sentences were marked based on 5 kinds of positions and functions. Otherwise, the non-Indonesian writer did not use more variation of nouns, determiners, and prepositions, the researcher only found one type of position and function to mark the sentences that did not have any marker. 2. From all of the analyses and comparison of both writers, the researcher concluded that the Indonesian opinion article indicated the ability to vary PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 68 vocabularies. The weakness found in the Indonesian opinion article was the ability to create sentences completed with markers. Otherwise, the strength of the non-Indonesian opinion article was on the selection of the right diction in the opinion article about a scientific topic such as Global Warming and to create sentences with the complete structural features. Overall, both writers share the same idea that the compound nouns were considered more frequent to be used in the opinion article related with a scientific topic.
