CHAPTER II LITERARY REVIEW, CONCEPTS, THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

2.1 Literary Reviews

There are some studies from some previous students which are used as reviews in this study. Those studies have relevant topic with this study which will analyze about syntactic structure of relative clause. The first study was an undergraduate thesis “The Syntactic Function of Relative Clause with Reference to the Short Story The Counterfeiter By Yasushi Inoue” by Komang Helianti 2008 which analyzed the kind or types of relative clause which is found in the short story “The Counterfeiter” by Yasushi Inoue and described their syntactic function. The main theory usedwas the theory which was proposed by Quirk et al 1985 in his book A Comprehensive Grammar of The English Language . Her study focuses on identifying the types of the relative clause and their syntactic function, in which one type of relative clause has more than one syntactic function, for example: restrictive clause has a function as subjectobject of verbprepositional object etc. Her study is relevant with this study since both analyzed the types of relative clause and in analyzing the types both her study and this study use Quirk et al ’s theory 1985. The differences are: her study was analyzing the syntactic function whereas, this study analyzed the syntactic structure, and both also used different data source. The second studywas an undergraduate thesis by Saddaya Utama 2012 “The Syntactic Function of the Relative Clause with reference to “The Language of Love” by Gary Smalley and John Trente Ph.D” which aims to identify the kind or relative clause and to describe their syntactic function. The main theory used in analyzing the data was a theory which was proposed by Quirk et al 1985 in their book A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language. Besides that, some supporting theories were also used in analyzing the data, such as: A University English Grammar by Randolph Quirk 1973 and a theory by A.J. Thomson and A.V. Martinet 1986 Partical English Grammar.Moreover, tree diagram was alsoused in describing the function of relative clause. His study is relevant with thisstudy since both analyze the types of relative clause and also use the same theory, Quirk et al ’s theory 1985, in analyzing it. The differences are: first his study and this study were used different data source which cause a different result, secondhisstudy analyzed the syntactic function of relative clause, whereas this study analyzed the syntactic structure of relative clause. The third study was a n undergraduate thesis “The Analysis of Syntactic Structure in the Relative Clause with Reference to Steinbeck’s The Pearl” by Marlyn Ariesta 2014 which aims to identify the patterns, analyzed the structure and classified the types of relative clause fou nd in the novel “The Pearl” by Steinbeck. Chomsky’s theory 1971 and promoted by Murphy’s argument 1985 was usedin identifying the pattern of relative clause found in the data source, whereas, in analyzing the syntactic structure Chomsky’s theory 1971 Generative Transformation in his book Syntactic Structure was used and Radford’s theory in his book Transformational Syntax: A Student Guide to Chomsky’s Extended Theory 1988 was also used in analyzing the types of relative. Besides of those theories, some other theories were also used, those are: the theory proposed by Brown and Miller 1994: 17 in the concept of tree diagram, Chomsky’s theory
