NP + Participial Phrase modified by Relative Clause Total 247 100 Of those three main patterns of post-noun modification shown in table 4.1, the most frequent pattern to occur in three speech transcripts delivered by Marty 53 Natalegawa is the pattern of noun phrase post-modified by prepositional phrase. From the findings, the researcher could find 180 noun phrases which have this pattern. Through this large proportion, the pattern of this noun phrase can be interpreted as the most common patterns occurring in the transcripts instead of those two post-noun modifications. Similarly, Leech Svartvik delineate prepositional phrase as the common type of post-modifier in English 1994, p.345. Besides, participial phrase is the second frequent pattern to occur as post- modifier in the transcripts. It has 36 noun phrases which have this pattern. Based Kolln Funk, the syntactic structures of participial phrase is usually after the prepositional phrase 2012, p.143. It can come after the noun phrase which post- modified by prepositional phrase; or typically come after the headword. Literally, as a post-modifier, the participial phrase is known as a reduced relative clause since it has similar form to relative clause. Moreover, either participial phrase or relative clause also share to function as phrase marker in which provides the additional information about the headword modified. Furthermore, relative clause is the less common pattern to occur in the transcripts. According to the findings, there are 31 noun phrases which have this pattern. As noted in chapter II, relative clause has a close embryo form as well as a sentence with a subject and a predicate. The disparity between those two is the use of relative pronoun. The relative pronoun which, whose, that is a marker of relative clause in which is functioned to mark the headword of the noun phrase in which it modified.
