Conjunction is an important matter in English skill especially in grammar.
Conjunction is a word that uses to join words, phrases, sentences or clauses. There
are four types of conjunction; they are Coordinate Conjunction, Subordinate
Conjunction, Correlative Conjunction and Conjunctive Adverb. The functions of
conjunction are as to show addition, reason, time, contrast, alternative choice,
result, condition, purpose, manner, and to connect similar ideas. Conjunction can
be found in the written and spoken text. The example of written text is newspaper
and for the spoken text is speech.
The objectives of this research are (i) to find out the types of conjunction
found in the Editorial of the Jakarta Post in April 2011 and the script of Susilo

Bambang Yudoyono’s speech at the Opening of the 18th Asean Summit, and (ii) to
find out the functions of conjunction found in the Editorial of the Jakarta Post in
April 2011 and the script of Susilo Bambang Yudoyono’s speech at the Opening
of the 18th Asean Summit.
The method used by the writer is descriptive qualitative research. The data
sources in this research are taken from the Editorial of the Jakarta Post in April
2011 and the script of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s Speech at the Opening of
the 18th Asean Summit.
The result of this research finds that (i) the types of conjunction found in
the Editorial of The Jakarta Post in April 2011 are 52 Coordinate conjunctions, 1
Correlative conjunction, 24 Subordinate conjunctions and 9 Conjunctive adverbs.
While in the script of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s speech at the Opening of the
18th Asean Summit, they are 64 Coordinate conjunctions, 2 Correlative
conjunction, 9 Subordinate conjunctions and 3 Conjunctive adverbs. (ii) the
functions of conjunction found in the Editorial of The Jakarta Post in April 2011
are to show: addition, equal similar ideas, contrast, alternative choices, reason,
result, time, condition and comparison. While in the script of Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono’s speech at the Opening of the 18th Asean Summit are to show:
addition, equal similar ideas, contrast, reason, result, time, condition and purpose.
Based on the result above, the writer suggests for the teacher and the

students. To the teacher, newspaper and script of speech can be used as a material
and reference in understanding conjunctions. While to the students, they can learn
more about English especially about the conjunction, because conjunction has
important thing in written and spoken language and also it has many types and

tertulis dan lisan. Contoh text tertulis adalah koran dan untuk text lisan adalah
pidato.

referensi dalam memahami kata penghubung. Sementara pada para murid, mereka
dapa lebih belajar tentang bahasa Inggris khususnya tentang kata penghubung,
