Abstract

This study explores the syntactic structures of simple sentences containing compound subjects and compound predicates in Rick Riordan’s The Son of Neptune. Although often perceived as grammatically minimal, simple sentences in literary texts can exhibit internal complexity through the use of coordinated grammatical elements. Rather than employing constituent-based analysis, this research adopts a type-based syntactic approach to classify coordinated structures within single independent clauses. The analysis draws upon the syntactic models of Quirk and Greenbaum (1973) and Brown and Miller (1991), which provide a functional framework for identifying core syntactic components. A qualitative descriptive method was applied to 100 simple sentences, each categorized into one of three structural types: those with compound subjects only, compound predicates only, or both. The results suggest that compound predicates appear more frequently than compound subjects, reflecting the novel’s emphasis on dynamic, action-oriented narration. The study concludes that syntactic coordination within structurally simple yet syntactically rich sentences supports clarity and variation in narrative expression. This syntactic approach may also be applied as a teaching framework for analyzing literary texts.

Abstract

In the context of a language must have their respective positions as an effort to classify sentences in several positions. The main purpose of the classification of positions is to provide direction and explanation regarding the meaning of a sentence when it is collaborated with others sentences. Words that have initial positions as nouns or adjectives to verbs and adverbs will be in their position if they get an addition at the end of the word according to their context and use. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the reasons for the change of each basic word and to find out the context of the changes made so that the reader has a deep understanding when reading the novel "The Return of Sherlock Holmes". The research method used is a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques used in the form of reading and note-taking techniques. While the data analysis techniques used a step of analysis is to use the theory that underlies this derivational suffix and use some supporting references to produce a scientific finding. As a step to describe research, it is easier to use a concept map because it is easy to understand. The results of the research show that there are 2 words that are classified as changes in the suffix of adjective, there are 1 word that is classified as changes in the suffix of adverb, 2 words that are classified as changes in the suffix of verb and 2 words that are classified as the suffix of noun. Of the several changes, the majority of the reasons for changing are as a way to change the position of the word class.
