Abstract

This paper attempts to analyze the gerunds used in the Walt Disney films. The gerund is known as a part of Corpus Linguistics. Many uses of the gerund can be applied, especially that can be found in conversations of Walt Disney Films. The objective of the study is to reveal the common gerunds for conversations. The analysis is using a qualitative method based on the total of gerunds and the rank of words. The data consists of 2523 gerunds from several Walt Disney films such as Moana, Zootopia, Frozen, Tangled, Lion King, Toy Story, and Ice Ages. This is perhaps the most complex and arguable question that has risen among linguists about corpus linguistics: how many frequencies use gerunds? The gerund is so common. Finally, this paper highlights the gerunds tend to dominate a conversation of Walt Disney Films.

Abstract

Systemic functional linguistics is not only a theory that discusses a system of rules, but also a system of choices used by speakers to create meaning. This study focuses on the application of primary tense, which aims to analyze interpersonal meaning in the reading texts in the book Wider World in depth and comprehensively. Primary tense is one part of the finite element in the mood system; its function is to anchor actions or events to the time of speaking and enable the exchange of interpersonal meaning. The research design uses a qualitative corpus descriptive approach using AntConc software. The data used are 5 reading texts from the book Wider World with various themes. The results of this study will reveal the time of events and play an important role in generating interpersonal meaning that connects the writer and reader socially and ideologically.
