Abstract

The aim of the research was to identify the subject-verb agreement errors in the students’ descriptive writings. This study discussed the reasons for the productions of subject-verb agreement errors in students’ writings. A total of 25 writings were collected from the second semester students of Faculty of Language and Cultural Studies of University of Stikubank Semarang in the academic year 2009-2010. The average number of clauses of each writing was 40. The researchers took 20 clauses (50%) from each writing as samples, so there were 500 clauses to be analyzed. The frequency of errors was identified through the analysis of the students’ descriptive writing. The findings of the study showed that there were 124 errors (24.80%) in subject-verb agreement produced by the students in their descriptive writings. From the findings of the study, the researchers summarized that the errors produced by the students were due to the L1 (Indonesian language) interference whereby the students transferred and translated their L1 into L2 (English language).  Other reason for the error production was errors whereby the students could not apply the rule of the subject-verb agreement appropriately in their writings. The results of the study showed that the students still need more instruction and practice in using subject-verb agreement in their writings. Keywords: descriptive writing, subject-verb agreement, clauses

Abstract

This study focuses on error analysis on passive sentences of the third semester students of the FBIB (the Faculty of Language and Cultural Studies) of Unisbank, in the academic year 2009/2010.  They consist of three classes with the total number of students 65. Therefore, the number of the data collected was 65, each consisted of 10 passive sentences.  The writers took 20 data (30.76%) randomly, so the total number of passive sentences to be analyzed was 200. Five types of errors were identified on a sentence level, namely:  (1) omission, (2) over conclusion, (3) misformation, and (4) misordering, and (5) Blends. The findings show that the misformation error is of the highest occurrence: 42.35%. The results will be of benefit for material development in the FBIB of Unisbank. Keywords: error, omission, over conclusion, misformation, misordering, blends.

Abstract

English phonological processes happen both in word and phrase levels. In the word level, it occurs when a morpheme is combined with another morpheme. One of the sound will experience a change because of the influence of the other morpheme. The English phonological process  also occurs in  a phrase level. This change is caused by the influence of syntactic factors. This study aims at explaining the forms of phonological processes of English language that occur in word level, concerning the processes of assimilation  and some other morpho-phonemic changes. In explaining the phonological processes, the writer uses the Generative Phonology Theory which is firstly introduced by Noam Chomsky in 1957. The Generative School of Phonology was founded by Noam Chomsky in the late 1950s.  Its basic premises are that phonological structure reflects the linguistic competence of the individual native speaker to compute a phonetic representation for the potentially infinite number of sentences generated by the syntactic component of the grammar.   Key words: phonological processes, assimilation, morpho-phonemic changes, generative phonology, linguistic competence.

Abstract

Interactional sociolinguistics is anapproach to discourse analysis that has its origin in the search for replicablemethods of qualitative analysis that account for our ability to interpret whatparticipants intend to convey in everyday communicative practice. Methodologically,interactional sociolinguistics relies on close discourse analysis of audio- orvideo-recorded interaction. Such methodology is central to uncoveringmeaning-making processes because many conventions for signaling andinterpreting meaning in talk are fleeting, unconscious, and culturally variable.The purpose of this article is to analyzethe interactional patterns in casual conversation through which interactantsjointly construct social relations. This study, however, limits just the analysisof the grammatical patterns at the clause level which indicate power andsubordination within interaction. Theunderlying theories are Eggins’s Analyzing Casual Conversation – the grammar of casual conversation:enacting role relations. KEY WORDS: interactional sociolinguistics,communicative practice, interpreting meaning, interactants.

Abstract

This study focuses on the discourse analysis on casualconversation in “philosophy,” from the point of view of interactional sociolinguisticsapproach. The purpose is to analyze theinteractional patterns in casual conversation through which interactants  jointly construct social relations. I limit the study just on the analysisof the grammatical patterns at the clause level which indicate power andsubordination within interaction. The approach of this study is qualitative method and theunderlying theoryisEggins’s AnalyzingCasual Conversation, thegrammar of casual conversation: enacting role relations.             The result of the analysis shows that two participants (Bradand Fran) are dominant while one participant (Dave) is theincidental participant. The percentage of turns produced in the casualconversation is: Brad = 50% , Fran = 33%, and Dave 17%.Keywords: discourse analysis, casualconversation, interactional sociolinguistics.
