The domination of using PP was seen in the syntactic forms, they were PP = P + NP (det + N) and PP = P + NP (N). The rest was PP = P + NP (N-num + N), PP = P + NP (det + A + N), PP = P + NP (N + N) and PP = P + NP (A + N). It could be concluded that the using of NP (det + N) in PP was dominated in all sentences in the two texts of Analytical Exposition Text.
