Abstract

This article discusses a transitivity analysis under the scope of systemic functional linguistics and it focuses on the types of processes in the clauses of Eminem’s Houdini song lyrics. Apart from just the processes, this paper also aimed to know how each stage of the song lyrics has different numbers of processes, so that the social construction from the staging can be seen further. This research is qualitative-descriptive since the data are multiple and holistically constructed. The data were collected from the transcription of the song lyrics which were then analyzed by using Spradley’s (1980) model of analysis. The stages of the analysis comprise domain, taxonomy, componential, and cultural theme analysis. The results show that the song mostly uses relational identifying process with as many as 46 data. Next, the stage that has the most processes is the third verse with total 46 data. Additionally, the verses carry the main narrative and thematic contents so that they have more processes, often repetitive, than the other song sections. The conclusion is that relational identifying processes are mostly used to identify or show the presence of Eminem, Slim Shady, and the controversy Eminem brings in the new album as well as what he already brought in the old albums.

Abstract

This research attempts to find and describe the types and factors of English nouns and verbs morphological inflection from the student's assignments. This research can also be seen as one form of language development research since it also discusses the factors of the mistakes that the students commit in the making of the assignment. The assignment was to write a paragraph about anything in English then the outcome was analyzed to find the morphological inflection mistakes and classify the data based on the criteria. This research applies descriptive qualitative design and uses observation for the data collecting technique and later uses document analysis. The techniques in this research are Spradley's domain, taxonomy, and componential analysis. This research finds 16 data of inflectional mistakes that fulfill the three categories of the factors while the discussion shows that the factor following each type is dominated by unfamiliarity with inflectional rules whereas the dominant type of inflectional mistake is omission. The conclusion shows that the most common mistakes happen in nouns by the supports from Tomasello's Usage-based theory (2009). Finally, the students mostly fail on noun inflection because they are unfamiliar with the inflectional rules of nouns.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive syntactic analysis of tense phrases within the framework of X-bar theory applied to recount texts. Utilizing a corpus of diverse recount narratives, we employ a generative approach to scrutinize the hierarchical structure and syntactic relationships governing tense constituents. Our investigation reveals intricate patterns of tense phrase formation, shedding light on the underlying syntactic mechanisms that govern temporal information encoding. Through a meticulous examination of tense-related features, we uncover the nuanced interplay between functional projections and lexical elements, offering insights into the syntactic complexities of recount narratives. Furthermore, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of tense phrase structures, providing a foundation for future explorations in syntactic analysis. The findings herein not only advance our comprehension of temporal representation in language but also underscore the significance of X-bar theory in elucidating intricate syntactic phenomena.
