Abstract

Words are composed of morphemes. The notion that morphemes are words is not necessarily true. While some single morphemes can function as words, some words have two or more morphemes. Furthermore, it is wrong to consider morphemes to be syllables. In contrast, many words only have one syllable and two morphemes; examples are "cats," "runs," and "barked." Morpheme can be classified as either Free or Bound Morpheme. It applies the Bound Morpheme's restriction, which included eight inflectional affixes. The goal is to determine how pupils use bound morphemes. This study's research tool was acquired through testing. Knowing the sort of error and where it happens helps with testing. The procedures for data analysis were applied by the data analysis methodologies. Counted the Bound Morpheme first. Second, they were divided into groups. Thirdly, the number of frequently occurring terms was counted. Fourthly, determined which word should be chosen and which should not be. Then, based on the total number of words with the ratings Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor, percentages were calculated. Meanwhile, based on the results of the The student’s ability in implementing the Inflectional Affixes is 38% as a very good category, 25% as a good category, 25% as a fair category, and 12% as a low category in implementing the Inflectional Affixes of Bound Morpheme on the text.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze conversations containing conversational implicature in the interactions between the host and guests on The Drew Barrymore Talk Show, using Grice’s (1975) theory of conversational implicature, which explains that conversational implicature is divided into two types: Generalized conversational implicature and Particularized conversational implicature. Implicature refers to utterances spoken by the speaker that are not meant literally. In conducting the research, the author used a descriptive qualitative method to present data in the form of descriptions and to identify conversational implicature. The data were obtained from conversation transcripts, which were then validated and matched repeatedly with videos from The Drew Barrymore Show’s YouTube channel. The data were summarized by analyzing conversations containing conversational implicature, then the selected data were classified into two types of conversational implicature. The data were further analyzed to determine the actual meaning contained in the implicit utterances and the speaker’s purpose in delivering those utterances. After analyzing the conversations in The Drew Barrymore Talk Show, the author found 35 instances of conversational implicature. Among these data, 19 were classified as generalized conversational implicature and 16 as particularized conversational implicature. In analyzing the actual meaning of these utterances, the researcher identified 9 types of purposes for using conversational implicature, namely: 15 for giving information, 6 for humor and jokes, 6 for lack of specific information, 2 for giving satire, 2 for self-protection, 1 for giving praise, 1 for politeness, 1 for giving support, and 1 for expressing happiness. Based on research findings, the use of conversational implicature in the from of generalized conversational implicature was dominantly applied in general or casual conversations. its purposes were not only to provide information and create humor but also varied depending on how the speaker delivered the utterance and the context in which it was used.

Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests and analyzed using SPSS version 25.0, including descriptive statistics and an independent samples t-test. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group’s mean score (31.61 to 74.19) compared to the control group (39.03 to 69.68). The p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) indicated a significant difference between the two groups. It can be concluded that the KWL strategy effectively enhances students’ reading comprehension by activating prior knowledge, setting learning purposes, and promoting reflection.

Abstract

This research journal presents a comprehensive and systematic exploration of the five fundamental sentence patterns in English grammar—S-V, S-V-O, S-V-C, S-V-O-O, and S-V-O-C—with an additional focus on the function of adjuncts. The study was conducted over a five-month period with a group of senior high school students in Indonesia, analyzing how the understanding and mastery of sentence structures, alongside adjunct use, significantly impact syntactic awareness and written fluency. Each pattern is examined in terms of definition, function, structural characteristics, and usage through 15 examples (with and without adjuncts). The study employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate the effectiveness of targeted grammar instruction, offering insights into pedagogical implications for English language teaching. The findings confirm a marked improvement in students’ sentence variety and syntactic control, laying groundwork for advanced grammar instruction and curriculum planning.
