Abstract

This study examines the functions of noun clauses in Let’s Learn English textbooks from the first grade until the third grade. The data are examined by using distributional method proposed by Sudaryanto (1988). The data are classified based on their functions as proposed by Quirk et al (1985). Noun clauses have nine functions, they are subject, direct object, subject complement, object complement, prepositional complement, adjectival complementation, extraposed subject, appositive, and adverbial. The result of the analysis shows that the frequencies of noun clauses in the first grade until the third grade textbooks are not stable. This will make students can not fully understand about the functions of noun clauses. Therefore, Let’s Learn English as a teaching material is inadequate in providing lesson about types and functions of noun clauses.

In accomplishing this study, the writers took the data from The Jakarta Post and choose the sentences that contain verbal complements. So, the total number are 225 data. Verbal complements which function as direct object are 92 data, verbal complements which function as indirect object are 12 data, verbal complements which function as benefactive object are 15 data, verbal complements which function as subject attribute are 72 data, verbal complements which function as object attribute are 25 data and verbal complements which function as predicator complement are 9 data. The result of analysis shows that the sentences in The Jakarta Post using verbal complements functioning as direct object (DO) is the highest rank, and followed by subject attribute (SA), object attribute (OA), benefactive object (BO), indirect object (IO) and predicator complement (PC).
