Abstract

Writing research titles for academic or publication purposes is not easy. The features of titles can be observed in the amount of information they contain and how their structures convey meaning and achieve a particular purpose. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the lexical density level and syntactic structure use in titles of Indonesian and Malaysian Scopus-indexed journals in applied linguistics. It employed a descriptive qualitative research method to analyze 181 article titles using Ure’s (1971) theory of Lexical density and Cheng et al.’s (2012) theory of Syntactic structure. It used the data from the two most recent issues of four published journal articles: SIELE, 3L, IJAL, and GEMA. As a result, it shows that 181 titles fall within the range of very high, high, and medium levels of lexical density, with the very high level being the most dominant. Very high lexical density titles are packed with content words, making them highly information-rich. High lexical density titles also deliver precise information, fitting formal academic writing. Medium lexical density titles strike a balance between content and function words, making them less dense yet more approachable. Furthermore, the titles commonly use three syntactic structures: compound, nominal, and V-ing. The compound structure occurs the most in the data. The findings are expected to contribute to enriching the broader understanding of research title writing practices. Thus, it can be used as a reference for the writers to form the title.

Abstract

The study intends to investigate the use of nominalization in The Psychology of Money book by Morgan Housel. Specifically, the purposes of this study are to (1) identify the types of nominalization used in “The Psychology of Money” book, and (2) identify the types of suffixes used to form the nominalization. The qualitative method was employed to explain the types of nominalizations using Halliday’s theory and the types of suffixes using Quirk’s theory. The data of this analysis were obtained from the first ten chapters of The Psychology of Money book. The results show that there are 864 nominalization words used in the book. The most dominant type (737 cases) is verb-to-noun nominalization and the rest (127 cases) is adjective-to-noun. All types of suffixes are used to create the formation of both verb-to-noun and adjective-to-noun. The findings contribute to enriching the knowledge of grammar, especially nominalization. Besides, it practically can be used for teaching and writing references.
