Key words: Parataxis, hypotaxis, political articles, the Jakarta Post
Language has so many interelationships with various aspects of human
life. According to Halliday language is divided into written and spoken. In written
language is more difficult than spooken one, so the autor have to pay attention
with grammar to produce a text. A text consists of clauses. Based on whether the
clause can stand alone or not, it is divided into dependent and independent clause.
Meanwhile, we can call parataxis and hypotaxis base on the system of
interdepency or taxis.Study about paratxis and hypotaxis, it is still confusing for
the students of Teacher Training and Education Faculty, Muria Kudus University.
To solve this problem, the teacher should use media. There are a lot of media in
our environment. One of them is newspaper. A newspaper consists of many
sentences and clauses which are parataxis and hypotaxis. The english newspaper
in Indonesia is the Jakarta Post. The Jakarta Post has a lot of news.The political
articles to be analyzed because the political articles of the Jakarta Post there are
clause complex which can be analyzed. And the political articles has some clause
that difficult to be understood and there are clauses that compose clause complex,
whether it is parataxis or hypotaxis.
The objective of the Research is to find out the parataxis and hypotaxis
realized in the political article of the Jakarta Post in September 2012 edition.
This is a qualitative descriptive research. The data of this reseach is
parataxis and hypotaxis which are realized in the political article of Jakarta Post in
September 2012 edition. And the data source is the political articles of the Jakarta
Post in September 2012 edition.
In the findings of the research, the analysis shows that the five political
articles of the Jakarta Post in September 2012 dominantly use hypotaxis
constructions. In the first political articles there are 10 parataxis and 17 hypotaxis.
In the second poliical articles there are 8 parataxis and 18 hypotaxis. In the third
poliical articles there are 9 parataxis and 19 hypotaxis. In the fourth poliical
articles there are 2 parataxis and 10 hypotaxis. And In the fifth poliical articles
there are 13 parataxis and 15 hypotaxis.
Based on the finding of the reseacher, I can indicate thatthe writers of the
Jakarta Post want to present their argumants as sub ordinate by hypotatically
constructing the text which they have good English competence. And it shares
x
more information in densed sentence. But then, we should realize and avoid to
think that hypotaxis is better that parataxis conversely. They just express their idea
as equal statusto make easier to the beginer English learners and to express the
idea in simple sentence. So there is a good chance in employing parataxis and
hypotaxis in text to give valuable contribution to the English learnersto improve
their idea in English effectively. This research can be usefull for the students to
increase their knowledge about parataxis and hypotaxis. And for the lecturers can
use the Jakarta Post as a source or reference in giving materials for the students.

ABSTRAK
Widiastuti, Rita Puspitasari. 2013.Analisis Parataxis dan Hypotaxis dalam Artikel
Politik di Jakarta Post pada Bulan September Edisi

Kata-kata kunci:Parataxis, hypotaxis, artikel politik, Jakarta Post
Bahasa memiliki banyak hubungan dengan berbagai aspek kehidupan
manusia. Menurut Halliday bahasa dibagi menjadi lisan dan tulisan. Dalam bahasa
tulis lebih sulit daripada lisan, sehingga penulis harus memperhatikan tata bahasa
untuk menghasilkan teks. Sebuah teks terdiri dari klausa. Berdasarkan pada,
apakah klausa dapat berdiri sendiri atau tidak, dibagi menjadi klausa berdiri
sendiri dan kalusa yang bergantung. Sementara itu, kita dapat menyebutnya
parataxis dan hypotaxis berdasarkan pada sistem interdepency atau taxsi.
Pembelajaran tentang paratxis dan hypotaxis, masih membingungkan bagi
mahasiswa Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Muria Kudus.
Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, guru harus menggunakan media. Ada banyak media
di sekitar kita. Salah satunya adalah surat kabar. Sebuah surat kabar terdiri dari
banyak kalimat dan klausa yang terdiri dari parataxis dan hypotaxis. Surat kabar
bebahasa Inggris di Indonesia adalah Jakarta Post. Jakarta Post memiliki banyak
berita. Artikel politik dianalisis karena artikel politik Jakarta Post terdapat klausa
kompleks yang dapat dianalisis. Dan artikel politik memiliki beberapa klausa yang
sulit dipahami dan ada klausa yang membentuk klausa kompleks, apakah itu
parataxis atau hypotatis.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui parataxis dan
hypotaxis direalisasikan dalam artikel politik di Jakarta Post edisi September
2012.
Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Data dari
penelitian ini adalah parataxis dan hypotaxis yang diwujudkan dalam artikel
politik Jakarta Post pada September 2012 edisi. Dan sumber data adalah artikel
politik di Jakarta Post edisi September 2012.
Dalam penemuan penelitian, analisis menunjukkan bahwa lima artikel
politik Jakarta Post pada September 2012 dominan menggunakan konstruksi
hypotaxis. Dalam artikel politik pertama ada 10 parataxis dan 17 hypotaxis.
Dalam artikel poliical kedua ada 8 parataxis dan 18 hypotaxis. Dalam artikel
poliical ketiga ada 9 parataxis dan 19 hypotaxis. Dalam artikel poliical keempat
ada 2 parataxis dan 10 hypotaxis. Dan Dalam artikel poliical kelima ada 13
parataxis dan 15 hypotaxis.
Berdasarkan penemuan penelitian, saya bisa menyimpulkan bahwa para
penulis Jakarta Post ingin menyajikan argumants mereka secara sub ordinat
xii
hypotatically dalam membuat teks, mereka memiliki kompetensi bahasa Inggris
yang baik karena mereka tidak memiliki kesulitan dalam mewujudkan ide-ide ke
dalam tulisan dan menggunakan berbagai gaya membangun parataxis dan
hypotaxis. Dan saham informasi lebih lanjut dalam kalimat densed. Tapi
kemudian, kita harus menyadari dan menghindari untuk berpikir hypotaxis yang
lebih baik yang parataxis sebaliknya. Mereka hanya mengekspresikan ide mereka
sebagai status yang sama untuk memudahkan untuk beginer Inggris peserta didik
dan untuk mengekspresikan ide dalam kalimat sederhana. Jadi ada kesempatan
baik dalam mempekerjakan parataxis dan hypotaxis dalam teks untuk memberikan
kontribusi yang berharga bagi pelajar bahasa Inggris untuk meningkatkan ide
mereka dalam bahasa Inggris secara efektif. Penelitian ini dapat berguna bagi para
siswa untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan mereka tentang parataxis dan hypotaxis.
Dan untuk para dosen dapat menggunakan Jakarta Post sebagai sumber atau acuan
dalam memberikan materi bagi siswa.
