ABSTRACT

Novalinda Puspita ASP, A Syntactic Analysis of Sentence Structure on

Fairy Tales by Akramulla using Generative Transformational Grammar. Thesis:

English Letter Department, Letters and Humanities Faculty of Syarif Hidayatullah

State Islamic University, Jakarta 2018.

In this case, the aims of this research are to find out the types of sentence used

in the fairy tales and the dominant type of sentence used in the fairy tales. The

method of this research is using qualitative analysis. The research questions will be

answered in analytical description. The collected types of sentence have been picked

up from the fairy tales then classified based on the structure. The types of sentence

are analyzed using Noam Chomsky theory which are elaborated into table and tree

diagram to see the structure.

The result of this research shows that there are twenty five data collected from

the fairy tales. Those collected data show three types of sentence which are mostly

found based on the table and tree diagram. The table and tree diagram process proves

that the meaning of sentences can be easier to understand, so the content of the story

is delivered successfully to the listener.

Keywords: Syntax, Types of Sentence, Structure, Tree Diagram, Noam Chomsky,

Fairy Tales.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Research Background

Language is the main instrument of communication, it cannot be

separated from human being. We use language to express our feeling, respond

the phenomena, share an idea, and also critisize. Due to these facts people realize

that language plays an important role in their daily life. In communication with

other people either in oral or written forms; we use language as the media. Here,

the language we used ought to be meaningful and understandable to avoid

misunderstanding and misinterpretation.

In linguistics, the study about the sentence of language is syntax.

Gleason (128) defines syntax as the principles of arrangement of the contruction

formed by the process of derivation and inflection (word) into larger construction

of various kinds. According to the above definition of syntax, it is concluded that

syntax is the arrangement and relationship among words, phrases, and clauses

forming sentences or larger constructions based on grammatical rules.

Language is also a system of arbitrary vocal symbols by means of

which a social goup cooperates (Lyons, 3-4). By using language, people can

develop their knowledge and know something. Beside, we also use language to

write, speak, and analyze, for example, the fairy tales.

Language can also be expressed through fairy tales. The language in

fairy tales mostly used to entertain people. The people can use their own

language, their own style to express their feeling and imagination and they can

write it into a short story.

For beginners, the understanding of english structure is very

important. To understand the english text, learners can try to identify simple

sentences and try to create simple sentences in spoken or writing. A simple

sentence has only one full predication in the form of an independent clause

(Srijono, 70).

In the short story of fairy tales mostly use simple sentence, because

fairy tales is also simple story for kids. The readers of fairy tales can easily give

understanding to kids with simple sentences. There are many fairy tales which

have many simple sentences. For example the fairy tales by Akramulla Syed

entitled The hare and The Tortoise, and The Ant and The Dove.

There is a reason why the researcher selects fairy tales written by

Akramulla as the object of this research; first the writer wants to make an easy

research in order to make the beginner readers easily understand about types of

sentence, and in the Akramulla’s fairy tales there are some types of sentence

which the readers need to know. Writer also analyze with one simple way, which

is classifying using table and tree diagram which will certainly be easily

understood by the readers. These are the reasons why the writer took a fairy tales

as the corpus and the writer is interested in analyzing it.

For example:

A Tortoise One Day Met A Hare Who Made fun of Her

A Tortoise + One day + Met + A hare + Who + Made fun of + her

S + Adv + V + O + Conj + V + O

A tortoise One day Met A hare Who Made fun of Her

Conj V O

S Adv V O Adverb of manner

S

NP VP

V VP

Adv V NP VP NP

N AdvM V N

A Tortoise one day met a hare who made fun of her

In the sentence above, the word A Tortoise is categorized as a subject,

one day is categorized as an adverb of time, met is categorized as a verb, a hare

is categorized as an object, who is categorized as conjunction, made is

categorized as a verb, her is categorized as an object, and who made fun of her

are merged into Adverb of manner. This is type of complex sentence.

Previous research related studies of syntax have been carried out by a

number of researchers. For example, Astuti (2007) and Muntamah (2008). The

writer has similarities and differences with the previous research, the explanation

will be explained in chapter two. So the writer conduct a research on fairy tales

structure using the theory of Generative Transformational Grammar by Noam

Chomsky.

B. Research Focus

Based on the background of this research. This research will analyze the

type of Grammar in the fairy tales using the grammatical style. The writer will

focus on syntax with analyzing fairi tales by Akramulla Syed entitled The Hare

and The tortoise and The Ant and The Dove.

C. Research Questions

Based on the research background, the writer proposes two following

Problems, these are the following:

1. What are the types of sentence used in the fairy tales The Hare and The

tortoise and the Ant and The Dove?

2. What is the dominant types of sentence used in the fairy tales The Hare

and The tortoise and the Ant and The Dove?

D. Objectives of The Research

The research aims to answer the problems stated above :

1. To find out the types of sentence used in the fairy tales The Hare and The

tortoise and the Ant and The Dove.

2. To find out the dominant type of sentence used in the fairy tales The Hare

and The tortoise and the Ant and The Dove.

E. Research Significance

The result of this research is expected to be useful for other

researchers who are interested in investigating other short stories which has

the same topic. It is also expected to be useful for the English students of State

Islamic University of Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta as linguistic reference which

will assist them to understand and appreciate works of linguistics, especially

types of grammar in syntax.

F. Research Methodology

1. Research Method

The research method in this research is a descriptive qualitative

which description of the types and forms of research that will be used in

research.. Qualitative method is the method which uses the descriptive data

and gathers the information not in numerical form (McLeod 2008), so the data

that is analyzed is a word form not a number (Mahsun 257).

2. Technique of Data Collecting and Data Analysis

The technique of collecting data that used in this research by using the following

steps :

a. Download the short story by Akramulla Syed at

http://www.islamicoccasions.com

b. Choose two short stories by Akramulla Syed.

c. Read carefully of the short story that had been chosen as the

corpus.

d. Identify the types of grammar in the short stories.

e. List them in tabel.

3. Unit of Analysis

The unit analysis of this research is all sentences which are produced

in the fairy tales of The Hare and The Tortoise and The Ant and The Dove.

4. Research Instrument

The instrument of this research are some references and the writer

herself. After collecting data and choosing some of data findings, the writer

analyzes one by one data by reading and understanding the fairy tales and

analyzing using noam Chomsky theory.

CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

A. Previous Research

There are some previous studies related to the topic of syntax analysist as

follows. The first study came from School Of Teacher Training and Education,

Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta, written by Zakiyah Wasnadi Astuti

(2007), the second study came from the same university written by Muntamah

(2008), and the third study came from Faculty of Letters, University of North

Sumatra of Medan written by Yun Friska Irene Ginting (2009).

1. A Syntactic Analysis of Noun Phrase in Pride and Prejudice Novel by

Jane Austen Written by Zakiyah Wasnadi Astuti (2007)

Astuti’s research (2007) found that: (1) based on the position, there

are three positions of the modifiers in the noun phrase such 5 as

preposition (Modifier + Noun), post-position (Noun + Modifier) and

before and after noun (Modifier + Noun + Modifier), (2) based on

grammatical structure there are 6 constituent that function as modifier of

Noun Phrase such as adjective, noun, preposition, Infinitive, adverb, and

clause.

2. Syntactic Study of Adjectival Clauses in Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy

Tales Written by Muntamah (2008)

Futhermore, Muntamah (2008) had found her study: 1) there are 19

types of forms of adjectival clause constructions with the introductory

words, relative pronouns, functioning as subject, 14 types of forms of

adjectival clause constructions with the introductory words, relative

pronouns and relative adverbs, functioning as object of verb, and one type

of form of adjectival clause construction with the introductory word,

relative pronoun, functioning as object of preposition; 2) the types of

adjectival clause patterns are similar with the forms, due to the fact that

the patterns are described based on those forms; 3) there are 19 types of

meaning of adjectival clauses with the introductory words functioning as

subject, 11 types of meaning of adjectival clauses with the introductory

words functioning as object of verb, and one type of meaning of

adjectival clause with the introductory word functioning as object of

preposition.

3. An Analysis of Sentence Structure in Tenesse William’s A Street Cat

Named Desire Written by Yun Friska Irene Ginting (2009)

Ginting (2008) research found that the play has four types of

sentence which are simple sentence, compound sentence, complex

sentence, and compound – complex sentence. Tenesse William used a

variety of sentence types to make it more interesting and easier to

understand so the readers are interested in reading the play.

B. Theoritical Framework

1. Syntax

Syntax a branch of linguistics that is study of the structure of a

sentence and its elements. Some linguists gave devinition about syntax:

“Knowing a language includes the ability to construct phrases and

sentences out of morphemes and words. The part of the grammar that

represents a structure and their formation is called syntax” (Fromkin

and Rodman 106)

“Syntax studies the organization of words into phrases and phrases

into sentences” (Dwight 171)

“Syntax is study of principles and processes by which sentences are

constructed in particular language” (Chomsky 2002)

From the definitions above the writer concluded that syntax is the

branch of grammar which deals with: word syntactic structure, phrase

syntactic structure, clause syntactic structure, and sentence syntactic

structure.

Page 20: A SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS OF SENTENCE STRUCTURE ON Arepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789... · structure using the theory of Generative Transformational Grammar by Noam Chomsky.

2. The Analys of syntactical theory

Avram Noam Chomsky is an American linguist, philosopher,

cognitive scientist, historian, political activist and social critic. Sometimes

called as “the father of modern linguistics” he developed the theory to be a

modern theory with his book “Syntactic Structures”. Noam Chomsky’s

wrote a theory about syntax in his book Syntactic Structure (2002), he argue

that grammar is Generative, because it can generate or create an infinite

number of sentences. It is called Transformational since a basic or simple

sentence like:

Nova writes a letter

Can be changed or transformed into other sentences with either the same

meaning

A letter is written by Nova

Or with different meaning

Does Nova write a letter?

Nova writes a letter, doesn’t she?

Nova does not write a letter

The basic sentence has been transformed by adding words, and by

the movement of word positions. Even though is not mentioned in the

examples above, the transformation also can be done by deleting words.

Page 21: A SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS OF SENTENCE STRUCTURE ON Arepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789... · structure using the theory of Generative Transformational Grammar by Noam Chomsky.

11

These changes take place through specific rule, which are called the

Transformational Rule. From the examples above Noam Chomsky named

his theory Transformational Generative Grammar because Grammar

generates and transforms sentences. In generative/transformational grammar

there are three important aspects of sentence structure:

1. The linear order of words from left to right

2. The categorization of words into parts of speech

3. The grouping of words

Phrase structure trees or phrase markers or tree diagram represent

the framework of Transformational Generative Grammar. The trees provide

information about the sentencecs they represent by showing the hierarchical

relations between their component parts (Chomsky, 27). For example:

S

NP VP

V NP

Det N

Nova bring the pen

Page 22: A SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS OF SENTENCE STRUCTURE ON Arepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789... · structure using the theory of Generative Transformational Grammar by Noam Chomsky.

3. Basic Structure of English Syntax

a. Morpheme

Morpheme is a form of language that does not contain parts which are

similar to other forms, either the sound or the meaning. (Bloomfield 6).

Morpheme described as the minimal linguistic sign which means that the

morpheme is the smallest component of a word which contributes to its

meaning (Radford,140). Morpheme is the smallest unit of form can distinguish

the meaning or significance. Morpheme has been divided into two, namely free

morpheme and bound morpheme. These the following of explanation:

1. Free Morpheme

A free morpheme is one word that can stand alone in a language,

without requiring the presence of additional morphemes in order to be freely

pronounceable as a word. Thus, words made up of only one morpheme, such as

cat, elephant, are necessarily free morpheme. It does not mean that free

morphemes always occur on their own, with no other morphemes attached for

example cat forms such as:

Cats and catty.

Elephant also have elephants.

The point is that form such as cat and elephant do not require the

presence of another morpheme in order to be pronounceable in isolation in

English.

Page 23: A SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS OF SENTENCE STRUCTURE ON Arepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789... · structure using the theory of Generative Transformational Grammar by Noam Chomsky.

13

2. Bound Morpheme

A bound morpheme is one which cannot stand alone as a freely

pronounceable word in a language, but which requires the presence of some

morphemes. Thus, morpheme in English such as -ed “past”, -s plural (more

than one), re- (again, back) or mis- (wrongly) are bound morphemes. None of

these forms are never pronounced on their own by speaker of English. There

are always attached to some morphemes, and occur in words such as kill-ed,

dog-s, re-write and mis-hear.

Morpheme can also be classified according to whether they are roots or

not. A root is a morpheme which has the potential of having other morpheme

attached to it. A non-root, on the other hand, can never have any other

morpheme attached to it. The classification of morphemes into free and

bound morphemes, and into roots and non-roots, is cross cutting

classification. This means that there are either free roots or bounds.

b. Word

The smallest form of the sentence can stand alone and have meaning. In

terms of the form of words can be distinguished two kinds: single word of

morpheme, and a word that many basic word of morpheme: words that do

not have basic word affixes in general are potentially to be developed to be

derived terms.

1. Affixation

Page 24: A SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS OF SENTENCE STRUCTURE ON Arepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789... · structure using the theory of Generative Transformational Grammar by Noam Chomsky.

14

Plag states that affix as a bound morpheme that attaches to bases

(Plag). An affix can be possessed in the beginning or the end of a base.

Affix that appears in the beginning of base is prefixes such as un- and mis-,

while affix that appears in the end of the base is suffixes such as –less and

–ish (Yule 59). Another example of suffixes are –ing in word sleeping and–

er in word beautifier (Fromkin 78). In addition, another example of

prefixes are de- in worddecomposition, and anti- in word antivirus (Plag

107-108).

2. Blend

Blend is the process of combining of two separate forms to produce a

single new term. Blending is taken by cutting the beginning of the word and

joining it to the end of other word. The combined effects of smoke and fog,

result a new word smog (Yule 55-56). Moreover, Plag states the best

treatment in describing blends is in terms of prosodic categories

(phonological phenomenon as the domain of syllabification). Blends mostly

are built of two or more base words, but the base words cut with a massive

loss of phonetic (or orthographic) material. According to Dressler quoted

by Plag, blending has often been described as a rather irregular

phenomenon where the rule is not transparent, yet Plag finds degree of

regularity (121-122).

3. Compound

Page 25: A SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS OF SENTENCE STRUCTURE ON Arepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789... · structure using the theory of Generative Transformational Grammar by Noam Chomsky.

15

Derivation is not the only way of forming new words, of course. In

many languages, compounding is the most frequently used way of making

new words. Its defining property is that it consists of the combination of

lexemes into larger words. According to Plag compound is a word that

consists of two elements which the first is either a root, word or phrase, and

the second is either a root or word (135).

c. Phrase

Phrase is a group of related words does not contain a subject with an

attached verb (Betty Azar, 239). This element includes investigation of the

complexity of noun phrases and verb phrase in a text. Noun phrases are any

and all structures headed by a noun, or by a pronoun, or any other word or

structure that stands in for a noun. Thus even an entire clause may function

as a noun phrase (Tufte 41).

Based on Quirk and Greenbaum’s A Student’s Grammar of the English

Language (363), there are three components in describing a complex noun

phrase:

1. The Head.

Head is defined as something around which the other components

cluster and which dictates concord and other kinds of congruence with the

rest of the sentence outside the noun phrase.

2. The Pre-modifier.

Page 26: A SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS OF SENTENCE STRUCTURE ON Arepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789... · structure using the theory of Generative Transformational Grammar by Noam Chomsky.

16

It comprises all the items placed before the head notably adjectives

and nouns. Pre- modifier includes noun, adjective, adjective phrase,

participle -ed and -ing.

3. The Post-modifier.

It comprises all the items placed after the head notably prepositional

phrases, non-finite clauses, and relative clauses. Post-modifier includes

prepositional phrase, relative clause and complementation but also there is

determiner in forming noun phrase.

d. Clause

A clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb. On the

other hand, if a group of related words does not contain a subject with an

attached verb, it is simply a phrase (Betty Azar, 239). Clause is divided

into two kinds; dependent clause and independent clause. Dependent

clause is clause that cannot stand by itself. While independent clause can

stand by itself. This chapter will distinguish two large categories of

dependent clauses relative and subordinate (Tufte, 116).

A Dependent clause begins with a subordinator such as when, before,

even though, as soon as, whether, if, since, while, if, that, because,

although, and so forth (Danesi 247). A dependent clause also known as a

subordinate clause is a clause that relies on the information from an

Page 27: A SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS OF SENTENCE STRUCTURE ON Arepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789... · structure using the theory of Generative Transformational Grammar by Noam Chomsky.

17

independent clause to form a complete, logical thought. It means that

dependent clause cannot stand on its own to form a sentence.

A relative clause substitutes a relative pronoun which consists of

(who, which, that). Relative pronoun introduces the clause stands for the

subject, and only the verb is needed to complete the clause. There is no

substitution in subordinate clauses, where a subordinator (because, if, as,

while, when, that) is added to a complete clause in order to connect it to the

main body of the sentence.

Dependent clauses are usually marked by dependent words, such as

subordinating conjunctions, relative pronouns, or relative adverbs.

Dependent clause has three kinds, such as adjective clause, adverb clause,

and noun clause.

e. Sentence Types

A sentence is a predication, something said about a subject. Writer

focuses to categorizes sentences based on their complexity. In general, there

are three main structures of sentences: simple sentences, compound

sentences and complex sentences.

1. Simple Sentences

Betty Mattix (95) states that Simple sentence is an independent

clause- one complete thought that can stand-alone. A sentence is considered

a simple one whenever it contains only a single clause. A simple sentence

only has one subject and one predicate, or one clause. In the simple

sentence, the clause called independent which meant clause can stand alone

by himself. For example:

He is a teacher

In this sentence only has an independent clause, and it is the example

of a simple sentence structure.

2. Compound Sentence

Compound sentence may also be formed by using a semicolon, with

or without the coordinating conjunction. It also can be formed by using

semicolon and conjunctive adverb such as moreover, in addition, besides,

otherwise, however, still, nevertheless, therefore, consequently, and

accordingly (frank 7). For example:

He ran as fast as he could, but he could not catch up with the

tortoise

In this sentence has two independent clauses, and this is example of

compound sentence.

3. Complex Sentence

Complex sentence is made of one independent clause and one or

more dependent clause. While any sentence that has more than one clause is

included into a complex sentence. According to Comma Rule, in a complex

sentence, when the dependent clause comes first, separate the clauses with a

comma. When the independent clause comes first, do not separate them

(112). It depends on an independent clause for its meaning to be clear. For

example:

Nova likes to watch a funny story that make her happy when she is

sad

In this sentence there are two clauses, independent and dependent. It

represents the type of complex sentence.

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH FINDINGS

A. Data Description

The data of this research is the sentences in the fairy tales by

Akramulla. There are two story titles which will be analyzed, they are The

Hare And The Tortoise And The Ant And The Dove. The types of sentence

will be analyzed by using Chomsky’s theory in his book syntactic

structure, that grammar is generative, because it can generate or create an

infinite number of sentences.

There are 25 sentences found in this research, which contain

syntactic structure the types of sentence into three categories: Simple

sentence, Compound sentence, and Complex sentence.

C. Research Finding

In brief, this research has found that many complex sentences. It is to show

that relates with the story generally by Akramulla Syed. The writer found 25 data

from this fairy tales, which is simple sentence, compound sentence, complex

sentence. The researcher found the dominant types of sentence is complex sentence.

The complex sentence is mostly appear rather than simple sentence and compound

sentence.

CHAPTER IV

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

After analyzing the data using table and tree diagram, the writer would like to

draw some conclusions and give some suggestion dealing with what has been

discussed in chapter III.

A. Conclusion

Having discussed the data, the next step is to draw conclusion of the

syntactical study concerning the types of sentence of Akramulla’s fairy tales related

to the theory of syntax based on the theory transformational grammar by Noam

Chomsky. It can be concluded that from the two of Akramulla’s fairy tales used as

the samples in this thesis, the types of sentence used in the Akramulla’s fairy tales are

simple sentence, compound sentence, and complex sentence. Through the discussion,

the researcher also found the dominant type of sentence used in the fairy tales. The

complex sentence mostly appear rather than simple sentence and compound sentence.

To give clear understanding of the conclusion, these are the types of sentence

and the number of each type. The simple sentence 3, the compound sentence 8, and

the complex sentence 14.

52

B. Suggestion

Considering the importance of understanding the sentence structure especially

in the study of syntax, these are some suggestions. For students who are willing to

conduct a research on the same topic, it will hopefully give a clear understanding and

a wider analysis of fairy tale. For instance, the analysis of the suitability of the

structure in a fairy tales with the children’s cognitive.

It is also hoped that there are other students who will conduct study on related

topic from different angle, hoping that there will be a new findings dealing with

syntactical study. Finally, the writer hopes that this thesis can be used as a reference

for those who are interested in studying syntactical study.
