Surface Structure Analysis in Kangguru Magazine by Using Diane Bornstein's Tree Diagram Theory: Study case Syntactic Analysis

ABSTRACT

Language has important role in human being life as a means of communication. It is actually the realization of the example of written works. Syntax which belongs to one of the branches of linguistics studies about phrases and sentence analysis. The researcher uses tree diagram proposed by Diane Bornstein and uses surface structure as one of his analysis.

In presenting this thesis, the researcher used descriptive qualitative method.
The data are analyzed and interpreted based on Bornstein's theory of tree diagram as stated in her book entitled "An Introduction to Transformational Grammar". The data source of this study is Kangguru Magazine while the data of this study is all rubrics in Kangguru magazine. The researcher focuses on sentence analysis in Kangguru magazine by using Diane Bornstein's Tree Diagram Theory. The key instrument of this study of this research since it is the researcher himself who observes the research, obtains the data and analyzes them as well.

In analyzing the sentence, the researcher used some theories which are suitable with the subject material. He adopted the theory of Tree diagram proposed by Diane D.Bornstein which analyzes sentences into each of the content of the sentence. There are two ways to collect the data, the first reading all rubrics in Kangguru magazine and selecting the sentences in simple sentences (simple present) active voice which are focused in affirmative (positive) sentences in each rubric randomly. The second arranging the sentences that want to be analyzed. Here the researcher writes down the sentences and divides into three groups: simple present, verbal and nominal sentence in simple present. After collecting the data, several steps were done, as follows: first, writing down the sentences, second analyzing the sentences based on the syntactic analysis using Diane Bornstein'
Tree Diagram Theory, third describing the diagram and fourth after all sentences had been analyzed by using tree diagram, the researcher mentioned the rule of the sentence pattern in each sentence.

Having analyzed the sentence, the researcher finally finds thirty one kinds of sentence patterns. There are eleven sentence patterns in nominal sentence and
there are twenty sentence patterns in verbal sentence.

Finally, the researcher hopes that there are other students who will conduct a study on the same topic with different material hoping that there will be new findings of knowledge dealing with syntactic study. The researcher also hopes that the analysis of the material will give advantages to the readers especially the student of UIN Malang or other readers who want to know syntactic analysis and its component.
