CHAPTER I
1.1 Introduction
In linguistics, the study about the sentence
of language is syntax. Gleason (1961:128) defined syntax as the principles of
arrangement of the construction formed by the process of derifation and
inflection (word) into larger constructions of various kinds. Further, Hodge
(1978:39) defines that syntax concerns the discovery of basic sentence types
with the description or the possible subtitutions for each element of the basic
types.
1.2 Problem Of The Study
What are the sentence
patterns found in The Fox and The Crow
short story?
1.3 Objective
Of The Study
This study aims to answer the problem stated above: analyzing sentence
pattern in some of The Fox and The Crow short story.
1.4 Limitation
Of The Study
The focus of this study is to investigate the sentence pattern in some
of The
Fox and The Crow short story.
1.5 Significance
Of The Study
The result of this study will be useful for other researchers who are
interested in investigating other short story which have the same topic.
1.6 Definition

Definition of the key terms is very important to avoid misunderstanding.
The definition of the key terms is stated as follows:
1.
syntactic
: about the arrangement and relationship among words, phrases, and clauses
forming sentence, sentence structure (Webster, 1988: 55)
2.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF THE RELATED LITERATURE
2.1
Sentence
a.
A
simple sentence contains only one predicate (a group of words having a subject
and predicate).For example : I go to school
b.
A
compound sentence contains two or more predication connected by conjunction. For
example : this is my book and that is yours
c.
Complex
sentence contains one or more predication called independent or a main
(principle) predication or main clause. For example : that is a book which I
bought
d.
Compound
complex sentence is a sentence that contains two or more independent clauses.
Sentences may take the form of statement, question, request and exclamation.
For example : he doesn’t go to Surabaya very
much but he has to get there because his family wants to go there.
So, sentence is the
basis of syntactic system which consist of a group of related words containing
a subject and a predicate as a means to express ideas, thought, messages’, etc.
According to Bornstein (1997:52), sentence
must have Noun Phrase and verb phrase
(S NP+VP).
a.
Noun
phrase
NP is a group of words whose elements are
head nd modifier and it function as a noun or pronoun.
b.
Verb
Phrase
Verb phrase is a group of words whose
elements are head and modifier and it functions as a verb.
c.
Auxiliary
The auxiliary can be written as a modal
auxiliary (may, should, will) or one of the “Helping Verb” (be, do, have) of
traditional grammar, but it also includes tense (present or past) as its first
element. Tense must be appeared under the auxiliary.
d.
Tense
Tense may be written as either present or
past.
e.
Modal
The next item to appear the auxiliary is
modal. Since it is optimal, it is placed within parentheses that are used to
indicate that an item may or may not be chosen.
f.
Negative
form
The negative form indicated by the word ‘not’
also appears under the auxiliary. The helping verb that precedes the word ‘not
also comes fros the auxiliary.
g.
Predicate
and complement
h.
Adverb

RESEARCH
METHOD
This chapter presents the method used to
analyzed the data. In addition to that, I also wants to show the ways how to
analyze the data by using the related theory dealing with the topic of this
study.
3.1 Research
Design
Wiersman (1991:14) stated that quantitative
research relies heavily as statictical result represented with number,
qualitative research relies heavily on narrative text description.
3.2 Data
Source
The data of the study are the The
Fox and The Crow short story.
3.3 Data
Collection
In collecgting the data the steps is:
1.
Read to
the short story
2.
Read it
carefully again focusing on the text
3.
Choosing
the text to be analyzed from each parts
randomly
4.
Writing
down all the choosen text to be analyzed
REFERENCE
THE
FOX AND THE CROW
A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a
piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree.
"That's
for me, as I am a Fox," said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot
of the tree.
"Good
day, Mistress Crow," he cried. "How well you are looking today: how
glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass
that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from
you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds."
The Crow
lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her
mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master
Fox.
"That
will do," said he. "That was all I wanted. In exchange for your
cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future: "Do not trust flatterers.
