The discussion in this paper is focused on the ellipsis of grammatical functions in Japanese covering that of the function of grammatical of coordinative structure. The data analyzed in this paper were taken from Japanese corpus data. The concept of ellipsis was taken from Quirk et al., (1985), Makino & Tsutsui, (1994), and Verhaar (1981). The ellipsis from Quirk et al (1985) was applied the concept of recoverability from the grammatical point of view: (1) textual recoverability, (2) situational recoverability, and (3) structural recoverability. The qualitative and synchronic descriptive method was employed in this study. A qualitatively descriptive method was employed to explain and describe the coordinative sentence, whereas the synchronic approach was used to cover the current language phenomena. The findings show that in the coordinative structure, ellipsis of the function of grammatical subject, ellipsis the function of predicate and ellipsis of the function of object took place. Ellipsis of the function of grammatical in the coordinative structure can be anaphoric or cataphoric. It is called anaphoric because the ellipsis takes place rightward, the controlling constituents are located in the first clauses and the controlled constituents are located in the second clause. It is called cataphoric because the controlling constituents are located in the second clauses and the controlled constituents are located in the first clauses.
In an attempt to increase reading performance at university level. This study aims at perceiving the experiential determinants of EFL students’ online reading performance. Data were collected from 182 undergraduate students’ self-rated questionnaire based on the assigned Indonesian folklores in English version through the online reading platforms. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and factor analysis. The results showed that EFL students’ reading habits and reading frequencies and trends were very supportive, whilst reading effectiveness and reading for pleasure supported their reading performance. Tests of chi-square’s four variables were statistically significant indicating the proportional majority of online reading activity. Meanwhile, the Principal Components Analysis (PCA) indicated two components and variables under the eigenvalues’ square root. The interpretation of two components was coherent with the pilot results on the online reading readability scale, analyzed the use of positive and negative affect items as undertaken from the pattern and structure matrix for PCA with the Obliging rotation. EFL students’ online reading is engaging accordingly since students accomplished their reading performance based on individual accessibilities and habits to understand the contents of genres. This study concludes that EFL students’ online reading performance has been practically facilitated by the technology devices multiply. Hence, four online reading variables increased EFL students’ reading awareness and performance accordingly.
The focus of this article is about ellipsis that occurs in the discourse in the Balinese folklore. Ellipsis is a part of the cohesiveness of a discourse so that it becomes a complete discourse. The research method used is descriptive qualitative analysis. This study uses ellipsis theory from Halliday and Hasan which is supported by McCarthy's ellipsis deixis theory. The data source was taken from a collection of tales in the Balinese language, namely the book Pupulan Satua Bali II. The results of this study indicate that the ellipsis that occurs in the book of fairy tales is in the form of nominal ellipsis which refers to humans (people) in the conversation and story prologue, verbal ellipsis that occurs in fairy tale conversations, refers to lexical ellipsis in the verb word class, and the ellipsis of clauses because clauses are considered as expressions of speech functions, such as statements, questions, responses, and clauses that have a structural part consisting of core and propositional elements. Even though there is an ellipsis, the process of conveying the content and message of the story is still effective.
This research generally aims to provide a reference regarding the analysis of grammatical errors in students' English narrative essays. In particular, the purpose of this study is focused on describing the forms of grammatical errors and identifying the factors that cause grammatical errors made by the eleventh-grade students of SMA Dwijendra Denpasar in writing narrative texts. The method in this study is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Further, the data from this study were collected by using the simak and the interview method to obtain information about the forms and factors of errors in students' narrative writing. Furthermore, this research data was analyzed qualitatively based on the taxonomy of linguistic categories proposed by Dulay et al. (1982) which focused on the linguistic components of morphology and syntax. Meanwhile, the factors that cause language errors were analyzed by the theory proposed by Richard (1970). Then the analysis of this research is presented in an informal method. Based on the results of the study, the forms of grammatical errors of the students, include the morphological category such as; indefinite errors, cases of misuse of possessive forms, errors of using verbs for the third person singular, simple past tense errors, and past participle errors. Afterward, the syntax error categories such as; noun phrase errors, prepositional phrase errors, verb phrase errors, errors in the use of progressive tense where students replace the suffix '-ing' with simple verb forms, the suitability of the subject with other words and word order. In addition, Factors that influence the existence of grammatical errors in English narrative essays for class XI students of SMA Dwijendra Denpasar include the influence of elements or rules of mother tongue in the second language and errors made by the learner due to the complexity of the rules of the language he is studying, such as; cases of overgeneralization, neglect of the boundaries of language rules and errors in concept hypotheses.
This study aimed to describe the dative case verbs in Japanese syntactically and semantically. Specifically, it aimed to explore the verbs that take an indirect object (IO) in the Japanese sentences. The theories used in this research were the theory of Givon (2001), and Nitta (1991). The data used in this research were the data obtained from Japanese corpus.
