ABSTRACT

NENG MILIK WULANSARI: THE LEXICOGRAMMATICAL ANALYSIS

OF PROCEDURAL TEXT IN SOME

SELECTED WEB MAGAZINES

Procedure text is one of the materials in lesson English. Usually, the teacher is

only explaining generic structure like goal, material, and steps in a procedural text. So

that, the students is just understood about generic structure and not understands about

others features in procedural text. In fact according to Wignel and Gerot composition

book, in procedure text there are generic structure and procedural text have also

lexicogrammatical features. So, the writer interest in analyzing the lexicogrammatical

analysis of procedural text in some selected web magazines.

Lexicogrammatical features of various genres are integral to those genres, for

it is through the lexicogrammatical choice that meaning is built up in a text. In this

case, analyzing lexicogrammatical feature especially is procedure text. According to

Gerot and Wignel (1994:206), lexicogrammatical explaining more detail about

temporal conjunction/linking words, generalized human agents, simple present

tense/imperative, material process/action verb, factual description of participant, and

information details in procedure text.

The writer was interest in analyzing the lexicogrammatical analysis of

procedural text in some selected web magazines. In doing all, the writer analyzes the

lexicogrammatical in procedural text by using qualitative research. The techniques of

collecting data are by library research to found further in information and some

theories related with subject matter from books, and browsing the websites from

internet there are 10 procedure texts as object in this study.

After data has been analyzed, the writer has concluded that the most complete

text and most complete perfect in 10 procedure texts is procedure text of making

candles, because there are 11 out of 11 elements of genre. Meanwhile, the function

does the lexicogrammatical in the selected texts’ play. They are; the

lexicogrammatical features can be measure completely of procedural text, the

lexicogrammatical features can compare writing of procedure text with other

procedure text, comparing completely of procedure text with other procedure text,

and difference and similarity of procedure text.

In conclusion, the writer found that the most complete text and most complete

perfect of lexicogrammatical in procedural text on some selected web magazines is

procedure text of making candles and there is function does lexicogrammatical in

procedure text. The writer hopes this thesis can give contribution to increase the

lexicogrammatical feature of procedure text for the teacher, the student and the next

researcher.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

A. The Background of the Problem

This study investigated “the lexicogrammatical analysis of procedural text

in some selected web magazines”. Lexicogrammatical is one of kinds from genre.

Genre is kinds of text. Parts of genre are social function, generic structure, and

lexicogrammatical features of text. According social function, genre they are

narrative, descriptive, procedure, recount, and so on. In this thesis will be

explained more about genre of procedural text.

Instructions belong to a group of text-types concerned with procedures,

which tell us how something is accomplished through a sequence of actions or

steps. It is a very important genre in our society because it enables us to get things

done, and it is equally common in the oral and written mode (Derewianka,

1990:27).

According to (Depdiknas, 2004:33) mention that procedure text tells how

something is accomplished through a sequence of action or steps. It includes set

of instruction how to do something works or directions to get to a certain place

and rules through a set of actions or steps.

Besides, procedure text many found and is easy to searched. Like at bale

from food product or other product, at newspaper, magazine, and more modern of

sophisticated or can be found at internet or web.

From web or internet founded some procedure text like how to tie a neck

tie, making ice cream without machine, how to iron a shirt, making apple juice,

making meatballs, boiling egg in simple and easy way, making candles, making

kite, how to insert SIM card cell phone, making potato omelet.

The most important of choosing procedural text as object of this thesis

because usually when the teacher teach about procedural text in the process of

teaching and learning, the teacher only explaining generic structure like goal,

material, and steps in a procedural text. So, students just understand about generic

structure and not understand about others features in procedural text. In fact

according to Wignel and Gerot composition book, in procedure text there are

generic structure (goal, material and steps), and procedural text have also

lexicogrammatical features. Lexicogrammatical explaining more detail about

temporal conjunction/linking words, generalized human agents, simple present

tense/imperative, material process/action verb, factual description of participant,

and information details in procedural text. So, these matters draw to be analyzed

in this thesis.

Lexicogrammar is called “syntax”, which is studied independently of

semantics. In other theories of grammar, wordings are characterized such that

they are able to explain meaning (Wignell and Gerot 1994:3).

According to Gerot and Wignell (1994:190), the nation’s genre and

grammar are closely linked. In the materials being produced about genres and

their teaching, at least those written by systemic linguist, characteristic

lexicogrammatical features of genres are provided. These are neither incidental

nor accidental, nor optional extras. Lexicogrammatical features of various genres

are integral to those genres, for it is through the lexicogrammatical choice that

meaning is built up in a text.

Lexeme which beforehand degrade lexicon and form adjective is lexical.

In lexeme term linguistics study used in its two areas, that is morphology study

and semantic study (Abdul Chaer, 2007:1). Semantically of lexeme can in the

form of headword, conjunction, suffix affix, and also forms is called idiom.

Lexicon which is have nomina status to have adjectival form which also have

inveterate used that is lexical, in meaning have the character of lexicon, like there

are at phrase mean lexical, lexical study, and lexical semantics.

According Sidney Greenbaum (1991:1), Grammar is the central

component of language. It mediates between the system of sounds of written

symbols, on the one hand, and the system of meaning, on the other. For

descriptive purposes, it is convenient to deal with the components of language

separately, but because of the central place of grammar in the language system, it

is sometime necessary to refer to the other components when we discuss the

grammar.

Dealing with description above, lexicogrammatical there are two words

are lexicon and grammar. But, in this thesis will be explaining more about

lexicogrammatical features of various genres, especially lexicogrammatical

features in text procedures.

In addition, this thesis concluded that important lexicogrammatical to be

studied specially at procedure text. Dealing with description above, this thesis

interested in describe for some reason. Firstly, this thesis interested in analyzing

lexicogrammatical constructed on procedural texts in some selected web

magazines. Secondly, this thesis interested in analyzing function does the

lexicogrammatical in the selected texts’ play.

B. The Identification of the Problem

The identification of the problem is needed to give clarification about the

problem that will be investigated. The writer arranged the identification of the

problem referred to the background of the problem above, they are:

1. The Field of the Study

The field of the research from this thesis is “grammar”.

2. The Research Approach

The research approach of this thesis is qualitative approach; that is to

collect, to arrange, to present, to analyze, to conclude, to make decision, to

interpret the data to be systematic, valid and reasonable, to control the

situation, and to draw attention to process meaning patterns and structural

features.

3. The Main Problem

The main problem that will be investigated in this research is analyzing

the lexicogrammatical of procedural text in some selected web magazines.

C. The Limitation of the Problem

In analysis about the lexicogrammatical of procedural text in some

selected web magazines, the description of the problem is limited into some

points, they are:

1. The analysis lexicogrammatical constructed on the procedural texts in

some selected web magazines.

2. The analysis function does the lexicogrammatical in the selected texts’

play.

D. The Questions of Problem

There are some questions in analizing about lexicogrammatical of

procedural texts on the selected web magazines, they are:

1. How is the lexicogrammar constructed on the procedural texts in some

selected web magazines?

2. What function does the lexicogrammar in the selected texts’ play?

E. The Aims of Research

The aims of the research round up description about research destination

that would like to reach from the research that will be done specifically. There are

some aims of this thesis arrangement, they are:

1. To find out the lexicogrammatical constructed on the procedural texts in

some selected web magazines.

2. To find out the function does the lexicogrammatical in the selected texts’

play.

F. The Uses of Research

This thesis product is hoped to be able to increase the development of

grammar education and language learning. Grammar development, it means

knowledge development that determines whether a given string belongs to the

language or is grammatically incorrect. Language learning, it means the

development of language studies trough grammar, as semantic, phonology,

syntax, and so on.

We are able to study semantic through grammar, we would lie to find out

many types of meaning and lexeme in each word, phrase, clause, and sentence

form of lexicogrammatical works. We would like to understand about how text

works through explicitly help learners learn how to understand and produce text-

spoken and written in various context for various purposes. In addition, the last

we would like to develop grammar skill through understanding structure of

sentences, phrases, clauses, words on the procedural texts.
