1.1. Background of the Study
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 criticize. 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 languages is syntax. Gleason (1961: 128)
defines syntax as the principles of arrangement of the construction formed by
the process of derivation 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 substitutions for
each element of the basic types.????????????????????????????????????
