| dc.description.abstract | Verb and verb phrase that function as predicate are the central part in a
sentence because they show an action of the subject (Frank, 1972). In producing
verb and verb phrase, the learners are expected to understand and apply the
correct form so that the verb and verb phrase deviation do not occur. This study
focuses on verb and verb phrase deviation appeared on a fan fiction story entitled
The Big Five: Knight Princess published in wattpad and written by a foreign
language learner. The purposes of this study are to show the description about the
types of verb and verb phrase error found on the object, to know the most
dominant error type found, and to provide the appropriate expressions from the
erroneous form. The data are obtained from 187 sentences of the whole story that
consist of 223 verb and verb phrase errors as predicate. The data are categorized
based on Surface Strategy Taxonomy by Dulay et al. (1982). They are omission,
addition (double markings, regularization, simple addition), misformation
(regularization, archi-forms, and alternating forms), and misordering. However,
archi-forms that is subcategory of misformation is not applied since it does not
categorize verb and verb phrase error. The data analysis method used is based on
Ellis' ways (in Saville-Troike, 2006). The ways are collection, identification,
description, explanation, and evaluation of errors. However, evaluation is not used
because this study does not focus on the seriousness of errors. The findings are
omission: 33.63%, addition- double markings: 0.9%, addition- regularization:
4.03%, addition- simple addition: 21.08%, misformation- regularization: 0.45%,
misformation- alternating forms: 39.01%, and misordering: 0.9%. It shows that
the most dominant type of verb and verb phrase error is misformation type and
alternating forms as its subcategory. | en_US |
