dc.description.abstract | This thesis categorizes sentences into the types of sentence by analyzing and
showing the verb phrases from the Preface of Affect in Language Learning. A
sentence that could be broken down consists of many elements. The major elements
of sentence are noun phrase (NP) and verb phrase (VP). Usually, noun phrase in the
form of a noun is used as subject. Then, verb phrase consists of many elements in
which one of them is a verb used as predicate. The problems which are discussed in
this thesis are categorizing the types of sentence by analyzing constituents and
represent ing verb phrases. The VP could be found after the subject. The VP that also
consists of many elements could be shown by using tree diagram. By diagramming
the VP, it presents the elements of VP. This thesis applies library research to get the
data and information which are from several books. The result is tree diagram applied
to the verb phrases to show constituents such as AS+V+NP+ AdjP+AdvP+PP.
Focusing on the role of tree diagram on the verb phrase in catching message, it is
clear that tree diagram could help the message of a text (preface of Affect in
Language Learning) be caught. In realit y, tree diagram could show the relation of
words or phrases and the most important word exactly in VP that is a verb as the
action of the subject. | en_US |
