THE APPLICATION OF THE GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS OF GERUND PHRASES IN THE SHORT STORIES IN HELLO MAGAZINE

Abstract

Language is everywhere. People use language to talk about everything. Most human knowledge and culture are stored and transmitted in language. It also conveys our thoughts and mediates our relations with others. Finocchiaro states that language is a system of arbitrary, vocal symbols which permits all people in a given culture, to communicate or to interact (in Alwasilah:1989:2)
