Key Word : Nominal Group Construction, ten Korean film synopsis.

Nominal group is a group of word which has a noun (a word which names

a person, place or thing) as its head word and including all addition information

related to that noun. It can be analyzed under two function structure: which

experiential structure and logical structure. The writer chooses to analyze the ten

the synopsis restricted and package. Moreover, because now days Korean film

have big effect in the film industry. Next, it is because nominal group are seen

clearly in the written language especially in film synopsis based on the reasons,

the writer interested to analyze nominal groups in the ten Korean film synopsis.

The objective of the research are (1) To find out find the nominal group

in ten Korean film synopsis,(2)To find out the function constructions of nominal

group found in the ten Korean film synopsis (3)to describe the most dominant

structure kind of nominal group in ten Korean film synopsis .

The design of this research is descriptive qualitative. Whereas, the data of

this research is nominal group and the data source of this research is the ten

Korean film synopsis. The structure are gotten and concluded by analyzing the

two function of nominal group which are experiential and logical in the data

source.

Based on the analyzing of the data, the writer found that there are 677

nominal group in the data source, in analyzing the experiential structure of

nominal group contain 7 elements; Deictic, Post-Deictic, Numerative, Epithet,

Classifier, Thing and Qualifier, the writer found that there are 23 structure which

construct 677 nominal group in the ten Korean film synopsis. Those constructs

are 390 Deictic and Thing , 11 Numerative and Thing, 10 Classifier and Thing,

18 Epithet and Thing, 1 Post Deictic and thing, 54 Deictic, Classifier and Thing,

110 Deictic, Epithet and Thing, 14 Deictic, Numerative and Thing, 9 Deictic,

Post Deictic and Thing, 33 Deictic, Thing and Qualifier, 2 Numertive, Epithet

and Thing, 1 Numerative, Classifier and Thing, 1 Numerataive, Thing and

Qualifier, 1 Epithet, Classifier and Thing, 7 Deictic, Epithet, Thing and Qualifier,

5 Deictic, Epithet, Classifier and Thing, 3 Deictic, Classifier, Thing and

Qualifier, 1 Deictic, Post Deictic, Epithet, Thing, 1 Deictic, Post Deictic, Epithet,

and Thing , 1 Deictic, Numerative, Epithet, Thing and Qualifier, 1 Deictic,

Numerative, Epithet, Classifier and Thing, 2 Deictic, Numerative, Thing and

Qualifier and 1Deictic, Numerative, Classifier, Thing and Qualifier . the most

dominant elements is Deictic and Thing since it prove by total of 390 structures.

While in analyzing the logical structure of nominal group which contains

of 3 elements: pre-modifier, head, post-modifier, the writer found that there are 2

x

structures that construct 677 nominal group in the ten Korean film synopsis.

Those structure are; 644 Pre-modifier and Head and 33 Pre- modifier, Head and

Post- modifier. The most dominant elements is pre-modifier and head since it

prove by total of 644 structure.

Therefore, the writer suggests that the reader can add their knowledge

about nominal group by concerning the two function structure of nominal group

at the same in order to achieve the comprehensive understanding about nominal

group. Moreover. For the English Education Department Students of Muria

Kudus University can be motivates to enrich their knowledge about the nominal

group structure in order to create good sentences. In addition, the lecture can also

motivate their student to create good text by enriching their knowledge bout

nominal group.

ABSTRAK

Sari, Desi Triana. 2014. Nominal Group di sepuluh synopsis film Korea. Program

Kata kunci : Nominal Group, Sepuluh Synopsis Film Korea

Group nominal adalah sekelompok kata yang memiliki kata benda (kata

yang merupakan nama orang, tempat atau benda) sebagai kata benda utama dan

seluruh informasi tambahan yang berkenaan dengan kata benda tersebut. Group

ini dapat di analisa dalam dua strukture fungsi: yaitu struktur experiential dan

struktur logical. Penulis memilih group nominal di sepuluh synopsis film korea

karena group nominal memiliki peranan penting untuk membuat batasan dan

pengemasan. Selain itu karena dewasa ini film korea memiliki dampak yang

besar dalam industry perfileman. Selanjutnya, hal ini di karenakan group nominal

dapat terlihat secara jelas di dalam bahasa penulisan terutama yang mempunyai

klausa komplek termasuk dalam synopsis film. Berdasarkan alas an- alasan

tersebut, penulis tertarik menganalisis goup nominal di sepuluh synopsis film

korea.

Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu (1)untuk menemukan structure nominal

group di sepuluh film synopsis korea(2)untuk mendapatkan struktur-struktur

fungsi grup nominal yang ditemukan dalam sepuluh synopsis film korea (3)

mengetahui structure yang mendominasi di sepuluh synopsis film korea.

Bentuk penelitian ini adalah deskripsi kualitatif. Sedangkan data

penelitian ini adalah nominal group. Dan sumber data penelitian ini adalah

sepuluh synopsis film korea. Struktur-struktur tersebut diperoleh dan

disimpulkan dengan menganalisa dua struktur fungsi dari grup nominal yaitu

experiential dan logical di dalam sumber data penelitia.

Berdasarkan analisa data, penulis menemukan bahwa ada 677 grup

nominal didalam sumber data. Dalam menganalisis struktur experiential

grup nominal yang terdiri dari 7 elemen: Deictic, Post-Deictic, Numerative,

Epithet, Classifier, Thing and Qualifier, penulis menemukan bahwa ada 23

struktur yang membangun grup nominal di sepuluh synopsis film korea.

Struktur-struktur tersebut adalah: 390 Deictic dan Thing , 11 Numerative dan

Thing, 10 Classifier and Thing, 18 Epithet and Thing, 1 Post Deictic and thing,

54 Deictic, Classifier dan Thing, 110 Deictic, Epithet dan Thing, 14 Deictic,

Numerative dan Thing, 9 Deictic, Post Deictic dan Thing, 33 Deictic, Thing dan

Qualifier, 2 Numertive, Epithet and Thing, 1 Numerative, Classifier and Thing, 1

Numerataive, Thing dan Qualifier, 1 Epithet, Classifier dan Thing, 7 Deictic,

Epithet, Thing dan Qualifier, 5 Deictic, Epithet, Classifier dan Thing, 3 Deictic,

Classifier, Thing dan Qualifier, 1 Deictic, Post Deictic, Epithet, Thing, 1 Deictic,

Post Deictic, Epithet, dan Thing , 1 Deictic, Numerative, Epithet, Thing dan

Qualifier, 1 Deictic, Numerative, Epithet, Classifier and Thing, 2 Deictic,

xii

Numerative, Thing dan Qualifier and 1Deictic, Numerative, Classifier, Thing dan

Qualifier Elemen yang paling dominan yaitu Deictic dan Thing, karena

terbukti dengan jumlah struktur 390. Sementara itu, dalam menganalisa

struktur logical grup nominal yang terdiri dari 3 elemen: Pre-Modifier,

Head, Post-Modifier, penulis menemukan bahwa ada 2 struktur yang

membangun grup nominal di dalam sepuluh synopsis film korea. Struktur-

struktur tersebut yaitu: 644 Pre-modifier dan Head and 33 Pre-modifier,Head

dan Post-modifier. Elemen yang paling dominan yaitu Pre-Modifier dan

Head, karena terbukti dengan jumlah struktur 644.

Oleh karena itu, penulis menganjurkan agar para pembaca dapat

menambah pengetahuannya tentang grup nominal dengan memperhatikan

dua struktur fungsi grup nominal secara bersamaan agar mencapai pemahaman

secara menyeluruh tentang grup nominal. Terlebih lagi bagi mahasiswa

Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris di Universitas Muria Kudus dapat termotivasi untuk

memperkaya pengetahuan mereka tentang struktur grup nominal agar dapat

mengasilkan kalima-kalimat yang baik. Sebagai tambahan, bagi para dosen

Program Studi Bahasa Inggris Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan

Universitas Muria Kudus dapat memotivasi mahasiswanya untuk menghasilkan

text yang baik dengan memperkaya pengetahuan mereka tentang grup nominal.
