INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of Study
One
of the branches in Linguistics is “Syntax”. Syntax is the science that study
about how to arrange or construct the words (phrase) of Language to be well
sentences which are accepted by the Native speaker. Syntax, moreover also
encompasses systems and rules of Language, and those must be constructed
according to frozen Language of English as conventional. Syntax, in this case,
can be divided into two terms, that is: surface and deep structures. In Syntax,
in addition to, to prove the sentence is well or not, must be performed and
analyzed do not only throughout surfaces one, but also in deep structures
(Seno, 2001).
Syntactic class is one having a distinctive functional potential; the words
derived by a particular lexical process, however, will not be referred to by
any rule of syntax (Huddleston, 1984:26). There are grouped into:
(1)
Words
Richards, et al (1985:1213) said that one or more sounds which can be spoken to
represent an idea, object, action, etc. the smallest unit spoken language which
has meaning and stand alone.
Spencer (1991:43), a word is the smallest that can exist its own.
So, based on theories above, word is a unit of
language, consisting of one or more spoken sounds or their written
representation, that functions as a principal carrier of meaning. One word can
be consisted of one morpheme or more. A word that only has one morpheme is
called by simple word. In other hand, a word that has more than one morpheme is
called by complex word.
Examples:
Simple word:
buy (one morpheme)
Complex word: unpredictable
(three morphemes: un + predict + able).
Word also can be used to mention a word that can be
seen by our eyes and not.
Examples: door,
adore

Phrases
A phrase is a group of word which forms a
grammatical unit, a phrase does not contains a finite verb and does not have a
subject-predicate structure (Richard, 1985:39).
A phrase is a group of words that is missing a
subject, a verb, or both (Reid, 2000:290)
Quirk, et al. (1985:60) said that the five formal
categories of phrase are verb phrase, noun phrase, adjective phrase, adverb
phrase, and preposition phrase.
a.
Verb phrase
Verb phrase
minimally consists of a single verb followed by a noun phrase, adverb phrase,
and prepositional phrase (Carnie, 2007:72).
