Abstract

This is a preliminary research on problem solving on English verbal sentence formation for university students. Specifically, the problem is on the usage of auxiliary verbs in making sentences. This problem is met up with a new paradigm (pattern) in which the pattern is mapped out with keywords. Keywords are purposed to ease the students in applying auxiliary verbs when they are making English sentences. The new pattern is tested by a test before and after the introduction of the new pattern and by interviewing ten students to know their opinion about the benefit of the new pattern. The result shows that there is a significant decrease of errors made by the students after the introduction of the new pattern. The decrease achieves 49%. Furthermore, the whole interviewees’ responses show that the new pattern really helps them in making English sentence properly.

Diathesis is a grammatical category that shows the relationship between the participant or subject and the action stated by the verb in the clause. In general, the languages of the world have an active-passive diathesis strategy. This research applies the theory of diathesis proposed by Lyon and adopts descriptive qualitative method in which comparative and inductive treatments are made to the collected data through phenomenological approach. The data (Siladang language) are collected from 2223 informants (native speakers of Siladang language) who live in Sipaga-paga Village and 2006 informants who live in Aek Banir Village.  Then, the data are classified based on the language features in universal language empirically. This research shows that Sialdang language has an active-passive diathesis which is one of the important characteristics in an accusative typological language. Apart from having an active-passive diathesis, Siladang language also has a medial diathesis.

Therefore, the problem in this research is focused on the formation of abbreviations and acronyms in communication on social media. Data collection was carried out by visiting 20 accounts on social media such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Whatsapp Groups and collecting forms of abbreviations and acronyms used by social media users. The data from this study are forms of abbreviations and acronyms that have been collected from social media. Furthermore, the data were analyzed qualitatively referring to the theory of Kridalaksana (2010). This study found that there are six forms of abbreviations and acronyms used by social media users, namely: 1. Perpetuation of the first letter of each component, 2. Perpetuation of the first two letters of each component, 3. Perpetuation of the first three letters of each component, 4. Perpetuation of the first two letters of the first component and the first three letters of the second component, 5. The preservation of the last syllable of each component, 6. The preservation of various letters and syllables that are difficult to formulate. Furthermore, there were also two formations of abbreviations and acronyms that did not fix to the rules for the formation of abbreviations and acronyms in the General Indonesian Spelling Guidelines, namely, first, the formation of abbreviations and acronyms by preserving the letters of two or three components based on sound or pronunciation of these components. Second, the formation of abbreviations and acronyms perpetuates elements or sounds that are considered to represent the meaning of the components experiencing abbreviations and acronyms. Both of these formations are carried out by perpetuating any letters and syllables of one component that appear to have no relationship or connection with the components undergoing the process of abbreviations and acronyms.
