| Summary: | The aim of this research is to analyse adverbs which had raised issues in Malay
linguistics. Many language researchers have debated and discussed on adverbs in
Malay, yet no decision has been reached. Therefore, this study aims to describe the
forms and types of adverbs as well as to analyse the position of adverbs in the sentence
construction. Data of adverbs for the study were taken from the novel Azfa Hanani
written by Halis Azhan Mohd Hanafiah, students edition, 2010. This is a descriptive
research, using two approaches, i. e. library research and textual study. Some 303
adverbs were identified from the corpus. Ferdinand de Saussure‟s concept of
syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations were used to classify the data. The results show
that the data can be classified into four forms of adverbs, i. e. kata adverba jati (natural
adverbs), kata adverba asalnya kata adjektif (originally adjective adverbs), kata
adverba asalnya kata kerja (originally verb adverbs) and kata adverba gandaan
(duplicated adverbs). This research also attempts to classify adverbs into seven types,
based on the definision and classification of several prominent linguists, i. e. adverbs of
manner, time, place, frequency, emphasis, feeling and uncertainty. The study also uses
the tree structure technique which was introduced by Noam Chomsky in the GenerativeTransformation
theory to identify the position of adverbs in sentences. It is found that
adverbs can be present in the subject, the predicate and parts of the predicate. The study
concludes that adverbs can be modifiers to nouns/noun phrases, verbs/verb phrases,
adjectives/adjective phrases, prepositional phrases, other adverbs and to the whole
sentence, whether in front, behind or simultaneously in front and behind the modified
item. |
