The study entitled English Compound Adjective with Special Reference to Tourism Website aims to analyze the constructions of compound adjectives found in Tourism website, explaining their syntactic functions and meaning. The data were taken from several tourism websites on internet, they are, Discover Hong Kong, Wonderful Indonesia, Italian Tourism Official Website, and Visit the USA. Firstly, the tourism websites were accessed and website pages were printed. Secondly, the website pages that had been printed were carefully read in order to find out the compound adjective. Thirdly, the relevant data on the print out were marked and phrase containing the data were noted. Then, the data were listed according to its right-hand component of compound. The data were analyzed based on the theories adopted in this study. The grand theory used is the theory of word-formation proposed by Bauer (1983) to analyze the construction of compound adjective. Meanwhile, theory of syntactic function proposed by Quirk and theory of meaning developed by Palmer were used as the supporting theories. The findings reveal that there are five patterns constructing the compound adjectives in tourism website being analyzed; they are: noun + adjective, adjective + adjective, adverb + adjective, noun + noun, and adjective + noun. The compound adjectives found mostly have attributive functions in which the compound adjective pre-modifies the noun. Moreover, most of the compound adjectives found are transparent in their meaning, which is easily determined from the constituents that construct the compound adjectives.
This study is entitled Pronunciation Errors in Students' English-Speaking Performance. It aims at analyzing pronunciation errors found in students' speaking performance. Besides, this study also investigates the factors that cause pronunciation errors in student speaking performance. The data of this study were obtained from the results of a speaking test conducted on 8th Grader of Class C Students of SMP Negeri 2 Blahbatuh, Gianyar Regency, Bali, Indonesia. The test was done by asking students to briefly told their experiences during the holidays. The documentation method was used to obtain the data from oral material (speaking performance). A note-taking technique was applied to mark down the relevant data for the study. The data of the study were qualitatively analysed based on theory of phonological errors by Keshavarz (2012), and factors causing errors by Brown (2000). The analysis of this study was presented in informal methods. In the informal method, each problem in this study was presented narratively to make the analysis understood easily. The finding reveals that there are several errors found in students' speaking performance. Errors include pronunciation errors of English vowels, consonants, and diphthong. The cause of errors in pronunciation of English consonants and English vowels is the intralingual and interlingual factors. Pronunciation errors of English consonant are mostly caused by interlingual factors, while vowel pronunciation errors tend to be caused by intralingual factors.
