The ellipsis of grammatical functions in coordinative structure of Japanese language

Abstract

The discussion in this paper is focused on the ellipsis of grammatical functions in Japanese covering that of the function of grammatical of coordinative structure. The data analyzed in this paper were taken from Japanese corpus data. The concept of ellipsis was taken from Quirk et al., (1985), Makino & Tsutsui, (1994), and Verhaar (1981). The ellipsis from Quirk et al (1985) was applied the concept of recoverability from the grammatical point of view: (1) textual recoverability, (2) situational recoverability, and (3) structural recoverability. The qualitative and synchronic descriptive method was employed in this study. A qualitatively descriptive method was employed to explain and describe the coordinative sentence, whereas the synchronic approach was used to cover the current language phenomena. The findings show that in the coordinative structure, ellipsis of the function of grammatical subject, ellipsis the function of predicate and ellipsis of the function of object took place. Ellipsis of the function of grammatical in the coordinative structure can be anaphoric or cataphoric. It is called anaphoric because the ellipsis takes place rightward, the controlling constituents are located in the first clauses and the controlled constituents are located in the second clause. It is called cataphoric because the controlling constituents are located in the second clauses and the controlled constituents are located in the first clauses.

Mapping Grammatical Relations of English Verbs

“…The same theory and understanding was also presented by Aryani (2019) who framed the theory of Quirk to refer the concept of grammatical function. However, this study tried to analyze the ellipsis of the function in coordinative structure.…”

Verbal compression as the implementation of universal tendency of compensative processes in the lingual world

“…Lexical inventory "is closely connected with the fragmentation of our surrounding reality with the emphasis on certain values in the outer (nature and society) and inner human being (human mentality etc.) (Aryani, 2019;Ginaya et al, 2018). Although, as we have already mentioned, not all elements of conceptual systems "are attached" to the linguistic forms, and not all subjects, phenomena, processes, and properties are given their names in the subject world, the opposite idea is true: everything, which is called by a separate word, singled out by the human mind, attracted human attention for one reason or another, have already entered the fund of knowledge shared with other people".…”

Struktur dan Sifat Pelesapan dalam Cerita Rakyat Bali

“…Penelitian Dunung menggunakan beberapa teori, yaitu teori elipsis, dan teori sintaktis bahasa Bali. Aryani (2019) dalam artikel "The Ellipsis of Grammatical Functions in Coordinative Structure of Japanese Language" menunjukkan bahwa struktur koordinatif Bahasa Jepang memungkinkan terjadi pelesapan dalam subjek, predikat, maupun objek. Terdapat dua sifat pelesapan yang ditemukan yaitu anaporik dan kataporik.…”
