1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Background of the Study
Language is a medium of communication. It is important thing in human
life Since without language, we cannot make interaction. By using language
someone could make statements, explain or report something and keep social
relations among the other person.
Siswanto (2008:19) says that bahasa yang digunakan di dalam karya
sastra adalah bahasa yang dikenal oleh masyarakat pemakai bahasa itu, bahasa
natural (The language used in the literature is the language known by the public
users of the language, natural language). Furthermore Winston (1993:21) says
that language is the same no matter what system of writing may be used to
record it, just as a person is the same no matter how you take his pitcure, the
most of the language that are spoken today has been applied either in relatively
recent times.Owen (2006:1) says that language can be difined as a socially
shared combination of those symbols and rule governed combinations of those
symbols. Language which is governed by the provisions in questions as above is
a cultural and also grammar, language has a very close relationship with
grammar where language is a series of rules to learn grammar, rules governing
use of language for forming a sentence. Moreover, we have seen to what extent
situation conditions the way in which people speak or write. It will be helpful at
this point to outline a grammar model which relates to a sentence structure in
2
When to described the sentences in the novel, grammar is needed to help
us understand about how to make a sentences in paragraph and interesting.
Grammar teach us how to read, speak, and write english clear and right.
Hancock (2005:6) says, “Grammar is the natural, inherent, meaning
making system of the language, and a system that governs the ways word come
together to form meanings. Grammar is also a study of that system, the various
theories or perspective that attempt to understand. Grammar is the structure of a
language that explains the how words are used in writing and speech.”
Baker (2007:22) says, “Traditional defines eight parts of speech for
English: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction and
interjenction. Grammars often define these categories according to the meaning
of the word they contain; a noun names a thing, a verb describes an action and so
forth.”
Frank (1990:1) says, “ Traditionally, word can be classified into eight
parts of speech such as noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, conjunction,
preposition, and interjection.”
Conjunction as one of the parts of speech that use in writing and very
important to learn about it. Conjunction have a functions when we write some of
sentences. It can connects two or more sentences, clauses, or part of clauses. The
conjunction have two parts. They are coordinating conjunction and
subordinating conjunction. Basically in the sentences, we often use the
coordinate conjunction that contain (for,and,but,because,nor,or,yet).
3
subordinate clauses that give some information abot the relationship between the
two ideas is called conjunction. They are while, become, althought, since, when,
whether, before, until, than, as, as if, in order that, so that, whenever, and
wherever.
Conjunction is really interesting to learn it. The writer like to read the
story in the novel The Man in the Iron Mask because the novel contains about
politic, love, and scramble for the throne. The writer choosed the topic because it
contains of conjunctions.
There are the examples sentences in the novel:
1.) He was bound to extinguish his lamp, and we perceive how much he
was favored, in being allowed to keep it burning even till then.
2.) The turnkey, the same who, on Aramis’s first arrival had shown
himself so inquisitive and curious, was now not only silent, but impossible.
In the example of conjunction, we can looked by the sentence. It contains
of coordinating conjunction and subordinating conjunction. In sentence one,
“and” is used to join two object independent clause. Sentence 2, “and” & “not
only...but” is used to join two object phrases.
The examples showed that the conjunction function in the sentence are
explaining to describe that are related to each other in meaning in the sentences
by using connector and combine it become relationship between two sentences.
1.2 The Problem of the Study
4
1) What types of conjunction are found in the Novel “The Man in the
Iron Mask”?
2) What are the transformation structure of conjunction?
1.3 The Scope of the Study
The scope of the study is important. Conjunction have a functions when
we write some of sentences. It can connects two or more sentences, clauses, or
part of clauses. So, conjunction also need to use in writing. This study is
focused on conjunction, especially coordinating and subordinating conjunction
used in “The Man in the Iron Mask Novel”.
1.4 The Purpose of the Study
The purpose of the study are:
1.) To find out the types of conjunction used in the Novel “The Man in the
Iron Mask”
2.) To know about the transformation structure of conjunction
1.5 The Reason for Choosing the Topic
The writer choose the topic because conjunction is really important and
interesting to learn. Conjunction is part of speech in grammar, so when we learn
it, we can get a knowledge about how to write a sentences in paragraph by using
conjunction. In the other side, conjunction can connecting two sentences when
we combine it. So, when we writes a paragraph we can used conjunction become
a good sentences.
5
Library research needs to get the information in solving a problem, to
fulfill an academic assignment or for our own purpose. This method is used to
find a certain data by collecting some books that relevant to described the
conjunction.
1.7 Review of Related Literature
In fact, where conjunctions leave off and other connectives take up maybe difficult to determine but the conjunction can connecting two sentences or
pharases. The Conjunctions have two part. They are Coordinating Conjunctions
and Subordinating Conjunction. Coordinating Conjunctions join two items of
equal important but Subordinating Conjunctions introduces a dependent clause
which depends on the rest of the sentences for its meaning and cannot stand alone.

2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1 Grammar
Woods (2010:9-10) says, “ Grammar also means a set of standart that you
have to follow in order to speak and write better. Functional grammar guides you
to the right expression- the one that fits what you’re trying to say-by ensuring that
the sentence is correct.”
Hancock (2005:6) says, “Grammar is the natural, inherent, meaning
making system of the language, and a system that governs the ways word come
together to form meanings. Grammar is also a study of that system, the various
theories or perspective that attempt to understand. Grammar is the structure of a
language that explains the how words are used in writing and speech.”
Baker (2007:22) says, “Traditional defines eight parts of speech for
English: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction and
interjenction. Grammars often define these categories according to the meaning of
the word they contain; a noun names a thing, a verb describes an action and so
forth.”
Frank (1990:1) says, “ Traditionally, word can be classified into eight
parts of speech such as noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, conjunction,
preposition, and interjection.”
2.2 Conjunctions
Conjunctions as one of the parts of speech is a subject that need to
understand in writing. To explain and clear about the conjunctions function, the
7
conjunctions is a situation in which two or more things happen at the same time in
the same place.”
Jeffrey (1985:142) says that conjunctions were “linking” or “joining”
words, which joining togetger various thing then any word could occur. Then,
according to Conjunction is the words that can connect two or more clauses or
sentences in the same time or space and in the same clauses.
2.2.1 The defenition of conjunction
Conjunctions are usually defined as words that link sentence elements.
This defenition can be little misleading since conjunctions often come at the
beginning of sentences where they do not appear to link anything. Suryadi and
Junaida (2007 : 167) define conjunction as a word connector used to join words,
phrases, and clauses in a sentence, while Arnold and Raymond (2003 : 114) says
that conjunction are connectors that can perform small jobs such as joining simple
work, or bigger task such as linking phrases.
When using a conjunction, they can take independent clause and
dependent clause. Basically, they’re join in two or more sentences. Conjunction
must be distinguished from preposition, relative pronouns, adjective clause or
adverb that is also connecting words.
Examples:
1. I really don’t care and never want to look at your face. (adverb)
2. The man are sitting beside me as my headmaster. ( preposition )
8
4. This is a cake that my mother bought. ( relative pronoun )
5. The girl that talked with me is humoris. ( adjective clauses )
2.2.2 The Types of Conjunction
Sidney and Randolph (1990) says that there are two types of conjunction,
coordinate conjunction and subordinate conjunction. Both coordination and
subordination involve the linking of units; but in coordination the units are on the
same syntatic level, whereas in subordination one of the units is a constituent of a
superordinate unit.
1. Coordinating Conjunction
Akhmad says that coordinate conjunction is a word connector that
connecting two clauses that equivalent, it means between one sentence is not
depend to other sentence.
Coordinating conjunction have four types, they are:
1. Cumulative
Cumulative conjunctions marely add one statement to another.
They are and, as well as, not only...but also, and both...and

4. Illative
Illative conjunctions express something inferred from another
statement or fact.
They are therefore, so that, then, and for.
Examples:

liquefactions clashed and combated an instant beneath a majestic dome
of smoke; then oscillated, declined, fell successively the mighty

stiff old men, then prostrating themselves, lay down forever in their
dusty tomb. (page 498)
Spare me in my ephemeral happiness, leave it to me for a few days, for
a few minutes ( 571)
2. Subordinating Conjunction
Geraldine (2010) says that subordinate conjunctionemphasize that
one idea (the “boss,” and independent clause, the equivalent of a complete
sentence) is more important than the other (the “employee” or subordinate
clause). The conjunction joining boss and employee give some information
about the relationship between the two ideas. Frank (1972:215) says that a
subordinate conjunction introduces a clause that depends on a main or
independent clause. Suryadi and Junaida says that subordinating conjunction
is connector which is used to join subordinate clause and main clause in
complex sentence. Subordinating show the grammatical function of
24
There are the examples of subordinating conjunction:
1.) She don’t care which thing it is. ( noun clause ).
2.) The man who sit beside me take the money from her. ( adjective clause )
3.) Come on let me go before i kill you guys. (adverb clause)
There are ten types of subordinating conjunctions, they are:
1. Apposition
The apposition’s conjunction is that
Examples:
I was astonished that the abbe had so warlike an air, and they replied
that there was nothing singular in that, seing that he was one (10) The fact is, that i must have been looking particulary handsome (66)

Bragelonne made this reply in such a tone that monseigneur answered
him warmly, 'Vrai Dieu! Young man, one would say that your mouth
waters for death (561)
2. Cause
The cause’s conjunction are because, since, and as
Examples:
Let us go to the king’s tailor, he said; and since he measures the king, i
think by my faith (41)
Far from it, my good fellow, since I have brought Marchiali back to you,
and all accordingly is just the same as if he had never left." (177)

as many staircases leading out of it as are to be found in the mysterious and gloomy palaces of Ann Radcliffe's creation. (174)
3. Comparison
The comparison’s conjunction are than, more...than, and as...as
Examples:
27

28
4. Contrast
The contrast conjunction are although, even though, though
Examples:
A courier came in about eight o’clock as Francois brought in the fifth bottle,
and although the courier made a great noise (83)
D'Artagnan cast his glance all round the room; and although he did not open
his lips (201)

The condition’s conjunction are if, unless, whether...or, even if, in case
and otherwise.
Examples:

troubles and given me repose from the tormenting fever that has preyed on
me for eight long, weary years (29)
30 middle of the general table (135)
D'Artagnan, still confused and oppressed by the conversation he had just had
with the king, could not resist asking himself if he were really in possession
of his senses, if he were really and truly at Vaux; if he, D'Artagnan, were
really the captain of the musketeers, and M. Fouquet the owner of the
chateau in which Louis XIV. was at that moment partaking of his hospitality

the most important service of all." (255)
6. Purpose
The purpose’s conjunction are so that, in order that, and in order to.
Examples:
They designate two pieces of furniture which reflect objects; so that, for
instance, you may see in them your own lineaments, as you see mine now,
with the naked eye (19)
You remember having related to me the story of the Roman general Antony,

7. Place
The Place’s conjunctions are where and wherever.
Examples:

in which we separate, a portion of both our souls should not travel with
33 8. Time
The time’s conjunction are after, before, when, while, since, as, and as
soon as.
Examples:

As soon as he came towards them, Porthos and Aramis observed an officer who followed D'Artagnan, treading apparently in his very steps. (442)
9. Result
The result’s conjunctions are consequently, therefore, and thus
Examples:
They will see the forces we have at our disposal; they will consequently
know to what they have to trust, and the fate that attends them, in case of
rebellion. (449)
"Monsieur," said Biscarrat to the bishop, "you may save all these inhabitants,
but thus you will neither save yourself nor your friend." (466)

captain like myself, who ranks with a marechal of France, should have found
himself under the orders of five or six lieutenants or majors, good to make

3. METHODOLOGY
3.1 Research Method
This paper was written by uses library research. In the library is full of one
or more books that full of material. The writer read and write for the books. The
writer collected some literary books especially books that are relevant to the topic
that can support the description of grammar, especially conjunction books as
reference to finish the paper. Library is a place that full of books, material, and
agenda. The writer choosed that place because can get many information about the
topic that want to do about description. Not only from the books, information also
can get from internet to support the data description.
3.2 Data and Data Sources
All data are sentences that contained of conjunctions found in the novel
“The Man In the Iron mask” written by Alexandre Dumas as the source of the
data. Alexandre written two books , first is The Three Musketeers and the second
is The Man in the Iron Mask. The writer choosed “The Man in the Iron Mask”
because the novel is interesting story and full of conjunction so its not difficult to
find and describe about conjunction.
The novel “The Man in the Iron Mask” consist of 572 pages and contains
60 chapters with its topic and subtopic are different in each chapters. The writer
36 3.3 Data Collecting Method
A method is need when a writer want to describe about something that
want to observed. So, in the novel “The Man in The Iron Mask, the writer used
one method that can help to observes the use of conjunctions in the novel. In this
case, the method very important. It explain about how to describe and how to
make the description.
3.4 Data Description Method
In description, the writer used descriptive method that can explain and
interpretate the object according the fact. The descriptive strategy have relation
between variable, test the hyphotesis, develop generalisation and develop the
theory that as universal validality. Descriptive research is a research about
phenomenon or population that get from researcher from subject like individual,
organization, industry or perspective. Between that, descriptive research method is
a method that collected for questions or hypotesis related with situation and
condition. In general, the descriptive research method was done to get purpose.
The purpose are to explain and describe systematically the fact and characteristic
of the object. Descriptive research design as the best approach research because it
offers precise. In descriptive research design research will count and classify, and
build statistical models to then explain what is observed. Descriptive research do
to answer the question about what, where, how, who, and when be related with
37
4. DESCRIPTION OF CONJUNCTION
4.1 Grammatical Description
Marianne and Diane (1950: 295) says that in fact the only rule that have
encountered for generating subordinate sentence within the current set of phrase
structure rules has been the adverbial clause expansion rule
Advl.Cl (Adverbial clause) Adv Sub S (Adverbial Subordinate
Sentence.
It will be deal with some surface structure sentences which are
composed of two or more nonsubordinate (or independent) sentences in the base.
In order to accomodate sentences of this type, the writer have to add a new rule to
list of phrase structure rules:
S Conj + S²+n
The ruel allow to rewrite S as a conjunction followed by two or more
sentences.
A rule such as the above one will allow us to generate basic structures such
as the following sentences:
1.) I am pres playing a doll
2.) She pres cut the paper conj. and
3.) He pres clean his garage
The conjunction movement transformation copies the initial conjunction
so that it occurs between each conjoined sentences in the base and then erases the
38
Then if started from Output of base sentence are become: and I am pres
playing a doll She pres cut the paper He pres clean his garage. And make the
conjunction movement become I am pres playing a doll and She pres cut the paper
and He pres clean his garage.
An additional transformation, non final conjunction deletion, optionally
allows to replace each nonfinal conjunction with a comma. The nonfinal
conjunction deletion is become: I am pres playing a doll, She pres cut the paper
and He pres clean his garage.
The example show to represented the type of conjoined sentences. Another
types of conjoined structure with something contrast or conflict. This is the
example of another structure:
The van is pres slowly to stop moving My car is pres still faster to move
Conj.but
In this examples, the sentences can call for the conjunction but to be
inserted in the base; however the derivational process would be almost the same
as it was for the earlier example with and. So, The sentence become “ The van is
slowly to stop moving but My car is still faster to move”.
As the alternative presupposed, a conjoined structure result from a base
in which the truth of only one of two or more sentences will be aquintance.
Boggy can give the suggestion Boggy can reject the statement
After make one or two sentences, the conjunction of or is used. After
applying conjunction movement, no further transformation are needed. It can get
39 reject the statement”.
To conclude the conjunction, The writer will gave one final coordinating
conjunction. This conjoined structure is derived from a base which contains two
negative sentences, both of them are true.
She pres said she is not going He pres said he is not staying
Conj.nor
After the appropriate the transformations would get: “ She is not going,
nor He is staying.
You will see from the example sentence why the writer said that
conjoined sentences with nor were more complicated than the others when
considered. First off all, after the nor gets relocated through conjunction
movement, it absorb the negative particle NOT in the second sentence, leaving the
second sentence without an overt negative. Second, subject/ auxilary inversion
must take place in the second sentence in order to generate grammatical surface
structure.
4.2 Types of Coordinating Conjunction Transformation Structure
Marianne and Diane (1950: 295) explained about three transformation
structure of conjoined sentences. First is conjoined sentences with identical
information. Second is conjoined sentences with identical negative elements.
Third is conjoined sentences with identical major constituent. Now, the writer will
40
4.2.1 Conjoined Sentences With Identical Information
Conjoined sentences that are more typical that any of the above examples
contain some identical information in the underlying sentences since the we don’t
usually conjoin sentences that have nothing in common. In many such cases we
can substitute a pro-form and retain all the major constituent present in the base.
In the following tree, the subject NPs (noun phrase structure) of both of
the underlying sentences contain identical information:
Jack pres is teaching a student He pres teach in musical school
Conj.and
With a conjunction movement transformation, a pro-form substitution of
Jack and he will derived with subject-verb. It wil derived become a sentence:
Jack is teaching a student and He teach in musical school
Looked for the example sentence. The first sentence and the second
sentences, when the writer give the transformation movement it become one
sentences. Both of sentences become one sentences and put “and” conjunction
between them. So, it become a new sentences that conjoined with and
conjunction.
4.2.2 Conjoined Sentences With Identical Negative Elements
The conjoined sentences with identical negative elements applies of NOT.
NOT is a set of:
We pres DO + N’T singing They pres DO + N’T singing
41
The writter presentation that NOT placement, DO support, and Not
contraction have all taken place in the constituent sentences. The only change
needed in such a derivation is the addition of either instead of the too that was
added when both sentences were accept. This is both of sentences were
affirmative.
First the writer make a Derived output. Derived output must to show to
make the reader understand about the structure before the sentences become a
sentences that have conjunction between them. (Derived output is the sentence
which take from the output before the conjunction formed between the conjoined
sentence). So, derived output produce: and We pres + DO + N’T singing They
pres DO + N’T singing.
Second, make the Conjunction movement and produce: We pres DO + NT
singing and They pres DO + NT singing. Conjunction movement has a purpose to
make a sentences become a complete sentences with using and conjunction
between two sentences.
Third, Pro-verb phrase substitution: We pres DO + N’T singing and They
pres DO + N’T. Proverb phrase substitution is a changing word or phrase in place
of verb. After conjunction movement, pro-verb subtitution must be used.
Fourth, Either addition: We pres DO + N’T singing and They pres DO +
N’T either. Either used to increasing between two sentences for a negative
elements that has a function to explain about two element is also has a same
statement.
42 We don’t singing and they don’t either.
The writer also want to completely of this sentences by another version
and using “neither” conjunction. Before continued the new version of the
sentences, step back to the “either” addition so, it can following the steps:
NOT incorporation: She pres DOES + N’T visited him and He pres DOES
visited neither.
This rule takes preceding NOT or N’T and combine it into either, and
forming neither.
Negative constituent fronting: She pres DOES + N’T visits and neither He
pres does visits him.
Subject/auxilary inversion: She pres DOES + N’T visits and neither visits
him pres DOES He
Subject verb agreement and the morphological rules produced: She
doesn’t visits him and neither does He
4.2.3 Conjoined Sentences With Identical Major Constituent
Noun phrases, verb phrases, or adjective phrases included of major
constituent. They’re identical, however, it can delete the repeated constituent. As a
deletion necessitates a restructuring of the base, which is turn result in single
clause at the surface structure level.
This is the example sentences with identical subject NPS (noun phrase
43
Bob is teaching english and live in North Sumatera
Conj.and
The further application application of subject verb-agreement, and
morphological rules yields: Bob is teaching english and live in North Sumatera.
The entire derivation is given below:
Output of base: and Bob pres is teaching english and Bob pres live in
North Sumatera
Conjunction movement: Bob pres is teaching english and Bob pres live in
North Sumatera
Identical constituent deletion: Bob pres is teaching english and øø live in
North Sumatera.
Identical constituent deletion has a function to delete an affluent words
that can effect the sentences meaning.
Subject verb agreement: Bob is teaching english and live in North
Sumatera
Another examples of conjunction’s restructures sentences with identical
verb phrases:
John pres bake a cake Susan pres bake a cake
Conj.and
The writer will be applies the subject-verb agreement, and morphological
rules by the result: John and Susan bake a cake. Here are the derivation that can
44
Output of base: and John pres bake a cake Susan pres bake a cake
Conjunction movement: John pres bake a cake and Susan pres bake a
cake
Identical constituent deletion: John pres bake a cake and Susan øøø
Restructuring: John and Susan pres bake a cake
Morphological rules: John and Susan bake a cake
The two major deletion and restructuring patterns already illustrated with
identical subjects and verb phrases. Then sentences changed by the transformation
by restructuring conjunction movement and it become a new sentences. The
conjunction of “ and” put between two subject.
4.3 Correlative Conjunction Transformation Structure
When the reader flash back about the coordinating conjunction, it
occured two or more sentences were generated as one along with a coordinating
conjunction of “ and, but, or, or nor” . When two sentences are coordinate, the
conjunction or conjoined elements may be preceded by correlative conjunction.
Here are the connecting structure:
Both (conjunction 1) and (conjunction 2)
either (conjunction 1) or (conjunction 2)
neither (conjunction 1) nor (conjunction 2)
When a correlatives is used in a surface structure sentences, it
emphasizes the coordinate status of the two constituents. The second sentence in a
following pair, for instance, intensifies the coordination between the two object
45
Claire and Meggy read megazine Both Claire and Meggy read megazine
Conj.and
Above of the sentences is a rule that called “correlative addition’ that
applied to the first member of correlative pair before the conjoined constituents. It
shows in second sentence as an emphatic variant of the first. Another rule of
correlative movement that allow to produce a pharaphrase of the second sentence
above by moving the correlative conjunction to a position preceding the
restructured verb phrase:
Claire and Meggy both read megazine
When the two VPs (verb phrase structure) which are conjoined, it have a
sentence with correlative addition such as:
Claire reads both megazine and newspaper
The correlative movement rule optionally apply to move the correlative
conjunction to a position following the two conjuncts of:
Claire reads megazine and newspaper both
Claire pres reads megazine Claire pres reads newspaper
Conj. And
Output of base: and Claire pres reads megazine Claire reads newspaper
Conjunction movement: Claire pres reads megazine and Claire reads
newspaper
Identical constituent deletion: Claire pres reads megazine and øøø
46
Restructuring: Claire pres reads megazine and newspaper
Correlative addition: Claire pres reads both megazine and newspaper
Correlative movement: Claire pres reads megazine and newspaper both
Subject-verb agreement and morphological rules: Claire reads megazine
and newspaper.
Like both...and combination, the addition of either to two
sentences conjoined by or results is an emphatic version of the conjoined
sentence. Unlike the both...and pair, however, eiher...or can conjoin full
sentences as well as phrases.
Full sentences
I will get a new clothes or My sister will get a new clothes.
Either I will get a new clothes or My sister will get a new clothes.
Phrases
I or My sister will get a new clothes.
Either I or My sister will get a new clothes.
Either...or is the corellative movement that can occur only when
identical subjects rather than identical verb pharases and being conjoined
when at least one auxiliary verb is present.
Identical Verb Phrases
Either I and My sister will get a new clothes
47 Full Sentences
I will get a new clothes My sister will get a new clothes
Conj.or
Output of base: or I will get a new clothes My sister will get a new clothes
Conjunction movement: I will get a new clothes or my sister will get a
new clothes
Pronoun phrase substitution: I will get a new clothes or my sister get it
(And additional surface deletion here would produce: Either I will get a
new clothes or my sister will).
From that sentences, it will applies output of base, conjunction movement,
identical constituent deletion, restructuring, and correlative addition. Here are the
entire derivation:
Output of base: or I will get a new clothes My sister will get a new clothes
Conjunction movement: I will get a new clothes or My sister will get a
new clothes
Identical constituent deletion: I will get a new clothes or My sister øøøø
Restructuring: I or My sister will get a new clothes
Correlative addition: Either I or My sister will get a new clothes
Identical Subjects
Full Sentences

Output of base: or James can read James can’t read
Conjunction movement: James can read or James can’t read
Correlative addition: either James can read or James can’t read
Correlative movement optional: (a) James either can read or James can’t
read; (b) James can either read or James can’t read
Phrases

Conj. Or
Output of base: or I can live I can go
Conjunction movement: I can live or I can go
Identical constituent deletion: I can live or øø go
Restructuring: I can live or go
Correlative addition: I either can live or go
Correlative movement: I can either live or go
The final type of correlative structure to be considered here signals two
negative alternatives, both of which are assumed to be true. In such cases, nor is
the conjunction used and neither is the partner of correlative conjunction. Here are
the example sentence of neither...nor that once restructuring takes place and the
correlative conjunction must be added:
49
The correlative movement cannot take place with either subject noun
phrases or verb phrases: <
