ix ABSTRACT
Pramono, Eko. 2012. The Analysis of Nominal Group in the Jakarta Post and Asian EFL Journal. English Education Department Teacher Training and Education Faculty Muria Kudus University. Advisor: (i) Diah Kurniati, S. Pd, M. Pd (ii) Fitri Budi Suryani, S.S., M.Pd.
Key words: Nominal Groups, Jakarta Post, and Asian EFL Journal.
Nominal group is a group of words which has a noun (a word which names a person, place or thing) as its head word and includes all additional information related to that noun. There are some differences between Jakarta Post and Asian EFL Journal. Based on the genre, Jakarta Post includes news item and Asian EFL journal includes report. Based on the publisher, Jakarta Post newspaper is published by a company (can be said non academic) and Asian EFL journal is research journal written by professional researcher and published in the academic area.
The purposes of this research are (i) to find out the nominal group patterns used in the headline news of Jakarta Post, (ii) to find out the nominal group patterns used in the abstracts of Asian EFL Journal.
This is descriptive qualitative research. The data of this research are written data which contains nominal group patterns found in the headline news article of Jakarta Post published on April 2012 and the abstracts of Asian EFL Journal published on February 2012.
The result of the research shows that: (i) there are 25 nominal group patterns found in the headline news of Jakarta Post, they are: DT (22.27%), PDT (0,47%), NT (1.89%), ET (1.42%), CT (11.89%), TQ (11.37%), DET (1.89%), DNT (2.37%), DCT (12.32%), NET (0.47%), DTQ (17.06%), PDTQ (0.49%), NTQ (2.37%), ETQ (0.47%), CTQ (4.27%), DNCT (0.95%), DECT (0.47%), DNTQ (095%), DETQ (0.47%), DCTQ (3.32%), NCTQ (0.47%), DNPDCT (0.47%), PDETQ (0.95%), DENCT (0.47%), and DECTQ (0.47%). (ii) There are 16 nominal group patterns found in the abstracts of Asian EFL Journal, they are: DT (26.80%), PDT (1.03%), NT (4.12%), CT (3.09%), TQ (11.34%), DET (2.06%), DCT (12.37%), NCT (1.03%, DTQ (19.59%), PDTQ (1.03%), NTQ (2.06%), CTQ (2.06%), DETQ (1.03%), DCTQ (10.31%), NCTQ (2.06%), and NPDT (1.03%).
Finally, the writer suggests that nominal group is one of teaching materials in learning language. So, Teachers can use news media (newspaper) and also research journal as one of teaching materials. For the students of English Education Department, they can study the nominal group structure trough mass media and the other sources, especially newspaper and also research Journal. For the further researchers, the next research will be more innovative if the further researchers not only use written text as the materials of analysis but also they can use the other materials, like spoken text.

Pramono, Eko. 2012. The Analysis of Nominal Group in Jakarta Post and Asian EFL Journal. Program Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris. Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan. Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing (i) Diah Kurniati, S.Pd, M. Pd (ii) Fitri Budi Suryani, S.S., M.Pd.
Kata kunci: Nominal Group, Jakarta Post, dan Asian EFL Jurnal.
Nominal group adalah sekelompok kata yang memiliki kata benda (kata yang merupakan nama orang, tempat, atau benda) sebagai kata benda utama dan seluruh informasi tambahan yang berkenaan dengan benda tersebut. Ada beberapa perbedaan antara Jakarta Post dan Asian EFL Journal. Berdasarkan genre, Jakarta Post merupakan news item dan Asian EFL Jurnal merupakan report. Berdasarkan penerbitnya, Jakrta Post diterbitkan oleh sebuah perusahaan (bias dikatakan non akademik) dan kebanyakan didistribusikan di lingkungan non akadmik. Sedangkan Asian EFL Jurnal merupakan jurnal penelitian yang ditulis oleh peneliti profesional dan diterbitkan di lingkungan akademik.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah (i) untuk menemukan pola nominal group yang digunakan dalam topic utama Jakarta Post, (ii) untuk menemukan pola nominal group yang digunakan dalam abstrak dari Asian EFL Jurnal,
Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian descriptive kualitatif. Data penelitian ini merupakan data tertulis yang terdiri dari pola nominal group yang ditemukan di artikel topik utama Jakarta Post yang diterbitkan pada bulan April 2012 dan abstrak dari jurnal Asian EFL yang diterbitkan pada bulan Februari 2012.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (i) Terdapat 25 pola nominal group yang digunakan dalam topik utama dari Jakarta Post, yaitu DT (22.27%), PDT (0,47%), NT (1.89%), ET (1.42%), CT (11.89%), TQ (11.37%), DET (1.89%), DNT (2.37%), DCT (12.32%), NET (0.47%), DTQ (17.06%), PDTQ (0.49%), NTQ (2.37%), ETQ (0.47%), CTQ (4.27%), DNCT (0.95%), DECT (0.47%), DNTQ (095%), DETQ (0.47%), DCTQ (3.32%), NCTQ (0.47%), DNPDCT (0.47%), PDETQ (0.95%), DENCT (0.47%), and DECTQ (0.47%). (ii) Terdapat 16 pola nominal group yang digunakan dalam abstrak dari Asian EFL Jurnal, yaitu DT (26.80%), PDT (1.03%), NT (4.12%), CT (3.09%), TQ (11.34%), DET (2.06%), DCT (12.37%), NCT (1.03%, DTQ (19.59%), PDTQ (1.03%), NTQ (2.06%), CTQ (2.06%), DETQ (1.03%), DCTQ (10.31%), NCTQ (2.06%), and NPDT (1.03%).
Pada akhirnya, penulis memberikan saran bahwa noinal group sebagai salah satu materi dalam pembeklajaran bahasa. Para pengajar dapat menggunakan media pemberitaan (koran) dan juga jurnal penelitian sebagai salah satu materi pembelajaran. Untuk para siswa Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, mereka dapat belajar tentang nominal group mealui media massa dan sumber lainnya, khususnya koran dan jurnal penelitian. Untuk para peneliti selanjutnya, penelitan akan lebih inovatif jika mereka tidak hanya menggunakan written text sebagai materi analisis tetapi mereka juga bisa menggunakan materi analisis lainnya.
