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

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).

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.
1.6 Method of Research
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.
