ABSTRACT

Widiastuti, Emi. 2013. An Analysis of Logico-Semantic Relation of Clause

Complexes in Breaking News of VOA. Skripsi. English Education

Department, Teacher Training and Education Faculty, Muria Kudus

University. Advisors: (i) Rismiyanto, S.S, M.Pd., (ii) Diah Kurniati, S. Pd,

M.Pd.

Key words: Logico-Semantic Relation, Clause Complex, Breaking News of VOA.

Logico semantic relation is the way in which clauses either independent or

dependent build on the meaning of the clauses that are related. It means that to

realize the meaning in a clause complex, we need logico-semantic relation.

Students still have many difficulties in analyzing clause complex. It means that

they also have difficulties in understanding logico-semantic relation. I analyze

logico-semantic relation of clause complexes in breaking newsof VOA, especially

entertaiment news. Because, I assume that there are many students are interested

in watching entertainment news, especially the students of Muria Kudus

University.

The objective of this research is to discover the use of logico-semantic

relation of clause complexes in entertainment news of breaking news’ VOA in

2013 edition. That main objective involves two further objectives are to discover

the types of taxis used in entertainment news of breaking news’ VOA in 2013

edition and to discover the kinds of logico-semantic relation used in entertainment

news of breaking news’ VOA 2013 edition

This is descriptive qualitative research. The data of the research is logico-

semantic relation meanwhile the entertainment news of breaking news’ VOA is as

the data source of the research.

Based on the finding of this research, the types of logico-semantic relation

that mostly use in the entertaiment news of breaking news’ VOA is Elaboration

which the reporter of the entertaiment news of breaking news’ VOA elaborates

on the meaning of another by further specifying or describing. To report a news,

we should give a clear information by elaborating it to avoid misunderstanding.

And the least use is idea. Idea is what the someone thought and sense. It means

that if we give information to the listener, it should be be fact. And the truth that

someone thought and sense is not sure yet. The listener will be doubt if we give

information use projection idea.

From this research, I hope the lectures and students pay attention more the

logico-semantic relation, especially elaboration because it is the mostly use. And

for the further researcher, I hope that the next researchers can develop their study

probably by conducting a much more detail study about this related topic but in

other data source.

ABSTRAK

Widiastuti, Emi. 2013. Analisis hubungan logico-semantic dalam kalusa kompleks

di liputan berita VOA. Skripsi. Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan,

Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Universitas Muria Kudus. Pebimbing: (i)

Rismiyanto, S.S, M.Pd., (ii) Diah Kurniati, S. Pd, M.Pd.

Kata kunci: Hubungan logico-semantic , klausa kompleks, liputan berita VOA

Hubungan logico-semantic adalah proses dimana klausa induk ataupun

klausa anak membangun makna dari klausa-klausa yang berhubungan. Itu berarti

untukmerealisasikan makna dalam sebuah klausa kompleks kita membutuhkan

hubungan makna yang logis. Para murid masih mempunyai banyak kesulitan

dalam menganalisis klausa kompleks. Itu berarti mereka juga mempunyai

kesulitan dalam memahami hubungan logico-semantic.Saya menganalisis

hubungan logico-semantic dalam klausa kompleks di liputan berita VOA.

Khususnya berita hiburan. Karena saya berasumsi bahwa bnyak mahasiswa yang

tertaik menonton liputan berita hiburan, khususnya mahasiswa UMK.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui penggunaan hubungan

logico-semantic dalam klausa kompleks yang terdapat dalam liputan berita

hiburan VOA edisi 2013. Tujuan utama tersebut mencakup dua tujuan lainnya

yaitu untuk mengetahui tipe taxis yang terdapat dalam liputan berita hiburan VOA

edisi 2013 dan mengetahui tipe hubungan makna logis yang terdapat dalam

liputan berita hiburan VOA edisi 2013.

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif deskriptif. Data dari

penelitian ini merupakan hubungan logico-semantic, sedangkan liputan berita

hiburan VOA sebagai sumber data dari penelitian ini.

Berdasarkan hasil penemuan dalam penelitian ini,tipe hubungan logico-

semantic yang paling banyak digunakan di dalam liputan berita VOA adalah

Penjabaran yang mana pembawa berita tersebut menjabarkan makna dengan

menspesifikasikan dan menggambarkan makna tersebut. Untuk melaporkan berita,

kita harus menyampaikan informasi yang jelas untuk menghindari

kesalahpahaman. Dan yang paling banyak digunakan adalah ide. Ide adalah apa

yang seseorang pikirkan dan rasakan. Itu berarti untuk menyampaikan informsi

kepada pendengar seharusnya bersifat fakta agar mereka tidak ragu. Kebenaran

yang orang pikir itu belum tentu benar.

Dari penelitian ini, saya berharap para pengajar, dan siswa lebih

memperhatikan tentang hubungan logico-semantic, khususnya penjabaran karena

penjabaran yang paling sering digunakan. Dan untuk peneliti selanjutnya, saya

berharap agar mereka mengembangkan penelitian ini dengan topik yang

berhubungan tetapi berbeda dalam penggunaan sumber data.
