KnE Social Sciences / The 2nd Annual International Conference on Language and Literature (AICLL 2019) / Pages 745–752

Abstract

This research aimed to find out kinds of projection relation and to explain how the most dominant projection relation is used in business texts in The Jakarta Post. This research was conducted by using the descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The data were taken from clause complexes in some business text articles such as “RI Asks India to Cut Palm Oil Tariffs” (Text A), “Dumai refinery to cut costs by 25%” (Text B) and “NTT exports octopus to China” (Text C). As a result, both projected locution and projected idea were obtained. In terms of projection relation analysis, it is found that two kinds of projection relation were used in Text A, Text B, and Text C. The kinds that were not found in the three articles of business texts in The Jakarta Post were hypotactic idea and paratactic idea. The kind of projection relation which dominantly occurred in the three articles of business texts in the paper of The Jakarta Post was hypotactic locution with the frequency reaching to 61,54% while the frequency of paratactic locution was only 38,46 %.
