SKRIPSI TAXIS CONSTRUCTION OF STUDENTS’ SPEAKING PRACTICE IN ENGLISH FOR TOURISM
Speaking is an essential skill in English language learning, and understanding how
students structure their spoken language can provide insights into their grammatical
competence. This study examines the taxis construction in students’ speaking
practices in English for Tourism, focusing on the use of parataxis and hypotaxis in
their spoken discourse. It will be a problem for students’ foreign language to
understand the parataxis and hypotaxis.
To overcome the problems above, this study was intended to investigate the
parataxis and hypotaxis used by the students’ speaking practice to gain two
objectives. First, it purposed to know the types of taxis used by students’ speaking
practice. Second, The research aims to identify the dominant types of taxis and
logico-semantic relations used in students’ spoken performances.
A qualitative descriptive approach was applied in this study, with data collected
from ten student-produced videos in an English for Tourism class at Unversitas
Tidar. The videos were transcribed and analyzed using systematic functional
linguistics, specifically focusing on the frequency and patterns of taxis construction.
The analysis categorized clause relationships based on their interdependency
(parataxis vs hypotaxis) and logico-semantic relations (expansion vs projection).
To ensure validity, the data was triangulated through expert validation.
