The Investigating Of Parataxis And Hypotaxis Construction On Tedx Talks By Josh Kaufman

Abstract

Spoken language is different from written language. it usually has to be understood immediately whereas written language can be read many times. Spoken language has more words that refer to the speaker, more quantifiers and hedges, and less abstractness.The coherent of spoken are influenced by interdependency (taxis) and logicosemantic relation system between the clauses. This research was descriptive qualitative research, since the date were provided descriptively. The proposed study is aimed at analyzingsystemic functional analysis of clause complex realised in a video adopting Hallidayan linguisticsperspective. The video was taken from the collection of TEDx Talks entittled “The first 20 hours how to learn anything” by Josh Kaufman. The objectives of this research were to find out the types of taxis which cover elaboration, extension, and enhancement. Besides, it also identified logico-semantic relation which covers projection and expansion which are dominantly used by joshkaufmanfollowing by Gerot and Wignell’s theory (1994). In the findings of the research, the analysis shows that the video of josh kaufman dominantly use parataxis constructions. Where the number use of parataxis 81 which are realized 62.30%, while hypotaxis 49 which are realized 37.69%. it’s realise that the use of taxis and logico semantic relation is important for a cohesion language
