Analysis of Nominalization in Proceeding Abstract in Linguistics: (Systemic Functional Linguistic Approach)

摘要

Abstracts in Proceedings have the purpose of knowing the entire contents that will have been studied. Therefore, it is very important for readers to read Abstracts, before reading the entire contents of the proceedings. The abstract should be able to conclude and contain the essence of what will / has been studied. Nominalization is the constraint that changes nonlexis (verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions) to become lexists of objects. The purpose of this study was to determine the nominalization in abstract proceedings in the field of linguistics. This research is a qualitative descriptive study using the Systemic Functional Linguistic approach (SFL). The data sources in this study are four texts Abstract Proceedings in the PRASASTI IV proceedings (Journal of Linguistics) 2018. The data are manuscripts of proceedings in the field of linguistics. Linguistics is divided into two, namely Descriptive Linguistics (LD) and Translation Linguistics (LP). A proceeding abstract has provisions that are limited to 200-400 words but must explain the entire contents of the proceedings. From the four proceedings abstracts in the field of linguistics, it was found that abstracts can be more concise and brief information with the presence of nominalization. It is evidenced that nominalization has a function as summarizing the sentence; combining several sentences; compacting complex clauses into simplex clauses; compacting information into a noun group; forming a grammatical metaphor; reducing repetition of words; providing focus according to technical terms on abstract keywords. The results of this study revealed to provide an efficient way in compaction, information and simplification of clauses in proceedings abstracts.
