Abstrak
Makalah ini berjudul Analisa Kata Tambahan Ditemukan Di Novel The Little Drummer Girl oleh John Le Carre. Hal ini dimaksudkan untuk menganalisis bentuk dan posisi kata tambahan yang terjadi dalam sebuah kalimat melalui analisis structure konstituen. Data diambil dari kalimat yang berisi kata keterangan yang ditemukan dalam novel The Little Drummer Girl oleh John Le Carre. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan dokumentasi dan penelitian perpustakaan. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah teori kata tambahan yang diusulkan oleh Quirk et al (1985), teori analisis struktur konstituen yang diusulkan oleh Brown dan Miller (1991) dan tiga teori pendukung yang diajukan oleh Mukti (2002), Quirk dan Greenbaum ( 1973), dan Petrus (2005). Kata tambahan yang dibentuk dalam bentuk kata keterangan dibentuk dengan menambahkan akhiran – ly untuk menghubungkan kata sifat. Dengan menambahan akhiran – ly, kelas kata akan berubah dari kata sifat menjadi kata keterangan. Kata keterangan muncul pada posisi awal, tengah dan akhir. Kata depan muncul pada posisi awal dan akhir. Kedua bentuk diatas dari kata tambahan dalam posisi ini adalah pilihan dan bukan inti konstituen. Fungsi kata tambahan dalam constituen struktur sebagai pengubah kalimat inti konstituen. Struktur konstituen akan dijelaskan dan dianalisa dengan menggunakan diagram pohon.
Kata kunci: kata tambahan, kata keterangan, dan kata depan.
Syntax is a part of grammar that is described in terms of taxonomy (i.e. the classificatory list) of the range of different types in syntactic structure found in the language which serve as grammatical function. Syntax has its goal of grammar construction of producing the language sentences.(Brown and Miller; 1991).In linguistics, an adjunct is an optional or structurally dispensable part of a sentence, clause, or phrase, when removed, will not affect the remainder of the sentence being an element of clause structure with adverbial function. An adjunct is not an argument (nor is it a predicative expression), and an argument is not an adjunct. The argument-adjunct distinction is central in most theories of syntax and semantics. In English, there are
some forms of adverbial. They could be taken in the form of adverb, adverb phrase, temporal noun phrase, and prepositional phrase. There are some words can be changed in the other spelling when an adverbs are formed from an adjective.
Based on the background above, there are some problems which can be analyzed, as follows:
-
1. What forms of manner adjunct are found in the novel entitled “The Little Drummer girl” by John Le Carre?
-
2. What positions of manner adjunct are found in the sentence structure?
There are three specifics aim of this writing which can be achieved in conducting this study, as follows:
-
1. To identify the forms of manner adjunct found in the novel entitled “The Little Drummer Girl” by John Le Carre.
-
2. To identify the positions of manner adjunct found in the sentence structure.
Research method is a systematic procedure that is used to find the information concerning the certain objects. It is the library research method that is applied in this research. The research is by using books which are relevant to the study.The research is done through library research and documentation.
The data source was taken from the novel entitled The Little Drummer Girl by John Le Carre. The data source was also taken from the library to get information about the forms and positions of manner adjuncts.

4.2 Method and Technique of Collecting Data
The documentation method was used in this writing.There are two steps in the procedure of writing. First, reading the novel repeatedly. Second, each word was analyzed. Some sentences that contain manner adjunct are analyzed.
The data was classified and analyzed based on the types of words. The analysis of the manner adjunct was done by separating each word in order to get the bases of the words. Based on the analysis of the data above that manner adjunct can be filled in form of adverb of manner and prepositional phrase. Finally, the words of adjunct manner was analyzed morphosyntactically.
Based on discussion above that manner adjuncts can be formed by the adverb manner which can take the initial, medial, and final positions. And also manner adjunct can be formed by the prepositional phrase which can take the initial and final positions.

5.1 The analysis of manner adjunct is formed by adverb of manner occurred in the initial, medial, and final positions.
