Abstract

The aims of this research were to find out the sentence structures, the dominant sentence structure used, and to explain syntactically analysis of every sentence in short story by Akramulla. This research used content analysis with a descriptive qualitative approach. The researcher used Chomsky’s theory namely Transformational Generative Grammar to analyzed the data. The result showed that there were 34 sentences collected from the short story. These collected data show four types of sentence structure namely simple sentences consisting of 14 sentences, compound sentences consisting of 8 sentences, complex sentences consisting of 9 sentences, and compound-complex consisting of 3 sentences which are portrayed in the tree diagram. Through the discussion, the researcher found that the simple sentence mostly appears rather than a complex sentence, compound sentence, and compound-complex sentence.
