A Study of the finite verbs in "gilmore girls" tv serial, episode "those are strings, pinocchio" - Digital Collection of Petra Christian University

This study is conducted in order to find out the finite verb used by the
main characters in "Gilmore Girls" TV serial, episode "Those Are Things,
Pinocchio". There are three main problems of the study: (1) what types of
finite verbs and (2) what forms of finite verbs are used in "Gilmore Girls"
TV serial? and (3) what grammatical markers accompany the finite verbs
in "Gilmore Girls" TV serial? The syntax theory used in this study is that
proposed by Sidney Greenbaum and Randolph Quirk in Finite Verb
theory. It is supported by the theory of the Types of Finite Verbs (W.
Nelson Francis), the Forms of Finite Verbs (Sidney Greenbaum and
Randolph Quirk) and also by the theory of Grammatical Markers (Jack
Richard, et. al). This study is a descriptive one because the writer focuses
on the description and analysis of data collected. In collecting the data, the
writer copies the dialog "Gilmore Girls" TV serial episode "Those are
Strings, Pinocchio" from website, then counts the number of Lorelai and
Rory?s utterances, and finally takes a 10% sample of Lorelai and Rory?s
utterances randomly by using computer. The dialogues of the two main
characters, Lorelai and Rory are collected as the data and analyzed based
on the theories above. From the analysis, it can be seen that the finite verbs
found in the dialogues. "Gilmore Girls" TV serial is linking, intransitive
and transitive. The forms of finite verbs of Lorelai and Rory?s utterances
are dominated by the simple present tense (Subject + Verb/Verb-s or
Subject + be). The finite verbs which often appear are simple and complex
finite verb phrase. As the result of this study, the finite verbs of the two
main characters of "Gilmore Girls" TV serial, episode "Those Are Strings,
Pinocchio" can be described.
