| dc.description.abstract | This research aims at describing the sentence organizational patterns
in a paragraph written by the second semester students of the English
Department of Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta. To meet
the goal, the researchers use micro-structural approach. Within this approach,
the researchers only employ thematic progression technique in
which each sentence is divided into theme and rhyme. This technique is
used for determining whether a paragraph is linear or not. The result of
the research shows the sentence organizational patterns in the paragraphs
are linear and nonlinear. The linear paragraphs employ the techniques of
parallel progression, linear progression, and split rhyme progression. The
non-linear paragraphs are due to four reasons, namely: (1) the absence of
topic sentence in the paragraph; (2) grammatical errors and inappropriate
usage of punctuation in supporting sentences; (3) irrelevant sentences
in the paragraph; and (4) unorganized sentences. | en_US |
