 INTRODUCTION

First of all, thanks to God because of God’s help we can finished our task of English
Grammar and also we thanked to Ma’am Prof. Dr. Sumarsih, M.Pd as the lecture of English
Grammar who has given this task to us.

I hope this paper can be useful in order to add an insight into as well as the knowledge of
us about the Subordinate Clause. I also fully realized that in this task there are shortage and
away from what we expected. To that end, we hope the criticism, suggestions and the proposal
by the repairs in the future, because there isn’t something that perfect without a means of the
building. Hopefully this paper can help everyone who read it. If it were a has been drafted in this
can be useful for our own and people read it. Before we are sorry if there is a mistake words that
are less pleased and I pleaded criticism and suggestions for improvements building in the future.

PRELIMINARY

A. The Important Rationalization of Critical Journal Review (CJR)

Critical Journal Review (CJR) helping we to choose as reference to make

understand about journal and to make we reading this journal. Sometimes we just choose
one journal to read but, the result not satisfy for example about language, and debate.
Therefore, I make a Critical Journal Review (CBR) about subordinate clause to ease
people read it.

B. The Purpose

The purpose is to criticize one journal about Subordinate Clause which is

analyzed in the journal is like discussion completeness.

C. The Benefits

This Critical Journal Review (CJR) are expected to provide benefits for students,
lecturer and lecturer in terms of science and skills as well as the benefits that can be applied
regarding the discussion in this one journal.

B. DEFINITION SENTENCE AND SUBORDINATE
A sentence is mainly a group of words linking together and expressing an idea,
event or description. The words in an English sentence have a certain order and rule
regarding ways to either expand or shorten it. The boundaries of a sentence are easily
identified, as it begins with a capital letters and ends with terminal punctuation mark
(period, punctuation mark or exclamation mark).
Quirk, et, all (1985:47) distinguishes sentences into two types they are; simple
sentence and multiple sentences which cover compound sentences and complex
sentences). Compound sentence consists of two or more independent or insubordinate
clauses while complex sentence is a sentence consisting of a main clause or independent
clause and one or more subordinate clauses. According to Van Valin, JR, (2004:133)
complex sentences are non-coordinate sentences containing more than one clause or
more.
In contrast, in a complex sentence, the subordinate clause functions as a
dependent rather than a co-head. There are three types of subordinate clauses; they are
(a) complement clauses,
(b) adjunct (or adverbial) clauses,
(c) relative clauses.
C. COORDINATE VS SUBORDINATE CLAUSES

Prior to the discussion of complimentiser used in complement clauses, and

relativiser in relative clauses it is important to show the distinction of coordinate and
subordinate clauses. A clause can be expanded in two basic ways that is by the use of
coordination and subordination. When two constituents belonging to the same category
are conjoined to form another constituent of that category it is called as coordinate clause.
Such a structure is usually considered to be doubly headed, since both of the conjoined
elements function as heads of the larger unit. While a subordinate clause is a clause
which function as a dependent, rather than a co-head. Kroeger (2005:218).

D. COMPLEMENT CLAUSES AND RELATIVE CLAUSES

Complement clauses and relative clauses belong to subordinate clauses since
both occur in what is referred to as complex clauses by Quirk, et, all (1985), Brown and
Miller (1980) and Fromkin, et al (1984). They both involved conjuctions such as: that,
who, which, where, why, whom, etc as complementiser to introduce the subordinate
clause. However, in a complement clause the subordinate clause with complementiser is
licensed by the subcategorisation of the verb and normally functions as subject or object,
of the other clause which is referred to as the matrix clause but in relative clause, the
subordinate clause introduced by the complementiser functions as a modifier within an
noun phrase (NP).

9 Abstract Words combine to form larger units; phrases, clauses,
and sentences. The study of the structure of phrases,
clauses, and sentences is referred to as syntax. Quirk, et,
all (1985:47) distinguishes sentences into two types they
are; simple sentences and multiple sentences which
cover compound sentences and complex sentences. A
simple sentence consists of one independent clause, a
multiple clause contains more than one clauses, a
compound sentence consists of two or more independent
clauses, while a complex sentence consists of
insubordinate and subordinate clauses. Subordinate
clause, in embedding the element of the insubordinate
clause use either complementiser or relativiser. For
example: (1) john said that he did not come to the party.
That in (1) is considered to be complimentiser since it
introduces the subordinate clause. (2) John met the
teacher that teaches you English. That in (2) is classified
as relativiser because it is used to introduce the
modifying clause.
-The Purpose The purpose is to criticize one journal about Subordinate
Clause which is analyzed in the journal is like
 discussion completeness.

10 Preliminary

- Theory A sentence is mainly a group of words linking together

and expressing an idea, event or description. The words
in an English sentence have a certain order and rule
regarding ways to either expand or shorten it. The
boundaries of a sentence are easily identified, as it
begins with a capital letters and ends with terminal
punctuation mark (period, punctuation mark or
exclamation mark).
Quirk, et, all (1985:47) distinguishes sentences into two
types they are; simple sentence and multiple sentences
which cover compound sentences and complex
sentences). Compound sentence consists of two or more
independent or insubordinate clauses while complex
sentence is a sentence consisting of a main clause or
independent clause and one or more subordinate clauses.
According to Van Valin, JR, (2004:133) complex
sentences are non-coordinate sentences containing more
than one clause or more.

Methods
-Research Read and analyze journal
Steps
-Research Subordinate Clause, Relative pronouns and Complex
Results Sentence have a relationship because they have the
subordinate conjuctions (after, as, because, although,
since, when) and relative pronoun (which, that,
who,whom,whose).

12 Journal
Analysis
-Strength •This journal has the characteristics of a theory.
•This journal easy language to understand.
-Weakness The journal so many diagrams that it is difficult to
understand them.
13 Conclusion Based on the analysis above it can be concluded that
complementisers were types of conjunctions used to
introduce the subordinate clauses in complex sentences.
When the subordinate clauses introduced by
complementisers are required by the verbs of the main
clause, they are referred to as complement clauses,
however when they are licensed by the head noun of the
noun phrase they are referred to as relative clauses in
this case the complementisers used are called
relativisers.
14 Suggestion On Subordinate and Relative Pronoun to be more
specific to use the subordinate conjuctions (after, as,
because, although, since, when) and relative pronouns
(which, that, who, whom, whose).
