Abstract

Syntax is a branch of linguistics that explains sentence structure. This study aims to discover what types of sentences are used in motivational quotes, which frequently emerge in motivational quotes, and describe sentence structure utilizing a tree diagram. This research employs the descriptive qualitative technique. The study involved multiple processes in data collection, including; reading the novel's text, choosing sentences of motivational quotes contained in the novel Atomic Habits, and writing down all the sentences of motivational quotes selected for analysis. The data were analyzed using Noam Chomsky’s theory “Transformational Generative Grammar”. The result of the study shows that the motivational quotes from the novel Atomic Habits have all types of sentences. In addition, the researcher also found the types of sentences that frequently emerge in motivational quotes from the novel, namely 22 simple sentences, 2 compound sentences, five complex sentences, and one compound-complex sentence. So, the dominant motivational quote is a simple sentence. This study has various types of sentences in motivational quotes that can be used to help English learners and improve writing skills in a text or essay according to grammatical rules.

用树形图分析英语学习中的励志名言句式结构

语法是解释句子结构的语言学分支。本研究旨在发现激励语录中经常出现的句子类型，并利用树形图描述句子结构。本研究采用描述定性方法。该研究涉及数据收集的多个过程，包括;阅读小说文本，选择小说《原子习惯》中包含的励志名言句子，并写下所有选择用于分析的励志名言句子。数据分析采用诺姆·乔姆斯基的“转换生成语法”理论。研究结果表明，小说《原子习惯》中的励志语录具有所有类型的句子。此外，研究者还发现了小说励志语录中出现频率最高的句子类型，即22个简单句、2个并列句、5个复合句和1个复合复合句。所以，最主要的励志名言是一句简单的句子。这项研究有各种类型的句子的动机引用，可以用来帮助英语学习者和提高写作技能的文本或文章，根据语法规则。
