Abstract

The English of Senior High Schhol students in Indonesia is quite interesting to study
because it contanis a significant number of errors, especially in the writing of a noun phrase.
This phenomenon shows that the English used contains Interlanguage. Selinker states that
Interlanguage has its own linguistic system. This study aims to describe and explain the
linguistic system of noun phrase in the leaners’ interlanguage as well as factors that contribute
to the formation of the noun phrase. The subjects of this study were 40 students of SMA
Muhammadiyah Surakarta II Class X. The data were collected through elicitation technique, the
students were asked to write free composition. Data were analyzed using framework of error
analysis which includes four stages: elicitation, identification, description and explanation or
interpretation. The results of the data analysis indicate seven noun phrase patterns as follows:
(1) the use of mother tongue (Indonesian), (2) the use of combination of Indonesian and English,
(3) the use of cognate, (4) the use of the Arabic already naturalized into Indonesian, (5) the
existence of miscollocation, (6) the use of false friend, and (7) the use of infinitive verbs instead
of Verb-ing. With regards to factors that contribute to the formation of the noun phrase, the
results show that these are due to the following factors: (1) muilingualism of the English
learners, (2) the gap between the Indonesian vocabulary repertoire and English, (3) the
utilization of the previous lerned languages (Indonesia, Arabic) in their English expressions,
and (4) the lack of control of the structure of the English noun phrase.
Keywords: noun phrases, noun phrase patterns, factors which contribute to the formation of
noun phrases
