Construction of The Verb Sequence Menjuruh in The Classic Malay Language

Abstract— The construction of verbs sequence „konstruksi verba beruntun?, which is hereinafter abbreviated to KVB, in this article is defined as a construction without the existence of any linking word and pausing mark (comma). Based on the theory of typology, as far as the complex predicate is concerned, the only KVB menjuruh+Vitr (intransitive verb) whose grammatical object functioning as the nucleus argument located after V2 (the second verb) and KVB menjuruh+Vtr (transitive verb) which is not marked by the morphological prefix meng- are identified as having the complex predicate construction „kontruksi predikat kompleks? which is hereinafter abbreviated to KPK. Based on the theory of transformational grammar, the KVB menjuruh, except that identified as KPK, is identified as having the complex clausal construction „konstruksi klausa kompleks?, which is hereinafter abbreviated to KKK. Keywords: construction of verbs sequence, construction of complex predicate, construction of complex clause
