Abstract

The study aims to describe the structures and to reveal the meaning of the adjectival clause constructions in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales. The structures involve the forms and patterns of the adjectival clauses. The form consists of functional slot and class or the slot’s filler, which has been analyzed by referring to Tagmemic Grammar. The pattern has been described based on the form. The meaning consists of role and feature of the form that has been analyzed by using Case Grammar and semantic feature theory. This is qualitative study in which the object of the research is adjectival clauses as the dependent clauses used in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales. The data are the complex sentences taken from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales The Emperor’s New Suit, The Elfin Hill and The Angel. The results of the study show that 1) there are 19 types of forms of adjectival clause constructions with the introductory words, relative pronouns, functioning as subject, 14 types of forms of adjectival clause constructions with the introductory words, relative pronouns and relative adverbs, functioning as object of verb, and one type of form of adjectival clause construction with the introductory word, relative pronoun, functioning as object of preposition; 2) the types of adjectival clause patterns are similar with the forms, due to the fact that the patterns are described based on those forms; 3) there are 19 types of meaning of adjectival clauses with the introductory words functioning as subject, 11 types of meaning of adjectival clauses with the introductory words functioning as object of verb, and one type of meaning of adjectival clause with the introductory word functioning as object of preposition.
