Abstract
This study aims at explaining the functions of prepositional phrase in a sentence of Hansel and Gretel by Brothers Grimm and the ambiguous prepositional phrase construction applied in the sentence of Hansel and Gretel by Brother Grimm. The method of data collection is documentation. The writer takes 92 data of sentences in the short story of Hansel and Gretel text. The study is descriptive qualitative. This means that the researcher explains the function of prepositional phrase and the ambiguity prepositional phrase construction in the sentences of short story entitled: Hansel and Gretel. The analysis of the function of prepositional phrase in the sentence of the short story is based on the Downing’s syntactic function. While the analysis of the ambiguous prepositional phrase construction is based on X-bar theory. The result shows that the function of prepositional phrase in sentences of the short story is syntactic function: PP as a qualifier in AdjP, as a qualifier in AdvP, as a qualifier in NP, as a completive in PP, as a subject of the sentence, as a direct object of the sentence, as a subject complement, as a object complement, as a predicator complement, as an adjunct, and as a conjunction. Those functions of PP in sentences are determined by the distribution of PP in the sentence. While the ambiguity of PP can be found if there is more than one construction that can be seen from the tree diagram which has more than one interpretation in meaning.
