Januari 2018 Adverbs In Expressions of Disagreement: a Corpus Study Rika Mutiara1 Abstract This study examined the occurrences of expressions of disagreement in the textbook and corpora namely Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) and British National Corpus (BNC).
Besides, this study scrutinized the concordance lines in which disagreement occur to obtain other language functions that were usually used together in expressions of disagreement.
It also studied the used of adverbs in expressions of disagreement.
They were categorized based on semantic categories develop by Biber, et al.
Some expressions of disagreement given in the textbook were not found in BNC.
The findings from the corpora showed that the speakers tend to give opinions and reasons in stating disagreement.
They, moreover, showed direct respect to the interlocutors in order to manage the relationship.
These language functions were not found in the expressions of disagreement in the textbook.
The adverbs that belonged to the categories of degree and stance were more salient than any other categories.
The adverbs intensified the level of disagreement and represent speakersAo certainty.
Furthermore, the adverbs indicate speakersAo attitude toward the issues of disagreement.
It seemed that adverbs played a role in stating disagreement.
However, no expressions of disagreement in the textbook contained adverbs.
Keywords : expression of disagreement, corpus, adverb, interlocutor, and language function.

Introduction A textbook plays a vital role in English learning in the class.
As a source of learning, it provides texts whether spoken or written texts.
All texts are intended to help students learn English.
By exploring the texts, the students notice how English works.
They get the models of what expressions the speakers use to carry particular functions.
They get the model of language use through The issue of modeling language is also an important issue in language teaching.
The language in the textbook is expected to represent the language used in communication.
To do so, language used in the textbook can be checked in the corpus.
Corpus is defined as a group of texts that was kept electronically.
Analyzing corpus can be one of the ways to decide what language should be given as a language model in the textbook.
It is a part of developing materials for It, moreover, can be used in evaluating the textbook.
Language in the textbook can be examined to see the similarities and differences of language use in the textbook and corpora.
It can enrich the language use in the textbook.
It makes the language in the textbook becomes more natural.
Having exposed to natural language makes the students able to understand language in the real The language that the students produce also will be natural.
Thus, it supports the students for using language in communication.
When the expressions of disagreement in the textbook can be found in the corpora, it means the expressions are used in communication.
Previous study shows that adverbs tend to occur when the speakers produced expressions of disagreement.
Some adverbs represent to what extend the speakers agree or disagree.
It shows how intense the speakers deliver his agreement is.
3 It seems that the adverbs carry particular functions in expressions of disagreement.
Thus, this study also shows what language functions related to the existences of adverbs that occur in stating disagreement.
In addition, the adverbs were categorized based on the semantic classification to find their roles in expressions of disagreement.
Expressions of disagreement are used in the dialogues in which the speakers disagree with the interlocutors.
Carrying this function of course would potentially make the interlocutors give negative It would be possible for the interactions to be damaged because the owners of the ideas feel their ideas are not accepted.
Therefore, the speakers must manage the language carefully in order to convey their disagreement without potentially having conflicts with the interlocutors.
In modeling expressions of disagreement, this function also needs to be considered.
The expressions of disagreement in the textbook need to carry this aspect.
Then, the students will notice it and practice to use the language.
By doing so, it is expected that the students get the real The present study focuses on expressions model of language use that equip them of disagreement.
It aims at checking for communication.
whether expressions of disagreement in the textbook can be found in the R Mutiara.

Januari 2018 Previous study that applied corpus study to analyze language use namely expressions of agreement in the five textbooks and corpus has been conducted 4 The corpus is Hong Kong Corpus of Spoken English (HKCSE).
Out of 54 expressions, there are only 7 expressions that were found in HKCSE.
Expressions in the the textbook occur in 1-10 words.
However, expressions commonly found in HKCSE only consist of one word.
Based on the findings from HKCSE, it also gives other expressions that are potentially used to express agreement.

This chunk can be called as a bundle or an-n-gram.
N here means the numbers of words in a chunk such as three, four, or five.
The phrase the research was conducted is a chunk that consists of four words.
The phrase the research was conducted in is a chunk of five words.
Besides, one of the principles of corpus study is counting the frequency.
The words with high frequency in the corpus usually gets special attention.

Such words or phrases would In studying similarities and differences be considered in developing materials of a textbook, there are some available for language learning.

The words BNC shows how speakers in the that tend to occur with them show how UK use English while COCA covers the speakers used the expressions in how speakers in the USA speak and communication.
They also might carry write in English.
The size of BNC is other language functions that are still smaller than COCA.

Adverb very occurs with respectfully.
It might be caused that whom the speaker disagreed is his good friend.
To maintain their relationship in spite of disagreement, he used the phrase very respectfully.

It can be seen that the speaker tries hard to convey his respect to the interlocutor.
Adverb really might occur with fundamentally to emphasize the way of disagreement as in the following Let me slightly disagree with Cliff.

Adverbs absolutely and profoundly collocate with disagree and it never occurs with other adverbs.
Adverb slightly is the only one that belongs to a downtoner.
