Omission Ellipsis or omission is a term in grammatical analysis which means an omission of a part of structure in a sentence ( Crystal, 2008: .
It means that a sentence with ellipsis is not a complete https://jurnal.
id/index.
php/Relation P-ISSN: 2715-1638 E-ISSN: 2828-5522 Universitas Nias Raya The example is in the sentence Been there before as the answer of Have you ever visited that city ?.
the full answer or sentence is actually I have been there before.
However, the subject I and the auxiliary verb have is omitted.
There are several types of omission since there are several parts in a sentence.
There are omission of subject, omission of article, omission of modal auxiliary, omission of linking verb, omission of preposition and omission of object.
For example, in a sentence the subject is omitted then it is called the omission of The grammatical deviation found in Rich BrianAos songs are mostly omission.
There are 11 grammatical deviation of omission found in the three songs.
The omission mostly occur in the verb of sentences, with the auxiliary verb as the most of the omitted verb.
For example in the phrase Auberry gonAo smell blood trailAy, the word berry should be followed by auxiliary verb AuisAy since the phrase form is progressive tense.
Therefore, the should be Auberry is going to smell blood trailAy.
From three songs of Rich Brian, there are two types of Omission found: Omission of auxiliary verb and omission of linking .
Double Negation According to Blanchette .
5: .
, double negation is a sentence with multiple negative elements corresponding to a single semantic negation or it is also called negative concord.
In other words, double negation occurs when two negative expressions are in the same sentence.
For example is in the sentence I didnAot eat no food this morning.
In that sentence there are two negatives expressions which are didnAot and Research on English Language Education (Relation Journa.
Vol.

1 Edisi April 2022 According to Crystal .
8: .
double negation in a single sentence is not acceptable in Standard English.
The reason is that the listener or the reader may confuse with the meaning.
For example is in the sentence I donAot eat nothing and the speaker actually means that he or she has not eat anything.
However, the sentence means he or she eats something.
This is because of the two negative expressions in the sentence.
Double negation is the second highest grammatical deviation found in Rich BrianAos songs.
There are 6 double negations, the double negation only occurs in the songs AuWho That Be?Ay and AuDat StickAy.
While in the songs AuGlow Like ThatAy, there is no double negation found.
The example of the double negation are in one sentence AuI donAot smoke no gasAy.
There are two negative expressions in one sentence.
AudonAotAy and AunoAy.
In standard English double negative expressions in one sentence is not allowed.
Therefore, one of the negative expressions have to be omitted in order to form the correct sentence.
The correct form of the sentence are either AuI donAot smoke gasAy or AuI smoke no gasAy.
Double negation is the found only in two songs of Rich Brian, which are AuWho That BeAy and AuDat StickAy.
Overgeneralization Overgeneralization refers to the process where by extend their use of grammatical feature to context beyond those found in the adult language (Crystal, 2008: .
Meaning to say that overgeneralization is commonly done by children when they start to acquire a language and have not known yet certain words in correct form as it supposed to be.
However, it is not only children who acquire a language.
Some adults in this world also try to acquire a https://jurnal.

php/Relation P-ISSN: 2715-1638 E-ISSN: 2828-5522 Universitas Nias Raya foreign language and they also tend to This is stated by Matiini .
that overgeneralization is the learnerAos own way to make rules of the second language because of the influence of the first language (Matiini, 2.
The example is when someone who learners English say AumousesAy instead of AumiceAy.
This because commonly the plural noun in English is added a suffix which is {-.
Is the third grammatical process found in Rich BrianAos songs, there are 2 overgeneralization occurs in the noun is found in the phrases or the sentences.
The example of generalization process of noun is found in the phrase Auall this mansAy.
the sentence, there is an overgeneralization of the noun AumanAy, where the plural form of the irregular noun AumanAy is AumenAy.
Therefore, the correct form of the phrase is Auall these menAy.
overgeneralization is found only in AuWho That BeAy song.
The word that is overgeneralization by Rich Brian only one word, which is men.
The deviation of preposition Preposition is a term in grammatical classification of words that refers to a set of items typically precedes noun phrase to form a single constituent of structure (Crystal, 2008: .
In other words, preposition is used to connect between two nouns.
The example of preposition is in, for, of, on, and so on.
The example of deviation of preposition can be seen in the sentence we arrive to Jakarta.
The preposition to is no correct and it is supposed to be at since the correct preposition of arrive is at or in.
Occurs in the songs AuWho That BeAy and AuGlow Like ThatAy.
the researcher found of the deviation in use preposition.

1 Edisi April 2022 Brian Uses the preposition AuonAy which is replaced with AuintoAy, preposition AuintoAy expresses movement of something toward or into something else.
Preposition AuonAy replaced with AubyAy.
Preposition AubyAy is a preposition that expresses passive voice.
Preposition Auup toAy express movement to a destination (Manhatta.
The preposition AutoAy expresses a movement to a destination, while towards for direction.
Therefore Rich Brian uses the wrong preposition in the phrase above, since the preposition used to point out In order to follow the correct pattern of the preposition, therefore, the preposition Auup toAy should be replaced with AutoAy.
Thus, the correct form of the phrase above is:Book a flight to Manhattan.
Deviation of Verb There are two deviation of verb found from the total 29 grammatical in Rich BrianAos songs.
The deviation are found in the songs Au Dat StickAy and AuGlow Like ThatAy.
The table below presents the deviation of verb found in both songs.
In AuDat stickAy song, the phrase where the Deviation of verb occurs is:Rogue waves on you niggas.
Meanwhile, in the song AuGlow Like ThatAy, the error of verb is found in the phrase:
To seeinAo me The phrase above is another Deviation phrase from Rich BrianAos songs.
The forms of to-infinitive are simple form:
to-infinitive followed by V1, perfect form:
after to-infinitive, there is auxiliary be followed by verb one, continuous form:
auxiliary be followed by verb one after toinfinitive, perfect continuous form: started by to-infinitive, followed by have been and ing-form verb.
Since the line from AuGlow https://jurnal.
id/index.
php/Relation P-ISSN: 2715-1638 E-ISSN: 2828-5522 Universitas Nias Raya Like ThatAy song uses to-infinitive added by ing form verb in the simple form, the phrase becomes deviate.
Simple form of toinfinitive form should be to-infinitive followed by verb one.
The line will be grammatical if the verb ing form AuseeingAy is changed into verb one form AuseeAy.
Thus, the correct form of the line should be:
To see me.
Deviation of Pronoun Pronoun is the lexical category functions as noun phrase in isolation (Trask, 1996: 221-.
This means that pronoun can stand without any article.
Moreover, pronoun can be a subject and also object in a sentence.
The example of pronoun is they, we.
I, she, he, me, my, mine, and so on.
Those pronouns sometimes appear in incorrect way which is called deviation of pronoun.
The example is in the words this is me phone.
In that sentence, the pronoun me is supposed to be my since the sentence needs a possessive pronoun to show the owner of the object.
The deviation of pronoun is the least grammatical process found in the songs.
From all Rich BrianAos songs, the deviation of pronoun only found in the song AuWho That BeAy.
The Deviation of pronoun only found in Rich BrianAos song which is AuWho That BeAy.
This process occurs on the Look at he AuYou donAot wanna fuck with Ay In both of the phrases.
Rich Brian uses the personal pronouns AuheAy and AuweAy.
However, the use of the personal pronouns AuheAy and AuweAy are incorrect.
Meanwhile, when the pronoun is the object, the object form of pronoun is used.
The object form of pronoun consist of pronouns AumeAy.
AuyouAy.
AuhimAy.
AuherAy.
AuitAy.
AuusAy and AuthemAy.

In order to follow the correct pattern of pronoun, the subject form pronouns AuheAy and AuweAy in the object position should be changed into the object form AuhimAy and AuusAy.
Therefore, the correct forms of the phrases are:
Look at him You donAot want to fuck with us.
After analyzing the data based on its categories, the whole data were discussed to answer the problem proposed in the previous chapter that is analysed using the theories of Leech.
In this research, there are two figures of grammatical deviation proposed by Leech but in this research the researcher just focus on found one figure is Syntactical Figure.
