Verbal Group in Indonesian
The paper aims to present an observation on the structure of verbal group in Indonesian in terms of its experiential and logical structures. It is observed that in the language there is no fuse for Finite and Event. Event itself may not be accompanied by Finite so that tense is possible not to be mapped on the verbal group at all. Hence, the logical structure of the verbal group may not realize the system of tense which is not recursive in the language. Further, it is shown that the expression of polarity is not necessarily tied to that of finiteness but the expression of voice is only possibly attached to that of eventness. It is hoped that the description of verbal group in the language contribute more insights to other systemic functional aspects in the language.
