Abstract

This study analyzes the rhetorical functions of citation practices in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) undergraduate students’ theses, which only focused on 2 sections of a thesis: the Introduction and Literature Review sections. A corpus based analysis with a qualitative approach was conducted to find out the most and the least frequently used rhetorical functions of citation and how citation practices in the Introduction and Literature Review sections differ from each other in a descriptive statistical way. The framework used in this study is Petrić’s (2007) typology, which consists of 9 rhetorical functions of citation: attribution, exemplification, further reference, statement of use, application, evaluation, establishing links between sources, comparison of one's own findings or interpretation with other sources, and other. The findings show that attribution was found to have the highest density in both Introduction and Literature Review sections. However, this type of function is considered a “default citation” in student writing. On the other hand, other is the least frequently used rhetorical function (such a function only occurs when the relationship between the citing sentence and the source is unclear). In conclusion, it indicates that students have not fully explored the other rhetorical functions of citation. The study argues that raising students’ awareness of the rhetorical function is one way to develop students’ citation skills. It further suggests that the rhetorical functions of citation should be more prioritized in students’ academic writing courses. ********** Penelitian ini menganalisis fungsi retorik pada penggunaan kutipan dalam skripsi mahasiswa S1 EFL (English as a Foreign Language), yang hanya terfokus pada 2 bagian tesis: bagian Pendahuluan dan Kajian Pustaka. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis berbasis korpus dengan pendekatan kualitatif untuk menentukan fungsi retorik kutipan yang paling sering dan paling jarang digunakan, serta bagiamana perbedaan penggunaan kutipan pada bagian Pendahuluan dan Kajian Pustaka secara statistik deskriptif. Tipologi yang digunakan bersumber dari Petrić (2007), yang terdiri dari 9 fungsi retorik kutipan: attribution, exemplification, further reference, statement of use, application, evaluation, establishing links between sources, comparison of one's own findings or interpretation with other sources, and other. Dalam penelitian ditemukan bahwa attribution memiliki jumlah terbanyak baik pada bagian Pendahuluan, maupun Kajian Pustaka. Alhasil, jenis fungsi ini dianggap sebagai "kutipan lazim" dalam tulisan siswa. Di sisi lain, other ditemukan sebagai fungsi retorik yang paling jarang digunakan dikarenakan fungsi tersebut hanya terjadi ketika hubungan antara kalimat kutipan dan sumbernya tidak jelas. Sebagai kesimpulan, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa siswa belum sepenuhnya mengeksplorasi fungsi-fungsi retorik lain pada penggunaan kutipan mereka. Peneliti berpendapat bahwa meningkatkan kesadaran siswa tentang fungsi retorik adalah salah satu cara untuk mengembangkan keterampilan kutipan siswa, dan juga menyarankan bahwa fungsi retorik kutipan harus lebih diprioritaskan dalam mata pelajaran penulisan akademik.
