This thesis entitled: An Analysis of Phrasal Verbs in Subtitles of TV-Series: Sherlock - A Study in
Pink. The objectives of this research are to find out the types and semantic distinctions of phrasal
verb found in subtitles of TV-Series: Sherlock – A Study in Pink. In conducting this research, the
researcher used content analysis as research method and use coding to collect data. The data
sources of this research are phrasal verbs in subtitles of TV-Series: Sherlock A Study in Pink. This
research used 3 steps in analyzing the data; data condensation, data display, drawing and verifying
conclusions. Further, the researcher used investigator triangulation to verify and validate the data.
As a result, there are 3 types of phrasal verbs found in subtitles of TV-Series: Sherlock - A Study in
Pink; intransitive, transitive-separable, and transitive-inseparable phrasal verbs. There are 30 data
classified into intransitive phrasal verb, 23 data classified into transitive-separable phrasal verbs,
and 5 data classified into transitive-inseparable phrasal verbs. The last, based on the analysis of
semantic distinctions of phrasal verbs, it is found that there are 3 semantic distinctions of phrasal
verbs found in subtitles of TV-Series: Sherlock - A Study in Pink, those are free idiomatic, semi
idiomatic, and highly idiomatic phrasal verbs. There are 13 data classified into free idiomatic
phrasal verbs, 22 data classified into semi idiomatic phrasal verbs, and 23 data classified into
highly idiomatic phrasal verbs.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of The Research
Language is an important aspect for human beings in society. Human
beings use language to communicate with others almost in every activity.
According to Wibowo (2001: 3), language is a system of sound symbols that has
meaning and articulation (produced by speech devices) that are arbitrary and
conventional, used by human beings as a communication tool to produce feelings
and thoughts. In brief, the essential function of language is for communicating.
However, communtication needs understanding. It means that when
communication occurs, the interlocutor must understand what the speaker says.
This is based on what stated by Wood (2008: 3) that communication is a systemic
process in which individuals interact with and through symbols to create and
interpret meanings. When the speakers transfer their ideas, thoughts, and
intentions to the interlocutors through communication, it can only be possible if
the interlocutors understand what the speakers want to be conveyed.
In case of English as foreign language, it is not easy for people as
interlocutors to get some understanding in communication occur through two
different languages. Interlocutors can understand accurately the language used if
they understand every word the speakers say. This problem cannot simply be
overcome by using dictionary. Dictionary only provides word for word
translation, while sentence sometimes has some context and idiomatic meaning
1
considered to be figured out. Moreover, there is a phrase in English known as
phrasal verb, the multi-word verb. Phrasal verb is difficult to guess because it
contains idiomatic meaning.
Phrasal verb is a type of compound verb made up of a verb (usually one of
action or movement) and a prepositional adverb also known as an
adverbial particle. Another definition of phrasal verb is “a phrase (such as take
off or look down on) that combines a verb with a preposition or adverb or both and
that functions as a verb whose meaning is different from the combined meanings
of the individual words” (Merriam-Webster, 2017). Here are the examples of
these verbs:
(a) She always gets after me to give me a breakfast ‘chase’.
(b) I am afraid if my slave will get away ‘escaped’.
Sentence (a) is the example of transitive phrasal verb. In other words, the
phrasal verb needs the object to complete the sentence. It consists of verb get and
particle (adverb) after. The word me as the pronoun is the object to complete and
make sense the sentence. Meanwhile, sentence (b) is intransitive phrasal verb
which means it does not need the object. It is constructed by the verb get and
particle (adverb) away without being followed by any object.
Phrasal verb can also be divided into separable and inseparable phrasal
verb depending on the particle movement whether it can or it cannot be separated,
for example:
(c) I have a lot of money to get around various laws ‘avoid’.
(d) Relationship problem never gets me down ‘make depressed’.
2
Sentence (c) is the type of sentence inseparable phrasal verb. The word get
followed by particle around without being interjected by object between those two
words. Sentence (d) is an example of the sentence of separable phrasal verb. The
word me as a pronoun is an object that is put between verb gets and particle
(preposition) down.
Some studies related to the analysis of phrasal verb have been conducted.
Siregar (2013) in her analysis of novel, she simply classified the types of phrasal
verb into transitive and intransitive phrasal verb using Greenbaum and Quirk’s
(1973) theory. However, the difficulty of learning phrasal verb is interpreting its
meaning. In other words, the important aspect of analysing phrasal verb also
involves classifying phrasal verb based on its meaning. There are some ways for
researcher to come through it, such as the study that has been done by Juniardi, et
al (2015) which used Newmark’s (1988) translation theory. They classified
phrasal verb into literal and semantic translation from the data taken using the
students’ test result of translation II subject at University of Sultan Ageng
Tirtayasa.
Similar with the related studies, the researcher is interested in classifying
phrasal verb into transitive and intransitive based on Quirk et al’s (1985) theory.
The researcher also classified phrasal verb into separable and inseparable using
Coghill’s (2003) theory. In classifying phrasal verb based on its meaning, the
researcher also used Quirk, et al’s (1985) theory which distinct phrasal verb into
three categories; free idiomatic, semi idiomatic, and highly idiomatic.
3
In this research, the researcher is interested in analyzing phrasal verbs in
subtitles of TV-Series: Sherlock – A Study in Pink. In this TV-Series, there are
many verbs followed by particles such as look, put, take and pick verbs, but
sometimes when those verbs are combined with particles, the researcher has no
idea of what the meaning is. When the verb comes with particle, there will be
either a separable phrasal verb or inseparable phrasal verb which causes shift-
meaning from its literal meaning.
The sources of the data in this research are the subtitles of TV-Series:
Sherlock – A Study in Pink which is downloaded from the internet. The series
entitled Sherlock – A Study in Pink is an action mystery movie based on the
character of the same name created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The story of
Sherlock Holmes is written by Lionel Wigram and Michael Robert Johnson. The
screenplay is written by Michael Robert Johnson, Anthony Peckam, and Simon
Kinberg.
The reason of choosing the data is because these series contain many
phrasal verbs. Another reason is that the researcher wants to analyse the phrasal
verb because the researcher found that it is quite important regarding many
English Students have the same problem as the researcher who has a difficulty to
interpret the meaning of the phrasal verb. It is also quite simple and unique
because it is rarely to be analysed by any researcher of English Department at
University of Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa.

CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
A. Multi-word Verb
Although the focus of this research paper is only on phrasal verbs, it is
necessary to know that there are other types of combination which are closely
related. Multi-word verb is made up of verb + preposition or adverb or both
(Melvin, 2014: 232). So this kind of constructions such as phrasal verb and
prepositional verb are included in this group. Multi-word verbs is defined as a
verb “followed by a morphologically invariable particle, which functions with the
verb as a single grammatical unit” and “behaves to some extent either lexically or
syntactically as a single verb” (Quirk, et al. 1985: 1150).
Although there are other types of combinations on which will be
commented below, when one refers to multi-word verbs, they usually allude to the
combination formed by a lexical verb plus one or two particles. It is important to
stress the fact that these combinations behave “lexically or syntactically as [single
verbs]” (ibid) as in (1), (2) and (3):
(1) He realized he had no possibilities, so he gave in.
(2) My little sister still believes in Santa Claus.
(3) We have run out of sugar, we need to buy some more.
In sentence (1) the words in italics form a phrasal verb that means
‘surrender’, in (2) a prepositional verb that indicates ‘having faith in the existence
of (something or someone)’, and in (3) a phrasal-prepositional verb with the
8
meaning of ‘having no more’. It is easy to distinguish the last category from the
former ones because of the number of particles that follow the lexical verb. On the
contrary, the classes of verbs exemplified by gave in and believes in tend to
trouble since not everyone knows or needs to know that they do not belong to the
same category in order to use them. However, to know more about these multi-
word verbs can help speakers to avoid incorrect constructions with direct object,
and students of language to analyze sentences properly.
Regarding the particles that follow lexical verbs in these expressions, they
“belong to two different but overlapping categories” (ibid): prepositions and
spatial adverbs. Quirk, et al (1985: 1151) divide these particles in three groups,
one formed only by prepositions, another one which includes both prepositions
and spatial adverbs or prepositional adverbs (the first element of a complex
preposition), and a third one for spatial adverbs. This division may help to solve
our doubts, but it is essential neither to use multi-word verbs correctly, nor to see
the differences between their classes, because the nature of the particle can be
guessed from its combination with the lexical verb. One should bear in mind that
spatial adverbs are not perforce used with their spatial meaning and that they are
not necessarily followed by a noun phrase, whereas a preposition requires it. This
can be noticed in examples (1) and (2) above, and also in (4) and (5):
(4) The plane took off.
(5) She has suffered a lot and cannot rely on any boy.
In sentences (1) and (4) the phrasal verbs do not have any kind of
complementation, whereas in (2) and (5), both prepositional verbs are followed by
9
a noun phrase (Santa Claus and any boy, respectively) because otherwise the
meaning of the clauses would be incomplete: *My little sister still believes in,
*She has suffered a lot and cannot rely on. This is going to be one the most
important aspects to differentiate prepositional and phrasal verbs.
B. PHRASAL VERBS
1. Definitions of Phrasal Verbs
In general term, phrasal verb is known as verb that consists of a verb
and particle (preposition or adverb). As stated by Melvin (2014: 232), phrasal
verbs are made up of verb + prep/particle. The more specific definitions of
phrasal verb are:
 Greenbaum (1996: 279):
Phrasal verb is a multi-word verb in which a verb is combined with
an adverb to form idiomatic unit, inasmuch as the meaning of the
combination cannot be predicted from the meaning of the parts.
 Merriam-Webster (2017):
Phrasal verb is a phrase (such as take off or look down on) that
combines a verb with a preposition or adverb or both and that
functions as a verb whose meaning is different from the combined
meanings of the individual words.
From the definitions above, it can be known that the matter of phrasal
verb is not only based on the grammatical view, but also including the meaning
side.
10
2. Types of Phrasal Verbs
There are some types of phrasal verb regarding phrasal verb is one of
the types of multi-word verbs, but Greenbaum (1996: 206) distincts phrasal
verb into two types; intransitive phrasal verb & transitive phrasal verb.
1) Intransitive Phrasal Verb
Sometimes it is found that there are phrasal verbs without any
object, those kinds of phrasal verbs are included in this group. Intransitive
phrasal verbs consist of a verb and an adverb, and they do not have an object
(Greenbaum, 1996: 280). Here are some examples:
1) The prisoner got away. ‘escaped’
2) The bomb blew up unexpectedly. ‘exploded’
Clauses (1) and (2) are the examples of intransitive phrasal verbs. In
these sentences there are no direct objects, and the particles cannot be
separated from the verbs (*the prisoner got fastly away and *the bomb blew
immediately up).
Look at these examples carefully:
3) a. My dad comes across really well on TV. ‘to give and
impression’
b. He ran across (the field).
4) a. He ran straight across (the field).
b. Straight across he ran.
5) a. *My dad comes right across really well on TV.
11
b. *Across comes my dad really well on TV.
One of the characteristics of phrasal verbs is that phrasal verbs create
a new meaning (see examples (1), (2), and (3a)). This differs between
intransitive phrasal verbs and free syntactic combinations of verb plus
adverb is that in the former ones the verb and the particle. Moreover, in free
combinations the meaning of the verb and that of the adverb remain intact,
as in (3b), where across is an adverb “semantically equivalent to a reduced
prepositional phrase, from which the complement has been omitted” (Quirk,
et al. 1985: 1155).
In addition, free combinations allow modifiers such as right or
straight to be placed between their constituents (4a) and supposedly allow
inversion (4b), two characteristics that are not admitted by phrasal verbs, as
can be seen in (5a) and (5b) (Quirk, et al. 1985: 1152-1153). However, “in
this as in other criteria, there is an unclear boundary between phrasal verbs
and free combinations” (ibid).
2) Transitive phrasal verbs
Those phrasal verbs which have a direct object as complement are
included in this group. Transitive phrasal verbs also consist of a verb and an
adverb, but they take a direct object (Greenbaum, 1996: 282). Some
combinations of verb and particle can be intransitive or transitive phrasal
verbs depending on their patterns and sometimes change the meaning, as the
examples between (2), (3a) above and (6), (7) below:
6) A single bomb blew up the whole city. ‘destroyed’
12
7) I just came across the ring I had lost three weeks ago. ‘found by
chance’
If we compare (2) with (6) and (3a) with (7), it is found that the
meaning of the phrasal verbs has changed, although in the case of (3a) and
(7) uses bomb as the same function, but it gives two different roles to bomb.
Meanwhile, another opinion stated by Hart (2009: 1) that there are
two categories of phrasal verbs; they are separable phrasal verb and
inseparable phrasal verb. Coghill (2003: 114) also divided phrasal verb into
two categories; separable phrasal verb and inseparable phrasal verb. If a
phrasal verb is separable, its direct object can come between the verb and
the particle.
3) Separable phrasal verbs
Separable phrasal verbs can be separated by their object. When the
object is a noun, it can usually be placed between the verb and the particle
or after the particle. Coghill (ibid) stated that if a phrasal verb is separable,
its direct object can come between the verb and particle. However, when the
object is a pronoun, it must be placed between the verb and the particle.
Both sentences below are correct:
2) a. He put on his coat
b. He put his coat on
3) a. He took off his shoes
b. He took his shoes off
13
From the examples above, the phrasal verb can be separated or
combined. If the phrasal verb form is separated, the object must be placed
between the verb and the particle. However, when a pronoun is used instead
of a noun, the pronoun must be placed between the verb and the particle:
4) a. He put it on
b. *He put on it
5) a. He took them off
b. *He took off them
4) Inseparable phrasal verbs
Inseparable phrasal verb must stay together. Inseparable phrasal
verbs cannot be separated with their object. When they are separated with
their object, the words become ungrammatical (ibid).
6) a. He could not deal with the situation ‘take an appropriate action’
b. *He could not deal the situation with
From the example above, the verb deal cannot be separated with the
particle with. If the verb and the particle are separated, the words become
ungrammatical. Other examples of inseparable phrasal verbs:
7) I can count on my best friend when I am in need. ‘depend on, rely on’
8) The plane is going to take off at 3 pm. ‘depart’
9) My girlfriend promised to look after me when I am sick. ‘take care of’.
Eventhough those two opinions are different, but they do not go
against each other or have contradiction from one to another. Infact, those
two theories go together and strengthen each other. It can be seen that
14
intransitive phrasal verbs need no object and the verbs cannot be seperated
with their particles, it is concluded that all intransitive phrasal verbs are
inseparable. On the contrary, transitive phrasal verbs need object and the
verbs sometimes can be separated, inseparated, or both, it is concluded that
separable phrasal verbs can only be in transitive form. Based on two
opinions above, there are three types of phrasal verbs that can be derived, as
it can be seen below:
separable
transitive
inseparable
Phrasal Verb
intransitive (inseparable)
1. Intransitive phrasal verb

2. Transitive, separable phrasal verb
3. Transitive, inseparable phrasal verb
3. Semantic Distinction
Since we know that phrasal verb has a new meaning from its individual
words, so there must be relevancy between phrasal verb and semantics aspects.
According to Hurford, et al (2007: 1), semantics is the study of meaning in
language. The word ‘meaning’ there covers all aspects of language, either literal
or idiomatic. Since the meaning of an idiom is not predictable from the meanings
of its parts, Quirk, et al (1985: 1162) recognize the idiomatic meaning of phrasal
verb into three main categories:
15
1) Free idiomatic constructions:
The individual meanings of the components are apparent from their
constancy in possible substitutions:
Bring in walk up
Take out run down
In this category, the verb retains its basic concrete meaning while the short
adverb or preposition maintains a literal meaning. Such combinations are
the easiest for language learners to understand and learn. More examples:
came in climb up
get out roll down
2) Semi idiomatic constructions:
The verb retain its concrete meaning, but the short adverb or
preposition adds a nuance that would not be discernible from its basic
meaning. Even though the exact meaning of these phrasal verbs might not
be clear, an approximate meaning might be grasped by a language learner.
This constructions are variable but in a more limited way. The
relation between the verb and particle is similar to that between a stem and
an affix in word formation, in that the substitution of one verb for another,
or one particle for another, is constrained by limited productivity. In phrasal
verbs like find out [‘discover’], cut up [‘cut into pieces’] and slacken off
[‘reduce pace/energy’] the verb word keeps its meaning, whereas the
meaning of the particle is less easy to isolate. In contrast, it is thee particle
which establishes a family resemblance in the following groups:
‘persistent action’ ‘completion’
16
chatter away drink up
fire away break up
work away finish up
beaver away use up
‘aimless behavior’ ‘endurance’
play around mess around draw out
fool around wait around eke out
Completion can also be signaled by out, as in find out, point out,
seek out, figure out, workout, etc.
3) Highly idiomatic:
The constructions such as bring up [‘rear’], come by [‘acquire’], turn
up [‘make an appearance’]. These are thoroughly idiomatic in that there is
no possibility of contrastive substitution: bring up/down; come
by/past/through; turn up/down; etc.
Putting a verb in the third category does not necessarily mean,
however, that its meaning is completely opaque. We can see a metaphorical
appropriateness in bring up for ‘educate’, and this is only one of many
idiomatic verbs containing metaphors fairly clearly derived from their literal
locative interpretations: gloss over (a difficulty); hand down (an heirloom),
piece together (a story), etc. From that, we come to know that it will be
more convenient in general to treat classes (2) and (3) as multi-word verbs.
17
C. SUBTITLE
1. The Translation of Movie Subtitle
Subtitle is simply defined as a text of visual dialogue that usually
appears at the bottom of the screen. Cintas & Remael (2007: 8) specifically
define subtitling as a translation practice that consists of a written text,
generally on the lower part of the screen, that endeavors to recount the
original dialogue of the speakers, as well as the discursive elements that
appear in the image (letters, inserts, graffiti, inscriptions, placards, and the
like), and the information that is contained on the soundtrack (songs, voices
off). As it is known commonly that the function is in order the viewers
understand the dialogue on the screen.
However, the matter that should be known is the types of subtitling.
Gottlieb (1997) in Benjamin (2004: 53) characterizes the types of subtitling
from linguistics aspects, those are:
1. Intralingual subtitling, within the same language. Both of subtitling
of local programmers, subtitled in the same language for the deaf
and hard of hearing, and subtitles for people learning language fall
within this group.
2. Interlingual subtitling, between two languages.
In addition, there are other reasons of those two types of subtitling.
Cintas & Ramael (2007: 14) explain other reasons of intralingual subtitling
are for language learning purpose, for karaoke effect, etc., whereas
interlingual subtitling is for language learning tool.
18
2. The Process of Subtitling
In the process of subtitling, it is quite hard and different rather than to
translate the printed text because subtitling through digital process in which a
subtitle is produced. Cintas & Remael (2007: 30-34), have explained the
detail about subtitling process of movies. Those are as follow:
First of all, a client (most usually a production or distribution company)
contacts a subtitling company and applies for a translation. The subtitling
company then chooses a particular translator who will do the translation.
Someone has to watch the copy of the given movie to make sure there is no
damage to it or other problems. There needs to be a working copy of the film
made. The client may, for example, provide only certain scenes with
dialogues to the subtitling company in order to preserve the movie from
illegal copying.
Next, spotting/timing takes place, which means that a professional
determines when subtitles will appear and disappear. Sometimes the film can
be provided already with a spotting list. Then the translator is given the copy
of the film and a dialogue list (sometimes only one of these two is actually
sent and the translator has to work only from the written dialogue or from the
images and soundtrack). It is very useful for the translator to watch the whole
movie before starting to actually translate, because it is good to think about
several issues first, such as the actual meaning of some words that tend to
have polysemous meaning in the source language, realizing the gender and
19
number of certain nouns or pronouns (e.g. “you” in English), deciding
whether formal or informal form of address will be used in the target
language, etc. When this all is done, the subtitles may be put into the film.
The movie is then screened in a cinema, broadcasted on television or sold on
DVD.
The finished product of the work is subtitle. It is to read and understand
in a few seconds when it is visible on screen. It can be concluded that the
subtitles should be of high quality, so the gist information of a movie can be
understood well.
D. Previous Study
Some studies related to phrasal verbs have been conducted by many
researchers. There are some studies which become a pace for the researcher to
conduct this research, they are; Juniardi, et al (2015) in their journal article
entitled An Analysis of Students’ Phrasal Verbs Translation at English
Department of Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University. The research took place at the
Translation II class of English Education Department, Untirta Serang. The data
which were used in their journal article was taken from a test which required
students to do a translation of an article with several phrasal verbs included.
There are 83% or 462 from the total of 560 phrasal verbs were translated
using semantic translation. Meanwhile, 11% or 64 phrasal verbs translations were
done literally by students, and the rest 6% or 34 were not translated.
20
The second study was conducted by Armita Sari Siregar in her thesis
entitled An Analysis of Phrasal Verbs Found in Khaled Hosseini’s Novel, A
Thousand Splendid Suns in 2013. The data which was used in her thesis was taken
from Khaled Hosseini’s novel entitled A thousand Splendid Suns. She discussed
about phrasal verb found in the novel.
In analyzing the types of phrasal verbs, the theory used from Veres (1998)
and Vlad (1998), which state that there are 2 types of phrasal verbs; transitive and
intransitive phrasal verbs. She found 62.2% or 28 transitive phrasal verbs and
37.78% or 15 intransitive phrasal verbs from the total of 45 phrasal verbs in the
novel.
If those studies are compared with this study, there are some similarities
and differences. The subject matter that has become the researcher’s concern was
very helpful by the two previous studies above, because the main subject of the
researches is the same, which is phrasal verb. Another similarity is that this
research and the first previous study mentioned are in analyzing the meaning of
the phrasal verb. The second previous study also has the similarity with this
research in classifying the types of the phrasal verb.
Yet, this research and the previous researches above have some
differences. The first difference is the data source. As mentioned from previous
chapter, this research uses subtitles of TV-Series: Sherlock – A Study in Pink as
the data source, while the two previous researches used a test and novel as the
data source. Other differences are that the first previous study found two kinds of
translations in translating phrasal verb; semantic translation and literal translation
21
while in this research is focused on semantic distinctions of phrasal verbs
themselves, and the last is that the second previous translation only classified
phrasal verb into two types; transitive phrasal verb and intransitive phrasal verb
while in this research also involves other types of phrasal verbs which are
separable phrasal verbs and inseparable phrasal verb.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter discusses the methodology of the study in details. It describes
the research method that is used to achieve the goals of the study and reviews the
research stages. The chapter is divided into seven parts: research design, data
source, data collecting technique, data analysis, research procedure, research
instruments, and data trustworthiness.
A. Research Design
This research was aimed to find out the types and semantic distinction of
phrasal verbs which were found in subtitles of TV-Series: Sherlock – A Study in
Pink. The design of this research was qualitative research. Mahmud (2011) in
Maghfirah (2014: 22 translated) states that qualitative research is a research which
focuses in analysing data systematically and accurately regarding facts and certain
object, also analysis method which is collecting data then organized, exposed, and
analysed.
The researcher also used content analysis. According to Bryman & Bell
(2011: 289), content analysis is an approach to the analysis of documents and
texts (which may be printed or visual) that seek to quantify content in terms of
predetermined categories and in a systematic and replicable manner. Furthermore,
he (ibid) says that it is a very ﬂexible method that can be applied to a variety of
media. In other words, content analysis is a research method that can be used for
23
studying documents and communication facts, which might be texts of various
formats, pictures, audio or video. The researcher used the data which were
collected from video file containing the subtitles of TV-Series: Sherlock – A
Study in Pink.
B. Data Source
The data of this research were phrasal verbs in subtitles of TV-Series:
Sherlock – A Study in Pink; the subtitles were in English as the same as a
transcription.. The transcripts of the series were taken from:
http://subscene.com/subtitles/sherlock-first-season/english/348923
C. Data Collecting Technique
In this research, documentation technique was used for collecting data.
According to Sarwono (2006: 225), documentation is the technique which help
researcher in order to collect data or information in a way reviewing documents
such as letters, announcements, report summary, warrant of certain policy and
other documents. Bowen (2009: 27) also states that document analysis is a
systematic procedure for reviewing or evaluating documents both printed and
electronic (computer-based and Internet-transmitted) material. In this research,
documentation was intended to obtain data directly from TV-Series: Sherlock – A
Study in Pink and its English subtitles i.e. phrasal verbs. The length of each
episode is about 90 minutes.
24
D. Data Analysis
Data analysis is the most important part to accomplish this research paper.
It contains some steps to analyze data and get the conclusion of the analysis.
Miles, et al (2014: 12) provide that three concurrent flows of action in data
analysis:
1) Data Condensation
Qualitative data need to be condensed and transformed in order to
make them more readily accessible, understandable, and to draw out various
themes and patterns. It directs attention to the need for focusing, simplifying,
and transforming raw data into a more manageable form. As the project
continues, further elements of data condensation will occur (written
summaries, coding, development of grounded themes, identification of
analytic themes, consideration of relevant theoretical explanations, etc.). This
data condensation and transformation process occurs throughout the span of
the research.
In this step, the researcher collected the data after separating the data
from other multi-word verbs such as prepositional verb and phrasal-
prepositional verb by identifying the characteristics of phrasal verb. The
researcher also used coding to condense the data; specifically protocol
coding. According to Miles, et al (2014: 60), protocol coding is the
appropriate coding for qualitative research. By labeling phrasal verb (PhV)
and its duration position (Mnt) the coding will be as following:
25
1. Table 3.1 describes the codification by labeling the phrasal verbs based
on their types and semantic distinctions.
Table 3.1 Table of Coding

phrasal verbs Highly idiomatic HI
2. Table 3.2 shows the coding process to classify the types of phrasal
verbs. On the other hand, it was provided to answer formulation of the
problem 1 (see table 3.2).

3. The coding process to classify the semantic distinctions can be seen at
table 3.3 below. Further, it was used to answer formulation of problem
2 (see 3.3).
Table 3.3 Coding sheet of Semantic Distinctions of Phrasal Verbs
PhV Mnt FR-Id SM-Id HL-Id Meaning
Get around 08:00  ‘avoid problem’
Get up 12:30  ‘arise’
……..
For deciding the meanings of semantic distinctions of phrasal
verbs, the researcher used phrasal verb dictionary and some trusted
websites of phrasal verb dictionary such as:
- Cambridge phrasal verb dictionary
- http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com
- http://www.merriam-webster.com
- http://www.collinsdictionary.com
- http://www.macmillandictionary.com
2) Data Display
The notion of data display was intended to convey the idea that data
were presented as an organized, compressed assembly of information that
permits conclusions to be analytically drawn. Displays might involves tables
of data; tally sheets of themes; summaries or proportions of various
27
statements, phrases, or terms; and similarly reduced and transformed
groupings of data. These displays assisted the researcher in understanding and
observing certain patterns in the data or determining what additional analysis
or actions must be taken. As with the activity of data condensation, the
development of displays was not really a separate step but rather a component
of the analysis process. In displaying the data, the data were sorted, listed, and
categorized of each types and semantic distinction using tables.
3) Drawing and Verifying Conclusions
The last analysis activity was drawing and verifying conclusion.
After the analyzing process and displaying them into tables, it helped the
researcher to understand and conclude the findings from the research.
Nevertheless, in this step, the researcher should concentrate to verify the data
whether there still be found mistake in data because this was the important
part in research. Next, the researcher concluded the findings into more
understandable sentences. Verifying and Conclusion Drawing is where the
data has been analyzed and validated through the theories that used in this
research.
E. Research Procedure
To gain easiness of this study and to answer the research problem, after the
data were collected, then the researcher analyzed them systematically. In order to
make it systematic, the researcher conducted the analysis through some steps as
follow:
28
1) Obtaining the texts from the subtitles of the video file.
2) Identifying phrasal verbs from other multi-word verbs, such as
prepositional verbs phrasal-prepositional verbs.
3) Collecting the data about phrasal verbs.
4) Identifying and classifying the types of phrasal verbs whether they are
intransitive, transitive separable, or transitive inseparable phrasal verbs
using the coding sheet of types of phrasal verbs.
5) Identifying and classifying phrasal verbs into three types of semantic
distinctions whether they are free idiomatic, semi-idiomatic or highly-
idiomatic phrasal verbs using the coding sheet of semantic distinctions of
phrasal verbs.
6) Verifying and validating the data by the raters using inter-rater sheets
7) Listing the phrasal verbs based on types and semantic distinctions as data
findings using tables.
F. Research Instruments
Commonly, qualitative research involves the researcher him/herself to be
the main instrument. According to Moleong (2008) in Pongtiku, et al (2016: 237),
in qualitative research, a researcher is a planner, a data collector, an analyst, a data
interpreter and a reporter of research result. Therefore, as this research is
qualitative research, the primary instrument of the research was the researcher
himself, who had the role of planning, collecting, analyzing and reporting the
research findings. The researcher also used the coding sheets and inter-rater sheets
29
designed based on Paltridge & Starfield’s theory (2007) which simply used
checklist to classify the data.
G. Data Trustworthiness
A technique which is commonly employed to enhance trustworthiness in
qualitative research is triangulation. Triangulation requires using several methods
to address the same question in order to gain trustworthiness of the data
(Vanderstoep & Johnson, 2009: 179). According to Pongtiku, et al (2016: 101),
there are four types of triangulation, i.e. source triangulation, investigator
triangulation, methodological triangulation, theory triangulation.
In order to gain credibility and reliability of the data, this research
employed an investigator triangulation. Investigator triangulation is the use of
more than one investigator (examiner or rater in a study). The ability to confirm
findings across raters without prior discussion or collaboration between them can
significantly enhance the credibility of the findings (Hales, 2010: 15). Using
investigator triangulation, the data were triangulated by raters; the lecturers of
translation subject from University of Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa.

CHAPTER IV
DESCRIPTION AND FINDINGS
A. Types of Phrasal Verbs
Phrasal verbs are divided into intransitive and transitive. Meanwhile,
phrasal verbs can be inseparable and separable. The important thing to be noticed
is that transitive phrasal verbs can be separable or inseparable, while all intrasitive
phrasal verbs are inseparable. It is obvious because intransitive phrasal verbs do
not have object to separate them. Therefore, inseparable phrasal verbs that are
used as data findings are only from transitive phrasal verbs.
1. Intransitive Phrasal Verbs
Intransitive phrasal verb is phrasal verb which takes no object and has
two patterns; verb + adverb (V + ADV) and verb + preposition (V + Prep).
Therefore, intransitive phrasal verb is unnecessary classified to separable or
inseparable phrasal verb as it is mentioned before. The researcher has found
30 data of intrasitive phrasal verbs.

40
(V+Prep+N), and (V+N+Prep). The researcher has found 23 data of transitive
separable phrasal verbs.

3. Transitive, Inseparable Phrasal Verbs
Transitive phrasal verb takes object where the object is only
positioned after the adverb or preposition. It only has two patterns,
(V+ADV+N) and (V+Prep+N). The researcher has found 5 data of transitive
inseparable phrasal verbs.
48
Data No. Phrasal Verb Minute Source Text
24 Get into 34:18 Get into the car, Dr Watson.
the phrasal verb takes object. The phrasal verb has an object (N) “the car”,
and it comes after the preposition (Prep) “into”. It cannot be possible to
place the object in the middle of the verb and particle even though using
pronoun “it”. It means the phrasal verb is inseparable with pattern V +
Prep + N.

The phrasal verb “get together” in the sentence above is classified
particle “together” in phrasal verb constructions create new meaning “to
calm the emotion or to adapt with the situation”. Thus, the sentence means
adapt yourself with the situation.

Cleared off before we got here. But a
57 Clear off 01:21:57 guy like that would have had enemies, I
suppose.
The phrasal verb “clear off” in the sentence above is classified into
substitution for the verb and the particle. However, the verb “clear” and
runaway or leave a place quickly”. Thus, the sentence means runaway
before we got here.

58 Pull in 01:22:58 OK. We'll pull you in tomorrow. Off
you go.
80
The phrasal verb “pull in” in the sentence above is classified into
substitution for the verb and the particle. However, the verb “pull” and
particle “in” in phrasal verb constructions create new meaning “to
investigate or ask someone questions about crime”. Thus, the sentence
means we’ll ask you questions about this crime tomorrow.

 You were going to take that damn pill,
weren't you?
60 Turn up 01:24:05
Course I wasn't. Biding my time. Knew
you'd turn up.
The phrasal verb “turn up” in the sentence above is classified into
substitution for the verb and the particle. However, the verb “turn” and
particle “up” in phrasal verb constructions create new meaning “to arrive
or appear (unexpectedly or after being waited for a long time)”. Thus, the
sentence above means Sherlock tells John that He believes John will
appear to help him.

C. Findings
The research’s purpose is to analyze the phrasal verbs in subtitles of TV-
Series: Sherlock – A Study in Pink. It is found from the data analysis that there are
58 phrasal verbs in subtitles of TV-Series: Sherlock – A Study in Pink. There are
two objectives of the analysis; the types of the phrasal verbs and semantic
distinctions of the phrasal verbs. The findings are drawn in the following table:

In table 4.1, it shows there are two main types of phrasal verbs; transitive
phrasal verb and intransitive phrasal verb. Transitive phrasal verbs can be
separable or inseparable. Besides, intransitive phrasal verb is always in
inseparable form because it does not take object. From 58 phrasal verbs of the
total data, there are 23 data of transitive separable phrasal verb, 5 data of transitive
inseparable phrasal verb, and 30 data of intransitive phrasal verb.
In table 4.2, it shows that there are three semantic distinctions of phrasal
verbs; free idiomatic, semi idiomatic, amd highly idiomatic. From 58 data
83
obtained, there are 13 data of free idiomatic phrasal verb, 22 data of semi
idiomatic phrasal verb, and 23 data of highly idiomatic phrasal verb. The
important thing should be noticed is that the data of phrasal verbs above are not
persistent. It means that free idiomatic phrasal verb can be highly idiomatic or
vice versa depending on the context. For example, the phrasal verb get on above is
classified into highly idiomatic phrasal verb whereas it can also be free idiomatic
phrasal verb in some context.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
In this part, the researcher would like to conclude this research related to
the formulation of the problems and the objectives of the research. There are two
focuses on this research; the types of the phrasal verbs and semantic distinctions
of the phrasal verbs in subtitles of TV-Series: Sherlock – A Study in Pink’. Each of
those will be concluded below.
Based on the analysis of types of phrasal verbs in subtitles of TV-Series:
Sherlock – A Study in Pink, it is concluded that there are three types of phrasal
verbs, those are intransitive, transitive separable, and transitive inseparable. These
are based on two main types of phrasal verbs; transitive phrasal verb and
intransitive phrasal verb. Transitive phrasal verb has branch types of phrasal
verbs; transitive separable phrasal verb and transitive inseparable phrasal verb.
Intransitive phrasal verb takes no object and it has two patterns; verb +
preposition (Verb + Prep) and verb + adverb (V + ADV) (see page 31). Besides,
transitive phrasal verb takes object in its construction and it has four patterns; verb
+ preposition + noun (V + Prep + N), verb + noun + preposition (V + N + Prep),
verb + adverb + noun (V + ADV + N), and verb + noun + adverb (V + N + ADV)
(see page 40). Separable phrasal verb is phrasal verb that the verb can be
separated from its particle, while inseparable phrasal verb is phrasal verb that the
verb cannot be separated from its particle.
85
Free idiomatic phrasal verb retains its meaning of verb and the particle
maintains a literal meaning. Then, semi idiomatic phrasal verb also retains its
meaning of verb, but the particle adds a nuance that would Based on the analysis
of semantic distinctions of phrasal verbs, it is concluded that there are three
semantic distinctions of phrasal verb found in subtitles of TV-Series: Sherlock – A
Study in Pink. They are free idiomatic phrasal verb, semi idiomatic phrasal verb,
and highly idiomatic phrasal verb. not be discernible from its basic meaning.
The last, highly idiomatic phrasal verb has fully idiomatic combination. No
part of the meaning of the combination is predictable from the meanings of
the verb and the short adverb or the preposition.
B. Suggestions
In this part, the researcher would like to contribute some suggestions for
the English lecturers, the English students, and the other researchers who want to
choose phrasal verb for conducting their research.
It is suggested to English lecturers especially who teach translation subject
to give more concern regarding the phrasal verbs. Most of English lecturers
emphasize to teach idiom in their lessons and give less notice of phrasal verbs.
Whereas phrasal verbs are also complicated and some of them are very idiomatic.
In addition, phrasal verbs are nearer to English students than Idiom, which means
phrasal verbs are more often found in the usage of English-daily life, and they can
86
be found more often than idiom in common English passages. That is why English
lecturers should pay attention to teach phrasal verb as well as idiom.
To English students, particularly those who have the same problem, there
are many ways to practice phrasal verbs. One of them is practice by watching
movie. It can be done by watching movie using the original transcription of the
movie and then using the subtitles in Bahasa. It is because practicing by
memorizing one by one phrasal verb, it will be boring and easy to forget. The
point is, English students should find creative ways to practice and fit in
themselves more.
To the further researcher, particularly those who are interested in phrasal
verb for conducting the research, it is suggested to explore this issues wider and
more detail. The researcher realized that there are some point related to phrasal
verb that have not been touched. For examples the particle functions of phrasal
verb, the differences among phrasal verb, prepositional verb, and phrasal-
prepositional verb. The last, hopefully this research can be a reference and there
will be any further researcher to give contribution and complete this research.
