This undergraduate thesis, entitled “Sentence
Patterns, Types, and their Communicative Functions in Board Game Rule
Books for Educational Purposes,” was conducted under the supervision of Siska
Bochari and Wahyudin.
This study examines sentence patterns, sentence types, and their communicative
functions in English board game rule books, with a focus on their potential use for
educational purposes. The study is grounded in the importance of clear and effective
instructional language in rule books, which function as practical non-academic texts
and can support English language learning by exposing learners to a range of
sentence structures. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the data were collected
through documentation of sentences from selected sections of educational board
game rule books, chosen through purposive sampling. The analysis is based on
Quirk et al.’s seven sentence pattern framework and Searle’s speech act theory,
while sentence types are classified into simple, compound, complex, and
compound–complex forms. The findings show that all major sentence patterns
proposed by Quirk et al. are present, with a full range of sentence types also
identified. In terms of communicative function, assertive sentences are used to
describe game elements and conditions, while directive sentences dominate the
instructional sections, guiding player actions and ensuring effective rule delivery.
