The Comparison of Modal Be Going to and Will Between English and Gorontalonese

ABSTRACT


INTRODUCTION
One of the goals of learning a language is the ability to use language both spoken and written [1]- [4].The problem that is usually faced by a human in applying their language skills is how language is used in communication [5]- [8].The important aspect of learning a language is grammar.
In linguistics, grammar is the set of structural rules governing the composition of clauses, phrases, and words in any given natural language.According to Webster's dictionary (Webterdictionary.com,2014) grammar is the art of speaking or writing with correctness or according to established usage, speech considered with regard.
According to [9] Grammar itself has two parts: the first is morphology deals with the structure of words.The second is syntax deals with how words are combined.
Every language has its grammar, for example, in Indonesia.Indonesia consists of 34 provinces with different cultures and languages.every tribe or province has its language.For example: Java language, Batak language, Bugis language, Betawi language, Gorontalo language, etc.Every language has its grammar.The English language also has its grammatical system which has some aspects, such as parts of speech, phrases, 44 clauses, sentences, tenses, etc.Among those aspects, tenses are interesting, especially about modal.
Based on the reason above, the writer is interested in comparing the modal in the English language and Gorontalo language, especially Will and Be Going To.
Gorontalo language is used by the people who live in the province of Gorontalo.Gorontalo is the 32nd province in Indonesia.Previously, it was a district and municipality of North Sulawesi.It consists of 5 districts and 1 municipality, they are Boalemo, Pohuwato, Bone Bolango, Gorontalo, North Gorontalo, and Gorontalo City (wikipedia.org,2014).

LITERATURE REVIEW
In this chapter, the writer presents some theories related to the topic of the research.

Grammar
Talking about language, we will not be apart from the use of grammar.In English grammar has two parts, are: morphology and syntax.Grammar is important because it is the language that makes it possible for us to talk about language.Grammars name the types of words and word groups that makeup sentences not only in English but in any language.According to an Encyclopedia Britannic Company (Mariemwebster.com),"Grammar is the study of classes of words, their inflection, and their function and relation in the sentences".
According to [10] The process of describing the structure of phrases and sentences in such a way that we account for all the grammatical sequences in a language and rule out all the ungrammatical sequences is one way of defining grammar.
When we construct a sentence in English, we should not forget about grammar.Without grammar, we will never know the English language well.In the grammar, there is a modal.

Modal and Semi-Modal
According to [9], there are two syntactically different but semantically related types, Modal and Semi-Modal.

a. Modal
Modals are helping verbs that express a wide range of meanings (ability, permission, possibility, necessity, etc.).Most of the modals have more than one meaning.They are generally used to indicate something potential or uncertain.
According to the Oxford Advanced American Dictionary (dictionary.com,2014), "Modal is a verb such as can, may, or will, etc. that is used with another verb (not modal) to express possibility, permission, intention, etc.".
A modal must occur initially in such a chain.It cannot be preceded by any other verb in English.

b. Semi-Modal
Semi-modal behaves like other secondary verbs in that they can occur at the beginning or in the middle of a chain, but not at the end.It can occur in an initial position; it does not then have the same import as the corresponding modal.Semimodal often carries an "unconditional" sense, while modals may indicate prediction, ability, necessity, etc. [9].
According to grammar and composition (about.com)," a multiword construction based on an auxiliary verb and having some of the same grammatical characteristics.Also known as a semi-modal or lexical auxiliary.
Semi-modal included having to, be able to, be going to, be about to, get to, be bound to, have got to.

Be going to
According to Wikipedia (wikipedia.com,2014) Be going to is a grammatical construction used in English to refer to various types of future occurrences.It is made using appropriate forms of the expression to be going to.It is an alternative to other ways of referring to the future in English, such as the future construction formed with Will, in some contexts the different constructions are interchangeable., while in others they carry somewhat different applications.
Be going to originate by the extension of the spatial sense of the verb go to a temporal sense.Going to is more common in speaking and in informal writing than in formal writing.
One use for the modal auxiliary such as be going to is in showing someone's prediction about the future that someone speaks or writes about before they happen.Another use for be going to is in showing willingness or volition-being agreeable to the idea of doing something (escape com).
Be going to construction consists of the subject, a form of the Capula verb be, the word going, and the to infinitive of the main verb.It can be put into question and negative forms according to the normal rules of English grammar.
Example : The boys are going to fight (s + are + going + to infinitive) He is not going to make it (negative forms, scapula negative with the addition of not) Are you going to bring sue? ( interrogative form) In English grammar notes, the structure be going to is normally used to indicate the futures in English, we use this structure (grammarcl.com,2014): 1) When we have already decided or intend to do something in the future.
Example: I am going to India next week 2) When there are definite signs that something is going to happen.Example: it is so cold!I think it is going to snow 3) When something is about to happen Example: Get back! the bomb is going to explode According to [15] use be going to talk about plans and intentions.Yo may wish to practice saying "gonna", but also practice enunciating the full form.

Be Going To vs Will
In modal there is will and in semimodal, there is be going to.Be going to and will mean the same when they are used to make predictions.And be going to (but not will) is used to express a prior plan.Will (but not be going to) is used to express a decision the speaker makes at the moment of speaking [15].
The difference between Be Going to Will (grammarbank.com,2014): The writer give 20 sentences to the respondent consists of 10 sentences used "be going to" and 10 sentences used "will".All sentences translated to the Gorontalo language, and the most respondent used the word "mamo" before verbs.Mamo also we can say prefix because the place before verb.In other sentence we can see some people used "mo + verb".The word "mo " here as abbreviation from "mamo".
In English when we said the word "akan" we can use be going to or will but there are express the different meaning.But in Gorontalo language the word "akan" we only use mamo in anything either the meaning or situation.
In English the word will we can used for prediction, request, invitations, offers, threat, promise, etc.While the be going to word we can used to talk about planned activity and prediction in the near future.But in Gorontalo language all situation they used the word mamo.

CONCLUSION
After the writer analyze the data, the writer find the different modal especially "be going to vs will "between Gorontalo language and English language.The different there is in the word " Akan " in English we can used be giong to or will but in Gorontalo language we only used the word "mamo".
