- Abstract
Mastery of active and passive sentences in this study is part of acquiring Indonesian as children’s first language. This study aims to describe the mastery of thematic roles in active and passive Indonesian sentences which are spoken from the speech of 4-year-old children. This study focused on the thematic roles in active and passive voice of 4 years old related to the types of verbs in active and passive voice. The approach used is descriptive qualitative. Data in the form of speeches of children aged 4 years with a total of 5 participants. Data collection was carried out in two ways, namely case studies and corpus data. Data analysis was carried out using the thematic role theory proposed by Andrews (1958) and Radford (1988) in Saeed (2016, pp. 150-151). The results showed that the thematic role of the active sentence was patterned by actor, patient, receiver, instrument, and location. For passive sentences, the thematic roles are patient and patient + actor. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that children aged 4 years are able to use complex sentences, namely active sentences and passive sentences. In addition, they not only mastered verbs but also mastered thematic roles in active and passive sentences.
