Next, the data are analyzed by using the distribution method and the observation method. Indeed, the study indicated 7 forms of correlative conjunctions, namely correlative conjunctions  tidak hanya-tetapi juga ‘not only-but also’, tidak hanya-namun,  tidak hanya-melainkan, bukan hanya-melainkan, bukan hanya-tetapi ‘not only-but’, baik-maupun ‘neither-nor’, baik-ataupun ‘either-or’.
