Emily Dickinson’s poems, a precious-mouldering pleasure and there is no frigate like a book, has been selected as the unit analysis of this qualitative research. The primer aspect of the poems that becomes the focus of the research is the poems’ sentence structure, and it is analyzed by Noam Chomsky’s Generative Transformational Grammar as the main theory. The aim of this research is to identify what kinds of transformation that exist in both poems, and to show the bigger picture of how poems, the literature that is not tied to the conventional grammar rules, are analyzed by GTG, the theory that deals with the deep discussion of sentence structure. As the result, there are twelve transformation successfully found in this research; Personal Pronoun Transformation (T-Pro P ), Possessive Pronoun Transformation (T-Pro S ), Inflection-assigning Transformation (T-Infl), Extraposition Transformation (T-Extra), Ellipsis Transformation (T-Ell), Infinitive Transformation (T-Inf), Relative-clause Transformation (T-Rel), Relative-clausereduction Transformation (T-RelRed), Restrictive-phrase-movement Transformation (T-RP), Question Transformation (T-Q), Negative Transformation (T-Neg), Indirect Object Transformation (T-IO); they are collected by drawing the tree diagram that shows the derivation of the sentence in each datum. To sum up, the transformation that happens the most is Inflection-assigning Transformation (TInfl), for it has been generated twenty-seven times in total. At last, the process of drawing the tree diagram shows the complexity of how a sentence is actually constructed, and the application of it has successfully proven that GTG theory is suitable to analyze the poems’ sentence structure.
