Abstrak

Judul tulisan ini adalah "Morphological Process of Derivational Noun in Mahligai Magazine” Proses Morfologi adalah cara mengubah batang untuk menyesuaikan maknanya agar sesuai konteks sintaksis dan komunikasi. Proses morfologi mengubah batang agar memperoleh kata baru. Morfologi adalah salah satu elemen yang paling penting bagi kita yang ingin mempelajari lebih lanjut tentang proses morfologis dalam bahasa Inggris. Ketika kita tidak tahu proses morfologi bahasa Inggris, morfologi memberi kita aturan untuk membentuk kata baru seperti kata kerja, kata benda, kata sifat, menjadi kelas kata lain. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bahwa proses morfologi terjadi pada pembentukan kata benda dan tulisan ini ingin menemukan perubahankelas kata pada akhiran derivatif sebagai bagian dari proses morfologi.

Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif. Penelitian kualitatif digunakan karena sumber data penelitian ini data non-numerik. Teori morfologi digunakan dalam tulisan ini yang dikemukakan oleh Matthew (1991) dan teori-teori pendukung dikemukakan oleh Katamba (1993), Bauer (1983). Dalam proses morfologi, proses morfologi terjadi pada kata benda serta kelas kata yang dapat diubah menjadi kata benda melalui proses morfologi dan ada 2 jenis proses morfologi terjadi pada kata benda; proses tersebut adalah derivasi dan infleksi.

Kata kunci: Proses morfologi, derivatif, akhiran

  • 1.    Background of the Study

Morphology is the study of how words are formed. Words that are composed of more than one morphemes have undergone some type of morphological process. Morphological processes alter stems to derive new words. They may change the word’s meaning (derivational) or its grammatical functions (inflectional). Through the morphological process, we can change the form of noun, verb, and adjective into new word.

  • 2.    Problems of the Study

  • (1)    What types of morphological process occur in noun in the magazine entitled Mahligai?

  • (2)    What are the functions of morphological processes depending on its types?

  • 3.    Aims of the Study

  • (1)    To find types of morphological process occurring in noun in the magazine entitled Mahligai

  • (2)    To analyze the functions of morphological processes depending on its types

  • 4.    Research Methods

Research is one of the effects involved to find and examine the truth of something. Methodology is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study, or the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with a branch of knowledge. Research method is an explanation about the way used by the researcher in doing the research. The research method in this study is classified into three, they are; data source, method and technique of collecting data, and the last one is method and technique of analyzing data. The research method used in this study was qualitative research. Qualitative research was used because the data source of this study in non-numerical data.

  • 4.1    Data Source

The data of this study was taken from magazine entitled Mahligai (November 2013). Mahligai Magazine is an Indonesian magazine where this edition is very special. First, the number of pages are thicker than the original magazine. Each edition is usually only 174 pages, but in this edition, this magazine has 244 pages. Second, about the appearance. For Mahligai loyal readers, they will surely feel the 'metamorphosis' appearance of Mahligai. Both in terms of typographical arrangement, layout, and packaging, the feel of modernity, but it is still grounded in indigenous Indonesian culture.

Third, in terms of content, the publisher has prepared a number of new rubric that aims for more 'shoot' beautiful variety and Indonesian beauty. The reason why Mahligai magazine was chosen as data source it is because Mahligai magazine is bilingual of Indonesian and English so that the meanings of the words are easy to understand.

  • 4.2    Method and Technique of Collecting Data

In analyzing this study, library research method is applied. The data were taken by note taking technique. This data were collected through the following steps. First, the magazine was read carefully, which is used as data source. Second, the data of nouns, verbs, and adjectives were chosen, underlined and classified by note taking. The last step, the data were fixed to the types and functions of morphological process.

  • 4.3    Method and Technique of Analyzing Data

In analyzing this study, the data were analyzed based on the theories of morphology. Qualitative research method is applied based on the theories in this study. First, the data were chosen. Second, the data were categorized; they are the transposition of noun into verb and adjective. The last step, the data were analyzed with immediate constituent by using brackets which is a word may also be analyzed into its immediate constituents-morphemes, such as relaxation into base {relax} and suffix {-ation}.

  • 5.    Analysis of Morphological Process of Derivational Noun in Mahligai Magazine

    5.1    Derivational Morpheme

According to Fromkin (2013), derivational morphemes have clear semantic content. In this sense they are like content words, except that they are not words. When a derivational morpheme is added to a base, it adds meaning. The derived word may also be of a different grammatical class than the original word, as shown by suffixes such as-able and -ly.

  • 5.1.1    Class Changing Derivational Morpheme

According to Remson (2007), derivational morphemes are used to change the grammatical categories of words. Derivational morphemes have clear semantic content. In this sense they are like content words, except that they are not words. When a derivational morpheme is added to a base, it adds meaning.

  • 5.1.2    Class Changing Suffix

Suffix is an affix which is placed after the stem of a word. Common examples are case endings, which indicate the grammatical case of nouns or adjectives, and verb endings, which form the conjugation of verbs.

The analysis of Morphological Process to change verb into noun

  • a) In Koto Gadang terms this stage is called maresek –esek or assessment.

(Y: 2013 P:111 ; L2)

The word assessment is derived from {assess} + {–ment}. Assesment comes from free morpheme asses as base and bound morpheme –ment as nominal suffix produces a new word assessment as stem. The addition suffix –ment at the end of asses is changing the word class and meaning of that word. Assess and assessment belongs to different word classes. Assess belongs to verb and assessment belongs to noun class. The differences also happen in the meaning of both words. Based on the context above, assessment means “the action of assessing someone or something”. The differences of the word class and meaning are caused by the addition of suffix –ment at the end of the word assess.

The analysis of morphological process forming Noun from Adjective

  • a) That’s what made the price of the pearls gone crazy, and jewelry and fashion items from pearls can be more expensive than diamonds, and can only be purchased by the jetset and the wealthy because they were very expensive. (P:98 ; L16)

The word wealthy comes from the {wealth} + {–y}. The word wealthy as stem is derived from free morpheme wealth as base and –y as nominal suffix. Those words belong to different class and meaning. The word wealth belongs to noun, but when the suffix –y is added to the root it becomes adjective class. Suffix-y also changes the meaning of the base. Wealth in the sentence means “An abundance of valuable possessions or money” and wealthy means “Having a great deal of money, resources, or assets; rich”.

  • 5.1.3    Class maintaining Suffixes

  • a) Maybe pearls and keshi are combined with silver and role gold metal plating into a set of jewelry such as brooch, bracelet and earrings with a unique koi fish theme. (P:93 ; L:1)

The word jewelry comes from base {jewel} + suffix {–ry}. The combination of the root jewel and suffix –ry gain the output word jewelry which change the meaning of both jewel and jewelry, but does not change any word class of it. Jewel means “A precious stone, typically a single crystal or piece of a hard lustrous or translucent mineral cut into shape with flat facets or smoothed and polished for use as an ornament” after suffix –ry is attached and jewel becomes jewelry, it has meaning “decorative objects worn on your clothes or body which are usually made from valuable metals, such as gold and silver”.

  • 6.    Conclusion

Morphology is the study of how words are formed. Many words are simply a stem with no other morphemes added, such as table. Words that are composed of more than one morpheme have undergone some type of morphological process. Morphological Process is a means of changing a stem to adjust its meaning to fit its syntactic and communication context. Morphological process can occur in word classes of noun, adjective, and verb. There are 3 types of Morphological Process, they are affixation, prefixation and suffixation. Morphological Process has 2 functions, they are Derivational and Inflectional. Under the suffixes that can change word from one grammatical class to another, we have basically

three groups. The presence of the suffixes signal the grammatical class of the words in which they appear, they are: noun suffixes, verb suffixes, adjective suffixes
