C. Theoretical Framework
There are eight theories that are presented and used by the present writer in order to help the research. Those theories are theory of word formation, theory of
word coinage, theory of noun categories, theory of word borrowing, theory of meaning, Those theories have their own contributions toward this present
research. This research has three objectives. The first objective is to find out the
forms of brand names. The second objective is to find the pronunciation changes of brand names as the result of word formation process. The third objective is to
find the meaning of those brand names. Theory of word formations, word coinages, noun categories, and word
borrowing are used to answer the first problem. Those theories are useful since they contribute to bring the understanding about the forms of brand names.
Theory of pronunciation and morphophonemic process are used to answer the second problem. By applying theory of pronunciation, the pronunciation of
coined words can be checked. The morphophonemic process theory is used to analyze the changes on pronunciation of some brand names because of the word
formation process. Theory of meaning, nature of words, and word borrowing are used to
answer the third problem. By using those theories, the meaning behind the names of those brands can be analyzed.
