analyzing the word structure including morphemes 1989: 13. Crystal states that “morphological process is a process of the words formation” 2008: 58. In this
study, the morphological approach shows that morphology relates to suffix in involving the word formation. Therefore, the morphological approach is
appropriate for this study because the researcher is about to know how to form the words. It can be said that the morphological approach is used to examine the
form-changing of the word attaching the suffix {-ful}. The second is the phonological approach. It is also used to complete the
study. Kreidler defines that phonology deals with the knowledge of the sound pattern of a language 1989: 10. As understanding the theory, it is concluded that
phonology is a study of the sound patterns. It also concerns with the way speech sounds are organized into sound systems by describing pronunciations. In other
words, it is used to know what is relevant in pronunciation, what makes it possible to communicate, and what makes utterance different from others.
C. Method of the Study
The method of study is divided into two subparts. The first is data collection. The second is data analysis.
1. Data Collection
The data are collected from The COMPLETE SHORT STORIES of Ernest Hemingway. The researcher chooses twenty five short stories to be analyzed in
this study. The researcher gains the data further by taking the words having the suffix {-ful} from The COMPLETE SHORT STORIES of Ernest Hemingway. The

word not having the suffix {-ful} are not included to the data collection. The data collection uses sampling method. It means that in getting the sample data, the
researcher only collects all the words receiving the suffix {-ful} from The COMPLETE SHORT STORIES of Ernest Hemingway.
Based on the source, there are forty two words in which the suffix {-ful} attaches to those words. Meanwhile, Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of
Current English Ninth Edition 2015 is used as a tool to answer the formulated problems. The Oxford dictionary is needed because it provides the International
Phonetic Alphabet IPA to find the phonetic transcription. By using this dictionary, the researcher analyzes the phonological changes and lexical
categories of each word. In this study, the data collection uses the sampling method because the researcher only collects the words having the suffix {-ful}.
2. Data Analysis
In analyzing the data, the researcher does some following steps in order to answer the problems formulation. Firstly, the researcher only collects the data
from twenty five short stories in The COMPLETE SHORT STORIES of Ernest Hemingway. The data collection is the words having the suffix {-ful}. To reduce
errors in analyzing the base, the researcher uses the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English Ninth Edition 2015 as a tool to figure out the
bases of analyzed words having the suffix {-ful}. The Oxford dictionary also helps the researcher to check the IPA of the bases and the words receiving the
suffix {-ful}. Those bases are categorized based on their lexical categories, last letters, and last phonemes.
