ABSTRACT

This study is concerned with morphological process. Specifically the study deals with word formation processes in texting message. The objective of the study is to analyze the word formation process used in texting message. The research method used in the study is descriptive method. The writer analysed all the collected expressions, which were derived from thirty SMS texts on the writer’s mobile phone to identify the types of word formation processes. The data taken from the writer’s mobile phone written through SMS Communication sent by the writer’s friends mobile. The analysis shows that there are six aspects of word formation process, namely clipping (52%), borrowing (33%), multiple processes (30%), acronyms (4%), miscellaneous (3%) and blending (1%) , it means that clipping is the most dominant type used in texting message.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1

Background of Study

This study deals with morphology. In other words, the study is concerned with the process of word formation such as borrowing, blending, clipping, acronyms, miscellaneous, and multiple processes. Nida (1949:1) says that morphology is the study of morphemes and their arrangements in forming words.

Morphology has word formation processes, and language users may also make new words by means of word creation (or word manufacturing). The following types can be distinguished like acronyms, blending, clipping, coinage, compounding, back formation, truncation, contraction, borrowing and miscellaneous.

In formation is sometimes contrasted with single word's meaning. The boundary between word formation a can be difficult to define: a new use of an old word can be seen as a new word derived from an old one and identical to it in form. Word formation can also be contrasted with the formation of formed from multi-word phrases.

Multiple processes in George Yule’s theory is about word formation processes, the first creation of particular words in multiple processes is clipping and borrowing. Clipping is the element of reduction. This occurs when a word of more than one syllable is reduced to a shorter form, often in casual speech. Then, borrowing is the taking over of words from other languages.

in this study there are problems that arise of word formation in texting messages that cause a lot of new language style expression based on the process how they were produced. and as for the problems to be studied because of word formation that violates the rules of written language are categorized in word formation processes

Text messaging, or texting, is the act of typing and sending a brief, electronic message between two or more mobile phones or fixed or portable devices over a phone network. The term originally referred to messages sent using the

Message Service (SMS); it has grown to include messages containing image, video, and sound content (known as as a texter).

There are some style of texting message used by teenagers. Those style become habits for us. They use SMS for communication with their friends via mobile phone. When they communicate through SMS, they apply some styles. Commonly, these styles understood to each others. There are some SMS styles usually understood by teenagers. For example Clipping, Multiple Processes, Borrowing, Acronyms, Miscellaneous and blending.

Reasons the author chooses this title is to identify word formation processes in that violates the rules of written language that are categorized in word formation processes. See the development of a new style in texting message. Researching style in texting messages only used by certain circles (teens)

1.2 Problem of the Study

In this study, the writer is interested in investigating word formations that occur in texting message. The problem of the study is word-formations that are used to form new expressions in texting message through mobile phone.

For the investigation, as guidelines, the problem of the study is formulated as follows :

1) What kinds of word formation are found in texting message? 2) Which word formation is frequently used in texting message?

1.3 Objective of the Study

Objectives of study are to find out the :

1) Kinds of word formation that are found in texting message are borrowing, blending,clipping, acronym, miscellaneous and multiple processes.

2) Word formation that is frequently used in texting message is clipping and borrowing expressions.

1.4 Scope of the Study

This study focuses on morphological processes in texting message by 30 respondens namely friends of writer, the use of word formation processes through, the interaction is text from the writer’s mobile phone which are sent by the writer friends. The scope of the subject matters are the main aspect borrowing, blending, clipping, acronyms, miscellaneous, and multiple processes.

1.5 Significance of the Study

This study hopefully will give contribution to the knowledge of morphology, namely word formation processes in creating new expressions through texting message. Later on, the writer hopes that this study will contribute more knowledge to common people to get more understanding about the extension of morphology and further studies concerning word formation processes. By having more understanding about word formation processes, the writer hopes that the readers will be aware of any new expressions used in texting message.

2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE

2.1 Theoritical Framework

Jannedy (1991:134) says that Morphology is the study of how words are stuctured and how they are put together from smaller parts. Morphologists not only identify the different classes of morphemes but also study the patterns that occur in the combination of morphemes in a given language.

Roberts (1980:19) says that Morphology is the study of word stucture. The claim that words have structure might come as a surprise because normally speakers think of words as indivisible units of meaning. This is probably due to the fact that many words are morphologically simple. For example, the, fierce, desk, eat boot, at, fee, mosquito, etc. Cannot be segmented (i.e. divided up) into smaller units that are themselves meaningful. It is impossible to say what the –quito part of mosquito or the –erce part of fierce means.

Bloomfield (1993:218) says that a form of language that has no phonetic similarity and meaningful. thus, similar forms of language sounds, but do not like is the meaning of each morpheme.

Parera (1988:25) says that the forms in Indonesian language that sound similar, but not similar meanings. These forms are called homophones and homograph. so, homonyms and homograph forms are each morpheme.

Jannedy (1991:134) says that a morpheme is the smallest linguistic unit that has a meaning or grammatical function.

Roberts (1980:41) says that a root is the irreducible core of a word, with absolutely nothing else attached to it. It is the part that is always present, possibly with some modification , in the various manifestations of a lexeme. For example, walk is a root and it appears in the set of word forms that instantiate the lexeme walk such as walk, walks, walking and walked. Many words contain a root standing on its. Roots which are capable of standing it. Independently are called free morphemes.

Free morpheme is noun, adjective, verb, preposition or adverb. Such morpheme carry most of the ‘semantic content’ of utterences, loosely defined to cover nations like referring to individuals (the nouns: John and mother), attributing properties (the adjectives: kind and clever), describing actions, process or states (the

verbs: hit, write and rest), expressing relations (the preposition: in, on, under) and describing circumstances like manner (kindly).

Many other free morphemes are function words. These differ from lexical morphemes in that while the lexical morphemes carry most of the ‘semantic content’, the function words mainly (but not exclusively) signal grammatical information or logical relations in a sentence. Typical function words include the following:

Function words

articles: a, the

demonstratives: this, that, these, those

pronouns: I, you, we, they, them; my, your, his, hers; who, whom,which,whose, etc.

conjunctions: and, yet, if, but, however, or, etc.

Jannedy (1991:134) says that bound morphemes never exist as words themselves, but are always attached to some other morpheme. For example: consider the words rewrite, retake and relive. Notice that re- is a bound morpheme that attaches only to verbs and furthermore, attaches to the beginning of the verb, not the end. Every speaker of English knows you can’t say write -re or take –re (where re- is connected to the end of the free morpheme), nor can you say rechoice or repretty (where re- is connected to a morpheme that is not a verb).

Such roots are called bound morphemes. Examples of bound morphemes are given below:

-mit as in permit, remit, commit, admit -ceive as in perceive, receive, conceive

Pred- as in predator, predatory, predation, depredate Sed- as in sedan, sedate, sedent, sedentary, sediment

Bauer (1983:1) says that word formation is central interest to theoritical linguists of all persuasions because of the light it throws on other aspects of language.

Yule (1985:51-55) says that there are lots of new words or new expressions in our daily today. Also, there are new evolutions of new words or new uses of old terms as reassuring sign of vitality and creativeness in the way of language which is

shaped by the needs of users. Then, there are some methods of words formation processes which explain how a new expression or new word is created such as: The term Coinage may mean the invention of totally new terms or words which can possibly come from the old uses to the new uses. Familiar recent examples are kleenex and xerox, which also began as invented trade names, and which have quickly become everyday words in the language.

Borrowing firstly is the present participle of borrow, but on this occasion means borrowing is taking over words from other languages. For example: Croissant is a small sweet roll with a curved shaped from French. Piano is a large musical instrument played by pressing the black and white keys on the keyboard, this instrument is borrowed from Italia. Boss is a person who is in charge of other people at work and tells them what to do, this word is borrowed from Dutch.

Montgomery ( 2001:55) says that the most frequent and obvious instances of linguistic borrowing are loan words, which enter a language as a result of various political and cultural factors.

Compounding is a process of joining two or more separate words to produce a single form. Example: Bookcase is a piece of furniture with shelves for keeping books on. Fingerprint is a mark made by the pattern of lines on the tip of a persons finger and often used by the police to identify criminals. Sunburn is the condition of having painful red skin because you have spent too much time in the sun. Wallpaper is used for covering the walls and ceiling of a room and Doorknob is a type of round handle for a door.

Blending is the combining of two separate forms to produce a single new terms. However blending is typically accomplished by taking only the biginning of one word and joining it to the end of other word. Example: ultah (ulang tahun), e-mail (electric/mail), brunch (breakfast/lunch), motel (motor/hotel) and telecast (television/broadcast).

Clipping is when a word of more than one syllable is reduced to a shorter form, often in casual speech. Example: ad (‘advertisement’), fan (‘fanatic’) and lab (laboratorium).

Backformation is reduced to form another word of a different type. Example: televise (television), edit (editor), donate (donation) and emote (emotion).

Acronyms is an abbreviation formed from the initial components in a phrase or a word. These components may be individual letters or parts of words. Example: radar (radio detecting and ranging), laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) and scuba (self contained underwater breathing apparatus)

Multiple processes is about word formation processes, the first creation of particular words in multiple processes is clipping and borrowing. Example : the term deli seems to have become a common American English expression via a process of first borrowing delicatessen (from German) and then clipping that borrowed form.

Chaer (1994:177) says that Indonesian word formation processes consist of derivation (derivatif). compounding (komposisi), conversion (konversi) and clipping (pemendekan). The Indonesian word formation processes are written below:

One of the processes of word formation is called derivation (derivatif). Word formation through derivation usually creates new words for example the word to eat (makan) can become food (makanan) or to play (main) can become game (permainan). For examples: friend – friendship, leader – leadership. Derivational suffix –ship is used to change a concrete noun base into an abstract noun (meaning ‘state condition).

From the position how to attach to the affix, derivation is devided into prefix and one suffix. When some affixes have to be added to the beginning of a word, these processes are called prefix (prefiks). For example, me- in the word to entertain (menghibur) or nge- in the word to feel (ngerasal).

Inggriani (2008:1) says that word formation processes is a process of word formation. The purpose of this study to identify the formation of words that violates the rules of written language are categorized in Word Formation Processes. In the process of data collection techniques used observational methods to record-matching data were analyzed by the method, in this case Word Formation Processes as a determinant. The theory used to analyze the data was a theory advanced by Yule on the process of word word formation.

Furthermore, the data presented by formal methods (using tables) and informal (using words). Word formation processes category there are 9 process changes, such as Clipping, Compounding, Coinage, Conversion, Blending, Back formation, borrowing, Acronym, Derivation and analysis of the results found in this study are

the first type 3 process (Clipping expressions) as much as 20 %, then from the study also found the formation of words that do not fit into the categories based on the theory of the context sentence Yule, which later named author (Pronounced alike expressions) about 26%, and the fourth type (Blending expressions) found only 13% emergence. For the category of Word Formation Processes other in the analysis, there were no use of Compounding, Coinage, Conversion, Back formation, Borrowing, and Derivation role in language chat.

Nasikah (2005:1) says that word formation is a branch of linguistics that studies about the process of constructing new words from existing materials. There are many ways of constructing new words like compounding, borrowing,coinage, blending, clipping, backformation, conversion, acronym, and derivation. In this study, the writer investigated the word formation processes on the terms used in Microsoft Word 2000 and their function. The writer is interested in discussing this because Computer technolofy is one of primary needs of life that has a stronger existence in each sector of human life. Without having basic knowledge of English grammar and vocabuary, people will not understand English terms on computer and cannot operate it well.

Roberts (1980:44) says that an affix is a morpheme which only occurs when attached to some other morpheme or morphemes such as a root or stem or base. Obviously, by definition affixes are bound morphemes. No word may contain only an affix standing on its own, like -s, -ed, -al or even a number of affixes strung together like –al, -s.

These two facts have an important consequence for determining the way in which words with more than one affix must be formed. What it means is that words are formed in steps, with one affix attaching to a complete word, which can be a free morpheme or morphologically complex word. Words with more than one affix are not formed in one single step, with the affixes and stem just strung together. For example : unusable, which is composed of a prefix un-, a stem use, and a suffix – able.

Prefix is an affix attached before a root or stem or base like re-, un- and in- : Prefix Word class of

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.

Some examples : -able, -ation, -er, -ion. –ive, ing, -ment, -al, -ial, - ian, -ous, -ness. Suffix Word class of

2.2 Conceptual Framework

Yule (1985:61) says that there are lots of new words or new expressions in our daily today, also there are new evolutions of new words or new uses of old terms as reassuring sign of vitality and creativeness in the way of language which is shaped by the needs of users.

Based on the theory, it can be concluded that new words or epression we formulated through several methods, such as Coinage, Borrowing, Compounding, Blending, Clipping, Backformation, Acronyms, Multiple Processes.

2.3 SMS

Wahidin (2010:2) says that Short Message Service (SMS) is a component of text telephone communication services, web, or mobile communication system, using standard communications protocols that allow the exchange of short text messages between fixed line or mobile device. The SMS concept was developed in the Franco-German GSM cooperation in 1984 by Friedhelm Hillebrand and Bernard Ghillebaert. The innovation in SMS is Short. The key idea for SMS was to use this telephony-optimized system, and to transport messages on the signaling paths needed to control the telephony traffic during time periods when no signaling traffic existed. In this way, unused resources in the system could be used to transport messages at minimal cost. However, it was necessary to limit the length of the messages to 128 bytes (later improved to 140 bytes, or 160 seven-bit characters) so that the messages could fit into the existing signaling formats.

The first proposal which initiated the development of SMS was made by a contribution of Germany and France into the GSM group meeting in February 1985 in Oslo. This proposal was further elaborated in GSM subgroup WPI Services (Chairman Martine Alvernhe, France Telecom) based on a contribution from Germany. There were also initial discussions in the subgroup WP3 network aspects chaired by Jan Audestad (Telenor).

The result was approved by the main GSM group in a June ’85 document which was distributed to industry. The input documents on SMS had been prepared by Friedhelm Hillebrand (Deutsche Telekom) with contributions from Bernard Ghillebaert (France Telecom).

Wahidin (2010:3) says that SMS uses canal or text way in processing the connection. As a result, the recipient can still receive the message while talking on the phone.

When a message is sent to or mobile phone, it will pass through SMS Center, then to the tower (Base Transmission System). Then to our cellular or mobile phone. It is also applied when we send a message, it will pass through SMS Center, then to the tower, then to the destined cellular. The data sent is long message (amount of characters), delivery time, destination number, message form (reguler or multimedia), along with other information.

Wahidin (2010:5) says that there are some types of SMS application, such as:

a. Premium SMS is two-way SMS by using a unique four digit number such as 96xx, example SMS Quiz,SMS Polling.

b. Broadcast SMS is one way SMS type, which is sent to many numbers by one click from your computer. Because of its one way system, this type is very suitable used as information save from or marketing products such as launching event, campaign, promotion, etc.

c. Gateway SMS is a two way sms, with the uniqueness of validating all costs SMS into regular cost/tarif, according to the provider. Because of its two way operation, this type is suitable for organizational or institutional center sms

3. METHOD OF THE STUDY

There are some different methods can be applied in order to do a research or writing. For examples: library research, field research, experiment, etc. This time on this circumstances, the writer of this thesis used library research . as we may know that the data used by the writer in writing this thesis are taken from written text. They are taken from the writer’s HP and so her friends.

3.1 Research Design

The writer uses the descriptive method in conducting the research. This research is going to determine the nature of how a new expression is created, in this case, the specific situation is dealing with the new expression written in texting message. Thus, the aim of descriptive study in this study is to tell what the word formation processes are used in texting message. I would rather seek information about the word formation processes used in texting message. The population of a research is thirty HP of the writer’s friends. So it means that the instrument of collecting the required data are the writer’s HP and her friends HP. She asks those twenty nine friends not to erase the messages they sent to and received from.

3.2 The Instruments of Collecting Data

In this study, the writer analysis the word formation processes used in texting message. The data taken from the writer’s mobile phone written through SMS communication sent by the writer’s friends. HP the writer and her friends make schedule to share the news samed in the HP. The writer see her those twenty nine friend everyday

3.3 Procedures of Analysis The Data

As the writer has had the data which have been collected from her friends, she starting to tabulate them. All the collected data has been storaged in a data disk. Beside she has storaged the data in the disk, she also made the transcription for further analysis. It seemed that most of the collected data are new expression because she can not find the meanings of the words used on the messages in her english or Indonesian dictionaries. For instances in clipping, sdh which mean sudah, ea means

iya, bgm means bagaimana, tgl means tanggal, mgg means minggu. Examples in borrowing is ngamuk expression which means be angry is borrowed from Javanese dialect, for is borrowed from English, happy is borrowed from English, have fun is borrowed from English, ojo expression which means not is borrowed from Javenese dialect. Examples from blending is ultah are blended from the words ulang tahun. Examples From Acronyms is RS which means hospital usually is shorted from the word Rumah Sakit, meter which means measure unit into M. Examples in miscellaneous is + which means plus, 4 which means for, 2 which means too. Examples in Multiple process is met pagi means selamat pagi, b’day which means birthday, mrcg which means merancang, gud which means good, B’4 which means

before, etc.

In analysing the data, the writer uses some steps. Firstly, she classifies the data by following the instructions of the theory. The writer analysed all the collected expressions, which were derived from thirty SMS texts on the writer’s mobile phone to identify the types of word formation processes.

The writer classified expression based on the process how they were produced. In order to write the classification, Yule (1996:51) says that word formation processes that consist of compounding, derivation, conversion, coinage, borowing, clipping, acronym, blending, back formation. In the analysis, if the writer finds the data which has two or more types of word formation processes, the writer will name it multiple processes. Also, if the writer finds the process that is not included in the theory of George Yule about the types of word formation processes, the writer will name it miscellaneous type.

Then, the writer makes some tables that will make the analysis easier. The first table is table of 1-30 SMS text made when the writer collect the new SMS expression in the appendices. These, tables consist of number of data, type of word formation processes, SMS expressions and the meaning of expressions. To analyse all thirty SMS (Short Message Service) texts, the writer will be shown in table. Which will be displayed in chapter 4 as the finding. It consists of type of word formation processes and multiple processes miscellaneous.

4. ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS

4.1. The Process of Borrowing

Borrowing is taking over words from other languages. Throughout its history, the English languages has adopted a vast number of loan words from other languages including : alcohol (Arabic), boss (Dutch), and so on.

A special type of borrowing is described as loan translation or calque. In this process, there is a direct translation of the elements of a word into the borrowed language.

The writer has found 33 expressions of borrowing, 11 expressions of borrowed from Javanese dialect, one expression is borrowed from Jakarta dialect, 21 expression is borrowed from English. The explanation is present in the finding :

• “..jangan ngamuk ma aku..” (from SMS no.15) is translated into “don’t be angry with me..” Ngamuk expression which means be angry is borrowed from Javanese dialect.

• “Kak thx for all ya. Sip kak kadomu bermanfaat” (from SMS text no. 18) is translated into “Sis, thanks for all.It’s good things”, they will say “Sip

barange”. Sip expression also has the same meaning in Javanese dialect with apik expression. If Javanese people want to say, “It’s very good”, they will say “Apik tenan”.

• “..jangan gak datang ya..” (from SMS no. 20) is translated into “. Do not come ya..”. Gak expression is borrowed from Javanese dialect which means not.

• “..km yak apa?..” (from SMS no.19) is translated into “How are you?”

Yak apa expression is borrowed from Javanese dialect and used when

they want to know the condition of the hearer.

• “..skripsine wis mari?...” is translated into “Has your thesis already been finished?” (from SMS text no 19) Wis expression is borrowed from Javanese dialect and which means has already.

• “..skripsine wis mari?...” is translated into “Has your thesis already been finished?” (from SMS text no 19) Mari expression is borrowed from Javanese dialect and which means finish. Even thought in Indonesian languages, there is mari expression but the meaning of mari in Indonesia is an encourage word to ask people to do something.

• “Ok piye padahal km mau aku suruh.. ” (from SMS text no. 23) is

translated into “Ok, How can I handle it while I ask you...” Piye

expression which means “how is” is borrowed from Javanese dialect. Javanese people usually use this expression when they want to ask how the hearer condition is or what manners that they can use to solve problem, like the expression on the SMS no.23, the sender asks her friend to help her but her friend can not help her so piye expression shows that the sender is confused and needs help.

• Nyampe expression is borrowed from Javanese dialect. On the SMS text

“..Blm ini lg nyampe Aceh...” (from SMS no. 5) is translated into “Not yet, I am still in Aceh...” Nyampe expression means arrive or until. First of all, nyampe expression come from sampai (translated from Indonesian language). Then, sampai expression is influenced by Javanese dialect to become nyampe expression.

• On the SMS text “...Ojo lupa minum obat...” (from SMS no. 20) is translated into “...Don’t forget to drink your medicine...” Ojo expression which means not is borrowed from Javanese dialect.

The users of SMS (Short Message Service) communication usually use Javanese dialect because the writer takes the data of SMS text in East Java so that most of the users of SMS text use Javanese dialect in writing SMS text as their second language after Indonesian language.

• On the SMS text “...bsk kita bikin kuenya...” (from SMS no. 10) is translated into “...tomorrow we make the cake..” Bikin expression which means make is borrowed from Jakarta dialect. The users of SMS (Short Message Service) communication also use Jakarta dialect in writing their SMS text because the influence of teenager stories or TV or media which usually use Jakarta dialect as their daily language like in Cinta SMU or Gadis Magazine, et cetera.

• Also, there are many expression borrowed from English, like for means

untuk (in Indonesian translation), happy means senang (in Indonesian

translation), have fun means bersenang-senang (in Indonesian translation), et cetera.

There are two reasons why the users of SMS (Short Message Service) communication use English is writing the SMS text because some English words are shorter that Indonesian words. For example: the users will write saya (in Indonesian language) replaced by the word I [ai] (in English) because the writing of word saya is longer than the word of

I (saya). Then, the users of SMS communication will choose to write I

than saya. Second, most users of SMS communication are students of English department so they often use English in Writing SMS text.

4.2 The Process of Blending

Blending is the combining of two separate forms to produce a single new term. However, blending is typically accomplished by taking only the begining of one word and joining it to the end of other word.

Blending

SMS Expression Intended Expression Lexical Meaning

The words ulang tahun (birthday) are blended into the word ultah. The processes of blending is the first part of the word ulang with the first part of the word

tahun blended as in ultah, from ulang dan tahun.

4.3 The Process of Clipping

Clipping is when a word of more than one syllable is reduced to a shorter form, often in casual speech.

Clipping process has many kinds of ways to form the new expressions. Some expressions are clipped only in the end syllable, for instance uk (ukuran). Then, there is the clipping process of the first syllables of a word, for example met (selamat) and

ma (sama), the clipping process which is not as frequent as the other type is omitting the middle part of the expressions.

Note :

CL 01 : Clipping of the first syllable/s CL 02 : Clipping of the end syllable/s

CL 03 : Clipping of the first syllable and the end syllable CL 04 : Clipping the middle part of the word

CL 05 : Clipping of the end first syllable and ommiting the vowel representation CL 06 : Omiting the middle of the syllable and the vowel representation

CL 07 : Omitting the vowel representation

The first type of clipping occurs in the first syllables of a word.

• Nanti is clipped into nti. The process of clipping of nanti into nti is the letter n and the vowel a are omitted.

• Sudah is clipped into udah. The process of clipping sudah to become

into udah is the omission of the letter s.

• Saja (only, just) is clipped into aja expression. Aja can be put in the first type of clipping because the letter s in aja expression is omitted.

• Sama is clipped into ma. The process of clipping is the omission of

the letter s and the vowel a, then sama becomes ma which means with someone.

The second type of clipping in the end syllables of a word.

• Latihan (training, exercising) → lat, latihan is clipped into lat and the letters l, h, a, n placed after the letter t are omitted.

• Pulang (go home) → pul. The syllables after l are omitted, that are a, n and g.

• Ukuran (measure) → uk, The omission of syllables are u, r, a and n.

The third type of clipping occurs in the first syllable and the end syllable. • Menanyakan (to ask) → nanya, the first syllable m and e and the end

syllables k, a, and n are omitted and the type of the word nanya still a verb as in menanyakan.

The fourth type of clipping omits the middle part of the word

• Tahu (know) → tau, the middle letter h is omitted and tahu change becomes into tau.

• Lihat which means see is clipped into liat and the letter h is omitted.

• Terus which means continue is replaced into trus, the word trus omits

the middle letter is the letter e.

The reasons why users of SMS (Short Message Service) communication choose to write tahu → tau, lihat → liat and terus → trus because the space of SMS (Short Message Service) screen is limited so the users write the shorter expressions than writing in complete from. Second, the users wrote three expressions as the users pronounced each expressions.

The fifth type is clipping occuring in the end syllables and omitting the vowels representation.

• Bagaimana which means how is clipped into bgm, this type omits the

vowels a and i and the end of syllables of the word is clipped.

The sixth type of clipping is omitting the middle of syllable of a word and the vowel representation. We see in the following examples :

• Tanggal (Date) → tgl, the vowel a is omitted and the middle syllables of this word n and g also omitted.

• Sekarang, which means now, is clipped into skrg. The process of

clipping of sekarang is the omission of the vowels e and a, and the letter n.

• Datang, which means come is clipped into dtg. The vowel a and the

letter n are omitted.

• Langsung which means immediately is clipped into lgsg. The vowels

a and u and the letter n are omitted.

• Berangkat, which means go is clipped into brgkt. The vowels e and a, and the letter n are omitted.

• Minggu, which means Sunday is clipped into mgg. The vowels i and

• Jangan, which means not is clipped into jgn. The vowel a and the letter n is placed before letter g are omitted.

• Belakang, which means backside is clipped into blkg. The vowels a

and e, and the letter n are omitted.

The special preference that we can see in the nine examples in the sixth type of clipping is the letter n placed before the letter g which is combined will have the voice [éng] is always omitted.

• Untuk, which means for is clipped into utk. The vowel u placed

before the letter k and n are omitted.

The seventh type of clipping that omits the vowel representation is the most popular type of clipping that the sender of SMS text use. It is the omission of the vowel representation.

• Sudah, which means end is clipped into sdh. The letter u and a are omitted. • Cabang, which means line is clipped into cbng. The letter a is omitted. The seventh type of clipping is the popular type used by the users of SMS (Short Message Service) communication because they just omit all vowel representation in these words.

Therefore, there are seven kinds of clipping : clipping the first syllable/s, clipping of the end syllable/s, clipping of the first syllable/s and the end syllable/s, clipping the middle part of the word, clipping the end syllable and omitting the vowel representation, omitting the middle of the syllable and the vowel representation and omitting the vowel representation.

The most popular type of clipping is omitting vowel representation, it takes 51 expressions in SMS (Short Message Service) texts. The second type of clipping is omitting the middle part of syllable/s and vowel representation. It occurs 9 expressions in SMS texts. The third type of clipping is clipping the end of syllable/s. It takes 5 expressions in SMS texts. The fourth type of clipping is clipping of the first syllable/s. It occurs 4 expressions in SMS texts. The fifth type of clipping is clipping the middle part of the word. It occurs 6 expressions in SMS texts. Finally, there are two type of clipping, which occur one expression for each type. There are clipping of the first syllables and the end syllables and clipping the end syllables and omitting vowel representation.

4.5 The Process of Miscellaneous

Another process of forming new words besides the common type of word formation processes according to George Yule’s theory in his book study of language is a certain process of forming new expressions by using certain numbers, symbols and letters to represent words, which are pronounced alike.

4.6 The Process of Multiple processes

We have concentrated on each of these word formation processes in isolation, it is possible to trace the operation of more than one process at work in the creation of a particular word.

A.Multiple processes (Clipping and Borrowing)

The explanation in George Yule’s theory about word formation processe says that it is possible to trace the operation of more than one process at work in the creation of a particular word. On SMS communication as the data which are analyzed, the writer finds some multiple processes. The first creation of particular words in multiple processes is clipping and borrowing. Clipping is the element of reduction. This occurs when a word of more than one syllable is reduced to a shorter form, often in casual speech. Then, borrowing is the taking over of words from other languages.

This chapter presents the findings and discussions, where the writer will present the findings and their discussions. This chapter is the most important and significant part of the whole study, because all the research questions are answered through the finding and discussions.

The Writer has found the mostly used word formation process and other processes and the writer showed the grade of word formation processes in the table below.

Type of Word

Formation Processes Examples N N%

Clipping Bw, dtg, sdh, msi, lat 77 52 % Multiple processes Gud, B’day, MU, TQ 30 20 %

Borrowing Happy, Year, Hope 33 22 %

Acronyms RS, CV, M, EO 4 3 %

Miscellaneous 2, 4, + 3 2 %

Blending Ultah 1 1 %

To discuss the finding above, the writer classifies into 6 parts. She discusses 6 type of word formation processes that appear in the thirty SMS texts on writer’s mobile phone. The type of word formation that will be discusses are borrowing, blending, clipping, acronyms, derivations, miscellaneous and multiple processes, which means a combination of two or more types of word formation processes.

In the text on SMS (Short Message Service), the predominant type that is mostly used by the users of SMS (Short Message Service) communication is clipping. Clipping takes the largest part, we can see clipping has 52% of all types of word formation processes.

The second place is the type of borrowing and Multiple processes. The writer finds 20% and 20% of the SMS expressions, which go through the process of multiple processes.

The third place is the type of acronym and miscellaneous. The type of acronym is 3% and miscellaneous take 2% of the whole type. The last type is blending, it takes only 1%.

After analyzing the word formation processes on SMS (Short Message Service), she finds that the predominant type of word formation processes that the users of SMS communication used is clipping. Clipping is easier to be understood because it omits only some letters of the word. The multiple process is the second predominant type of word formation processes that are used by the users of SMS (Short Message Service) communication.

On SMS (Short Message Service) text, the users of SMS communication mostly used the clipping of the omission of the vowel representation. For example: in

waktu (time) is clipped into wkt, tahun(year) is clipped into thn and so on. The other characters of this type is the omission of the end of the word, for example in the expression latihan (training/exercising) is clipped into lat. The end of the word

latihan is clipped because the readers can know what is the end of the word of lat. As the use of SMS (Short Message Service) communication can move fast to send and receive the message. The users of SMS (Short Message Service) communication usually type the message in mobile phone using SMS communication. Knowing the characteristics of SMS communication has only limited screen, may contain three or more lines, which may be one of the reason why the users of SMS communication usually use the expressions of clipping and borrowing.

There may be three reasons why the users of SMS (Short Message Service) communication use expressions borrowed from English in writing the SMS text because some English expressions are shorter than Indonesian expressions. For example : the users will write saya (in Indonesia language) replaced by the word of I

[aI](in English) because the writing of word saya is longer than the word of I (saya). Then, the users of SMS communication will choose to write I than saya. Second, many users of SMS communication are students of English department so they often use English in writing SMS text . Third, English has become a second language and most Indonesian people has used English expressions in writing messages in SMS text.

The reasons why the users of SMS (Short Message Service) communication choose to write tahu → tau, lihat → liat and terus → trus and use the type of clipping than others word formation processes because the space of SMS (Short Message Service) screen is limited so the users write the shorter expression than writing in complete letters. Second, the users wrote three expressions as the users pronounced each expressions. For example, when Indonesian people pronounced

tahu expression, the letter h is not pronounced. It will be different, when Indonesian people want to pronounce tahu which means a speciality of Indonesian food, indonesian people will pronounce tahu expression in complete letters or the letter h

is also pronounced.

The writer also gives an exception if there are words “Kembang kumbang kambing kembung”. These words cannot be clipped into “kmbg kmbg kmbg kmbg” or we cannot use the seventh type of clipping which omits all vowel representation in these words because the reader would not understand what the sender’s mean. Then, the sender must write completely as “Kembang kumbang kambing kembung”.

5. CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

5.1 Conclusions

After analyzing the data, some conclusions are drawn as the following : The process of word formation on short message service text undergo a process of semantic among others, affixes, prefixes and suffixes. SMS (Short Message Service) worked on the text way, based on transmission system. Process of semantic was covered the elements of short message service become mutual services. Therefore, word formation process stay in program on mobile phone are realized through the short message service.

The writer concludes that there are 77 (52% )clipping expression, 30 multiple processes, 33 borrowing expressions, 4 acronym expressions, 3 miscellaneous expression, and 1 blending expression. The percent of SMS communication use in multiple processes is 20% and borrowing is 22%, the total percent of word formation process in acronym is 3% and miscellaneous is 2% and blending produces 1 expression (1%).

5.2 Suggestions

After doing the conclusions above, some suggestions can be stated as follows:

a. It is suggested that the short messages service not independent of linguistic. For student should be established a habit to know the elements of linguistic how stayed in short message service.

b. For the reader, if want to know the function of short message service, should be to know that short message service text is undergo the word formation processes.
