CHAPTER IV CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
A. Conclusions
Semantic field is a group of words that are related because they are from the same area of knowledge or interest. In the study of it, lexicon is the focus of
the study. This study states that lexicon in every language is all lexemes words system which related with meaning, and can be restructured as phoneme in
grammatical study and a lexeme is an abstract unit of morphological analysis in linguistics, that roughly corresponds to a set of words that are different forms of
the same word. The research data are lexemes in the semantic field in the health text of
the Jakarta Post newspaper. The data are analyzed by using the componential analysis theory a basic study of lexical field in determining semantic relations of
different lexical components in one lexical field. It also can be used to define the senses of lexical items in dictionary making. The sense of a lexical item is the
composition of semantic components. Such composition of semantic components can be analyzed into its component part. The theory is used to identity
components of meaning containing simultaneous semantic reaction. Positive semantic reaction + means “presence of or „yes‟”, negative semantic reaction -

means “absence of or „not‟”, positivenegative semantic reaction +- means that a component is both, „can be yes‟ or „can be not at all‟.
On the basis of such components, lexemes are then classified into some features of semantic field that make on the table form.
On the basis of analysis that found on the health text in the Jakarta post, there are 6 semantic fields namely, the semantic field of medical treatment, the
liquid of body, medical center, chronic illnesses, healthy occupation, and medicine. Those semantic fields are classified into lexemes that occur on the
every text. Many lexemes of those semantic fields have a relation each other such as synonym and class inclusion superordinat.
