CHAPTER II RIVEW OF LITERATURES, CONCEPTS AND
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
2.1 Literature Review
In this chapter, some previous researches are reviewed in order to get a deeper understanding in analysing derivational suffix in general. It is important to
reconsider several studies and undergraduate theses which had been written previously and correlated with the topic.
The first previous research was done by Devita 2009 entitled “The Derivational Suffix with Special Reference to Hemingway‟s The Old Man the
Sea ”. The aim of the research is to identify and analyse the function and meaning
of derivati onal suffixes, which are found in the Drama “The Old Man and The Sea
by Earnest Hemingway. The theory used is proposed by Katamba 1993 combined with the theory of derivation proposed by Bauer 1983. The analysis in
this thesis shows that there are many adjectives suffixes that were found in the novel entitled The Old Man the Sea
by Ernest Hemingway‟s. They are called as derived word because they are formed by derivational process.
The second previous research was done by Saputra 2011 entitled The Morp
hological Process on Adjective Formation in “The Washington Club A Cliff Hardy Novel” by Peter Corris. The aim of the research is to identify the types of
the morphological processes which occur in adjectives and describe the word
classes which can change into adjective through those processes are found in a novel “The Washington Club A Cliff Hardy Novel” and to explain the functions
of morphological process which occur in adjectives found in a novel. The theory used is proposed by Katamba 1993, McCarthy and Quirk 1993. According to
analyses can be can be concluded that there are two types of morphological processes in English adjective formation namely derivation and inflectional
process. The function of morphological process occur in adjective formation is to create new words by modifying the meaning of the base without changing its
grammatical category class maintaining or by modifying the meaning and the grammatical category of the base class changing.
Third previous research was done by Tanjung 2015 entitled “Morphological Process of Derivational Noun in Mahligai Magazine”. The aims
of the study are to find types of morphological process occurring in noun in the magazine entitled Mahligai and to analyse the functions of morphological
processes depending on its type. The theory used is proposed by Matthew 1991. According to analyses, the result of this study is the types of morphological
process and English nouns word which added trough derivational process change the meaning of word and change the class of some words.
The journal was done by Musakarentitled Processes of Derivational Affixes of Lamaholot Language Mostly Used in East Solor Sub
– District East Flores Regency. The aim of the article is to report the processes of derivational
affixes of Lamaholot language spoken by community in East Solor sub district. The theory used is proposed by Haspelmath 2002: 1 dealing with internal
