coinage or word manufacture is commonly found in a name of products or brands. Some examples of coinage are Kodak, Xerox, Nylon, and Dacron.
l. Eponyms
Fromkin, Rodman, and Hyams 2003 define eponyms as ―words derived
from proper names and are another of the many creative ways that the vocabulary of a language expands‖ p. 98. O‘Grady and de Guzman 2010 mention some
words which are the examples of eponyms. For instances, the word Watt from James Watt and Fahrenheit from Gabriel Fahrenheit. Zapata 2007 also adds
some examples of eponyms: Ohm from George Simon Ohm, sandwich from the 4th Earl of Sandwich, and Picasso from Pablo Picasso. It can be seen that
eponyms are usually used to name a term in science by taking the name of its inventor, such as in the words Watt, Fahrenheit, and Ohm.
m. Internal Change
According to O‘Grady and de Guzman 2010, internal change is ―a
process of substituting one non-morphemic segment for another to mark a grammat
ical contrast‖ p. 135. Internal change can happen in some nouns and verbs in English. Some examples of internal change in nouns are found in
singular-plural form, such as foot singular to feet plural, goose singular to geese plural, and man singular to men plural. On the other hand, some
examples of internal change in verbs are found in present-past form, such as sing present to sang past, give present to gave past, and swim present to swam
past. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

n. Suppletion
O‘Grady and de Guzman 2010 define suppletion as ―a morphological process that replaces a morpheme by an entirely different morpheme in order to
indicate grammatical contrast‖ p. 136. The common examples of suppletion in English are went, as the past form of the verb go, and was and were, as the past
form of the verb be. The present forms of the verb be: is, am, and are, are also the examples of suppletion. The word her, as the possessive adjective of pronoun she,
and the word better and best, as the comparative and superlative forms of the word good, are also the examples of suppletion.
