45 in the dictionary universe meant all existing matter and space considered as a
whole. In the HighEnd Teen e-magazine December edition on page 66, “Youniverse - Wardah’s Trend to Seek ..., together with Wardah they aspire to
inspire every woman to find their beauty and bring goodness and changes to the environment and the universe.” From those words, it could be concluded that the
meaning of Youniverse was the women’s beauty and goodness that could change the universe to be the better one. The last blend was Brangelina. It was the
combination of two names of Hollywood celebrities, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
2. The Types and the Formation of the English Blends in the HighEnd
Teen E-Magazine 2016 Editions
There were some researchers, such as Algeo 1977, Lehrer 2007, and Fandrich 2008, who distinguished the types of blends differently. However, in
this research, the researcher analyzed the types of English blends into three types of blends according to Algeo 1977. Algeo 1977 distinguished the process of
blending based on how the words were formed. According to Algeo 1977, there were three types of blends, which were blends with phonemic overlap, blends
with clipping, and blends with clipping and overlapping. In this research, the researcher found the examples of those three types of blends.
a. Blends with Phonemic Overlap
The first type of blends was blends with phonemic overlap. In this type of blends, the base words of the blend were overlapping. According to Algeo 1977,
a syllable or part of a syllable was shared between two words. On the other words, PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
46 the overlapping could be happened at one phoneme or several. From the 32 blends
which were found in the HighEnd Teen e-magazines, there were 2 blends which represented blends with phonemic overlap. One example was the word
bloomingle, from the word bloom and mingle. Those two base words shared the same phoneme m in the last part of the word bloom and the first part of the word
mingle. The word bloomingle described something which was bloom and ready to
mingle. Another example was the word youniverse. The word you was
pronounced ju: and universe is pronounced ˈjuːnɪvəːs. Since they shared the
same phonemes ju: in you and in the first part of the word universe, the phonemes overlapped. In the magazine, the word youniverse related to the
exploration of women’s beauty which could change the universe.
b. Blends with Clipping
The second type of blends proposed by Algeo 1977 was blends with clipping. Clipping was also one of word formation processes. According to
Crystal 2003, clippings were the reductions of longer forms, usually removing the end of the word, sometimes the beginning, or both beginning and ending
together. After one or both of the base words was shortened, they were coined together. Blends with clipping had no overlapping.
In the HighEnd Teen e-magazines, the researcher found 23 of 32 blends which were included in this type of blends. These blends used various pattern of
clipping in the process of forming the blends, whether they used fore clipping or middle clipping, whether there was only one base word which was shortened or
both of the base words were shortened and after that coined together. According PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
47 to Algeo 1977, there were a number of different patterns with this type of
blends. First was blends were created by using the first part of the first word and the last part of the second word. Second was blends were created by using the
whole first word and the last part of the second word. Third was blends were created by using the first part of the first word and the whole second word. Fourth
was blends were created by using the last parts of two words. Fifth was blends were created by using the first parts of both the words.

Blends
In this type of blends, the first base word was clipped at the back and the second base word was clipped at the beginning. The examples were advertorial,
bit, vlog, Instamatic, brunch, rockabilly, clasp, splurge, vlogger, stash, and edutainment.
