ABSTRACT

Cinta Laswarna Berutu. Noun Formation in Pakpak Language. A Thesis.
English Department Faculty of Language and Arts. State University of
Medan 2015.
This study deals with Noun Formation in Pakpak Language. The
objectives of this study are to find and describethe noun formation in Pakpak
language. The method of this research is library research by reading some books
related to this study, this research was conducted by descriptive qualitative
research method. The data of this research are taken from two sources,namely:
from Folklore written in Pakpak language and from short story written in Pakpak
language. The technique of analyzing data is documentary technique, the
researcher used Hockett and Robin theory which is developed by Kridalaksana to
analyze the data and found that there are four types of affixation used in folklore
and short story written in Pakpak language. The four typesof affixation are: (1).
prefix (19, 19%), (2). infix (10,10%), (3). suffix (36, 36%), (4). confix (34, 34%).
Noun formation in Pakpak language not only caused by attached an affix but also
by reduplication process, the researcher found that there are five types of

reduplication used in folklore and short story in Pakpak language, they are:
reduplication of a whole basic form, reduplication which is basically just
repeating the root, reduplication which is change the phoneme (phoneme
variation), reduplication through the process of adding affixes and compound
reduplication. The researcher also found the rules of morphophonemic used in
Pakpak language, phonological assimilation and phonological addition. The result
is there are four types of affixation in forming noun in Pakpak language.
Key words: Noun formation, morphology, affixation, Pakpak language

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

A. Conclusion
From the analysis result and data analysis can be conclude that:
1. Noun formation in Pakpak language formed through morphology process
where the process is from affixation based on Adjective root and Verb
root, kinds of affixation which attached in Pakpak language are: prefix,
infix, suffix and confix. From fourth kinds of affixation, suffix is the most
productive in form noun in Pakpak language it is affix en- (suffix has one
allomorph only) with percentage 36, 36% it means that in written text, the
writer mostly narrate affix en- in forming noun. Affix which is slightly
appearing in Pakpak language is infix –in (10, 10%).
2. There are two processes of forming noun in Pakpak language, the first
process is affixation process which has explained above and the second
process is reduplication. After analyzed the data written in Pakpak
language, found that there are 5 (five) kinds of reduplication process in
forming noun in Pakpak language, they are: Reduplication of a whole
basic form, Reduplication which is basically just repeating the root (base
form of the word), Reduplication which is change the phoneme or the
repetition through phoneme variation, Reduplication through the process
of adding affixes and Compound reduplication.
3. In Pakpak language especially in folklore and short story written in Pakpak
language, found two rules of morphophonemic in forming noun, they are

4. : phonological alternation (assimilation) and phonological addition
(insertion).

B. Suggestion
1. Traditional language needs to be maintain because the traditional language
is one of national assets
2. The research is the best way to know whether the traditional language is
still alive or not. So, another researcher suggested to search more about
their traditional language and developed them also keep them alive.
3. The research of traditional language has a function to know more about the
function of the language, what is the characteristics of the language and
how is their position. Pakpak language as the one of assets of Indonesia
needs to develop more to make sure that the language is not extinct. So,
the researcher hopes that later on there are another researcher who wants to
keep Pakpak language alive through their research about Pakpak language
