Data Collection Method of the Study

word category of resulting blends followed afterwards. Taking duralumin durable x aluminium shown in number 5 as the example, duralumin was considered as a noun since it referred to a durable aluminium in which it had aluminium as the head. More specifically, the source words which made up duralumin were durable as an adjective and aluminium as a noun. Therefore, what written in the third column of this blend was [A N]N. The fourth, fifth, and sixth column presented the stress of source words and resulting blends. The fourth and fifth columns presented the stress placement of the first source word and second source word in blends. Meanwhile, the sixth column showed the stress placement of resulting blends. For example, it was written in number 9 Table 3.1 that the blend plumcot combined plum and apricot. The stress placement of plum was put in the fourth column as in ‘plum, ‘apricot in the fifth column, and ‘plumcot in the sixth column. The seventh column of Table 3.1 showed the semantic category of blends. It varied depending on the meaning relations among the source words in blends. They might belong to endocentric blends, copulative blends, appositional blends, or exocentric blends. Hereafter, these four categories were shortened for a practical reason. Therefore, they were shortened as EN, COP, APP, and EXO as the representation of endocentric, copulative, appositional, and exocentric blends. As seen in Table 3.1, biathlete biathlon x athlete belonged to EN, Chermany China x Germany COP, desknote desktop x notebook APP, and photopia photo x utopia EXO. More detailed explanation was presented in the semantic analysis of this section.

First and second analyses were said to be morphological analyses, while third and fourth analyses were said to be prosodic morphology and semantic, respectively. The following paragraphs present details of each analysis. The first analysis was a morphological analysis. It aimed at examining blending patterns observed in English blends. This research combined blending patterns proposed by Algeo 1977 as cited in Hong 2004 and Lehler 2007. The design of classifying blends based on combining patterns in this research was shown in the following Table 3.2. It presented the way the researcher classified blends based on their patterns. The division of blends into contiguous and noncontiguous blends wa s taken from Algeo‟s work 1977, cited in Hong 2004. In addition, the classification of blends into three categories such as blends with overlapping, blends with clipping, and blends with clipping and overlapping was also taken from Algeo‟s work. Moreover, it also used Lehler‟s work 2007 in classifying blends based on the number of splinters.
