Tree Diagrams Theory English Orthography

15 Besides rightmost morpheme theory, there is compounding theory. The contribution of this theory is answering the first problem formulation which is about the exocentric compounding that the writer found. Exocentric compounding itself is produced from two words which are exist and have different meaning and the gather together and become exocentric compounding. It has only a part of speech and one meaning from those two words. Then there is morphological operation theory that is divided into two main types: inflection and derivation. The contribution of this theory helps the writer to classify those words that have double morpheme. Inflection does not change the syntactic category of the words, while derivation causes a change in syntactic category of the words Spencer, 1991: 9. There is also tree diagram theory. This approach helps the reader to define the head of the exocentric compounding and it can be useful to define the inflected words or even the derivation words. The last one from morphology is derivational and inflectional theory. This theory helps the writer to conclude whether the word is an inflectional or derivational word, because there are some words that have double morpheme. The second theory is theory of meaning. The contribution of this theory is helping the writer to conclude the exocentric and endocentric meaning of each word. It does not depend only on the electronic dictionary, but this theory helps enough. Concluding the part of speech also use this theory, which is this word is a noun or an adjective or a verb. 16 In the theory of meaning, there is endocentric and exocentric theory. These theories are used to differentiate between endocentric and exocentric meaning in each word that the writer found in this undergraduate thesis. The third theory is the theory of the writing in exocentric compounding. This approach tells the reader that compounds are not consistent since they are written as single words, or with an intervening hyphen, or as separate word sometimes. There is an important generalization to be made in terms of pronunciation Anastasya, 2013: 1. Then thereis English orthography theory which is divided into two parts; prominent stress, and tense and plural markers. This theory’s contribution is to help the reader to conclude that it is an adjective- noun A- N compounds. This theory is answering the problem formulation of number two about morphological process. By knowing the prominent stress and tense and plural markers, the reader knows how to divide the morphological process in some exocentric compounding words. 17

CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY

A. Object of the Study

The data that the writer uses are taken from Oxford dictionary from the Internet; they come from the new entry words in May 2014-2015. The writer takes 54 words as the data. The words that the writer takes are the exocentric compounding which consistsof at least 2 words. This research relates to the morphology scope because the data are about the exocentric compounding which relates to the word formation.

B. Approach of the Study

The approach that the writer uses is morphology scope. Morphology talks about the structure of words. The data that the writer uses, the exocentric compounding from theOxford dictionary in the Internet,will be analyzed into the part of speech of those words, which are the use and function of the words. The parts of speech that existarenoun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection Daniel,1995: 1.

C. Method of the Study

The data collection of this undergraduate thesis is found by searching the exocentric compounding from the Oxford dictionary from the Internetin 2014- 2015.As mentioned before by the writer the reason why the data is taken from electronic Oxford dictionary is because in the printed Oxford dictionary the 18 exocentric compounding is difficult to be found because exocentric compounding that the writer takes consists of two words. The data analysis starts from the first problem formulation which is asking about what words that include as the exocentric compounding as the data of this undergraduate thesis are. The writer would like tofind the data from the electronic Oxford dictionary in 2014-2015. After that, the writer would like analyze each exocentric compounding word that have been found by finding the part of speech of each exocentric compounding word. Then, the writer tries to analyze the morphological process of each exocentric compounding word. The last is the writer makes the conclusion about the finding.
