The second formulated problem analyzes the function of the suffix {-ful}. The first step is to identify the words having the suffix {-ful}. The next step is to
make a classification of each base based on the lexical category. By doing this classification, the researcher discovers the change of lexical category before and
after the suffix {-ful} is attached to the bases. From this classification, the researcher is able to determine the functions of the suffix {-ful} and the
characteristics of the bases receiving the suffix {-ful}. Lastly, the International Phonetic Alphabet IPA is applied to answer the
third formulated problem. At this step, the researcher decides to use the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English Ninth Edition 2015 because
this dictionary provides the standard IPA. The researcher uses the IPA to know the phonetic transcription and the pronunciation of each word. It is helpful for the
analysis of morphophonemic processes to know what pattern which occurs. There are two classification analyzed. The first one is the IPA of the words having the
suffix {-ful}. The second one is the IPA of its bases. The categorization aims to show the morphophonemic processes in the suffixation of the suffix {-ful} by
analyzing the words with the suffix {-ful}. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

CHAPTER IV ANALYSIS RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
In this chapter, three formulated problems are discussed. Chapter IV contains the analysis and the results of the three formulated problems. The first
formulated problem is the bases to which suffix {-ful} can be attached to, the second is the functions of the suffix {-ful}, and the third is how the
morphophonemic processes of the suffix {-ful} occur. After collecting the data, the researcher concludes that the suffix {-ful} makes a new word with a new
meaning. The suffix {-ful} is used to change a word from one grammatical class to another. In other words, the suffix {-ful} usually changes the lexical category.
Therefore, the suffix {-ful} is characterized as a derivational suffix.
In answering the first formulated problem, the researcher uses The COMPLETE SHORT STORIES of Ernest Hemingway and Oxford Advanced
Learner’s Dictionary of Current English Ninth Edition 2015. However, the researcher chooses The COMPLETE SHORT STORIES of Ernest Hemingway as
the main source to collect the words. In order to examine the second and the third formulated problem, the
researcher decides to use Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current
English Ninth Edition 2015 because this dictionary provides the Standard English. Besides, it is used to analyze the data by finding the phonetic
transcriptions and the functions of the bases. Then, the researcher finds the lexical category of the bases. Besides, the researcher also analyzes the distribution of the
22
suffix {-ful}. However, in the result of data, there are some bases that have more than one lexical category. Concerning those data, the researcher can identify the
function of the suffix {-ful} by seeing the lexical category of each base and its alteration after the suffix {-ful} is added. In answering the third formulated
problem, the researcher applies International Phonetics Alphabet symbol in order to examine the base of the suffix {-ful}.
A. The Bases Receiving the Suffix {-ful}
1. Lexical Category of the Base
From the whole content of the short stories, the researcher discovers that there are two hundred and sixty nine words ending with the suffix {-ful}.
However, after the calculation process, the researcher actually finds out only forty two words receiving the suffix {-ful} because the others words are only repeat
words of the words already exist. All those forty two words are the primary data of this research.
All the bases in this study are categorized as a free morpheme because they can stand on their own. Thus, all bases receiving the suffix {-ful} are
considered as a free morpheme. The suffix {-ful} should attaches to a free morpheme because the suffix {-ful} cannot stand alone. Cartair-McCarthy 2002:
137 states that “-ful most always attaches to free bases”. A Lexical category is known as part of speech. In addition, the term
lexical category is also similar to the more traditional term word class and lexical class. Lexical category is sometimes used for the major parts of speech such as
