naming process by Eugene A. Nida. The result of the analysis is blend and compound are commonly used in the name Music Festival and the appropriate
theory for analyzing the component meaning is naming type. Meanwhile, the writer herself chooses word formation and
componential analysis as two issues to be discussed in this thesis. The focus of the research is on analyzing the process of blend words of foodimals in
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatball 2 film, component meaning of the blend words and those meaning based on context of the film. The theories that the
writer used are the concept of word formation proposed by Ingo Plag and Componential Analysis with naming process by Eugene A. Nida.
The differences among the writer’s thesis and the two previous theses are the corpus of the research used to obtain the data for the analysis. Laila
Afifa uses dictionary and Alif Ramadhani uses music festival names, while the writer uses film. The focus of their thesis are all of types of the word
formation and component meaning, while the writer focuses on blend words, component meanings and the meaning of the words in relation to the context
of the film. Moreover, technique of componential analysis the writer used in
analyzing in this research is naming technique that is different from Laila Afifah. The difference between the writer and Alif Ramadhani is in this
research the writer exposing the meaning of the blend words of foodimals using the context of the film.
B. Concept 1. Morphology
Morphology is the study of the internal structure of words, and the rules by which words are formed.
8
Kentjono defines morphology is “A study concerned about internal structure of grammatical word, hence
morphology commonly called the order of word or grammar form.” It means that morphology is concerned withthe internal structure of the
word.
9
McCarthy defines morphology as the scope of grammar concerned with the structure of words and relationship between words involving the
morphemes that compose them.
10
In this term, morphology does not only exposethe structure of words but also the structure of morphemes as the
basic unit of analysis.
2. Morpheme
The linguistic term for the most elemental unit of grammatical form is morpheme.
11
The definition of morpheme based on Stageberg is a short segment of language that has three criteria such as: 1 It is a word or
a part of a word that has meaning. 2 It cannot be divided into smaller meaningful parts without violation of its meaning or without meaningless
remainders. 3 It recurs in differing verbal environments with a relatively

stable meaning.
12
It means that a morpheme can be a meaningful single word or a piece of word. Second, a morpheme is meaningless if it is
divided into smaller parts. Last, morpheme has a stable meaning even in the different verbal occasion.
Morpheme is classified into two types, they are, free and bound morpheme. Free morpheme is morphemes that can stand by themselves as
a single word, for example, open and tour. Bound morpheme is a morpheme that cannot normally stand alone and is typically attached to
another form, such as re-, -ist, -ed, and –s.
13
Free morpheme can come alone as a single word and it has own meaning without adding other
morphemes. Moreover, bound morpheme cannot come alone as a single word and need to add by other morphemes to be a meaningful word.
3. Word Formation Process a. Affixation
Plag defines affix as a bound morpheme that attaches to bases.
14
An affix can be possessed in the beginning or the end of a base. Affix that appears in the beginning of base is prefixes such as un- and mis-, while
affix that appears in the end of the base is suffixes such as –less and
