word not having the suffix {-ful} are not included to the data collection. The data collection uses sampling method. It means that in getting the sample data, the
researcher only collects all the words receiving the suffix {-ful} from The COMPLETE SHORT STORIES of Ernest Hemingway.
Based on the source, there are forty two words in which the suffix {-ful} attaches to those words. Meanwhile, Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of
Current English Ninth Edition 2015 is used as a tool to answer the formulated problems. The Oxford dictionary is needed because it provides the International
Phonetic Alphabet IPA to find the phonetic transcription. By using this dictionary, the researcher analyzes the phonological changes and lexical
categories of each word. In this study, the data collection uses the sampling method because the researcher only collects the words having the suffix {-ful}.
2. Data Analysis
In analyzing the data, the researcher does some following steps in order to answer the problems formulation. Firstly, the researcher only collects the data
from twenty five short stories in The COMPLETE SHORT STORIES of Ernest Hemingway. The data collection is the words having the suffix {-ful}. To reduce
errors in analyzing the base, the researcher uses the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English Ninth Edition 2015 as a tool to figure out the
bases of analyzed words having the suffix {-ful}. The Oxford dictionary also helps the researcher to check the IPA of the bases and the words receiving the
suffix {-ful}. Those bases are categorized based on their lexical categories, last letters, and last phonemes.

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
