2 Infix
A letter or group of letter which are attached within another morpheme is called infix. According to Yule 2006:58, infix is an affix that is incorporated
inside another word. 3
Suffix It is called suffix when a letter or group of letter attached to the end of
another morpheme Akmajian, 2004:18. For example: -ize in words such as modernize, equalize, centralize.
2.2.6 Concept of Meaning
Bloomfield 1976:135 defines meaning as the situation in which the speaker utters it and the response which it calls forth in the hearer. It is the thing
or idea that a sound, word, sign, etc. represents Hornby, 2010 Form and meaning dont match or parallel each other. The relationship
between them is mostly arbitrary. Theres nothing about the sound or shape of the English word cheese or for that matter the Italian word formaggio that inevitably
link them to this meaning. Meaning changes accordingly, both over time and situation. The Old
English word sælig meant fortunate, but that word, now pronounced silly, means something quite different. This also applied in jargon and other language
variety. In usual situation, the word ‗tissue‘ means a piece of soft paper, but in
occasional situation in medical field, it means collection of cell that different parts of human, animal and plants Hornby, 2010
2.3 Theoretical Framework
There two theories applied in this study, those are a theory of word formation proposed by Yule 2006 and theory that talks about kind of meaning
proposed by Louw 1991.
2.3.1 Word Formation
Yule 2006: 52 states that people can quickly understand a new word in their language and its modification in different form. This can happen because
there are so many regularities in word formation processes in our language. According to Yule, there are some words formations:
1 Coinage
One of the least common processes of word formation in English is coinage, that is, the invention of totally new terms. Familiar recent examples are Kleenex,
Nylon and Xerox, which also began as invented trade names, and which have quickly become everyday words in the language.
2 Borrowing
One of the most common sources of new words in English is the process simply labeled borrowing, that is, the taking over of words from other language.
Throughout its history, English language has adopted a vast number of loan words from other languages, including alcohol Arab, boss Dutch etc. Others
languages borrow terms from English too, such as in Japanese, rajio radio.
