allomorph. In morphology, the term affixation is common in use when the suffixation is the main discussion of the study. In this study, morphological
approach is used to identify the verb forms which can be nominalized by suffix – ion
. Then, the verb forms can be analyzed by the types of nominalization process. Phonology is the part of linguistics which studies the sound pattern and the
systematic phonetic variation found in language O’Grady and Et al, 2005: 57. Phonological approach is suitable to be used to analyze the seven types of
morphophonemic processes and the phonological rules. In this study, morphological approach and phonological approach are the primary approaches
because the writer formulates the problem concerning the nominalization process and the distribution and the morphophonemic processes. In addition, the writer
will relate the morphophonemic processes with the notation rules. The notation rules are also applied in the analysis of every step of morphophonemic processes.
Morphophonemic processes are the combination of two processes, namely morphological and phonological processes.
C. Method of the Study
This part is divided into two sub-parts, the first part explained the ways which are used by the writer to collect the data. The second part explained the
process to analyze the data based on the problem formulation.
1. Data Collection
In this part the writer collected the data taken from Oxford Advance Learner’s Dictionary.
The dictionary is used to find the words that end with suffix –ion
: verb into noun. Besides, it is also used to find the definition and the phonetic
transcription. The instrument of this study is a dictionary because there are so many words attached by suffix –ion in a dictionary which is completed with the
phonetic transcription. It will help the writer to choose and to analyze the data. On the other hand, the writer wants to focus on Oxford Advance Learner’s Dictionary
because the writer will find it easier to organize the data. The writer collected the data only from one dictionary because it is enough
as the data to represent the words from every letter or character in dictionary. The writer picked 5 relevant data per each alphabet from Oxford Advance Learner’s
Dictionary because they could represent all the finding of the analysis in this
study. The amount of the data should be 130 words to be analyzed if the writer picked 5 words per each letter. The writer decided only 5 words per each alphabet
because all the verb forms had been included. Verb form is a base form which has function as a verb and it can get the attachment process of affixation. The writer
selected the words based on the base form which were typically the verbs. The writer also adds the origin of the words having suffix –ion as additional
information because the noun of suffix –ion is derived from Latin via French. The function of those data is a verb into a noun. The examples of the data are as
follows: Abbreviate V
Abbreviation N
Confess V
Confession N Deduct V
Deduction N
Expedite V
Expedition N Formalize V
Formalization N
Legalize V
Legalization N
2. Data Analysis
Several steps are found out by the writer to analyze the data and answer the problem formulation in the first chapter. First, the writer collected the words
based on free and bound morpheme. The morpheme has function as a verb that can be nominalized by suffix –ion. The second step is to identifying the verb
forms as the data using the type of nominalization process so the writer will know that the verb forms can be nominalized by suffix –ion directly or not.
After that, we can find the seven types of morphophonemic process. The third step analyzed the data using the seven types of morphophonemic processes
which occurs after the nominalization process. The last step applied the notation rules in the analysis of the seven types of morphophonemic processes.
