ation in the noun derivation. This condition is also applicable to the verbs explain
and inform which ends in nasal consonants n,m. So, suffix –ion can change to other form or allomorph –ation in the nouns explanation and information.
B. The Process of Nominalization by Suffix –ion
This part explains about the process of nominalization of the verb form after getting suffixation process. The process of nominalization is divided into three
processes. They are insertion, replacement, and simple affixation.
1. Insertion
Insertion is the process which the word is inserted by the letter before suffix – ion
. The insertion process of suffix –ion occurs in verbs which end in –ize and fricative
v, nasal m and n in the process of suffixation. First, the insertion occurs in the verbs which end in –ize, this condition can be
represented in the attachments below: Authorize + -ion
Authorization
’ɔ:θə raɪz ɔ:θə raɪ’zeɪ∫
n Canalize + -ion
Canalization
’kænə laɪz ,kænə laɪ’zeɪ∫
n Familiarize + -ion
Familiarization
fə ’mɪliə raɪz fə ,mɪlieraɪ’zeɪ∫
n Globalize + -ion
Globalization
’glə ubə laɪz ,glə ubə laɪ’zeɪ∫
n
Harmonize + -ion
Harmonization ’hamə naɪz
,hamə naɪ’zeɪ∫ n
Hospitalize + -ion
Hospitalization ’hɒspɪtə laɪz
,hɒspɪtə laɪ’zeɪ∫ n
Liberalize + -ion
Liberalization ’lɪbrə laɪz
,lɪbrə laɪ’zeɪ∫ n
From those examples, the process can be formulated as follows:
Stem 1 + -ion Stem 2
Stem 1 are the verbs which ends in –ize but stem 2 are the result of the verbs after getting attachment process of suffix -ion and have function as nouns. The
words authorize, canalize, familiarize, globalize, harmonize, hospitalize, and liberalize
are inserted by the diphthong e
ɪ
, fricative ∫ and nasal n at the end of
the stem. The words authorization, canalization, familiarization, globalization, harmonization
, hospitalization, and liberalization are consisting of the root morphemes author, canal, familiar, global, harmony, hospital, and liberal and the
suffix –ize. Those words are not only the roots for the entire words but also the stems for –ize. The units authorize, canalize, familiarize, globalize, harmonize,
hospitalize, and liberalize are the stems for –ion.
The examples above can be seen in underlying form and phonetic representation:
’ɔ:θə raɪz
ɔ:θə raɪ’zeɪ∫ n
Underlying form ’ɔ:θə raɪz + ɪə n
Diphthong and Consonant insertion ɔ:θə raɪ’z-eɪ + ɪə n Phonetic form
[ɔ:θə raɪ’zeɪ∫ n]
’kænə laɪz
,kænə laɪ’zeɪ∫ n
Underlying form ’kænə laɪz + ɪə n
Diphthong and Consonant insertion ,kænə laɪ’z-eɪ + ɪə n Phonetic form
[,kænə laɪ’zeɪ∫ n]
fə ’mɪliə raɪz fə ,mɪliə raɪ’zeɪ∫
n
Underlying form fə ’mɪliə raɪz + ɪə n
Diphthong and Consonant insertion fə ,mɪliə raɪ’z-eɪ + ɪə n Phonetic form
[fə ,mɪliə raɪ’zeɪ∫ n]
’glə ubə laɪz
,glə ubə laɪ’zeɪ∫ n
Underlying form ’glə ubə laɪz + ɪə n
Diphthong and Consonant insertion ,glə ubə laɪ’z-eɪ + ɪə n Phonetic form
[,glə ubə laɪ’zeɪ∫ n]
Second, the insertion occurs in the verbs which end in fricative v and nasal m and n, this condition can be represented in the attachments below:
Acclaim + -ion Acclamation
ə ’kleɪm ,æklə ’meɪ∫
n
Derive + -ion
Derivation dɪ’raɪv
,derɪ’veɪ∫ n
Explain + -ion Explanation
ɪk’spleɪn ,eksplə ’neɪ∫
n From those examples, the process can be formulated as follows:
Stem 1 + -ion Stem 2
Stem 1 are the verbs which ends in fricative v and nasal m, n but stem 2 are the result of the verbs after getting attachment process of suffix -ion and have
function as nouns. This second insertion is different from the other one because in this process the words acclaim, derive, and explain in stem 1 are added by –ation at
the end of the stem 2 after the suffixation process. Besides, the vowels in the initial position and in the middle position changed into others vowel after getting the
suffixation process. For example, the word acclaim ə ’kleɪm becomes acclamation ,æklə ’meɪ∫
n, the vowel in the initial position changed from ə into æ and in the middle position changed from eɪ into ə after the suffixation process.
The words acclamation, derivation, and explanation are consisting the root morphemes acclaim, derive, and explain and the suffix –ion. So, those words are
not only the root for the entire words but also the stems for –ion. The examples above can be seen in underlying form and phonetic
representation: ə ’kleɪm
,æklə ’meɪ∫
n
Underlying form ə ’kleɪm + ɪə n
Diphthong and Consonant insertion ,æklə ’m-eɪ + ɪə n Phonetic form
[,æklə ’meɪ∫ n]
dɪ’raɪv
,derɪ’veɪ∫ n
Underlying form dɪ’raɪv + ɪə n
Diphthong and Consonant insertion ,derɪ’v-eɪ + ɪə n Phonetic form
[,derɪ’veɪ∫ n]
2. Replacement
