“Bhagavad-gita” and the process of English words added by derivational suffixes in “Bhagavad-gita”. The data are analysed based on theories of how
new words are formed as derivations in morphology.
5.1 Research Method
In making a scientific writing, a methodology is the important factor that should be used as guide by researcher. It is a set of procedures in the systematic
study that are applied within a discipline. Methodology consist of the data source, the method and technique of collecting data, method and technique of analysing
data, and method and technique of presenting analysis.
5.1.1 Data Source
In this research, Bhagavad-gitaAs It Is by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is used as the data source. It is published by The Bhaktivedanta Book
Trust, Mumbai and printed at Rekha Printers in 1972. It is a Vedic religious book
that tells about the Hindu epic Mahabharata, a dialogue between prince Arjuna
and his charioteer Krishna. Bhagavad-Gita is published in many languages including English, Sanskrit, French, Indonesian, Spanish, and many other
languages. It is popular book in whole of world. The content of the book is very interesting because it describes about moral and how to know Personality of
Godhead and in the content of this book, there are many derivational morphemes form new word can be found so it is relevant to the topic of the study.
5.1.2 Method and Technique of Collecting Data
The data in this study are collected by using method of documentation. Documentation method is the use of outside sources, documents, to support the
viewpoint or argument of an academic work. The collecting of the English suffixes in “Bhagavad-gita” is done with following steps. First, some texts of
chapter one are selected randomly from book “Bhagavad-gita”. Second, all selected texts are read intensively. Third, finding and taking notes of the related
data.
5.1.3 Method and Technique of Analysing Data
The data are analyzed qualitatively based on theory of “word formation”
in morphology stated by Katamba 1993 and Bauer 1983 to analyse the derivation words that is found in the texts. All the data are classified based on the
kinds of the derivational suffix. The analysis are continued by analyzing the derivational process.
5.1.4 Method and Technique of Presenting Analysis
This study used descriptive method in presenting the analysis. First, in order to answer the first problem,
the theory of “word formation” will be applied to determine the kinds of derived words that are formed by derivational process.
Finally, in the second problem, process of the derivational suffixes are showed through morphological description. They are shown in bold, italic, and underline
forms. As a result, the readers can understand it easily.
