have heads, it will be difficult for the hearers and readers to identify the meaning. Dealing with this issue, it is essential to provide contexts since it can be used as a
clue to identify the source words and henceforth the meaning of resulting blends. To sum up, the essential finding from this research is that blending is said to
be one of the simple ways to enrich the vocabulary of English since itmerely uses the existing words. Accordingly, the analysis of blends should deal with the
analysis of morphology and phonology simultaneously, henceforth prosodic morphology. It is due to the fact that the combination of two or more words in
blends is sometimes morphologically acceptable, but phonologically violated. The huge number of blends in this research in their written forms has been taken from
mass media and social media. In this regard, people would be awkward to pronounce blends they are not familiar with and even they have never heard
before. Therefore, it is essential to analyze blends for the sake of pronunciation. Despite their unique characteristic, it is essential to treat blends as other
“common‟ words which have undergone some restrictions in all their linguistics aspects especially in the word manufacturing. Furthermore, a blend will be
regarded as an English word due to their appropriateness to the English language and their usage in the actual speech. When a certain blend is used widely among
English speaker, it will be familiar to the English speaker and automatically it will be added to the lexicon of people. The more familiar they become, the more
accepted they are as other “common” words.
B. Recommendations
The scope of this research is that it uses blends taken from seven online dictionaries. Besides, the analysis covers complex linguistics aspects such as
morphology, semantic, and phonology. During the implementation, there are some limitations that the researcher makes. Therefore, the researcher is willing to
give two recommendations for future research. Firstly, in the process of collecting the data, the present researcher found many blends which combined more than
two words, frequently three words. As stated in the Literature Review of this present study, blends are formed by combining two or more words and deleting
parts of them. Nevertheless, the present researcher only focuses on two-word blends in this study. It would be a comprehensive research if blends which consist
of three or more words are also analyzed. It is because there must be some considerations that people combine three words into one word. Secondly, this
study has not covered the discussion of secondary stress in blends. It would be interesting for future researchers to analyze the correspondence of the secondary
stress in blends all together.
