This chapter presents background to the study, research questions, objectives, significance to knowledge and framework of the theories.

1.1Background to the Study

In communication, it is important that information and concepts are conveyed correctly to avoid misunderstanding. Language is a tool for communicating these concepts through words, phrases, and sentences. To make these concepts understood similarly between the people using the language, agreement on what word represents what concept is essential. Metaphorically, when a baby was born, the parents will give a name to the baby. Over time, the name is identified as representing that particular baby. The same is true for new words in a language. The concept, which represents a particular human’s experience, is named and agreed by the language users, and the name, or word, is identified as representing that concept or the new things. As stated by Booji in The Grammar of Words, ‘The main reason for changing the lexical norm of a language is that language users need expressions for new concepts, or new things.” (2005: 275). Hence, new words are created to label new concepts. These new words may be originated from existing words, albeit with new interpretation or modification due to the dynamic use of language among the users.

The word ‘Selfie’ is discussed as an example. It is morphologically formed by combining two bound morphemes, morpheme ‘self’ and morpheme ‘–ie’through a process identified as an affixation process. Semantically, the morphemes ‘self’ and ‘ -ie’, respectively, mean the entire person of an individual and one belonging to. These two morphemes are combined into a new word. However, the meaning of this new word is different from the meaning of its original morphemes. Therefore, a change of meaning occurs from the original meaning of ‘the entire person of an individual’ and ‘one belonging to’ to ‘a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically taken with smartphone or webcam and shared it via social media’ as defined in the Online Oxford English dictionary.

The word ‘Selfie’ was never used in English daily conversation before the 21th century. Oxford Dictionary Blog stated that the word ‘Selfie’ first appeared in Australia in 2002 but it was not popular at that time. With the advances in capturing images using cameras, especially with the availibility of high quality camera in mobile phones, more people become familiar with the word ‘Selfie’. People use it to refer to pictures taken by themselves. Jude Pearsall, an editor for Oxford Dictionary, said that ‘Selfie’ became popular because of social media such as Flickr. The word ‘Selfie’ is then accepted and commonly used by english-speaking people. Related to the recent updates oxforddictionaries.com, this word was officially listed in Online Oxford English Dictionary in August 2013.

According to the discussion of the word ‘selfie‘ above, it can be assumed that a new word cannot be formed for granted. All happens with a certain reason. Reaching the goal, there are several processes used in its formation, such as compounding, shortenings, borrowing, back formation, conversion, and inventing, and affixation, as proposed by Brinton (2002) and Finegan (2008).

Related to this research, there are several researchers who also have conducted research on word formation. The first research entitled ‘The Study of English Word Formation in American Comic Strip: Superman vs The Amazing Spiderman and Batman vs the Incredible Hulk’ was conducted by Tri Rahmiati (2012), a student of UPI Bandung. The second research is ‘An Analysis of Word Formation Used in Twilight Novel by Stephanie Meyer and Twilight Movie’ conducted by a student of Universitas Sriwijaya, Melisa Nova Nanda (2013). Both researchers have focused on the word formation only. In order to make this research different, analysis of the origin of word and meaning properties are included.

1.2Research Questions

Based on the explanation in the background to the study above, the research questions in this research can be formulated as follows:

1. What processes of word formations are identified in the data? 2. What meanings in each morpheme are identified in the data? 3. What histories of words are found in the data?


(9)

1.3Objectives

In order to answer the research questions above, the objectives will be as the follows:

1. To identify the process of word formation in the data.

2. To describe the element of morphology involves in the word formation. 3. To describe the history of words involved in the data.

1.4Significance to Knowledge

This research has some purposes, theoretically and practically. Theoretically, it is expected that this research provides a brief explanation and knowledge to readers about how a new word is formed and how to look into the origin and the meaning properties of words. Practically, the readers can understand the meaning of the word without opening dictionary and can help the readers try to form new words by using the processes in word formation to express a new activity.

1.5Framework of the Theories

Several theories are used to analyze the data, starting from the theories of word formation process by Brinton (2002) as the grand theory to Finegan (2008) as the supporting theory. Brinton (2000: 85) stated “English has a number of means by which morphs combine or are altered to form new words”. In order to form a new


(10)

word, several processes are involved, namely derivation process, reduplication, conversion or functional shift, compound, blends, back formations, shortenings, and idioms.

In order to make the explanation clear, the theory of Finegan (2006) is used as the supporting theory. Finegan’s theory proposes, “in some societies, the needed for new nouns, adjectives, and verb arises frequently, and addition to these categories occur freely. For these reason nouns, adjectives, and verbs are called open classes.’ (2008: 46). According to the statement, it can be understood that the word formation is derived from an open class through some processes. Adding to Brinton’s theory, Finegan (2006: 50-51) mentioned other processes to create a new word. Those are semantic shift process, borrowed words, and inventing words. Brinton’s and Finegan’s theories are used to analyze the process of word formation morphologically.

This research does not only analyze the process of word formation morphologically, but also covers the issue when the change of word meaning is involved. The change of meaning can be discovered using the universal concept of Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM), which is explained by Godard and Wierzbicka (2007). This theory is used to analyze the meaning properties of the new word by using componential analysis.

In addition to the analysis of word formation morphologically and semantically, the new word is also analyzed in terms of its history. The history of the word can be


(11)

analyzed by looking at the followings: who invents the new word, when the new word was initially formed, and why the new word appeared. In the relation of history’s elements, Liberman’s theory (2008) is used as the etymological approach. This theory is used to find out the elements of history in the data found.


(12)

7 2.1 Etymology

Etymology is a term deals with history or origin of words. As dictionary.cambridge.org stated, “Etymology is the study of the origin and history of words, or a study of this type relating to particular word‖. With this study, how a word is formed or adapted as well as the origin of a word can be identified. Wedgwoodi (2009: i) also stated, ―etymology is the study to know the earliest meaning of a word and what are the cognate forms either in our own or in related languages.‖ It assumed that etymology is focused on analyzing the earliest meaning or the history of words and identifying whether a newly formed word adapted from other language still has the same meaning or whether the meaning has been modified in the process of formation.

After recognizing etymology as the study of the origin of words, it is apparent that etymology is a necessary tool to analyze data on new word formation in order to understand the overall process during the word formation. The focus of etymology in this research is only on new word formation.

2.1.1 Etymology of Word Formation

Many English is adapted from several languages. It is argued that English has many words with Latin, Greek, France, or Germanic origins. As Carstairs (2002:100)


(13)

stated, England was used West Germanic (Dutch, German, Frisian, and Afrikaans) as their language and less closely to the North Germanic languages (Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, and Faeroese). On the other hand, England was ruled by France for a long period. A monarch and nobility whose native language was a variety of French set French as a language of law and administration and expected people of England to learn French. Thus, it affected England to speak French. That is the fact why it is not surprising if English vocabulary contains of many languages. English also has affixes borrowed in other languages such as Germanic, Latin, Greek or Romance. For example:-ish, -ed, -en, -er, -hood are Germanic affixes and –ion, ant, -ess, -ist are Romance or Greek affixes.

Related to the paragraph above, etymology is closely related to word formation, because every word formed has its own history. For example, when the word is formed by adding prefixes or suffixes, the meaning can be understood by seeking the history of each morpheme. Carstairs (2002: 100) suggested ―in derivational morphology, history sheds light particular on the distribution of free and bound roots and on the differences in productivity.‖ Related to the theory, this research will focus on analyzing etymology in the distribution of free and bound morpheme in the data.

Through etymology, the meaning or origin of the data is identified and specific information about them is sought. To add to the clarity of this research clearer, further steps were taken to analyze the data by adding morphological and semantic analysis.


(14)

Morphology is used to analyze the process of the word formation whereas semantics is used to discover the particular meaning of the data.

2.2 Morphology

The study of words structure is morphology. As Katamba (1993: 19) stated “morphology is the study of words structure.‖ Morphology is always related to the structure of words. Besides talking about the words structure, this study also discusses about the formation of words. As stated by Aronoff “in linguistics morphology refers to the mental system involved in word formation or to the branch of linguistics that deals with words, their internal structure and how they are formed.” Based on the theory, it is explained that the morphology concerns about internal structure of words and also in the formation of word. .

The words have internal structure such as morpheme. The Morpheme is a smaller element of words. It is stated by Brinton (2002: 75), “the morpheme is not necessarily equivalent to a word, but may be a smaller unit.‖ Some morphemes can stand alone as a word and some cannot. The morpheme that can stand alone as a word is called as free morpheme. As Katamba (1993: 41) stated, “a free morpheme is one that can stand on its own –that is, it‘s an entire word.‖ The free morpheme has a full meaning without linking to other morpheme such as body, book, run, and bottle. Whereas, bound morpheme is a morpheme that cannot stand alone as word. Katamba (1993: 41) mentioned that “A bound morpheme cannot stand on its own, but rather must be attached to a free morpheme.‖ The bound morpheme is the morpheme that


(15)

has to link to free morpheme to give function or characteristic the free morpheme. In order to combine both morphemes, it cannot be combined for granted. There is a process behind that and it is called word formation process.

2.2.1 Word Formation

As stated by Plag (2001:12), ―words that are obviously composed by putting together smaller elements to form larger words with more complex meanings.‖ It is implied that in creating a new word, smaller elements are combined to create the new words with complex meanings and sometimes there is a change in its meaning and word class.

In order to create the new words, there are some processes in word formation such as affixation, shortenings (clipping, initialsm, and acronym), borrowing, conversion or functional shift, inventing, and compounding

2.2.1.1 Affixation

Affixation is a common process to create new words, as proposed by Finegan (2008: 46). This process is creating new word by adding some morpheme into existing words through prefixes and suffixes. From the process, the meaning and/or the word class of the formed word may be changed. Brinton (2002: 86) stated the addition of derivational affix to a root produces a new word with one or more of the changes such as a phonological change (including stress change), a semantic change, and a change in word class. When prefixes un-, pre-, and dis-, for example, are


(16)

combined with free morpheme, they may give the opposite meaning and change in word class, but sometimes there is no change in class word; untrue (verb to adjective), unpopular (adjective to adjective), premix (verb to n), prewash (verb to noun), disappear (verb to verb), and disapprove (verb to verb).

Different from prefixes, suffixes may not describe the opposite meaning of the free morphem. Brinton (2002: 87) argued, “suffixes have two functions: to change the meaning of the root and to change the part of speech.‖ It is said when a new word is formed by adding suffix into a free morpheme, it changes meaning or the part of speech. For example, when suffix –ment is added to a verb agree and aggreement, it change the verbs into nouns, agreement and arrangement.

2.2.1.2 Shortenings

Shortening is a process of creating a new word by removing part of a word and it is divided into three parts, those are, acronym, initialism, and clipping.

a. Acronym

Acronym is the initial letters in a group of word and pronounced as a word. As Finegan (2008: 48) said ―acronym is shortenings in which the initial letters of an expression are joined and pronounced as a word‖. For example: NATO  North Atlantic Treaty Organization

AIDS  Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome RADAR  RAdio Detecting And Ranging


(17)

b. Initialism

Initialism is the initial letters in a group of word and pronounced as a sequence of letters. For example:

NYU  New York University UK  United Kingdom

USA  United State of America

c. Clipping

Brinton (2002: 98) said ―clipping is the result of deliberately dropping part of a word, usually either the end or the beginning, or less often both, while retaining the same meaning and same word class.‖ This process is creating a new word by removing the parts of a word, it can be removing the beginning part of a word, removing the end part of a word or removing the beginning – end part of a word. For example:

Beginning: this part is creating new words by removing the beginning part of a word.

Burger  Hamburger Phone  Telephone

End: this part is creating new words by removing the end part of a word. Fan  Fanatic


(18)

Beginning and End: this part is creating new words by removing the beginning and the end part of a word.

Flu  Influenza Fridge  Refrigerator

2.2.1.3 Compounding

Compounding is a process of creating a new word with combined two or more free roots. As stated by Brinton (2002: 93) “a compound is a combination of two or

more free roots‖. As followings: Homeland - land which is one’s home

Homemade - something which is made at home Homebody - someone who stays at home Homestead - a place which is a home Homework - work which is done at home Homerun - a run to home

Homemaker - a person who makes (cares for) the home

2.2.1.4 Blending

The blending process is the combination of compound and clipping process. As Brinton (2002: 97) said, “a blend process involves two process of word formation, compounding and clipping.‖ This process usually creates a new word by removing the end part of the first word and removing the beginning part of the second word


(19)

resulting in a new word, the combination of the two free roots. Concerning about it, Brinton (2002: 97) mentioned “two free words are combined and blended, usually by clipping off the end of the first word and the beginning of the second word.‖ For example:

Sm (oke) + (F) og > Smog Mo (tor) + (ho) tel > Motel Spr (ay) + (tw) ig > Spring

2.2.1.5 Conversion or Functional Shift

Conversion or functional shift is creating a new word without adding or removing element of word, but this process is creating a new word with changing the part of speech or the function of the word so it will appear new sense in the word. Brinton (2002: 91) argued, “a functional shift is the conversion of one part of speech to another without the addition of a suffix.‖ Finegan (2008: 49) also said ―in some language, a word belonging to one category can be converted to another category without any changes to the form of the word.‖ As Following:

I clean my room.

A word clean in the sentence above has a function as a predicate or verb. My room is clean.

Different with the example before, a word clean in the sentence above has a function as an adjective.


(20)

2.2.1.6 Inventing Words

This process is creating a new word by using a popular brand, place, or name of popular person. Finegan (2008: 52) stated that ―inventing words from scratch is not common. The advantages of using familiar elements in forming new words and the ease of borrowing from other languages make inventing new words rare.‖ For example, people who use internet now commonly use the word google.

She is googling to search the information about Bandung.

2.2.1.7 Borrowing

This is a process of creating a new word with borrowing a word from another language. Finegan stated that:

In turn, many languages have welcomed English words into their stock, although some cultures resist borrowings. The Japanese have drafted the words beesubooru ‗baseball‘, futtobooru ‗football‘ and booringu

‗bowling‘ along with the sports they name, trading them for judo, jujitsu, and karate, which have joined the English-language team (2008: 52).

The theory above shows that in borrowing a word from another language it usually changes their utterance or writing, but still it has a same meaning

2.2 Semantics

Semantics is the study of meaning. As Palmer (1976:1) stated that ―semantics is the technical term used to refer to the study of meaning.‖ It technically talks about the meaning of the word. This study provides the ideas to seek the meaning of the


(21)

data by breaking down it into smaller semantic components using NSM (Natural Semantic Metalanguage) approach suggested by Goddard. Goddard (2007:459) argued, ―The Natural Semantic Metalanguage is a decompositional system of meaning representation based on empirically established universal semantic primes, i.e., simple indefinable meanings which appear to be present as word-meanings in all

language‖.

This is the semantic primes, grouped into related categories.

 Substantives: I, YOU, SOMEONE, SOMETHING/THING, PEOPLE, BODY

 Relational substantives: KIND, PART

 Determiners: THIS, THE SAME, OTHER/ELSE  Quantifiers: ONE, TWO, MUCH/MANY, SOME, ALL  Evaluators: GOOD, BAD

 Descriptors: BIG, SMALL

 Mental predicates: THINK, KNOW, WANT, FEEL, SEE, HEAR  Speech: SAY, WORDS, TRUE

 Actions, events, movement, contact: DO, HAPPEN, MOVE,TOUCH  Location, existence, possession, specification: BE (SOMEWHERE), BE/EXIST, HAVE, BE (SOMEONE/SOMETHING)

 Life and death: LIVE, DIE


(22)

TIME, FOR SOME TIME, MOMENT/IN ONE MOMENT

 Space: WHERE/PLACE, HERE, ABOVE, BELOW, NEAR, FAR, SIDE, INSIDE

 Logical concepts: NOT, MAYBE, CAN, BECAUSE, IF  Intensifier, augmentor: VERY, MORE

 Similarity: LIKE/AS

Here the definition of children using NSM as an example: Children

• people of one kind

• people of this kind have lived for a short time, not a long time • because of this, their bodies are small

• when people are like this, they can do some things, they can’t do many other things • because of this, if other people don’t do some good things for them, bad things can

happen to them

• all people are like this for some time before they can be not like this

In order to analyze the data, the writer decided to use NSM (Natural Semantic Metalanguage) approach. This approach is assumed compatible for seeking the meanings in smaller semantic elements.

This chapter explains about the object, the method, and the way data are collected and analyzed.

3.1 Research Object

The topic under discussion is word formation. According to Plag (2002: 12), word formation is ‘words that are obviously composed by putting together smaller elements to form larger words with more complex meanings’. In this research, the writer focused on analyzing the processes used and the history of the new words by aiming to know the factors origin of the new words. NSM (Natural Semantic Metalanguage) is also used to analyze the meaning of the new words.

For this research, the data are collected from online Oxford English dictionary as the main source of the research data. This particular online dictionary is chosen because it contains a lot of relevant data. To make more specific, the data taken only new words listed in available months of 2014.

3.2 Research Method


(24)

Penelitian kualitatif adalah tradisi tertentu dalam ilmu pengetahuan sosial yang secara fundamental bergantung pada pengamatan manusia dalam kawasannya sendiri dan memiliki ciri-ciri seperti latar alamiah, manusia sebagai alat, teori dasar, deskriptif lebih mementingkan proses daripada hasil dan adanya batas yang ditentukan oleh fokus.

By referring to that definition, this research is qualified as a qualitative research as it uses human as an instrument to discover and observe phenomena by applying his knowledge in his field. The grand theory used to discover and observe the phenomena of word formation is Brinton’s theory.

The method used in this qualitative research is the analytic descriptive approach as this approach matches the objective of the study, as stated by Sugiyono (2007: 14), ―digunakan untuk menganalisa data dengan cara mendeskripsikan atau menggambarkan data yang telah terkumpul sebagaimana adanya.” Thus, the data are analyzed and described in their nature by applying grand and supporting theories mentioned earlier.

3.2.1 Data Collection

Data were collected in this study through several steps. First, before taking the data, several theories are used to analyze the data. Second, oxforddictionaries.com was selected as the main source to get the necessary data. Third, the data were taken from the new words listed in the available months of 2014. There are seventy new words found in the data source. However, only twenty of seventy data were analyzed, because some of them have the similar type. Fourth, the data, then, were classified


(25)

into words and phrases. To make the analysis more focus, it was decided that only words were analyzed in this research. Finally, the data were analyzed morphologically by analyzing the process of word formation, semantically by analyzing the meaning properties of each morpheme, and etymologically by seeking the history of the words to know where and when the word first appeared and developed.

3.2.2 Data Analysis

The collected and classified data were analyzed through several steps. First, the new words were examined based on the process of the formation. Then, the new words were analyzed to identify the processes used in forming them. After identifying the process of formation, the meaning of the new words was analyzed and the origin of the new words was studied, including when the new words first appeared and what factors influence the concept of meaning. Lastly, the new words were analyzed based on the meaning of each morphemes using NSM (Natural Semantic Metalanguage) to reveal changes in meaning, if any. When a change in meaning was found, a closer look to the elements was performed to identify the elements that are removed and/or maintained.

Some theories are used to analyze the data. The morphological analysis was performed based on the theories of Brinton (2000) and Finegan (2008). In NSM (Natural Semantic Metalanguage) analysis, theory of Godard and Wierzbicka (2007)


(26)

was used. Theory of Liberman (2008) was used to discover the history of the new words.


(27)

This chapter describes the analysis of word formation found in Online Oxford English Dictionary. There are some processes in word formation; derivation, reduplication, conversion or functional shift, compound, blends, back formation, shortenings, borrowing. Here are the data analyses.

4.1 Word Formation with Affixation Process

Derivation process (also called affixation process) is argued as a common way of creating new words. This process is identified as creating a new word by adding some bound morpheme, prefixes and/or suffixes, to free morpheme.

Data 1

‗Particular streets in New York might be redesign, creating ‗walkable and

bikeable streets‘.

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/bikeable

Bikeable. This new word is identified as an adjective derived from a verb bike. It consists of free morpheme [bike(v)] and bound morpheme -[–ablesuffix(adj)]. This free morpheme means ride a bicycle or motorcycle. This word historically is abbreviation from bicycle. It first appeared in late 19th century coined from bi- which means two + Greek kyklos which means circle or wheel. On the other hand, the bound morpheme


(28)

aims to give characteristic to the verb to form adjective meaning; capable of. This morpheme first appeared in Late Middle English and it was originated from Old French 14th century, that is, hable. The description may be illustrated by the following figure.

[Bikeable(adj)]

[Bike(v)] [-ablesuffix(adj)] This figure initiates that meaning properties (meaning features) cover,

[ACTIVITY OF RIDING] + [TOOLS WITH TWO AND CIRCLE WHEELS] +

[CAPABLE OF]

Since the activity of this ‘riding’ involves the concepts of [PLACE] and [MOUNTAIN] as a result in the way in which this activity has been done, the meaning properties for bikeable are:

[ACTIVITY OF RIDING] + [TOOLS WITH TWO AND CIRCLE WHEELS] + [CAPABLE OF] + [PLACE] + [MOUNTAIN]

Thus, the concept of bikeable is defined as an environment suitable or safe for cyclist. In the recent updates oxforddictionaries.com, this new word listed in May 2014.

Data 2

‗I would love to see something more ―snacky‖ on the appetizers menu to go

with drinks whilst sitting at the bar.‘


(29)

Snacky. This new word is identified as an adjective derived from a noun snack. It consists of free morpheme [snack(n)] - a small quantity of food or a light meal and bound morpheme [–ysuffix(adj)] aims to give characteristic to the noun to form adjective meaning; having quality of. This free morpheme [snack(n)] first appeared in Middle English 1680’s and it was originated from Middle Dutch 1300’s that is, snacken. Meanwhile, the bound morpheme –y was originated from Germanic that is –ig which has the same meaning. The description may be illustrated by the following figure.

[Snacky(adj)] [snack(n)] [-ysufix(adj)]

This figure initiates the description of following meaning properties. [A LIGHT MEAL OR A SMALL QUANTITY OF FOOD]

+

[HAVING QUALITY OF]

Since the concept of [A LIGHT MEAL OR A SMALL QUANTITY OF FOOD] + [HAVING QUALITY OF] are added with the concept of [DENOTING OR RELATING TO] and [FOOD SUITABLE FOR EATING BETWEEN MEALS] as a result in the time when this kind of food is consumed, the meaning properties for snacky are:

[A LIGHT MEAL OR A SMALL QUANTITY OF FOOD] + [HAVING QUALITY OF] + [FOOD SUITABLE FOR EATING BETWEEN MEALS]


(30)

Thus, the concept of snacky is defined as denoting or relating to food suitable for eating between meals or as a light, casual meal. In the recent updates oxforddictionaries.com, this new word in May 2014.

Data 3

‗If an enemy defender gets destroyed, he will be respwnedafter 20 seconds.‘

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/respawn

Respawn. This new word is identified as a verb derived from a verb spawn. It consists of bound morpheme [re-prefix(v)] and free morpheme [spawn(v)]. Bound morpheme [re-prefix(v)] aims to give repetition to the verb to form verb meaning; a repetitive of a word. It first appeared in Middle English and origin from Latin re- or red-; back or again. Free morpheme [spawn(v)] means an action to produce or generate something. It was originated from Latin expandere; expand Old French espandre; pour out and Anglo Norman French espaundre; to shed roe. The description may be illustrated by the following figure.

[Respawn(verb)] [re-prefix(v)] [spawn(v)]

This figure initiates that meaning properties (meaning features) cover, [REPETITIVE OF A WORD]

+


(31)

Since the concept of [REPETITIVE OF A WORD] + [ACTION] + [PRODUCE OR GENERATE SOMETHNG] are added with the concept of [GAMERS] + [CHARACTER IN VIDEO GAME] + [REAPPEAR AFTER BEEN KILLED] as a result in the time when the character in video game can be back to the game after being killed because still has another life, the meaning properties for respawn are:

[ACTION] + [PRODUCE OR GENERATE SOMETHNG] + [GAMERS] + [CHARACTER IN VIDEO GAME] + [REAPPEAR AFTER BEEN KILLED]

Thus, the concept of respwan is defined as reappear after having been killed. This new word added into Online Oxford English Dictionary in December 2014.

Data 4

‗When the hexacopter arrived at their location, it would hover in place.‘ http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/hexacopter

Hexacopter. This new word is identified as a noun derived from a noun copter. It consists of bound morpheme [hexa-prefix(n)] and free morpheme [copter(n)]. This bound morpheme [hexa-prefix(n)] aims to give element six to the noun to form noun meaning and it was originated from Greek hex; six. Respectively, free morpheme [copter(n)] historically is informal from helicopter; a type of aircraft deriving both lift and propulsion from one or two sets of horizontally revolving rotors and capable of moving vertically and horizontally. This free morpheme first appeared in late 19th century and it was originated from French that is helicoptere, from Greek


(32)

helix; spiral + pteron; wing. The description may be illustrated by the following figure.

[Hexacopter(n)]

[hexa-prefix(n)] [copter(n)]

This figure initiates that meaning properties (meaning features) cover, [ELEMENT HAVING SIX ANGLE]

+

[TOOL/INSTRUMENT] + [AIRCRAFT] + [MOVING VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY] Since the concept of [ELEMENT HAVING SIX ANGLE] + [TOOL/INSTRUMENT] + [AIRCRAFT] + [MOVING VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY] are added with the concept of [HAVING SIX ROTORS] as a result in the time when the helicopter has six rotors, the meaning properties for hexacopter are:

[TOOL/INSTRUMENT] + [AIRCRAFT] + [MOVING VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY] + [HAVING SIX ROTORS]

Thus, the concept of hexacopter is defined as an unmanned helicopter having six rotors. In the recent updates oxforddictionaries.com, this new word listed in August 2014.

4.2 Word Formation with Compound process

This category explained the data of compound process. Compound process is a combination of two or more free roots or disposition for putting words together to create new words.


(33)

Data 5

‗Supporters of Obamacare point out that private health insurance was hardly

perfect before 2010‘

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/Obamacare

Obamacare. This new word is categorized as a noun and formed by combining two free morphemes. It consists of free morpheme [Obama(n)] and free morpheme [care(n)]. [Obama(n)] is known as the name of 44th and current of the president of United States of America and the later is defined as the provision of what is necessary for the health, welfare, maintenance, and protection of someone or something.
