Theory of Meaning Derivational and Inflectional Theory

15 Besides rightmost morpheme theory, there is compounding theory. The contribution of this theory is answering the first problem formulation which is about the exocentric compounding that the writer found. Exocentric compounding itself is produced from two words which are exist and have different meaning and the gather together and become exocentric compounding. It has only a part of speech and one meaning from those two words. Then there is morphological operation theory that is divided into two main types: inflection and derivation. The contribution of this theory helps the writer to classify those words that have double morpheme. Inflection does not change the syntactic category of the words, while derivation causes a change in syntactic category of the words Spencer, 1991: 9. There is also tree diagram theory. This approach helps the reader to define the head of the exocentric compounding and it can be useful to define the inflected words or even the derivation words. The last one from morphology is derivational and inflectional theory. This theory helps the writer to conclude whether the word is an inflectional or derivational word, because there are some words that have double morpheme. The second theory is theory of meaning. The contribution of this theory is helping the writer to conclude the exocentric and endocentric meaning of each word. It does not depend only on the electronic dictionary, but this theory helps enough. Concluding the part of speech also use this theory, which is this word is a noun or an adjective or a verb. 16 In the theory of meaning, there is endocentric and exocentric theory. These theories are used to differentiate between endocentric and exocentric meaning in each word that the writer found in this undergraduate thesis. The third theory is the theory of the writing in exocentric compounding. This approach tells the reader that compounds are not consistent since they are written as single words, or with an intervening hyphen, or as separate word sometimes. There is an important generalization to be made in terms of pronunciation Anastasya, 2013: 1. Then thereis English orthography theory which is divided into two parts; prominent stress, and tense and plural markers. This theory’s contribution is to help the reader to conclude that it is an adjective- noun A- N compounds. This theory is answering the problem formulation of number two about morphological process. By knowing the prominent stress and tense and plural markers, the reader knows how to divide the morphological process in some exocentric compounding words.
