n. Suppletion

O‘Grady and de Guzman 2010 define suppletion as ―a morphological process that replaces a morpheme by an entirely different morpheme in order to indicate grammatical contrast‖ p. 136. The common examples of suppletion in English are went, as the past form of the verb go, and was and were, as the past form of the verb be. The present forms of the verb be: is, am, and are, are also the examples of suppletion. The word her, as the possessive adjective of pronoun she, and the word better and best, as the comparative and superlative forms of the word good, are also the examples of suppletion.

o. Reduplication

O‘Grady and de Guzman 2010 explain that reduplication is ―a process of repeating all or part of the base to which it applies to mark a grammatical or semantic contrast‖ p. 137. Another language, such as Indonesian, has some words that are formed by reduplication to form plural nouns. The examples are anak-anak children, buku-buku books, and kucing-kucing cats.

B. Theoretical Framework

This section outlines the theories to solve the research question of this research. The research question is ―how do the minor word formation processes happen in The Hunger Games trilogy novels?‖ To answer the research question, the researcher uses the theory proposed by O‘Grady and de Guzman 2010. In the theory, O‘Grady and de Guzman 2010 classify seven minor word formation processes. The processes are cliticization, conversion, clipping, blends, 20 backformation, acronyms, and onomatopoeia. However, conversion is not analyzed in this research. Related to the theory, this research aims to study the words that are formed by those six minor processes and their word origin.

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter describes the methodology used by the researcher to conduct this research. This chapter also outlines the method of this research and the technique in gathering and analyzing the data. Therefore, this chapter is divided into four sections: 1 the research method, 2 the sources of data 3 the instruments and data gathering technique, and 4 the data analysis technique.

A. Research Method

This research described the word formation processes happen in The Hunger Games trilogy novels. To conduct this research, the researcher used document analysis or content analysis in order to analyze the data. Ary, Jacobs, and Sorensen 2010 explain that ―content analysis focuses on analyzing and interpreting recorded material to learn about human behavior. ‖ Furthermore, Ary, et al. 2010 state that ―the material may be public records, textbooks, letters, films, tapes, diaries, themes, reports, or other documents ‖ p. 29. Therefore, from the definition, this research used document analysis as the research method to analyze the data since it focused on analyzing the novels as the recorded material. In addition, Fraenkel, Wallen, and Hyun 2015 define content analysis as ―a technique that enables researchers to study human behavior in an indirect way, through an analysis of their communications –many things which are produced by human beings ‖ p. 476. This research analyzed the processes to form the words in
