ABSTRAK

Skripsi yang berjudul A Contrastive Analysis Between English and Minangka-baunese Prefixes. Dalam skripsi ini, penulis membandingkan prefix yang dile-katkan pada bentuk kata dasar dalam bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Minangkabau berdasarkan bentuk (form), distribution (distribution), fungsi (function) dan arti (meaning). Dalam menganalisis prefix pada kedua bahasa tersebut, penulis meng-gunakan metode analisis kontrastif yang mengolah data berupa prefix dalam baha-sa Inggris dan bahabaha-sa Minangkabau yang ditekankan pada pelekatan prefix, dite-mukan bahwa dari segi bentuk (form) prefix kedua bahasa tersebut sama (corres-pondences) yaitu ditemukan persamaan antara kedua bahasa sumber dan bahasa target yang terdapat pada keseluruhan prefiks. Dilihat dari segi distribusi (distri-bution) ditemukan bahwa prefiks kedua bahasa tersebut sebagian sama (partly-correspondences) yaitu terdapat persamaan pada prefiks re, co, mis, dalam bahasa Inggris dan prefiks ta, ma, pa dan ba dalam bahasa Minangkabau. Dilihat dari se-gi fungsi (function) bahwa kedua bahasa tersebut sebase-gian sama (partly-correspondences) yaitu terdapat persamaan pada prefiks re, en, un dan co dalam bahasa Inggris dan prefiks ba, ma, pa dan ta dalam bahasa Minangkabau. Dilihat dari segi arti (meaning) bahwa prefiks kedua bahasa tersebut sebagian sama (part-ly-correspondences) yaitu persamaan pada prefiks re, en, co dan hyper dalam ba-hasa Inggris dan prefiks sa, ma, pa dan ba dalam baba-hasa Minangkabau.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

1.1.The Background of the Analysis

One of Linguistic aspects concerns with language is contrastive analysis. Contrastive Analysis describes the similarities and differences of language aspects from two or more languages than are compared of analyze the correspondences and non correspondences between languages in contact aspects of language con-cerned at some or all expressions level.

Contrastive Analysis is attempts to analyze the correspondences and non correspondences between languages in contact, at some or all expression levels. The primary is the examination of systematic correspondences and non corres-pondences between aspects of language concerned (Analisis Kontrastif adalah suatu metode penganalisisan linguistik yang berusaha mendeskripsikan, membuk-tikan, dan menguraikan perbedaan atau persamaan aspek-aspek kebahasaan dari dua bahasa atau lebih yang dibandingkan) (Ridwan, 1996:3).

Contrastive Analysis is the methode of analysis where by the differences and the similarities of two more languages (or subsystem of language) are made explicit (Naibaho, 2006:1).

From the statement above, it means tat the main goal of Contrastive Anal-ysis is to find out what the differences and similarities in analyzing language. And in this occasion the writer would like to analyze prefixes in English and Minang-kabaunese language. Prefixes will be investigated through the form, distribution,

(7)

function and meaning held by the two languages. In addition, the similarities and differences would be seen wheter the affixes are correspondences, partly corres-pondences, or non-correspondences.

It has been known that prefixes are the types of affixes. “An Affix is a morpheme which only occurs when attached to other or morphemes such as a root or stem or base”. (Katamba 1993: 4).

Affix is categorized as bound morpheme because it can not stand alone and should be attached to the root or stem or base. It is also the same with prefix because it was said above that prefixes are the types of affix. Prefix is an affix that is added to the front of root or stem (Hartman, 1972 : 101)

An affix is a morpheme which only occurs when attached to some other morpheme such as root or stem or base. (Katamba, 1993:44)

The writer wants to analyze prefixes of English and Minangkabaunese language in terms of findings the similarities and the differences. These two fea-tures will be investigated in the aspect of the form, distribution, function, and meaning held by two languages. In addition, the similarities and differences would be seen wheter the affixes are correspondences, partly correspondences or non correspondences.

English and Minangkabaunese language absolutely come from different language families. Minangkabaunese language is one of regional language in In-donesia. Minangkabaunese language is native language of West Sumatera, Indo-nesia. Statistic of West Sumatera Regency 1978 mentions that Minangkabaunese lives in West Sumatera Regency between 0˚54 North Latitude and 98˚36 East

(8)

Longitude, and 101˚5 3 East Long itu d e, beside the North with North Su mate ra Regency, and beside the west with Indonesian Ocean.

The writer choose Minangkabaunese language to be analyzed because this language that contrast to English has differences, similarities in both languages and the other reason is the writer come from Minangkabaunese family. All or these points are taken in order to contrast English and Minangkabaunese language in prefixes. English language has been regarded as an international language and it is widely used in many text books and giving information in all over the world. So, English language is very important to studied in order promote Minangkabau-nese language in international world.

1.2. Scope of the Analsis

In this analysis the writer concentrates on the contrastive analysis between English and Minangkabaunese prefixes which concentrates in the aspect of form, distribution, function, meaning. The writer limited the analysis on several prefixes in English and Minangkabaunese language.

1.3. Problem of the Analysis

a. What are the kinds of Prefixes in English and Minangkabaunese language. b. How the forms, the functions, the meaning, the distribution between

(9)

1.4. Objectives of the Analysis

a. To find out the kinds of prefixes in English and Minangkabaunese lan-guage.

b. To Analyze the forms, the functions, the meanings, the distributions be-tween English and Minangkabaunese language.

1.5. Significance of the Analysis

The significance of this analysis are:

a. To find out the correspondences, partly-correspondences and non-correspondences from aspect of form, distribution, function and meaning. b. To give the readers and explanation about Contrastive Analysis between

English and Minangkabaunese in prefixes.

c. This Contrastive Analysis can be enrich the linguistics science.

1.6. Review of Related Literature.

In supporting the idea of the analysis, the writer has read thesis and book as the guidance which are relevant to the topic.

Mouren (2003), in his thesis entitled Prefixe between English and Batak Toba Language: A Contrastive Analysis. He analyzes the prefixes in both lan-guages from aspect of form, distribution, function, and meaning. Concludes he finally finds that there is correspondences in form, partly correspondences in dis-tribution, correspondences in function, and partly correspondences in meaning. The writers use this thesis as reference because there are similarities of what he

(10)

prefixes in different target language from the aspect of form, distribution, function and meaning in order to find out the correspondences, partly correspondences and non-correspondences.

Cristy (2004), in her thesis entitled Affixation in English and Palembang Malay Language: A Contrastive Analysis. She Analyzes the prefixes and suffixes in both language from the aspect of form, distribution, function and meaning. Af-ter analyzing she finally finds that prefixes in both language correspondences in form, partly correspondences in distributions, correspondences in function, and the prefixes in both language are non-correspondences in meaning. While the suf-fixes in both language correspondences in form, partly correspondences in distri-bution, correspondences in function and the suffixes in both language are non-correspondences in meaning. The writer uses this thesis as reference because there is a slight similarity with the writer analysis.

Krismayati (2008), in her thesis entitled “A Contrastive Analysis Of Noun Formations Between English And Indonesian Used In Jakarta Post And Suara Merdeka Newspapers”. She analyze to find the similarities and differences be-tween English and Indonesian Noun Formation. After analyzing she finally finds that the similarity of English and Indonesian noun formation is both English and Indonesian noun formation use suffix addition to form new noun. The differences between English and Indonesian noun formation is that English noun formation is formed by prefix, suffix, and confix addition, where as Indonesian Noun Forma-tion can be formed by prefix, infix, suffix, confix addiForma-tion.

CHAPTER II

THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK

2.1. A Brief Description of Contrastive Analysis

Contrastive Analysis is attempts to analyze the correspondences and non correspondences between languages in contact, at some or all expression levels. The primary is the examination of systematic correspondences and non correspondences between aspects of language concerned (Analisis Kontrastif ada-lah suatu metode penganalisisan linguistik yang berusaha mendeskripsikan, membuktikan, dan menguraikan perbedaan atau persamaan aspek-aspek kebaha-saan dari dua bahasa atau lebih yang dibandingkan) (Ridwan, 1998 : 8).

According to Ridwan (1998 : 8), the goals of contrastive analysis are:  To find out the correspondence

 To find out the partly – correspondence  To find out non – correspondence

Correspondence means that there are similarities found between the source and target language the writer analyzes. Partly correspondences means that there are some similarities between the source and target language, but not in whole part. While non – correspondence is there is no similarities found between the source and target language. (Mouren, 2004:10)

Related to the title that is “A Contrastive Analysis of Prefixes between English and Minangkabaunese Language”, there are four points that the writer

(12)

need to compare for analyzing the words which are attached by prefixes. They are: form, distribution, function, and meaning.

a. Form.

In form the writer will discuss about the change of the prefixes after being attached to the bases. It can be prefixes that attached to base form which start with vowel or consonant phoneme. Vowel phoneme is the vocal sounds made without audible stopping of the breath such as a, i, u, e, o”. While, Consonant is speech sound produced by abstracting of impending the passage of air at the same point in the vocal tract above glottis. There are 21 consonant letters in the written al-phabet b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t v, w, x y, z. In form the writer will analyze in vowel and consonant.

b. Distribution.

In distribution, the writer analyzes the distribution of the word classes con-sist verb, noun, adjective and numeral of the base form that can be attached with prefixes or not.

c. Function

In function, the writer discuss the process wheter the prefixes change of maintain the word-class category of the words after being attached to base form.

d. Meaning

The writer will discussed about the meaning of the words after the base form at-tached by prefixes with the purpose to analyze whether there is similar meaning or not between both two language.

(13)

2.2. Morphology

There are many definition of morphology that we can find in linguistic books. Each of them has different explanation, but of course this distinction not in its meaning the linguist has the same sense in describing morphology. To clarify about morphology the writer would mention some lingu ist idea about it.

Morphology is the study of how words are structured and how they are put together from smaller parts”. (Jannedy , 1994: 134).

Morphology includes the stock of segmental morphemes and the ways in which word are built out of them” (Hockett, 1958 :177).

All definitions above finally give a clear explanation that morphology is the study of the internal structure of words and of the rules by which words are formed. By morphology, we can analyze the most elemental unit of grammatical form which is called morpheme. Every word in every language is composed from one or more morphemes.

2.3. Morpheme and Word 2.3.1. Morpheme

Morphology emphasizes to morpheme cannot be ignored. Some defini-tions of morpheme ca be seen below:

Morpheme is a linguistic from which bears no partial phonetic-semantic resemblance to any other form, is a simple form or a morpheme (Bloomfield, 1993:161).

(14)

Morpheme is used to refer to the smallest, indivisible units of semantic content or grammatical function which words are made up of (Katamba, 1993: 60).

Morpheme is a minimal unit of meaning or grammatical function (Yule, 1985: 60).

The morpheme is the smallest deference in the shape of a wordk that cor-relates with the smallest difference in word or sentence meaning or in grammati-cal structure (Katamba, 1993:24).

English Language

Prefix Base form unhappy Minangkabau Language

Prefix Base form sabungkuih

So, from those quotations above it may conclude that morpheme is the mi-nimal distinctive unit of grammar, and the central of morphology.

According to Ridwan (1997: 75) classifies morpheme into 2 dimensions. They are:

 Bound morpheme is a morpheme that cannot stand alone. It must be at-tached to the base form. It has the meaning that related to grammatical meaning. It is always attached to other morpheme.

(15)

A morpheme may also be called an independent form and it has lexical meaning. Free morpheme is a morpheme that can stand alone. Free pheme cannot be broken down into smaller meaningful units, other mor-phemes such as affixes can be attached to it.

2.3.2. Word

Words are usually the easiest units to identify in the written language. In most languages, they are entities that have spaces on either side, a few languages use word dividers, and some do not separate words at all. It is more difficult to decide what words are in the stream of speech, especially in a language that has never been written down. But there problems even in language like English.

Certainly, it is possible to read a sentence a loud slowly, so that we can hear the spaces between the words, but his is an artificial exercise. In natural speech, pauses do not occur between each word, as can be seen from any acoustic record of the way people talk.

CHAPTER III

METHOD OF THE ANALYSIS

3.1 Research Method

In this thesis the writer applies contrastive analysis method. Contrastive Analysis is a method of linguistic analysis that tries to describe, prove, and ana-lyze the dissimilarities and similarities of audio-lingual aspects of two or more contrasted languages (“Analysis kontrastif adalah suatu metode penganalisisan linguistic yang berusaha mendiskripsikan, membuktikan, dan menguraikan per-bedaan atau persamaan aspek-aspek kebahasaan dari dua bahasa atau lebih yang dibandingkan”) (Ridwan 1998 : 8).

Since this analysis is involving two languages by doing contrastive analy-sis, therefore the writer applies is contrastive analysis by describing the prefixes which are attached to base form from the aspect of form, distribution, function and meaning between English and Minangkabaunese language and also contrasting them in order to find out the correspondences, partly correspondences and non-correspondences.

Dealing with the topic, the writer tries to carry out the library research in collecting all the relevant data from English and Minangkabaunese language. Li-brary research is the method, which is supplied by collecting data or information from references, which have been written, by linguist or other experts.

(17)

3.2. Data Collecting Method

The collecting data is very important. In this analysis, the writer analyzes English and Minangkabaunese languages in prefixes which are attached to base form from the aspect of form, distribution, function, and meaning. The writer col-lects some references which are related to this thesis. The book that the writer used for the data in Minangkabaunese language is Kamus Minang – Indonesia by H. Abdul Kadir Usman dt yang dipatuan et.al (2002) and the book that the writer used for the in English is Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary by A S Hornby (1995).

3.3. The Technique of Analyzing Data

In accomplishing the thesis, the writer does several steps, they are:

 Collecting the prefixes which are attached to the base form both in English and Minangkabaunese language.

 Selecting the data belongs to prefixes of English and Minangkabaunese language.

 Describing the prefixes which are attached to the base form both in Eng-lish and Minangkabaunese language in the aspect of form, distribution, function and meaning.

 Making the contrastive analysis of the data in aspect of form, distribution, function and meaning.

(43)

4.2 ANALYSIS

In this contrastive analysis, the writer chooses two languages. The first is English as the source of language and the second is Minangkabaunese as the target language. In this part the writer analyzes words which are attached by pre-fixes. They are: form, distribution, function and meaning.

4.2.1 Form

In this case the writer can divide prefixes that can be attached to base form by vowel and consonant.

 Prefixes that can be attached to base form to vowel phonemes. English Prefixes Minangkabaunese Prefixes • Prefix re-

re + adjust readjust ‘to adjust again’

• Prefix en-

en + able enable ‘not make able to do’

• Prefix un-

un + afraid unafraid ‘not afraid’ • Prefix co-

co + operate cooperate ‘work to-gether for a common purpose’

• Prefix mis-

• Prefix sa-

sa + ikek ‘bundle’ saikek ‘a bundle of’

• Prefix ta-

ta + atok ‘arrange’ taatok ‘regu-lated’

• Prefix ma-

ma + iciah ‘slice’ maiciah ‘to slice’ • Prefix pa –

pa + indiak ‘pound’ paindiak ‘pounder’

(44)

mis + use misuse ‘use in the wrong-ly’

• Prefix hyper

hyper- + active hyperactive ‘ex-cessively active’

• Prefix ba-

ba + urek ‘root’ baurek ‘have roots’

 Prefix that can be attached to the base form which beginning with conso-nant phonemes.

English Prefix Minangkabaunese Prefixes

• Prefix re-

re + write rewrite ‘to write again’ • Prefix en-

en + danger endanger ‘to put in danger’

• Prefix un-

un + belief unbelief ‘not belief’ • Prefix co-

• Prefix ma-

ma + masak ‘cook’ amasak ‘to cook’ • Prefix pa-

pa + tulih ‘write’ panulih ‘writer’

• Prefix ba-

ba + baju ‘dress’ babaju ‘to wear dress’

(45)

hyper + market hypermarket ‘very large shop’

So this contrastive analysis of form between prefixes in both language are correspondences because there are similarities between two languages that can be analyzed in the whole prefixes.

4.3.2 Distribution

In distribution, the writer analyzes what are the prefixes that can be at-tached to any words class: such as noun, verbs, adjective, and numeral in of each language (English and Minangkabaunese language).

 Prefixes that can be attached to the base form of noun

English Prefixes Minangkabaunese Prefixes • Prefix re-

re + cycle (N) recycle ‘to treat things can be used again’

• Prefix en-

en +core(N) encore ‘repeat perfor-mance’

co + operate (V) cooperate ‘to work together’

co + exist (V) coexist ‘exist at the same time’

• Prefix ta-

‘sweetener’ • Prefix ma-

ma- + leba (Adj)’wide’ maleba ‘be-come wide’

 Prefixes that can be attached to the base form of Numeral

English Prefixes Minangkabau Prefixes

There is no prefix that can be attached to the base form of numeral

• Prefix ba-

ba- + ribu (Num) ‘thousand’ baribu ‘sum of thousand’

ba- + ratuih (Num)’hundred’ bara-tuih ‘sum of hundred’

ba- + juta (Num)’billion’ bajuta ‘sum of billion.

So this contrastive analysis of Distribution between prefixes in both lan-guage are partly – correspondences because there just part of similar between English languages and Minangkabaunese languages.

FUNCTION

In this par of discussion, the writer contrast the grammatical function, in-cluding the change of the word class of a base form caused by the prefixes that attached to the words. There will be a new word with different class if a certain prefix attached to the base form, but sometimes there is no change.

(49)

 English and Minangkabaunese Prefixes which can not e change word classes if they are attached to the base form

English Prefixes Minangkabaunese Prefixes • Prefix re-

re- + examine (V) reexamine (V) ‘to examine about.

• Prefix ta-

ta- + baok (V) ‘bring’ tabaok (V) to be brought’

ta- + gadang (Adj)’big’ tagadang (Adj) ‘biggest’

(50)

 English and Minangkabaunese prefixes that can be change of word classes if they are attached to the base form.

English Prefixes Minangkabaunese Prefixes • Prefix re-

re- + cycle (N) recycle (V) ‘to treat things can be used again’

re- + dress (N) redress (V) ‘to treat things can be used again’

• Prefix en-

en- + tomb (Adj) entomb (V) ‘to place to a tomb’

pa- + cilok (V)’thief’ pancilok (N) ‘thief’

• Prefix ta-

ta- + garudan (N) ‘grater’ tagarudan (V) ‘to be grated accidently’

(51)

‘incident in the same time’

So this contrastive analysis of Function between prefixes in both language are partly-correspondences because there are similarities in whole aspects be-cause changing of word class and there also several prefixes in both languages which do not change when they are attached to the base form.

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION 5.1 Conclusion

From the explanation and the analysis by using the terms of form, distribu-tion, function and meaning with the prefixes the writer can conclude that:

Prefixes in English and Minangkabaunese Language are correspondences in terms of form. There are prefixes in both languages can be attached to base form that beginning with consonant and vowel phonemes.

Prefixes in English and Minangkabaunese language are partly-correspondences, while English prefixes can be attached to noun, verb and adjec-tive.

In Function between prefixes in both language are partly-correspondences because there are similarities in whole aspects because changing of word class and there also several prefixes in both languages which do not change when they are attached to the base form.

There is partly-correspondences between prefixes in English and Minang-kabaunese language in terms of meaning of both language is not same in whole.

5.2 Suggestion

After analyzing prefixes between English and Minangkabaunese language. The writer tries to give some suggestions as follows :

(55)

a. The writer hopes this thesis could be a reference for those who want to do fur-ther research in English and Minangkabaunese language.

b. The writer suggests student of English Department who are interested in this field, to do further research particularly about the grammatical form concern. c. The writer realizes that the analysis of Minangkabaunese language as one of

the local language in Indonesia is still very view in number of people who are interted to analyze it. The writer hopes those those who care about the exis-tence of Minangkabaunese language should do some attempts in developing it.
