This research deals with the occurrence of the English Blends in the HighEnd Teen e-magazine 2016 editions. Since language is dynamic and
constantly evolving, many new words are formed. The aim of this study is to analyze the occurrence of English Blends in the HighEnd Teen e-magazine 2016 editions.
The formulated problems of this research are: (1) What are the base words of the English blends which are found in the HighEnd Teen e-magazine 2016 editions?, (2) What types of the English blends are found in the HighEnd Teen e-magazine 2016 editions?, and (3) What is the most frequent type of the English blends which is found in the HighEnd Teen e-magazine 2016 editions?
This research employed a qualitative research method and used document analysis to gain a better understanding about the phenomena of English blends in the e-magazines. The subjects of this research were twelve HighEnd Teen e-magazines, from January to December 2016. There were three instruments which were used to gather the data. They were human instrument, documents, and observation table.
The result of this research showed that in the HighEnd Teen e-magazine 2016 editions, there were thirty two English blends which were found. Those blends were composed by at least two base words which had different meaning. Among the three types, blends with clipping were the most productive type of the
blends. The implication of the study showed that the occurrence of blends in e-magazines can be one alternative way to teach students about one of word formation processes and it can enrich the vocabulary of English words.

1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides background information related to the study and states the problems of the research. It also explains about the objectives and benefits of the research. Some key words or phrases which are specifically used in the research are introduced in this chapter to avoid misinterpretation among the readers. This chapter is subdivided into four parts, namely, research background, research questions, research significance, and definition of terms used in this research.
A. Research Background
Language, as the media for human communication, develops significantly day by day. According to Shohamy (2007), an understanding of language as “open, dynamic, energetic, constantly evolving and personal” encompasses the rich complexities in communication (as cited in Scarino & Liddicoat, 2009, p. 16). Since language is dynamic and constantly evolving, it is possible that many new words are formed. People may encounter the new words while they are doing their daily activities, such as reading book, listening to the music, watching movies, or having conversation with other people.
Linguistics is an area of research which studies language. According to Aitchison (2003), linguistics is “the systematic study of language and it is “one of the fastest-expanding branches of knowledge” (p. 4). There are many fields in linguistics, such as phonetics, phonology, syntax, morphology, pragmatics,
(19)
semantics, and sociolinguistics. The study of how a word is formed is in morphology field. According to Aronoff & Fudeman (2011), “Morphology refers to the mental system involved in word formation or to branch of linguistics that deals with words, their internal structure, and how they are formed” (p. 2). Furthermore, according to Yule (2006), word formation is “the study of the processes whereby new words come into being in a language” (as cited in Tahaineh, 2012, p. 1107). Yule states that there are some types of word formation process, such as coinage, derivation, compounding, clipping, blending, conversion, backformation, and abbreviation.
The occurrence of English new words can be seen in various activities or aspects in human life. Mass media communication can become one target to observe the existence of language development. According to Livesey (2011), mass media refer to channels of communication that involve transmitting information in some way, shape or form to large numbers of people (p. 2). There are various kinds of mass media, such as magazine, newspaper, television, etc. In this research, the researcher has chosen one kind of mass media, which is magazine. Magazine is a communication media or a medium of information that can reach all levels of society. Magazine is usually published weekly or monthly.
Nowadays, most magazines are available in printed and electronic format because of the development of technology. Chennupati, Foo, & Heng (2006) state that “Electronic publishing (EP) refers to the application of computing software by a publisher to information content created and packaged for a specific audience, and the distribution of the final product through electronic means” (p.
(20)
1). Electronic publishing includes various publishing models, such as electronic books books), electronic newspapers newspapers), electronic magazines (e-zines), etc. People read a magazine to access any information which is suitable with their interests, class, or age group. While most newspapers contain news for the general readers, magazines more focus on a specific aspect of life, such as parenting, lifestyle, hairdressing, fashion, business, travel, etc. Beside there are a lot of information that can be found in magazines about the issues around the world, the element of the language, such as words, which are used in magazines are various and attractive. In magazines, language is used creatively to attract attention from the readers. Therefore, there are many new words that can be found in magazines.
Among the various kinds of word formation in English, the researcher is interested to conduct a research on English blends, which occur as the results of blending, in e-magazines. According to Aronoff & Fudeman (2011), “Blending is an example of creative language use. It generally does not adhere to strict constraints, as does affixation” (p. 120). Moreover, Danks (2003) states that blends often occur in magazines and newspapers, as well as in advertisements (p. 3).
In this research, the researcher chooses HighEnd Teen (HET)e-magazine as the data source. The researcher chooses HET magazine because it is one of Indonesian magazines which uses English language to deliver articles, news and other information related to international teenagers’ lifestyle. It is also a well-known magazine among teenagers. HET magazine provides its magazine in
(21)
printed and digital format (e-magazine). After considering some advantages of the e-magazine version, the researcher is going to use the HighEnd Teene-magazines. There are some advantages from the usage of e-magazine. According to Chennupati, Foo, & Heng, (2006), “ePublications offer the potential of enhancing information with additional dimensions in a cost-effective way and thus enabling the information to reach a wider audience of users compared to paper-based print publications (pPublications)” (p. 2). Since the researcher is analyzing the HET e-magazine in one year period, it is more practical to get the e-magazine from each month by purchasing the e-magazine. Nowadays, teenagers also prefer to buy the e-magazine than the printed format. The e-magazine can be purchased in SCOOP newsstand which contains over 100,000 editions of magazine, book, and newspaper in digital format (eBook) from different categories and this application is available on iPad, iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone.
B. Research Questions
Based on the background of the study, the researcher formulated three research questions as follows:
1. What are the base words of the English blends which are found in the
HighEnd Teene-magazine 2016 editions?
2. What types of the English blends are found in the HighEnd Teen e-magazine 2016 editions?
3. What is the most frequent type of the English blends which is found in the
(22)
C. Research Significance
The study focused on English blends as the result of blending in word formation. Therefore, it can give benefits for the following readers:
1. For English Language Learners
This research is useful for the college students, especially English Language Education Study Program students, who study English as a foreign language. By reading this research, it is expected that the language learners can have better understanding and additional knowledge about English blends as the result of word formation process.
2. For English Teachers
This research could be an inspiration for English teachers who often find English blends as the result of word formation process in their teaching. They could use a magazine as the teaching media to supplement the textbook.
3. For Other Researchers
This research is expected to provide some information that can be used as a reference for the same research or to give an inspiration for other researchers who are interested to conduct a further research in the similar topic.
(23)
D. Definition of Terms
The following terms need to be clarified so that the reader can comprehend the research easily.
1. Blends
English blends are the example of creative use. They are composed of at least two base words. According to Carroll (1996), a blend is composed by two different words with completely unequal meanings which are put together to form a new word with a new meaning (as cited in Hosseinzadeh, 2014, p. 18). A blend occurs as the result of blending in word formation process. Gries (2004) defines blending as the coinage of a new lexeme by fusing parts of at least two other source words of which either one is shortened in the fusion and/or where there is some form of phonemic or graphemic overlap of the source words (as cited in Hosseinzadeh, 2014, p.18). The examples of blends in English are stagflation
which is derived from stagnation and inflation, smog from smoke and fog and
motel from motor and hotel. 2. E-Magazine
An e-magazine (e-zine) is an “electronic magazine” or “online magazine”. Chennupati, Foo, & Heng (2006) state, “eZines are equivalent to eNewspapers but published by established print magazine publishers” (p. 3).
3. HighEnd Teen (HET)E-Magazine
HighEnd Teene-magazine is an Indonesian e-magazine which is published by PT MNI Entertainment. It is part of PT Global Mediacom Tbk group which
(24)
includes PT Media Nusantara Citra Tbk (MNC Group), RCTI, Global TV, MNCTV, Indovision television networks, daily newspaper Seputar Indonesia,
tabloid Genie, Mom & Kiddie, and Just for Kids magazine. The e-magazine uses English language in the articles, news and other information related to international teenagers’ lifestyle.

8 CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In this chapter, the researcher would like to discuss the theories which support this research. This chapter consists of two parts. The first part is the theoretical description which explains the relevant theories that support the research. The second part is the theoretical framework which summarizes and synthesizes all major relevant theories used by the researcher to answer the research questions.
A. Theoretical Description
The study of blends is included in morphology field. According to Baurier (2003), morphology is the study of forms of words and this term is etymologically from the Greek morphe‘form’ and –ology ‘study’ (p. 335). Lieber (2015) also defines Morphology as the study of word formation which includes the process of new words formed and the way forms of words are varied depending on how they are used in sentences (p. 2).
1. Words
Words are the most familiar of all the units of linguistic analysis. Words play an important and integral role in the human ability to use language creatively. According to O’Grady and Guzman, the most reliable defining property of words is that they are the smallest free forms found in language (1997, p. 132). A free form is an element that can occur in isolation and/or whose position with respect to
(26)
9 neighboring elements is not entirely fixed. Lieber (2015) defines a word as “one or more morphemes that can stand alone in a language” (p. 3). There are two categories of words: simple and complex. Simple words consist of only one morpheme, while complex words are made up of two or more morphemes.
2. Morphemes
Words are composed of basic units, called morphemes. Morpheme is the most important component of word structure (O’Graddy & Guzman, 1997). It is the smallest unit of language that carries information about meaning or function. According to Akmajian, Demers, Farmer and Harnish (2001), “morphemes are the minimal units of word building in a language; they cannot be broken down any further into recognizable or meaningful parts” (p. 17). There are two kinds of morpheme: free morpheme and bound morpheme. A free morpheme is a morpheme that can stand as an independent word or can be a word by itself. On the other hand, a bound morpheme cannot be an independent word since it has to be attached to another element. For instance, in the word ‘meaningful’, there are one free morpheme (mean) and two bound morphemes (–ing and –ful).
3. Word Formation
In Morphology, word formation can be defined as the study of processes on how new words are formed from the existing ones and come into being a language. According to Yule (2006), there are several kinds of word formation process namely;
(27)
10 coinage, borrowing, compounding, blending, clipping, back formation, conversion, acronyms, derivation and inflection (as cited in Tahaineh, 2012).
4. Blends
According to Danks (2003), “A blend occurs when two (or possibly more) elements combine together, so that at the point(s) of fusion something is either lost from at least one source element, or shared by both (p. 21).”Jazzerciseis the result of the fusion between jazz and exercise. At the point of fusion, the first bit of the word exerciseis clipped. Another example is slanguage. Both of the base words share the same [lang] and they become one new word. The process of producing a blend is called blending. As one of word formation processes, blending is a derivational process in English and it is one example of creative language use since it does not adhere to strict constraints (Aronoff & Fudeman, 2011, p. 119-120).
A blend is a combination of two (or more) source words, where at least one has been shortened. The shortening can be as the result of omission of a part of a word or the result of overlapping sounds or letters. The word part is often called a splinter (Lehrer, 2007, p. 116). Moreover, according to Danks (2003), blends combine parts of lexical source words, rather than whole source words; this distinguishes them from compounds. Morphological structure is not particularly relevant to blends. Phonological properties are highly relevant to blending; phonological similarity of the blend with part or whole source (Kemmer, 2003).
(28)
11 According to Carroll (1996), a blend is composed by two different words with completely unequal meanings which put together to form a new word with a new meaning (as cited in Hosseinzadeh, 2014, p. 18). Blends are often called portmanteau words as Lewis Carroll’s book (1882), Through the Looking Glass of Humpty Dumpty,describes as follows: “Well, ‘slithy’ means ‘lithe’ and ‘slimy’. You see it’s like a portmanteau, there are two meanings packed into one word”.
1) Splinters in Blends
In 1961, the term “splinters” was originally introduced by Berman (as cited in (as cited in Fandrych, 2008, p. 112). This term has been proposed for the constituents of blends which have irregular shape. According to Adams (1973), splinters are parts of morphs and have irregular form, though in some cases there is no formal irregularity, but there is a special relationship of meaning between the splinter and some regular word in which it occurs (as cited in Fandrych, 2008, p. 112). As a part of word which forms a blend, a splinter cannot occur alone as a word, although basically it is a clipping. Lehrer (2007) gives an example in the word infotainment (information + entertainment). Infois a clipping and it can be used as an independent word. However, -tainment is a splinter and cannot stand alone (as cited in Silaski & Durovic, 2013, p. 87)
2) Classifications of Blends
Some researchers, such as Algeo (1977), Lehrer (2007), and Fandrich (2008), propose different kinds of blends classification. Algeo (1977) develops the
(29)
12
classification of blends into structural types (as cited in Hosseinzadeh, 2014, p. 19-20). Based on the structural types, there are three types of blends. The first type
is blends with phonemic overlap. In this type of blends, overlapping is the only type of shortening of the words. The overlap can be one phoneme or several phonemes. The most common pattern of overlapping is where the final part of the first word overlaps the first part of the second word. Blends with overlapping may also include all of one form and the first or last part of the other word. One example of this type is slanguage,from the word slang + language, which means language characterized by excessive use of slang or cant). Another example is backcronym, which is from the word back + acronym, means reverse acronym. Alcoholiday,which is from the word alcohol + holiday, means holidays that end up being more about parties and getting drunk with or without the meat. The word playbore is also a blend with overlapping and it is derived fromplayboy + bore. Playboremeans a boresome playboy. The last example is cartune,which is from the word cartoon + tune, means musical cartoon.
The second of type is blends with clipping. According to Crystal (2003), clippings are reductions of longer forms, usually by removing the end, sometimes the beginning, or both beginning and ending of the word together. It is the shortening of two words and then compounding them. Blends with clipping have no overlapping. Instead one part or more is omitted. There are different types of new blends with clipping. The first is blends which are created by using the first bit of the first word and the last bit of the second one. The examples are spotch, from the word spot + blotch, and blaccent,from the word black+ accent). The second is blends which keep
(30)
13 the whole part of the first word and the last part of the second word. The examples are foodoholic, from the word food + alcoholic, and sunbrella, from the word sun + umbrella). The third is blends which keep part of the first word plus whole of the second one. Eurasia, from the word Europe + Asia, and automagic, from the word automatic+magic, are the examples of this type. The fourth is new blends which are created by using the first parts of two words. For instances, pokemonis from the word pocket + monster, and famicom is from the word family + computer. The fifth is multiple sounds from two component words are blended, while mostly preserving the sounds’ order. For example is slithy, from the word lithe + slimy. The last type is blends which are created by using the last parts of two words, such as podcasting, from the word ipod + broadcasting. Blends with clipping are often shortened at morpheme boundaries. The example is Oxbridge, which is a blend of the word Oxfordand Cambridge.In this case, it can be difficult to differentiate whether it is as a blending case or compounding case if one does not know its background. Blends that are clipped at morpheme boundaries are therefore a less obvious example of the blending process than blends that are shortened in a less straightforward manner (Enarsson, 2006).
The last type of blends according to Algeo (1977) is blends with phonemic overlap and clipping. In this type, blends are formed by shortening of two words to a shared syllable and then compounding. The example of this type is californication, from the word californi(a)and fornicat(e).
(31)
14 Beside those three structural types of blends, Algeo (1977) also classifies blends into syntagmatic blends and associative blends. Syntagmatic blends are blends that represent combinations of words that occur next to one another in the speech chain. In most of the cases of this type, the first words ends with the same sound or sequence of sounds as the second word begins with. The examples are Chicagorilla, from the word Chicago and gorilla,and radarange, from the word radar and range. Another classification is associative blends. They are created from words that are linked in the word-maker’s mind. They can have a semantic link, as it can be seen in the word needcessityfrom needand necessity.
Another researcher, Lehrer (2007), uses the term ‘splinter’ in most of his classification of blends (p. 117). According to Lehrer (2007), the commonest type of blend is a full word followed by a splinter, as in wintertainment. The second type is blends which are begun with a splinter and followed by a full word. The example is Amerindian, from the word American and Indian. The third type is blends which consist of two splinters, such in the word hurricoone (hurricane + typhoon). The fourth type of blends involves complete overlap of one or more phonemes, often of whole syllables. For instance, the word sexploitation is from the word sex and exploitation.At last, the less common type is blends involve a discontinuous element. A word or clipping is embedded in part of another source word as an infix. The example of this type is entreporneur, from the word entrepreneurand pornography.
The last classification is proposed by Fandrich (2008). He divides blends into ten types depending on their structures. The first is initial and final splinter with
(32)
15 overlap (as in affluenza). The second is two initial splinters with overlap (as in modem). The third is two final splinters with overlap (as in Kongfrontation). The fourth is overlap of full words (as in thinspirations). The fifth is initial splinter + full word with overlap (as in emoticon). The sixth type is final splinter + full word with overlap (as in netiquette). The seventh is full word + final splinter with overlap (as in adultescent). The eighth is insertion of one word into the other, with overlap (as in Clinterngate). The ninth is blends with more than two constituents (as in burpulence) and the last type is graphic blends, as in Inglish(Fandrich, 2008, p.113).
From those various types of English blends, it is possible that all of those types occur in the e-magazine. The researcher expects to get the examples of each type, so that the occurrence of English blends can be more various.
5. Electronic Magazine or E-Magazine
A magazine is a publication that is issued periodically. In general, magazine contains essays, poems, stories, fiction, recipes, articles, images, etc. The articles found in magazine are easy to read, fairly brief in length, and may include illustrations or photographs. Magazine has an attractive appearance, eye-catching cover pictures and illustrations on quality paper make it more appealing and attractive to the readers. There are also many colorful and impressive advertisements that can be found in magazines.
Recently, magazine publishers have increasingly embraced electronic publishing for their magazine. Electronic publishing refers to the application that is
(33)
16 used by a publisher to deliver the information through electronic means (Chennupati, Foo, & Heng, 2006). At the beginning, electronic publishing is used to complement publications’ print. However, some publisher now has increasingly employed digital platforms exclusively – to both replace print distribution for former print publications and as the sole distribution method for newly-launched publications.
Electronic publishing itself has various models of publishing. Those models are digital content, electronic books (e-books), electronic newspapers (e-newspapers), electronic magazines (e-magazines/e-zines), and electronic journals (e-journals). According to Chennupati, Foo, & Heng (2006), electronic magazines are equivalent to electronic newspapers which it means they are the online accompaniments of established magazines where new articles and the latest updates are published on the web. E-magazines are published by established print magazine publishers.
B. Theoretical Framework
This research is in morphology field which focuses on of word formation processes. The researcher used a theory from Yule (2006) to explain that there were various kinds of English word formation processes, such as coinage, borrowing, compounding, blending, clipping, back formation, conversion, acronyms, derivation and inflection. This research focuses on blending in HighEnd Teen (HET) magazine 2016 editions. The purpose of this research is to observe English blends and analyze the process of blending that occurs in HighEnd Teene-magazine 2016 editions. This
(34)
17 part, then, will explore the contribution of related theories in solving the research problems.
There are three research problems addressed in this research. The first research
problem deals with the base words of English blends which are found in the e-magazines. Second is the type of English blends and the third is the most frequent
type of blend which occur in the HighEnd Teen e-magazines. To answer the first research question, the researcher used online dictionaries and other journals to find out the base words. The researcher also used the theory from Danks (2003) and Carroll (1996) as the references. In analyzing the types of blends, the researcher used the theory from Algeo (1977) about the three types of blends. Algeo (1977) distinguishes blends into: blends with phonemic overlap, blends with clipping, and blends with phonemic overlap and clipping. To answer the last research question, the researcher counted the number of blends in each type. The result is supported by the previous research from Enarsson (2006) which shows that blends with clipping are the most frequent blends.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In this chapter, the researcher presents the rationale for the method of the data collection and analysis. This chapter describes the method of the research and analysis, outlines the procedure in gathering and data analysis. This chapter is subdivided into five parts, which are research method, research setting, research subjects, instrument and data gathering technique, and data analysis technique.
A. Research Method
The research dealt with English blends in theHighEnd Teene-magazine 2016 editions. The researcher employed a qualitative method in this research. According to Patton & Cochran (2002), “Qualitative research is characterized by its aims, which relate to understanding some aspects of social life, and its methods which (in general) generate words, rather than numbers, as data for analysis” (p. 2). The researcher discussed English blends mostly by using words in this study.
Furthermore, this research used document analysis to gain a better understanding about the phenomenon of blends in magazines. According to Bowen (2009), document analysis is used to review and evaluate documents, both printed and electronic material (p.17). Documents that can be used for the research are varied. They include advertisements; agendas, attendance registers, and minutes of meetings; manuals; background papers; book and brochures; diaries and journals; event programs; letters and memoranda; maps and charts; and newspapers
(36)
19 (Bowen, 2009). In this research, the data were collected from twelve e-magazines of
HighEnd Teen(January-December 2016). From the e-magazines, the researcher could find the occurrence of English blends. After the data were collected, the researcher then analyzed and classified the data based on their classifications. The blends analysis showed the base words and the types of English blends which were found in the HighEnd Teen e-magazine 2016 editions. The classification results showed the most frequent type of English blends which occurred in the HighEnd Teen e-magazine 2016 editions.
B. Research Setting
HighEnd Teen e-magazines were published by PT MNI Entertainment in Jakarta. The intended readers are teenagers, who are interested to get international information about lifestyle. In 2016 editions, there were twelve magazines. They were from January to December 2016). The researcher used the electronic version of the magazines by purchasing the magazines on SCOOP Newsstand. SCOOP is a digital Newsstand application which is available on the Google Play and App Store. The research was conducted for around 3 months, from December 2016 until February 2017.
C. Research Subjects
The researcher used twelve HighEnd Teen e-magazines, from January to December 2016. Each month, the e-magazine presents different articles based on the theme. Table 3.1 shows the themes of the e-magazine in 2016 editions.
(37)

November Education issue December End-year season
HighEnd Teen e-magazine used English language to deliver articles, news, and many other interesting topics. The average page of each e-magazine was around 148 pages. The content consisted of around 4-5 main topics of the articles. At the beginning, there was ‘Cover Story’ which mostly talked about a certain person who was on the cover of the magazine. Moreover, the e-magazine also provided ‘HET Special’. This section presented the main interesting articles with certain topics which were specially prepared for the readers.
D. Instruments and Data Gathering Technique
In this qualitative research, there were three instruments which were used to gather the data. The first instrument was human instrument and it was the primary instrument in this research. According to Creswell (2007), one of the characteristics
(38)
21 The researcher collected the data through examining documents. Another instrument might be used, but the researcher was the one who actually gathered the information.
The second instrument of this research was the documents. The documents were the e-magazines of HighEnd Teen January – December 2016. After collecting the data, the researcher analyzed the English words which were used in the magazines. Any blends which occurred in the magazines were recorded and analyzed based on their types.
To help the gathering of the data, the researcher also made the third instrument, which was observation table. The researcher made twelve observation tables for twelve e-magazines. After the researcher read each of the magazines and marked the blends, the researcher recorded the words into the observation tables. The researcher also used online dictionaries and journals to help classifying the data. The following is the observation table which was used by the researcher. It was used for each e-magazine.
Table 3.2 Blends Observation Form
(39)
22
E. Data Analysis Technique
After all of the data had been recorded the researcher analyzed the data. All the data were analyzed to answer the three research questions. To answer the first research question, the researcher analyzed the data by finding the base words of each blend by using online dictionary and related journals of similar research. Since there was a possibility that one blend could happen in more than one month, the researcher also counted the frequency of each. Table 3.3 is used to show the base words of each blend.
Table 3.3 The Base Words of English Blends
No. Blends Frequency Base Word 1 Base Word 2
In analyzing the types of blending, the researcher used the theory from Algeo (1977). Algeo proposed three different types of blends. To answer the second and the third research questions, the researcher used the theory from Miles, Huberman & Saldana (2014) about three concurrent flows of activity: data condensation/reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification.
(40)
23
1. Data Condensation or Reduction
The first stage was data reduction. In this process, the researcher sorted and organized the data. Coding was then used in sorting the data. Table 3.4 is used to present the code lists.
Table 3.4 Code Lists
Types Code
Blends with phonemic overlap BLDa Blends with clipping BLDb Blends with phonemic overlap and clipping BLDc
2. Data Display
According to Miles and Huberman (1994), designing a display, such as deciding which data, in which form, should be entered in the cells, is also a part of analytic activities. The displays include many types of matrices, graphs, charts, and networks. In this stage, displaying the data made the information accessible, so that the researcher could analyze and draw justified conclusion. The gathered data were organized in table 3.5.

3. Conclusion Drawing
From the data display, the conclusions were drawn and verified as the last stage of the analysis. After doing the evaluation of English blends that occurred in the
(41)
24
HighEnd Teen e-magazines, the researcher obtained the information needed. The researcher could find out the types of English blends which were found in the
HighEnd Teen e-magazines. Furthermore, from the data which had been classified, the researcher could analyze the type of English blends which was most productive in the HighEnd Teen e-magazine 2016 editions. At the end, from the result of data reduction and data display, the researcher discussed the findings.

CHAPTER IV
RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents the results of the research. This chapter also provides the discussion of the results which should represent its link to the objectives as well as the theoretical framework as discussed in the previous chapters. This chapter is divided into two sections; the first one is the presentation of the research results and the second is the discussion.
A. Research Results

1. The Base Words of the English Blends in the HighEnd Teen E-Magazine 2016 Editions
A blend consists of at least two base words. The researcher found the base words by looking up at the dictionaries and other related sources. However, some of the blends were new and they were not stated in the dictionary. The researcher tried to analyze the blends and found the base words
There were four blends which were found in the HighEnd Teen
e-magazine January 2016 edition. They were advertorial, bit, teenspiration, and

2. The Types of the English Blends in the HighEnd TeenE-Magazine 2016 Editions
After finding the English blends in the HighEnd Teen e-magazine from January to December 2016, in total, there were 32 different blends which were found. Table 4.13 shows the types of the English blends which were found in the e-magazines. According to Algeo (1977), the types of the English blends were blends with overlapping (BLDa), blends with clipping (BLDb), and blends with overlapping and clipping (BLDc).

B. Discussion
In this digital era, e-magazine could be one source to learn the development of language, either the printed or electronic format. Since language was dynamic, many new words were formed day by day. The researcher conducted an investigation of one of word formation processes in the e-magazines. A blend was a result of blending in word formation process. Gries (2004) defined blending as the process that involved the coinage of a new lexeme by fusing parts of at least two other source words of which either one was shortened in fusion and/or where there were some forms of phonemic or graphemic overlap of the source words. In the HighEnd Teen e-magazines, the researcher found the examples of English blends. From twelve different months in year 2016, the researcher found 32 different blends as they are shown in Table 4.13.
(56)
1. The Meaning of the Base Words and the English Blends in theHighEnd TeenE-Magazine 2016 Editions
According to Danks (2003), “a blend occurs when two (or possibly more) elements “blend” together, so that at the point(s) of fusion something is either lost from at least one source element, or shared by both.” The research results proved that a blend consisted of at least two different base words in which one of them was shortened or there was an overlap at the point of fusion. The meaning of the blend was often the combination of the base words.
The first blend was advertorial. According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 8th Edition, advertorial meant an advertisement that was designed to look like an article in the newspaper or magazine in which it appeared (Hornby, 2010). It was composed of the word advertisement, which meant a notice or announcement in a public medium promoting a product, service, event, or publicizing a job, and the word editorial, which meant a newspaper article expressing the editor’s opinion on a topical issue.

2. The Types and the Formation of the English Blends in the HighEnd TeenE-Magazine 2016 Editions
There were some researchers, such as Algeo (1977), Lehrer (2007), and Fandrich (2008), who distinguished the types of blends differently. However, in this research, the researcher analyzed the types of English blends into three types of blends according to Algeo (1977). Algeo (1977) distinguished the process of blending based on how the words were formed. According to Algeo (1977), there were three types of blends, which were blends with phonemic overlap, blends with clipping, and blends with clipping and overlapping. In this research, the researcher found the examples of those three types of blends.
a. Blends with Phonemic Overlap
The first type of blends was blends with phonemic overlap. In this type of blends, the base words of the blend were overlapping. According to Algeo (1977), a syllable or part of a syllable was shared between two words. On the other words,
(63)
the overlapping could be happened at one phoneme or several. From the 32 blends which were found in the HighEnd Teen e-magazines, there were 2 blends which represented blends with phonemic overlap. One example was the word
bloomingle, from the word bloom and mingle. Those two base words shared the same phoneme /m/ in the last part of the word bloomand the first part of the word
mingle.The word bloomingledescribed something which was bloom and ready to mingle. Another example was the word youniverse. The word you was pronounced /ju:/ and universe is pronounced /ˈjuːnɪvəːs/. Since they shared the same phonemes /ju:/ in you and in the first part of the word universe, the phonemes overlapped. In the magazine, the word youniverse related to the exploration of women’s beauty which could change the universe.
b. Blends with Clipping
The second type of blends proposed by Algeo (1977) was blends with clipping. Clipping was also one of word formation processes. According to Crystal (2003), clippings were the reductions of longer forms, usually removing the end of the word, sometimes the beginning, or both beginning and ending together. After one or both of the base words was shortened, they were coined together. Blends with clipping had no overlapping.
In the HighEnd Teen e-magazines, the researcher found 23 of 32 blends which were included in this type of blends. These blends used various pattern of clipping in the process of forming the blends, whether they used fore clipping or middle clipping, whether there was only one base word which was shortened or both of the base words were shortened and after that coined together. According
(64)
to Algeo (1977), there were a number of different patterns with this type of blends. First was blends were created by using the first part of the first word and the last part of the second word. Second was blends were created by using the whole first word and the last part of the second word. Third was blends were created by using the first part of the first word and the whole second word. Fourth was blends were created by using the last parts of two words. Fifth was blends were created by using the first parts of both the words.
