An Analysis of Derivational and Inflectional Morpheme in Selected News From Tempo.Co

Abstract

The objectives of this research are to know the derivational and inflectional morphemes and to know the functions of morpheme in the selected news from Tempo.co. This research uses qualitative method. The analysis shows that the derivational and inflectional morphemes found in Tempo.co as 357 words. Derivational shows 97 data (27.17 %) and inflectional shows 260 data (72.83 %). Derivational changes the grammatical categories of words which consists of suffix and prefix, for example, noun-forming suffix changes the words/morphemes to nouns in the suffix –ion, -ment, -ist, -ship and –er. Adjective-forming suffix changes the words/ morphemes to adjectives in the suffix –able, -al, -ful, -ic, -cal, and –ous. Adverb-forming suffix changes the words/morphemes to an adverb in the suffix –ly. While, verb-forming prefix changes adjective to new adjective or form verb to new verb in the prefix un- and mis-. The inflectional does not change the grammatical categories of words which consists of “-s, -‘s, -er, -est, -s, -ed, -ing, and –en”. The suffix –s means plural. The suffix -‘s, -s’ means possessive. The suffix –er means comparative. The suffix –est means superlative. The suffix –ed means past. The suffix –ing means Ving (continuous). The suffix –en means participle.

An Analysis of Inflectional Morphemes in a Short Story “The Child’s Story” by Charles Dickens

“…Based on the data above, we can see that noun plural suffixes (-s) become the most dominant inflectional morpheme in this text. This result is in line with the studies of Maulidina et al (2019) and Fitria (2020), who mentioned that inflectional morphemes especially noun plural suffixes, becomes the most dominant inflectional morphemes among other types. It can occur because plural suffixes (-s) as inflectional morphemes attached to many nouns in the text.…”

“…It can be seen from some previous studies conducted by some researchers. Most researchers (Rugaiyah, 2018;Maulidina et al, 2019;Fitria, 2020;Afri & Maulina, 2021) focused on the presentation of derivational and inflectional morphemes. Rugaiyah (2018) analysed the category of derivational and inflectional morphemes in Reading Texts of 2013 Curriculum English Textbook for the X Grade of Senior High Schools Published by the Ministry of Education and Culture.…”

“…Menurut (Fitria, 2020) ada dua jenis sufiks; (1) sufiks derivasi, jenis ini dapat membentuk kata turunan dari kata dasar, sufiks ini juga akan mengubah arti dasar kata secara drastis, misalnya; demokrasi, -acy adalah sufiks turunan. (2) akhiran infleksional, jenis ini hanya memberikan penjelasan yang lebih jelas tentang kata dasarnya, tetapi akhiran ini masih mengubah arti kata dasar tetapi tidak secara drastis, misalnya; lebih besar, -er adalah sufiks infleksional.…”

“…The word 'enactment' has a base form 'enact' and is added by the suffixmeant to be 'enactment'. The word 'employment' has a base form 'employ' and is added by the suffix -meant to be 'employment' (Fitria, 2020).…”

“…Suppose a morpheme is added to a word that results in a different word classification or the same word classification with a different linguistic meaning. In that case, this morpheme is called a derivation morpheme or a morpheme that produces a word (derivative) (Fitria, 2020). Most derivational suffixes in English change part of speech.…”
