CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Analysis
Humans are social creatures who can not stand alone to fill their needs
both physical and spiritual needs. Humans need to interact with each other.
Language is the media of communication between one individual from another
person. Communication can be created with any language, and language can also
be created due to the support and the desire of every individual to communicate.
Language is generally described as a system of sounds used to link sound
using words and sentences to meaning. Language can be described as a symbolic
system in which sounds and meanings are assigned to each other, allowing
humans to communicate what we are thinking and how we are feeling. In other
words, there is an arbitrary aspect of language with meanings assigned to words
and sounds. As native speakers of a language, we know that words are arbitrarily
given meaning to express ideas. As a system, the language consists of components
- components which are regularly arranged according to certain patterns.
Linguistics is the science of language or the field of the study, where the
subject of the study is the language. It is a scientific knowledge which can be
applied to all languages in the world. It does not belong to a certain language
only. Linguistics covers several aspects which includes Phonology, Morphology,
Syntax, Semantics and also some other sciences that are related to linguistics like
In this thesis, the writer would like to describe one of the linguistic
aspects, i.e. “Morphology”. Morphology (Crystal, 1989:90) is the branch of
linguistics studying the structure of words. Morphology is also called the study of
morphemes and their different forms (allomorphs) and the way they combine in
word formation. Or, morphology is the branch of linguistics studying how words
are structured and how they are put together from smaller parts. For example, the
English word unfriendly is formed from friend, the adjective-forming suffix –ly
and the negative prefix un-.
Sibarani (2001) in his book An Introduction to Morphology explains about
the word-formation process in morphology. The word-formation process or the
morphological process is the process of forming new words with the rules of
morphology. Even though some languages recognize a part of the word-formation
processes, in morphology there are fourteen word-formation processes and one of
them is affixation. Affixation is the adding of bound morphemes to the base to
form a word. The bound morphemes added initially to the base are called prefixes,
those inserted into the base are called infixes, and those added to the end of the
base are called suffixes. English has many prefixes and suffixes.
Affixation is an interesting object to be analyzed because in the
morphological process the productive in forming a new word is affixation. In this
thesis, the analysis of affixation is focused on form, distribution, and function.
The reason why the writer choose the affixation topic in this thesis because the
writer wants to know the process of how a word is formed in English vocabulary
Thus, the writer wants to show that there are can be discussed from the
topics have chosen in which the writer found of some morphological process and
one of them is “Affixation” that normally consists of prefixation and suffixation.
This kind of the process is very important to English students especially for those
who want to increase their vocabulary, and they can determine meaning more
easily if they already know the meaning of an affix, such as anti- (against) in the
word antisocial. The last, the writer also wants to shows the readers more about
the processes.
In this thesis, affixation is chosen as the subject of analysis, which
particularly concerns with morphological process found in Robinson Crusoe by
Daniel Defoe as the data of this analysis. This novel is very interesting to go in
certain direction to find many English affixes aimed inside. So it is the real reason
why it is chosen as the data of analysis, especially to find out the most dominant
affix that used in this novel.
Besides, Daniel Defoe novel ‘Robinson Crusoe’ is an interesting novel
that there are many consists of affixation. Therefore, the discussion of the prefixes
and suffixes by Booij (2007) will be focused on the major classification of
1.2 The Problems of the Analysis
Based on the title of this paper, it focuses on the following problems:
1. How many prefixes and suffixes occurred in the novel Robinson Crusoe?
2. What is the most dominant affix that used in the novel Robinson Crusoe?
1.3 Objectives of the Analysis
The objectives of this thesis are to find the answers of the problems which
are mentioned above. They are:
1. To show the number of prefixes and suffixes in the novel Robinson Crusoe.
2. To show the most dominant affix that used in the novel Robinson Crusoe.
1.4 Significances of the Analysis
This thesis is expected to give some significance for readers. They are:
1. To add the readers knowledge about word formation and affixation in the
novel.
2. To be reference for further studies concerning Morphology.
1.5 Scope of the Analysis
This thesis is occurred on the morphological process of affixes which
includes prefixes and suffixes based on their form, distribution, function and also
1.6 Method of Analysis
The method used in this thesis is library research. This method supports
the analysis in collecting some relevant references such as textbook with many
theories, thesis, and dictionary as the basic of lexical meaning.
It means that the research is mainly done by concentrating on the
contextual analysis with steps as follows:
1. Collecting the data from the novel Robinson Crusoe By Daniel Defoe.
2. Classifying the data into specific prefix and suffix.
3. Analyzing the data based on affixes categories.
4. Concluding the result of the analysis.
1.7 Review of Related Literature
In supporting the idea of this analysis, some relevant books and thesis
have collected to support the topic. All these books have given a large
contribution in writing this thesis. Some definitions, opinions, and findings from
relevant books are quoted as follows:
Lambert (1972) says that an affix is a morpheme which may be attached at
the beginning or end of a base or to one or more morphemes ultimately attached
to such a base.
Muchtar (2007) mentions that affixes are the process of forming word that
is
Mulyani (2004) in her thesis “An Analysis of Affixation In Harun Yahya’s
Book Darwinism Refuted” concludes that affixes in English can be subdivided
pre-,sub-, under--, un-, en-, over-, dis-, fore-, non-, out-, ir-, and pro- do not
change the form when they are attached to base form, and in distribution, they can
be attached to noun, adjective, verb, or adverb base form. Those prefixes also do
not change the function. While the most suffixes such as –ment, -tion, -al, - ful, -
ary, and ly, change the form if attached to base form.
Syam (2009) in his thesis “A Brief Study of Affixation in A Tale of Two
Cities by Charles Dickens concludes that the most suffixes change the form and
function if they attached to the base forms. Prefix pre-, re-, a-, al-, in-, un-, dis-,
mis-, be-, im-, under-, en-, over-, out-, and fore, do not change form when they
attached to the base forms. But Prefix pro- changes the form when it is attached to
CHAPTER II
A BRIEF VIEW OF MORPHOLOGY
2.1 Morphology
Morphology is a field of
formation of words in a language.The word morphology can be used in two ways:
it refers to a subdiscipline of linguistics, but it may also be used to refer to that
part of the grammar of a language. In present day linguistics, the term
‘morphology’ refers to the study of the internal structure of words, and of the
systematic form-meaning correspondences between words.
Morphology is the part of
their internal structure and partially their
users of a given language understand complex words and invent new lexical
items. As morphology is concerned with word forms it is akin t
(which describes how words are pronounced), it is also related to lexical studies as
the patterns examined by morphology are used to create new words. Furthermore,
it is also linked with
Morphology, the study of the structure and form of words in language or a
language, including inflection, derivation, and the formation of compounds. At the
basic level, words are made of “morphemes”. These are the smallest units of
meaning: roots and affixes (prefixes and suffixes). Native speakers recognize the
morphemes as grammatically significant or meaningful. For example,
grammatical suffix “-s”, and “unhappiness” is made of “happy” with a prefix
“un-” and a suffix “-ness“un-”.
2.2 Words
According to Matthews (1997) traditionally, a word is the smallest of units
that make up a sentence, and marked as such in writing. Word is unit of language
that comes meaning and consist of one or more morpheme which are linked more
or less tightly together and has a phonetically value, typically a word will consist
of root or stem and zero or more affixes word can be combine to create phrase,
clause, and sentence.
Words can be chopped into smaller pieces. At the phonological level,
words can be divided into syllables or segments, and segments into their
constituent phonological features. At the morphological level, words may consist
of more than one unit as well.
Words are usually the easiest units to identify in the written language. So
words are units composed of one or more morphemes; they are also the units of
which phrases are composed.
2.3 Morpheme
The word morpheme is derived from Greek word morphe, which meaning
form. Nida (1976:6) says, “Morphemes are the minimal meaningful units which
the language is composed”. Richard (1985: 183) also says, “Morpheme is the
morpheme is used to refer to the smallest, invisible units of semantic content or
grammatical function which words are made up off”.
Words are potentially complex units, composed of even more basic units,
called morphemes. A morpheme is the smallest part of a word that has
grammatical function or meaning. For example, sawed, sawn, sawing and saws
can all be analyzed into the morphemes. {Saw} can occur on its own as a word; it
does not have to be attached to another morpheme. It is a free morpheme.
However, none of the other morphemes listed just above is free. Each must be
affixed (attached) to some other unit; each can only occur as a part of a word.
Morphemes that must be attached as word parts are said to be bound morpheme.
Morphemes in morphology are the smallest units that carry meaning or fulfill
some grammatical function. The way morphemes operate in language provides
the subject matter of morphology. Thus, true is a single morpheme; untrue and
truly contain two morphemes.
Morphemes, the morphological building blocks of words, are defined as
the minimal linguistic units with a lexical or a grammatical meaning. For instance,
the noun buyer consists of two morphemes, buy and –er. The verbal morpheme
buy is called a free or lexical morpheme, because it can occur as a word by itself,
whereas –er is an affix.
Based on the definition above it can be conclude that Morpheme is a
meaningful of linguistics unit consisting of a word (such as dog; is a word) or a
word element (such as the –s at the end of dogs).
2.3.1 Free Morpheme
Free morpheme is a morpheme that can stand alone as an independent
word. A morpheme which can be used on its own is called free morpheme
(Richard, 1985: 31). While Sibarani (2001: 23) says “Free morphemes are
linguistic which can be used on its own or which can exist as independent word”.
For example, horse, red, drive. Katamba (1993:41) stated that many words
contain a root standing on its own. Roots, which are capable of standing
independently, are called free morpheme.
2.3.2 Bound Morpheme
Another type of morpheme is the bound morpheme, which occurs only
when attached to another morpheme. In other words, bound morpheme is
dependent form. Katamba (1993:42) stated on his book while only roots can be
free morphemes, not all roots are free. Many roots are incapable of occurring in
isolation. They always occur with some other word-building elements combine to
them.
Sibarani (2001: 23) says “Bound morphemes are linguistic forms which
are never used alone but must be used with another morpheme. The types of
bound morphemes include prefixes and suffixes.
For examples: suffix -ful in faithful
prefix -re in return
CHAPTER III
THE MORPHOLOGICAL PROCESS
Morphological process is a word formation process by combining one
morpheme with another morpheme or a word formation by making a modification
to its base form (affixes). Most language use suffixation and some of these
languages also use prefixation.
Logically, modifications of form will be involved in morphological
processes; adding or subtracting material (accompanied by a change in meaning).
So, the morphological process is a means of changing a stem to adjust its meaning
to fit its syntactic and communicational context.
Here are some kinds of morphological processes: Affixation, Reduplication,
Modification, Suppletion, and Compounding.
3.1 Affixation
The general term for bound morphemes that are added to roots and stems
is affix. Affixes are classified according to whether they are attached before or
after the form to which they are added. If an affix appears before the root/stem, it
is a prefix, if it appears after the root/stem, it is a suffix.
Based by Katamba (1993:44), an affix is a morpheme, which only occurs when it
is combining to some other morpheme or morphemes such as root or stem or
base. There are two types of affixes:
a). Prefixes: A prefix is an affix combine before a root or a stem or a base like re-,
b). Suffixes: A suffix is an affix combine after a root or a stem or a base like –ly, –
s, -ed, -er, -ist and –in. For example: [kind-ly], [wait-er], [book-s] and [walk-ed].
Words formed by the combination of bound affixes and free morphemes
are the result of the process of affixation. This process of affixation is the one of
the most general process in language. Parera (1994:18) says : “proses afiksasi
terjadi apabila sebuah morfem terikat dibubuhkan atau dilekatkan pada sebuah
morfem bebas secara urutan lurus”. (affixation process occurs when a bound
morpheme attached to free morpheme or word). While Montler (1986:119) state
that affixation is the linguistic process use to form new words (neologisms) by
adding morpheme (affixes) at the beginning (prefixation), the middle (infixation)
or the end (suffixation) of words.
Affixation is one of the most productive ways of word building throughout
the history of English. The main function of affixation in Modern English is to
form one part of speech from another; the secondary function is to change the
lexical meaning of the same part of speech.
Affixation is generally defined as the formation of words by adding
derivational affixes to different types of bases.
3.1.1 Derivational Affixes
Derivational can produce new words from existing word into two ways.
First, derivational can change the part of speech of a word, thereby permitting it to
function differently in a sentence; true is an adjective¸ truly is an adverb, truth a
noun. Second, derivational can change the meaning of a word: true and untrue
The basic function of derivational processes is to enable the language user
to make new lexemes. Lexemes belong to lexical categories such as Noun, Verb,
and Adjective and the derived lexemes may belong to a different category than
their bases.
3.1.2 Inflectional Affixes
Inflectional is creating a different form of the same word by changing
neither part of speech nor meaning, but only refine and give extra grammatical
information about the already existing meaning of a word. Thus ca and cats are
both nouns and have the same thing, but cats, with the plural morpheme –s,
contains the additional information that there are more than one of these things.
As we saw above, the primary distinction between inflection and
derivation is a functional one: derivation creates new lexemes, and inflection
serves to create different forms of the same lexeme.
3.2 Reduplication
A special kind of affixation is the attachment of a complete or partial
copy of the base as a prefix or a suffix is called reduplication. Reduplication is the
repetition of a syllable, a morpheme or a word to form a word and also deals with
a type of compound in which both elements are the same or only slightly
different.
Reduplication is either total reduplication if all of a morpheme is double or a
reduplication and partial reduplication. An example of total reduplication is found
in the Indonesian word to form the plurals of nouns;
Examples: rumah (house) - rumah - rumah (houses)
Buku (book) - buku – buku (books)
3.3 Modification
Modification is the one of the processes in forming word. There are two
kinds of modification; zero modification and internal modification.
In zero modification, the morphemes do not undergo only changes in some
situation. It can be used in alternative form either as singular to plural or as
infinitive to past and past participle.
Example: - to change singular to plural
Singular plural
deer deer
Internal modification is the internal changes of a base to form a word.
Besides adding am affix to a morpheme or copying all or part of the morpheme
(reduplication) to make a morphological distinction, it is also possible to make
morpheme internal modification.
Examples:
1. The usual pattern of plural formation in English is to add an inflectional
morpheme, but some plurals make an internal modification.
man - men
2. The usual pattern of past and past participle formation is to add an affix, but
some verbs also an internal change.
bite - bit - bitten
drink - drank - drunk
3.4 Suppletion
Suppletion is the impossibility of showing a general rule or a regular
relationship between the base and derived word. Languages that employ
morphological processes to form words will normally have a regular, productive
way of doing so according to one or more of the processes. They might also have
some smaller classes of words that irregular because they mark the same
morphological distinction b y another of these processes. Sometimes, the same
distinction can be represented by two different words which don’t have any
systematic difference in form; they are exceptions to all of the processes. These
completely irregular situation is called suppletion and usually only occurs in a few
words of a language.
Examples:
good - better - best
bad - worse - worst
many - more - much
3.5 Compounding
In many languages, compounding is the most frequently used way of
making new lexemes. In simple cases, compounding consists of the combination
of two words, in which one word modifies the meaning of the other. The
compounds, as the result of the combining of the base forms, may be nouns,
verbs, adjectives, adverbs, or other form classes.
Examples:
1. Compound Noun
breakfast (verb + noun)
software (adjective + noun)
2. Compound Verbs
blockbust (noun + verbs)
CHAPTER IV
THE ANALYSIS OF AFFIXATION IN DANIEL DEFOE
“ROBINSON CRUSOE”
The general term for bound morphemes that are added to roots and stems
is affix. If an affix appears before the root/stem, it is a prefix, if it is appears after
the root/stem, it is a suffix. In his book The Grammar of Word, Geert Booij (2005)
defines that prefixes consists of 16 parts; micro-, tele-, ad-, con, de-, per-, pro-,
trans-, over-, re-, a-, un-, dis-, en-, an-, and also suffixes that consists of 18 parts;
graph, dom, ible, able, ic, al, ial, ize, ish, er, en, less, age, scope,
-tion, -ity, -ness, -ly.
4.1 Description of Prefixes
Based on Booij (2005:320), Prefix is affix that attached at the left edge of
a stem.
4.1.1 Prefix a-
The prefix a- appears before consonant stems, and prefix a- does not
change the form when it is attached to these base forms:

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
5.1 Conclusion
After analyzed the data that taken from Ronbinson Crusoe by Daniel
Defoe it can be conclude that:
First, affixes in English can be subdivided into prefix and suffix. In the
novel ‘Ronbinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe’ there are 6 kinds of prefixes with the
total number of prefixes are 97 and 10 kinds of suffixes with the total number of
suffixes are 132.
Second, Prefix which are represent 42,4 % of whole affixes, followed by 6
kinds of prefixes (a-, dis-, in-, over-, re-, tele-,).
Third, Suffix which are represent 57,6 % of whole affixes, followed by 11
kinds of suffixes (-able, -al, -age, -en, -er, -ible,, -less, -ly, -ion, - scope, -tion,).
Based on the result above, it can be seen that suffix is the most
dominant type of affixes in a novel ‘Robinson Crusoe By Daniel Defoe’. The most
suffixes change the form and function if they attached to the base forms.
Prefix a-, dis-, in-, over-, re-, tele-, do not change form when they
attached to the base forms. The total number of each prefix in which used in this
novel are: prefix a-:60, prefix dis-:11, prefix in-:4, prefix over-:4, prefix re-:14,
prefix tele-:4,
Suffixes -able, -age, -en, -less, and -scope do not change form when they
attached to the base forms. But suffix –al, -er, -ible, -ion, -ly, -tion changes the
attached to the base form or word in which has consonant /y/ or /p/, or vowel /e/ in
the end of base form. Suffix –ion will change the forms if attached to a base forms
with ended of /e/ and /y/. Suffix -ly change the form when it is attached to the base
form or word in which has consonant /y/ in the end of base form. It will become
vowel /i/. The suffix –tion will become –ion if attaché to a base forms with ended
of consonant /t/. The suffix –tion will become –ion if attaché to a base forms with
ended of consonant /t/. If suffix –tion attached to base forms with ended of
consonants /s/, the suffix will become –ion. The total number of each suffix in
which used in this novel are: suffix able:5, suffix –al:1, suffix –age:2 , suffix
-en:2 , suffix –er:13, suffix –ible:5, suffix –less:1, suffix –ly:73, suffix –ion:13,
suffix –scope:4, suffix -tion:13.
5.2 Suggestion
Affixation is an interesting object to analyze because morphological
process which productive in forming a new word is affixation. In this thesis, the
analysis of affixation is focused on how the form of affixes and suffixes if
attached to the base forms. Hopefully it can give a brief study about affixation in
morphological process particularly to the readers to add their knowledge in
