CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of Study
Acronyms and abbreviations are the element of languages.There is no clear sign when they were started to use but nowadays they cannotbe seperated from any of the modern lanuages.Abreviations and acronyms help people to shorten often longer word formation into a smaller fron often counting few letters.Togive example,United state of America can be abbreviated to USA,leaving out the preposition. Acronym are parts of abbreviation an acronym is an abbreviation formed from the initial components in phrase or a word. Acronym is formed by taking the initial letter of some or all of the words in a phrase or title and reading them as a new word.
An acronym is a word coined by taking the initial letters of the words in a title or phrase and using them as a new word ( Bauer, 1985 : 237) . For example Strategic Arms Limitation Talks gives SALT, Indonesian Palm Oil Conference gives IPOC, International
Security Asistance Force give ISAF.
Word forming a complex expression refering to the name of organization , company or a scientific concept may be reduced to their initialletters alone which together represent sound that from perfectly acceptable syllables and hence can be pronounce as word ( Katamba, 2002).
However , not every abbreviation counts as acronym : to be an acronym the new word must not be pronounce as a series of letters, but as a word. Thus if Value Added Tax is called / vi ei ti/ , that is an abbreviation , but if it is called /vᴂt/ , it has became an acronym.( Bauer , 1985: 237).
Daily news as a mass media , play important rule in producing new words, such as acronym , for example POD : Plan Of Development, WADA : World Anti Doping Agency , ASITA : Association of Indonesian Tour and Travel Agencies, MAS : Malaysia Airlines .( The Jakarta Post).
Word which the user affectively used every day will be known by the speaker and became a vocabulary in that language. Word or acronym that are coming into one language must have a regular rules in order the language becomes structured. The Jakarta Post was one of daily news using English . This daily news is one of the famous English daily news in Indonesia . Acronym as universal item, it is also found in articles in the jakarta post .
In POD and WADA they make the acronym based on the initial letters and it seen customary and it can pronounce as a word, and if we go to the ASITA it is not come from the initial letters, they use two letters begin on the first word and relieve one letter (T), it is happend to convenience of the speakear, if we make abberviation based on begin latter it will be “AITTA”. MAS as acronym have a different way to make it as a new word, they take the letter begin and use the last letter to make this as a new word and it is more easy to pronounce and to rember, because as a brand is important to be familiar to the crowd.
1.2 Problem of the Study
According to the background mentioned above, the problems of the analysis are formulated as follows :
1. How many types of acronym found in The Jakarta Post articles?
2. What are the syllable structure formation of the acronyms found in The Jakarta Post articles?
1.3 Objective of the Study
Objectives of study are to find out the :
1. To describe the types of acronym in The Jakarta Post Article
2. To identify the syllable structural formation of the acronyms in The Jakarta Post article.
1.4 Scope of the Study
The disscusion of this reasearch will be specified on describing the type of acronym and the formation processes of the acronym found in The Jakarta Post article, based on Bauer theory. Articles analysed are published on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 26, 28, 29, and 30 December 2012.
1.5 Significanance of the Study
CHAPTER II
about theabbreviationsandacronyms, such as, Francis Katamba (2002), William O’Grady( 2005) dan Laurie Bauer ( 1985) .Opinion will be a major cornerstone in this study are are opinion from Laurie Bauer (1985) . Meanwhile,the opinions expressedby Francis Katamba (2002), and William O’Grady (2005) Willbe usedto supplement theopinions proposed by Laurie Bauer (1985).
William O’Grady ( 2005 : 137 )Acronym are formed by taking the initial letter of (some or all) the words in a phrase or title and pronouncing them as a word . this type of word formation is especially common in names of organization and in military and scientific terminology.
Abdul Chaer explained , Acronym is the process of formation of a word by way of abbreviating a concept that is realized in the construction of more than a word.
Word formation is a morphological process, supposed to form new words by compounding it or adding prefixes. This term has not special attention in linguistic.
Adams (Adams : 1973) mention the reasons why word formation becomes uninteresting subject to disdcuss, it is difficult to find a general statement about word-formation. Besides, it is connection with non-linguistic world of things and ideas for wich word provide the name and it is equivocal position as between descriptive and historical studies.
(Jackson and Amvela : 2005) By “word-formatin process” we mean the different devices whics are used in English to build new words from existing ones. Each word-formation process will result in the production of specific type of word. Consequently , an understanding of these processes is one way of studying the different types of word that exist in English. Here are the word formation processes :
2.1.1 Compounding
According to O’Grady and Guzman (1996) says it is defined as combination of some
lexical categories such as adjectives, nouns, verbs, or preposition in purpose of constructing a large unit of word, for examples : Facebook from Noun + Noun, come-on from Verb + preposition, Anticlimax from Adjective + Noun.
2.1.2 Borrowing
Hatch and Brown (1995)It is all language-borrowed word from other language , for
example : Democracy drived from greek language demos and cartos, Yogurt ( a kind of drink wich is fermented from milk) it is from Turkish.
2.1.3 Coinage
O’Grady and Guzman ( 1996) says a word may be produced by hand writing or by
generally in industrial field that need a latest and eye-catching name for goods, for example, brand name (the first product name) sometimes become so widely used that they are accepred as generic terms and generalized into the other product name : xerox for photo copy, Vaseline for hand and body lotion, Rinso for detergent, ect.
2.1.4 Blending
Hatch and Brown ( 1995) says it is taking only the beginning of one word and joining it to the end of the other word. Some examples of bending can be seen : Brunch,from breakfast- luch,Motel from Motor – Hotel,Smog from Smoke-Fog.
2.1.5 Clipping
O’Grady and Guzman (1996) says clipping is a process where a polysyllabic word is eliminated it is one or more syllable so that it becomes shorter.
Allan (1986) in his book divides three categories of clipping, they are :
a. Foreclipping, are those with the first part of the original word cut off , for examples : Burger for hamburger, phone for telephone.
b. Backclipping , where the end of the original has been shorn off, for examples : lab for laboratory, demo for demonstration.
2.1.6 Backformation
O’Grady and Guzman (1996) says to make a new word by deleting actual affix from
other word in a language is called “BackFormation”, here are some examples of banck formation , for examples : housekeep from housekeeper, boigraph from biography.
2.1.7 Inflection
Word class or meaning , there are some kinds of inflection :
b. Plura suffixes /-en/ which are added to noun e.g : child ( children)
c. Past tense morpheme /-ed/ which are addedd to verbs e.g : watch ( watched)
2.1.8 Derivation
O’Grady and Guzman (1996) state that a process when a word is created where its
meaning and/or its category is different from its base by adding an affix is called derivation. Here are examples of this kond of word formation process :
a. Noun to Adjective : boy + ish ( boyish ) b. Verb to Noun : sing + er ( singer)
c. Adjective to adverb : happy + ly ( happily)
2.1.9 Ciliticization
Some words are enable to stand alone as independent forms for phonological reasons. Such elements, called clitics, must be attached to another word in the sentence, there are some example of cliticization :
a. I’m leaving now b. They’re here now.
2.1.10 Reduplication
Reduplication duplicates all or part of the base to which it applies to mark a grammatical or semantic contrast. Furthermore, there are two kinds of this kind word formation process, full reduplication and partial one.Example of full reduplication in Indonesian :
a. Orang (man) ( orang-orang (men)
2.1.11 Abbreviation
According to Kridalaksana (2007) abbreviation is a process of putting off one or some parts of lexeme or a combination of lexemes so it becomes a new word form.sometimes abbreviations carry over into spoken language, for example:
There are two kinds of abbreviation, they are: a. Initialism
Intialism is a type of abbreviation formed by the initial letters of the words and read them by spelling each word, for example: UN for United Nations.
b. Acronym
Acronym is formed by taking the initial letters of some or all of the words in a phrase or title and reading them as a word, for example: NATO for North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (O’Grady and Guzman, 1996).
2.2 Acronym
Laurie Bauer ( 1985) an acronym is a word coined by taking the initial letters of the word in a title or phrase and using them as new word.for example Strategic Arms Limitation Talks gives SALT. However, not every abbreviation counts as an acronym : to be an acronym
The analysis is based on Bauer Theory on acronym. Acronyming forming processed can be devided into two :
(1) Forming processed acronym by deciding factor whit the “ initial letters”of the pharase will be taken include, such as : (a) EAS abreviated from “ East Asia Summit” ( 2 December 2012), (b) IPA abreviated from “ Indonesian Petroleum assosiation “(20 Decemner 2012), (c) TAW abreviated from “ Terrain awareness warning system “ , (d) AGO abreviated from “Attorney General Office “ ( 11 December 2012) IPOC abreviated from “Indonesian Palm Oil Conference “ ( 1 December 2012)
(2) Forming Processed acronyms by the lack of predictability,where the letters are not strictly speaking initial letters in the words in a phrase, such as (a) USADA abreviated from “ Usanti Doping Agency “( 29 December 2012), (b) KOICA abreviated from “Korea International Coorperation Commands”(28 December 2012) , (c) NORAD abreviated fron “ North America Aerospace Commans “ (27 December 2012), ( d) ANEX abreviated from “ Asean News Excanghe.
(3) The analysis of syllable structure of acronym based on Kiparskys theory, he described the string of syllable which is good or bad. Common or good rythm according to kiparski was, the combination of phonemes arranged become a syllable such as:
VCVexample : ASA ( Asian Soccer Academy), CVCexample : CAR ( Capital Adequa
2.3 Previous Research
Studies of acronyms and abbreviations in written media ever done before. Authors found a thesis written by Ayu Indra Pratwi (2008) the Faculty of Cultural Studies, Universitas Indonesia student,regardingthe abbreviations contained in the magazine from the teen magazinesGadis in 2007. Ayu describe patterns of abbreviations and acronyms contained in Gadismagazine and which dominant patterns in use in the magazine. Of these studies showed
that stands in Gadis magazine in 2007 classified in to 2 patterns. Meanwhile, the acronym in Gadis magazine in 2007 can be grouped or classified into 13 patterns. And to prove that he has
CHAPTER III
METHOD OF THE STUDY
There are some different methods can be applied in order to do a research or writing. For example : library research, field reserch, experiment,ect. This time on these circumstances, the writer of this thesis used qualitative descriptive descriptive analysis, as we may know that the data used by the writer in writing this thesis are taken from written text. The source of data is obtained from article in The Jakarta Post newspaper published on December 2012.
3.1 Reaserch Design
The writer use the descriptive method in conduct the research. This research is going to determine the nature of how a new expression is created, in this case, the specific situation is dealing with the acronym that has found in The Jakarta Post article. Thus , the aim of descriptive study in this study is to tell how many types of acronym found in The Jakarta Post article and what are the structural formation that the writer have found in the article. I would rather seek information about the acronym using in The Jakarta Post 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15,16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30 December 2012.
So it means that the insrument of collecting required data are the article from The Jakarta Post daily news . She will list down all the acronym that she has found and use the data for the analysis and will used the acronym as her data to do her works.
3.2 The Instrument of Collecting Data
3.3 Procedur of Analysing The Data
After collect all the newspaper, the writter find out the acronym in all article in The Jakarta Post dailynewsand list down all the acronym, here the writer will mention the procedurs :
a. First , collect all The Jakarta Post dailynews from December 2012 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30)
b. Second, the writer read all the article on The Jakarta Post, and find out the acronym from all article in The Jakarta Post daily news.
c. Third, after the writer have found all the acronym, then list down all the acronym and keep it as the data for the research.
d. And continue to the forth step grouping and classifying the acronym according to their types, in here the writer use Laurie Buer theory, Buer mention, she devide acronym into two types :
1. Forming processed acronym by deciding factor whit the “ initial letters”of the pharase will be taken include, such as : (a) SIR abreviated from “ Standart Indonesian Rubber “( 14 December 2012), (b) IPA abreviated from “ Indonesian Petroleum assosiation “(20 Decemner 2012), (c) TAW abreviated from “ Terrain awareness warning system “ , (d) ATC abreviated from “ Air Trafic Control “ ( 17 December 2012) IPOC abreviated from “Indonesian Palm Oil Conference “ ( 1 December 2012)
e. Analyzing the syllable structure
4 . ANALYSIS AND FINDING
The concept that authors used to analyze the concept of Laurie Bauer (1985). Based on these concepts can be concluded that an abbreviation can be one letters or a combination of several letters. Letter or combination of letters that can be pronounced as spelled misuse by letter and read as a word.
Acronym may occur due to the perpetuation of the letters in a word or few. The letter may consist of a single letter or combination of several letters. From the data that is analyzed in The Jakarta Post daily find two types acronym.
Acronym found in The Jakarta Post newspaper article in 2012 will classified based on their type. The data has found in the article published by From the data in The Jakarta Post published on 2012, all the acronym has taken was from the English acronym.The authors will conducted classified or grouping the data by type, that is based on the initials stands and unpredictable.
As explained in the introductory chapter, in the manage the data is, first author mark the words that the author assumes that is acronym, after getting acronym words contained in the article in the Jakarta Post newspaper writer then registering these words into two types types of acronym ,initials and unpredictable.
4.1 Analysis Data
Theanalysisconducted by the authorsthe data, the writer found 52acronymusedas data.
of acronym is initial letters and unpredictable. After that, it will be described again acronym based structural formationnya. The following will describe the results of the analysis by type and the acronym structural formation. The data as follow ,
