CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
Communication is very important. Human needs a means of communication to fulfill the social needs. Language is one of the means of communication. With the communication, human will be able to interact each other. The development of language relates to how people use language in their activities. In their social life they use certain language for communication. Usually language that they can understand is representing certain language in their community. As a result, people can not be separated from language use in their communication.
To support the communication, nowadays variations of media are developed including electronic media to the printed one. Printed media provide information which can be read by the users, for example: newspaper, letter, magazine, etc. On the other hand, electronic media provide information which can be seen and heard by the users. They are television, radio, radar, telephone, computer, etc.

system is developed and maintained by Microsoft. Windows uses a graphical user interface to make it easier for people to use the computer.
There are some special terms or words in computer program, for instance, we often look at the term “bookmark”. If we look the word at the dictionary, we cannot find it, but most people know about it. Bookmark derives from the word ‘book’ and ‘mark’. There is morphological process of how the word “bookmark” is formed. The first the word is trimmed in the end of word. It remains the word ’book-’, while the second word is trimmed in the front of the word and remains the word ’-mark’. The word ’book’ and ’mark’ is then joined into a word ‘’bookmark”. It means the electronic note of the browser, which contains addresses of place. The other example is term “auto text”. Auto text is formed by the word ’auto’ and ’text’. There is morphological process of how the word “auto text” is formed. The first word is trimmed in the end of word and it remains the word ’auto-’, while the second word is trimmed in the front of the word and remains the word ’-text’. The word ’auto’ and ’text’ is then joined becomes a word “auto text”. It means a set of assignments in the form of name statements.
The new word formation will develop according to social needs that can make easier to communicate with the others. The new word formation will become the fair matter. In this research, the writer will try to analyze the process of new word formation especially on the compounding words in Windows program.
B. Previous Study
In this research, the writer is not the first person who analyses about morphological process, but it does not mean that the writer only plagiarizes the other research. As a description, the writer will show the previous study.
The research that relates to the writers study has been done by Hartini (2005) entitled “Morphological Analysis on the Internet” on her research. She analyzed word formation and the meaning of the words in internet.
This research is different from the above research. Based on the previous research, the writer tries to analyze new word formation in the windows program which has not been conducted by another research. The other research is done by Hidayati (2004) entitled “Slang Use by Prostitute Ticket’s Scalper in Kopeng (Morphological and Semantic Analysis). She analyzed word formation and the meaning of the words used by prostitute ticket’s scalper in Kopeng.
C. Problem Statement

1. What are the types of compounding words in the Windows XP program based on the theory of morphology?
2. What are the meanings of the words in Windows XP program?
D. Limitation of the Problem
It is important to limit the area of the study to concern on one object of study and to get comprehension deeply.
In conducting this research, the writer limits the problems that are going to be discussed. This research deals only analyses on the compounding words in the Windows XP program.
E. The Objective of Study
Based on research, the writer has some objectives as follows:
1. To describe the types of compounding words used in Windows XP program. 2. To explain the meaning of the compounding words in Windows XP program.
F. Benefit of the Study
The writer expects this research would provide some benefits that are as follows:
1. Theoretically
2. Practically
The study will increase the knowledge on understanding about new word formation in windows XP program.
G. Research Paper Organization
The writer organizes this research paper in order to make easier to understand. There are five chapters in this research paper:
Chapter I is introduction consisting of background of the study, previous of the study, the problem statement, limitation of the problem, objectives of the study, and benefit of the study.
Chapter II is underlying theory consisting of the history of windows XP program, morphological concept, word formation process the notion of compounding, and concept of semantics.
Chapter III is the research method consisting of type research, object of the study, source of the data, method of collecting data, and technique of data analysis.
Chapter IV is data analysis. The research presents the data and data analysis in the chapter.
