ABSTRACT

TRIJAN E. A. FAAM 2015. Derivational Process in Matbat Language (Supervised By Hayat M. Ohorella and Fausiah Sriyuliyana Natsir)

Derivational process Learning aimed to master the system of word constructions. To learened second language or foreign language, the language learners usually start with learn its words class. These words mostly constructed from some elements morpheme. This case must be understood in order to the language learner avoid misplacement of these elements in sentence. Misplacement in sentence will cause misunderstanding. So, learning the word element shape to be a sentence is very important. In this resarch the writer tried to found out derivational process in Matbat language. The objective of this research was to investigate derivational process in Matbat language.

This research was held under descriptive qualitative method in wich come along with grounded theory in accordance with the existence of derivation. The data sources of this research taken from native speakers of Matbat language that exist in Sorong town. The procedures of this research the writer began with made some words lists which contain derivational process that contributing 10 words and distributed the native speakers of Matbat language. The words lists were written in Indonesian language. Those who were going to work on the work list were 4 persons. After the writer divided these words lists, the informant asked to translate these words list in Matbat language. After that the writer analyzed all of data.

The data that show derivational process in Matbat language are adjective to verb, adjective to noun, and verbs to noun.

ABSTRAK

TRIJAN E. A. FAAM, 2015 . Proses Derivasi Dalam Bahasa Matbat Misool (Pembimbing: Hayat M. Ohorella dan Fausiah Sriyuliyana Natsir)

Proses belajar derivasi bertujuan untuk menguasai sistem konstruksi kata. Untuk mempelajari bahasa kedua atau bahasa asing, pelajar bahasa biasanya mulai dengan mempelajari kelas kata-katanya. Kata-kata ini sebagian besar dibangun dari beberapa elemen morfem. Kasus ini harus dipahami dalam rangka untuk bahasa pembelajar menghindari salah penempatan elemen dalam kalimat. Salah penempatan dalam kalimat akan menyebabkan kesalahpahaman. Jadi, belajar bentuk kata elemen menjadi sebuah kalimat yang sangat penting. Dalam penelitian ini penulis mencoba untuk menemukan proses derivatif dalam bahasa Matbat. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki proses derivatif dalam bahasa Matbat.

Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif dalam yang datang bersama dengan teori membumi sesuai dengan keberadaan derivasi. Sumber data penelitian ini diambil dari penutur asli bahasa Matbat yang ada di kota Sorong. Prosedur penelitian ini penulis mulai dengan membuat daftar beberapa kata yang mengandung proses derivasi yang memberikan kontribusi 10 kata-kata dan membagikan penutur asli bahasa Matbat. Daftar kata-kata itu tertulis dalam bahasa Indonesia. Mereka yang akan bekerja pada daftar pekerjaan adalah 4 orang. Setelah penulis membagikan daftar kata-kata ini, informan diminta untuk menerjemahkan daftar kata-kata ini dalam bahasa Matbat. Setelah itu penulis menganalisis semua data.

Data yang menunjukkan proses derivatif dalam bahasa Matbat adalah kata sifat untuk kata kerja, kata sifat untuk nomina, dan kata kerja untuk nomina.

A. Background of the Research

Language is a means of communication between

human beings with one another, while language is someone's

identity to be known by others that he was from the area. In

language there are some studies to be observed by the

researchers, they are: Pragmatic, Syntax, Linguistics,

Semantics, and morphology. Morphology was a branch of linguistics

that studies treasury / change words. In the science of morphology is divided

into two parts, namely Inflection and derivational. on this occasion the author

examines how is derivation process in Matbat language.

Why the author doing research on derivational language Matbat

Misool, because derivation is a change of word class which added by

morphemes particular, on the other hand also the derivation shall have the

meanings is change the basic words into a word that implies / have meaning if

the word is added by morphemes as a complementary word

above the writer took the title it is Derivational Process

in Matbat Language

The examples of derivational process in Matbat language

are as follow:

18

Page 19: Derivational process in Matbat Language

Adjective Suffix Noun

Nuhoi

(aware)

Lotem Nuhoilotem

(awareness)

Fi

(good)

Lotem Filotem

(goodness)

Morpheme is still very strange to some language

learners. However human is have already applied morphemes

in their daily comunication because each morpheme exist in

language that human use in their comunication, and

automatically to make a morpheme become a word, they

need a derivational process.

To learn second language or foreign language, the

language learner usually starts with learn its word class. It

aims to help the learners to arrange the sentence, which the

sentence is a language element that used to make

comunication, convey the idea, feeling, desire, and etc.

Every word in all language never stands alone. These

words always constructed from some elements morpheme.

This case must be understood in order to the language

learner avoid misplacement of these elements in sentence.

Misplacement in sentence will cause misunderstanding. So,

learning the word shape element to be a sentence is very

important.

19

Page 20: Derivational process in Matbat Language

Same with another local language, in Misool Matbat

language found derivational process. Misool are Matbat and

Macap language spoken principally on Raja Ampat especially

the island of Misool Island. In Misool Matbat language there

are many dialects, among of them are Limlas, Folley,

Tomolol, Kapacol, Magey, Aduwei, Salafen, and also Atkari

dialects. Although these languages come from the same

ethnic, but in several aspects it is very different whether it is

from phonology aspect, syntax, structure, or morphology

aspects. These differences are caused by intonation and

words structure that used by the different people.

B. Problem Statement of the Research

Based on the background above, the writer formulates a

research question as below: “How is derivational process

between adjective to verb, adjective to noun and verb to

noun in Matbat language?”

C. Objectives of the Research

Based on the problem statement, the objective of the

research was to investigate derivational process in Matbat

language.

20

Page 21: Derivational process in Matbat Language

D. Significance of the Research

This studied was expected to be contributive on

theoretical and practical aspects. Theoretically study was

hoped to examine the theory concern of morphology, most

particularly of derivational theory. Practical study is hopefully

can be taken into granted as one of references by those who

concern on language study. This study can be used as

information by students or language learners who have been

studying about morphology.

The results of the research are expected to be useful

information for the people who want to learn structure variety

and for the English departments teachers in order that it can

be applied as a phrase book in comparison of language.

E. Scope of Research

To avoid the broader discussion, the scope of study

restricted on derivational process in Matbat language,

covering the change of words class these are: adjective to

verb, adjective to noun, and verbs to noun.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

A. Previous Study

There have been a great number of researchers who

conducted the study in line with the current issue. Kesuma

(2009) on her research ‘The Morphemic Shifts in Translation

of John Shors beneath a Marble Sky into Taj Mahal by Merhya

Rose’ explained that morphemic shifts are one of shift that

used to keep the meaning still constant in the target

language.

Morphemic shift consist of shift from morpheme to word

and morpheme to phrase and there is no shift from

morpheme to word and shift from morpheme to phrase. Shift

from morpheme to word occurred in prefix: un-, im-, re-, -dis,

22

Page 23: Derivational process in Matbat Language

under-, out-, a-, extra-, over-, and suffix: -ing, -ly. –s, -er, -less,

-est, -ed (suffix which showed the past of the meaning form).

The morpheme which added in the beginning (prefix) and in

the end (suffix) of the word in Source Language (SL) into the

target language (TL) can be change the word class.

According to Zapata (2007: 2), in ‘Types of Words and

Word-Formation Processes in English’ explained that the

smallest units of language that have a meaning or a

grammatical function and form words or parts of words are

called morphemes. In writing, individual morphemes are

usually represented by their graphic form, or spelling; e.g., -

es, -er, un-, re-; or by their graphic form between bracers,

{ }; e.g., {-es}, {-er}, {un-}, {re-}. The branch of linguistics

in charge of studying the smallest meaningful units of

language (i.e., morphemes), their different forms, the internal

structure of words, and the processes and rules by which

words are formed is called morphology. The types of

morphemes are depending on the way morphemes occur in

an utterance, they are grouped into two large groups: free

morphemes and bound morphemes.

Aronoff and Fudeman (1997) in ‘Morphology and

Morphologycal Analysis’ argue that a major way in which

morphologists investigate words, their internal structure, and

23

Page 24: Derivational process in Matbat Language

how they are formed is through the identification and study of

morphemes, often defined as the smallest linguistic pieces

with a grammatical function. This definition is not meant to

include all morphemes, but it is the usual one and a good

starting point. A morpheme may consist of a word, such as

hand, or a meaningful piece of a word, such as the –ed of

looked, that cannot be divided into smaller meaningful parts.

Another way in which morphemes have been defined is as a

pairing between sound and meaning. We have purposely

chosen not to use this definition. Some morphemes have no

concrete form or no continuous form, as we will see, and

some do not have meanings in the conventional sense of the

term.

B. Some Pertinent Ideas

1. Definition of Morphology

Radford (2004) defines morphology is the study of

how words are formed out of smaller units (called

morphemes). Morphology is at the conceptual centre of

24

Page 25: Derivational process in Matbat Language

linguistics. This is not because it is the dominant sub

discipline, but because morphology is the study of word

structure, and words are at the interface between

phonology, syntax and semantics.. The same definition

also described by McCarthy (2002: 16) who said that the

area of grammar concerned with the structure of words

and with relationships between words involving the

morphemes that compose them is technically called

morphology, from the Greek word morpheme ‘form,

shape’; and morphemes can be thought of as the minimal

units of morphology.

According to Aronof and Fudeman, that in

‘Morphology and Morphological Analysis’ morph- means

‘shape, form’, and morphology is the study of form or

forms. In biology, morphology refers to the study of the

form and structure of organisms, and in geology it refers

to the study of the configuration and evolution of land

forms. In linguistics, morphology refers to the mental

system involved in word formation or to the branch of

linguistics that deals with words, their internal structure,

and how they are formed.

From the definitions above we can conclude that

morphology is branch of linguistics that studies the word

25

Page 26: Derivational process in Matbat Language

form, the forming process of word and also it’s changing

in forms which creates the difference in function an

meaning

2. Definition of Morpheme

According to Iriskulov (2006: 10) in ‘Theoretical

Grammar of English’ said that the smallest meaningful

unit is called morph. The morphs that have identical

meanings are grouped into one morpheme. It means the

morphs and morphemes are speech and language units

that have both form (or shape) and meanings. The

smallest meaningful unit of language is called a

morpheme while the smallest meaningful unit of speech is

called a morph. There’s a notion of allomorph in

linguistics. By allomorphs the linguists understand the

morphs that have identical meanings and that are

grouped into one morpheme. There may be another

definition of the allomorphs: the variants (or options, or

alternates) of a morpheme are called allomorphs.

In advanced discussion, Radford defined that

morpheme is smaller units of word. Furthermore, Plag

(2002) said that, we can thus decompose complex words

into their smallest meaningful units. These units are called

26

Page 27: Derivational process in Matbat Language

morphemes. For example, employee can be analyzed as

being composed of the verb employ and the ending -ee,

the adjective unhappy can be analyzed as being derived

from the adjective happy. By the attachment of the

element un-, and decolonialization can be segmented into

the smallest parts de-, colony, -al, -ize, and -ation.

3. Kinds of Morphemes

a. Bound and Free Morphemes

Many linguists have explained about

morpheme and they divided it into two types, namely

bound morpheme and free morpheme. The following

are explanation of morpheme according to the

linguist: According to Plag (2002), some morphemes

can occur only if attached to some other

morpheme(s). Such morphemes are called bound

morphemes, in contrast to free morphemes, which do

occur on their own. Some bound morphemes, for

example un-, must always be attached before the

central meaningful element of the word, the so-called

root, stem or base, whereas other bound

morphemes, such as -ity, -ness, or -less, must follow

the root. Using Latin-influenced terminology, un- is

27

Page 28: Derivational process in Matbat Language

called a prefix, -ity a suffix, with affix being the cover

term for all bound morphemes that attach to roots.

According to Zapata (2007 : 2) bound (or

dependent) morphemes are those morphemes

which never occur alone as words but as parts of

words; they must be attached to another

morpheme (usually a free morpheme) in order to

have a distinct meaning; e.g., -er in worker, -er in

taller, -s in walks, -ed in passed, re- as in reappear,

un- in unhappy, undo, ness in readiness, -able in

adjustable;-ceive in conceive, receive, -tain in

contain, obtain, etc. There are two types of bound

morphemes: bound roots and affixes.

a. Bound roots are those bound morphemes which

have lexical meaning when they are attached to

other bound morphemes to form content words;

e.g., -ceive in receive, conceive; -tain in retain,

contain; place- in implacable, placate; cran- in

cranberry, etc. Notice that bound roots can be

prefixed or suffixed to other affixes.

b. Affix the word element is added before, after or

at the root or stem (base form of a word) to

produce a new word.; e.g., -ment in

28

Page 29: Derivational process in Matbat Language

development, en- in enlarge; ’s in John’s; -s in

claps, -ing in studying, etc

Free or independent morphemes are those

morphemes which can occur alone as words and

have a meaning or fulfill a grammatical function;

e.g., man, run, etc. There are two types of free

morphemes.

a. Lexical (content or referential) morphemes are

free morphemes that have semantic content (or

meaning) and usually refer to a thing, quality,

state or action. For instance, in a language,

these morphemes generally take the forms of

nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs; e.g., dog,

Peter, house, build, stay, happy, intelligent,

quickly, always. Actually, lexical morphemes

constitute the larger class of morphemes. They

form the open class of words (or content words)

in a language, i.e., a class of words likely to grow

due to the incorporation of new members into it.

b. Function (al) or grammatical morphemes are

free morphemes which have little or no meaning

on their own, but which show grammatical

relationships in and between sentences. For

29

Page 30: Derivational process in Matbat Language

instance, in a language, these morphemes are

represented by prepositions, conjunctions,

articles, demonstratives, auxiliary verbs,

pronouns; e.g., with, but, the, this, can, who, me.

It should be said that function words are almost

always used in their unstressed form.

According to Adeniyi (2010: 9-10), a bound

morpheme is that morpheme that cannot stand or

occur as an independent word. It has to be

attached to a free morpheme or word to have a

clear meaning. Examples of bound morphemes are

–ment, -en, -ing, -ed, -ness, -ful, mis-, -anti, -less,

etc in the following free morphemes or words.

Government, encouragement, dancing, accepted,

happiness, hopeless, etc. Another name for the

bound morpheme is empty morphemes.

They can also be called grammatical

indicators because they have the tendency to

affect grammar. For example, this sentence:

The lecturer glad praised God. The omission of –

ly in glad renders the sentence ungrammatical.

Grammatically, the sentence should read, “the

lecturer gladly praised God”.

30

Page 31: Derivational process in Matbat Language

Most bound morphemes are grammatical or

functional elements in language. Bound

morphemes are consist of two types. Some bound

morphemes have the ability of changing word class

or forming or generating new words while others

only inflect the word they are added to.

Furthermore, according to McCarthy (2002: 18),

the morphemes in the word helpfulness, not all

have the same status. Help, -ful and -ness are not

simply strung together like beads on a string.

Rather, the core, or starting-point, for the

formation of this word is help; the morpheme -ful is

then added to form helpful, which in turn is the

basis for the formation of helpfulness. In using the

word ‘then’ here, I am not referring to the historical

sequence in which the words help, helpful and

helpfulness came into use; I am talking rather

about the structure of the word in contemporary

English – a structure that is part of the implicit

linguistic knowledge of all English speakers,

whether or not they know anything about the

history of the English language.

31

Page 32: Derivational process in Matbat Language

There are two reasons for calling help the core

of this word. One is that help supplies the most

precise and concrete element in its meaning,

shared by a family of related words like helper,

helpless, helplessness and unhelpful that differ

from one another in more abstract ways. Another

reason is that, of the three morphemes in

helpfulness, only help can stand on its own – that

is, only help can, in an appropriate context,

constitute an utterance by itself. That is clearly not

true of -ness, nor is it true of -ful. (Historically -ful is

indeed related to the word full, but their

divergence in modern English is evident if one

compares words like helpful and cheerful with

other words that really do contain full, such as half-

full and chock-full.) In self-explanatory fashion,

morphemes that can stand on their own are called

free, and ones that cannot are bound.

A salient characteristic of English – a respect

in which English differs from many other languages

– is that a high proportion of complex words are

like helpfulness and un-Clintonish in that they have

a free morpheme (like help and Clinton) at their

32

Page 33: Derivational process in Matbat Language

core. Compare the two columns of words listed at

(1), all of which consist uncontroversial of two

morphemes, separated by a hyphen:

1. Root, Affix, Combining Form

Adeniyi (2010: 13 - 14) said that the term

affixation can be defined as a morphological

process of attaching an element usually called an

affix to the root or base of a word. For example

‘courage’ is a root of a word; when –en is added to

it, it becomes encourage, and when – ment is

added to it, it becomes encouragement. Both –en

and –ment are affixes. But while –en is a prefix (an

element added to the beginning of a word), -ment

is a suffix (an element added to the end of a word).

Thus, the structural formula of a word is (P) B (S)

33

Page 34: Derivational process in Matbat Language

where P and S and prefix and suffix respectively

and they are both optional, B is base and it is

mandatory.

Hence, B is the free morpheme that can stand

on its own. Other examples include:

Un(P)

Comfort B

Able(S)

Un(P)

Educate B

d (S)

Dis(p)

Establish B

Ment (S)

We shall have an elaborate discussion on

affixation in morphological or word formation

processes in subsequently. According to McCarthy

(2002: 20), in the native Germanic portion of the

vocabulary, the root of a complex word is usually

free, from the non-root morphemes in the words

that we have looked at so far, those that precede

the root (like en- in enlarge) are called prefixes,

while those that follow it are called suffixes (like -

ance in performance, -ness in whiteness, and -able

in readable). We have encountered far more

suffixes than prefixes, and that is not an accident:

34

Page 35: Derivational process in Matbat Language

there are indeed more suffixes than prefixes in

English. An umbrella term for prefixes and suffixes

(broadly speaking, for all morphemes that are not

roots) is affix.

Only root morphemes can be free, so affixes

are necessarily bound. We have already noticed

that the morphemes -ful and -ness of helpfulness

cannot stand on their own. At this point, it may

seem to some readers that terminology is

proliferating unnecessarily. If affixes are always

bound, do not ‘bound morpheme’ and ‘affix’ mean

essentially the same thing? Likewise, if roots are

usually free, do we really need both the terms

‘root’ and ‘free morpheme’? The answer lies in the

word ‘usually’ in the previous sentence. Affixes are

indeed always bound, but it is not the case that

roots are always free. A cranberry morpheme can

be thought of as a bound root that occurs in only

one word.

We have so far encountered two main kinds of

complex word: ones with a single free root, and

ones with a single bound root. Is it the case, then,

that a word can contain no more than one root?

35

Page 36: Derivational process in Matbat Language

Certainly not – indeed, such words are very

common; they are compounds, already mentioned

in connection with cranberry morphemes.

Examples are bookcase, motorbike, penknife,

truck-driver.

The point of mentioning compounds again now

is that, if a complex word can be formed out of two

(or more) free roots, it is natural to ask whether a

word can contain two or more bound roots. The

answer is yes – although, in the light of the English

language’s preference for free roots, they are not

nearly as common as ordinary compounds.

Examples of words with two bound roots are

electrolysis, electros copy, microscopy, microcosm,

pachyderm, echinoderm. Other words which, like

cranberry, contain one bound and one free root are

microfilm, electrometer and Sino-Japanese

(assuming that Japanese contains the free root

Japan). It will be evident straight away that these

are mostly not words in common use; in fact, I

would expect few readers of this book to be

familiar with all of them. Unlike ordinary

compounds, these words are nearly all technical

36

Page 37: Derivational process in Matbat Language

terms of scientific vocabulary, coined self-

consciously out of non-English elements, mostly

from Latin and Greek. Because of the big

difference between ordinary compounds and these

learned words, and because of the non- English

character of the bound morphemes that compose

them, many linguists and dictionary-makers

classify these bound morphemes as neither affixes

nor bound roots (such as we encountered in but

place them in a special category of combining

forms.

Given that native English words generally

contain free roots, we might expect that, if a word

made up of combining forms is in common use, the

morphemes within it should tend to acquire the

status of free morphemes. This expectation turns

out to be correct. For example, the word

photograph existed, as a learned technical term

composed of combining forms, before the word

photo; but photo must now be classified as a free

morpheme. Other combining forms that have more

recently ‘acquired their freedom’ are micro- and

37

Page 38: Derivational process in Matbat Language

macro- (as in at a micro level or a macro scale) and

netro-, as applied to music or fashion.

b. Derivational Morpheme

a.The Understanding of Derivational

According to Zapata (2007), based on the function

affixes fulfill in the language, affixes are classified into

derivational affixes (derivational morphemes or

derivations) and inflectional affixes (inflectional

morphemes or inflections). Derivational affixes are

morphemes that create (or derive) new words, usually

by either changing the meaning and/or the part of

speech. In English, derivational morphemes can be

either prefixes or suffixes. For example, un-+ happy

(adj.) = unhappy (adj.); re-+ classify (v) = reclassify

(v.); by-+ product (n.) = by-product.

Cahyono in (Damanik, 2009:23) divides bound

morpheme into two, they are derivational morpheme

and inflectional morpheme. Derivational morpheme is

bound morpheme creating a new word by changing

either the meaning (example, happy vs unhappy) or the

38

Page 39: Derivational process in Matbat Language

part of speech (syntactic category, example: ripe [adj]

vs ripen [verb] or both. While inflectional morpheme is

a bound morpheme creating a different form of the

same word by changing either part of speech or

meaning, but only refine and give extra grammatical

information about the already existing meaning of a

word. For example, Cat and Cats are both nouns and

refer the same thing, but Cats with the plural

morpheme –s, contains the additional information that

there are more than one of these things.

Spencer and Zwicky (2001: 35) unlike inflectional

morphology, which specifies the grammatical functions

of words in phrases without altering their meaning,

derivational morphology or word formation is so named

because it usually results in the derivation of a new

word with new meaning.

Adeniyi (2010: 11-13) explain that a derivational

morpheme which is also called a derived morpheme is a

type of bound morpheme which generates or creates

new words by either changing the class of word or

forming new words. This change in word class, caused

by the addition of a derivational bound morpheme, is

not restricted to a particular class of words. It affects all

39

Page 40: Derivational process in Matbat Language

classes of words. This transformation does not,

however, affect the lexical meaning of the base forms

of the free morpheme. That is, the lexical meanings of

the core or base or free morpheme remain unchanged.

These examples of derivational are common in the

English language:

1. Verbs to Nouns

Verb suffix

Noun

break age Breakagegovern ment Governme

ntPay Ee Payee

2. Adjectives to Nouns

Adjectiv

Suffix Noun

e

humble ity Humility

3. Adjectives to Verbs

Adjectiv

e

Suffix Verb

weak En Weaken

liquid Ize Liquidiz

e

solid Fy Solidify

Furthermore, it is also explained that, derivational

bound morpheme has features as follows:

41

Page 42: Derivational process in Matbat Language

1) They change the meaning or word class e.g govern +

ment government.

2) They indicate semantic relations in words e.g. the

morpheme – ful in hopeful does not relate to any

other word in the language except the free

morpheme hopeful.

3) It operates a close circuit kind of relationship. For

example, some bound morphemes like ‘hood’

carefully choose their root; they do not collocate with

every other word in the language.

4) It occurs before the inflectional bound morphemes

they should co-occur. For example, teach + er

teacher + s teachers (verb) (bound morpheme) (a

new word) inflectional Thus, ‘er’ comes before ‘s’.

In the examples given above, the derivational

morphemes resulted in a change from one word class to

the other. This is what derivational morphology is all

about

b.Kinds of Derivation

According to Spencer and Zwicky (2001:43-46),

derivation refers to any process which results in the

creation of a new word. Some types of derivation do not

fit into derivational paradigms. It is well known that

42

Page 43: Derivational process in Matbat Language

words may be missing analyzed when a phonological

sequence identical with that of an affix is misperceived

as that affix. The result is that a previously nonexistent

underlying base is extracted and added to the

permanent lexical store via a process known as back

formation. They also categorized the characterization

partially fits several other types of word formation

which need to be distinguished from regular,

grammatically determined derivation in two types, they

are:

1.Featural Derivation

Featural derivation does not change the

category of the underlying base, but operates on the

values of inherent features. In most languages which

support natural gender, the default or unmarked form

is masculine. A convenient technical notation of the

fact that unmarked as masculine nouns may refer to

males or femalesis [+Feminine, +Masculine]. This

requires a Jakobsonian principle of markedness

whereby in cases of conflict, the surface realization

will default to that of the unmarked category,

masculine. Thus the Russian noun student ‘student’

43

Page 44: Derivational process in Matbat Language

may refer to females or males, but all grammatical

agreement will be the same as purely masculine

nouns like brat ‘brother’, otec ‘father’, which cannot

refer to females.

Default masculines like student differ from pure

masculines in that they are susceptible to

feminization. This requires some rule on the order of

student(ø) →student-k(a) which converts the default

masculine noun into a purely feminine one and marks

this fact by transferring the base from declension I,

marked in the nominative by -ø, to declension II,

marked in the nominative by -a. All that is required

grammatically and semantically of this rule is the

toggling of the masculine feature from positive to

negative: that is: [+Feminine + Masculine] →

[+Feminine - Masculine].

Converts the lexical description of the base from

unmarked masculine to marked feminine like the

purely feminine nouns sestra ‘sister’ and mat’

‘mother’, which may refer only to females and not to

males. The addition of any feature [+Feminine] would

be inappropriate since applies only to nouns with

44

Page 45: Derivational process in Matbat Language

natural gender: that is, those which inherently

(lexically) possess lexical gender features.

2.Functional Derivation

Kuryłowicz in (Spencer and Zwicky, 2001: 45)

said that first distinguished rules which add features

to the underlying base from those which merely

change its category. For example: (a) recruit: recruit-

er, (b) recruit: recruit-ee, (c) bake: bak-ery.

Kuryłowicz referred to this type of derivation as

“derivation lexical,” because the derivate differed

semantically from its base.

3.Transposition

According to Marchand in (Spencer and Zwicky,

2001: 46) said that another type of derivation which

reflects a simple change of category without any

functional change is transposition, for examples:

a. walk: walk-ing (V → N),

b. new: new-ness (A → N),

c. budget: budget-ary (N → A)

45

Page 46: Derivational process in Matbat Language

Transposition introduces no argument structure,

but simply shifts a stem from one category to

another, sometimes marking the fact affixally,

sometimes not. The definition of dryness must

coincide with that of dry in all essential respects,

since, unlike bake and baker; its reference is identical

to that of its base. The same is true of all the

relations represented in (9). Whether transpositions

are marked by real or zero affixation is a separate

issue, bound up with the general issue of the nature

of zero morphology.

4.Expressive Derivation

Expressive derivation does not change the

referential scope of its input; however, expressive

derivation also does not change the lexical category

of the base. As The formal variation reflects

subjective perceptions of the speaker whether he

perceives the rain to be relatively light, beneficial, or

pleasant.

There is no obvious means of relegating

expressive derivation to any of the other three types.

The categories involved are not found elsewhere in

46

Page 47: Derivational process in Matbat Language

grammar as are functional categories, nor are they

inherent lexical categories like gender. Since

expressive derivation does not involve a category

change, it cannot be a form of transposition. It

therefore remains mysterious in many respects.

C. Conceptual Framework

CHAPTER III

METHOD OF RESEARCH

A. Research Method and Design

In this research, the writer used descriptive qualitative

method. According to Beverley (1998), Qualitative research is

concerned with developing explanations of social

phenomena. That is to say, it aims to help us to understand

the world in which we live and why things are the way they

are.

This research has designed into natural linguistics which

explored derivational process in Matbat language. All data

was taken objectively and based on the fact or phenomena

empirically. So, it absolutely describes factual and natural

data obtained in the field.

B. Subject of Research

The sources of data in this research will be taken from

native speakers of Matbat language. The criteria of

informants in this research are:

a) Native Speaker

49

Page 50: Derivational process in Matbat Language

b) Interviewer

C. Procedure of Research

In this way, writer made some words lists which contain

derivational process that contributing 10 words and

distributed the native speakers of Matbat language. The

words lists were written in Indonesian language. Those who

were going to work on the work list were 04 persons. After

the writer divided these words lists, the informant asked to

translate these words list in Matbat language. After that the

writer analyzed all of data.

D. Instrument of Research

Instruments used in conducting this study is a list of words

in the language Matbat and informants are natives Matbat

rate as the main instrument of qualitative research

E. Data Analysis

To analyze the data, the writer would like to employ Miles

and Huberman’s( 1984 ) Qualitative Data Analysis such as:

50

Page 51: Derivational process in Matbat Language

Miles and Huberman (Emzir, 2010) states that there are three kinds of

qualitative data analysis activities, namely:

1. Data Reduction

The data obtained in the field is quite a lot, it is necessary to note carefully

and in detail. Data reduction means: summarizing, choose the basic things,

focus on things that are important, look for themes and patterns and

discard unnecessary. Reduced data will give a clear picture and facilitate

researchers to conduct further data collection, and look for it when needed.

Data reduction can be assisted by an electronic device such as a computer,

to give the code on certain aspects. With the reduction, the researchers

summarize, pick up important data, make categorization, based uppercase,

lowercase letters and numbers. Data that is not important discarded.

2. Data Display

Once the data is reduced, then the next step is mendisplaykan data.Display

data in qualitative research can be done in the form of: a brief description,

the chart, the relationship between categories, flowchart and so on. Miles

and Huberman (1984) states: "the most frequent form of qualitative

research data display for the data in the fitting has been narative tex"

means: that is most often used to present data in qualitative research with

narrative text. In addition in the form of a narrative, the data display can

also be a graph, matrix, network (networks). Social phenomena are

complex, and dynamic so that what is found when entering the field and

after the last for a while in the field will experience growth data.

51

Page 52: Derivational process in Matbat Language

Researchers should always examine what has been discovered at the time

of entering a field that is still hypothetical it develops or not. If after a long

time to enter the field turns always supported the hypothesis formulated at

the time the data were collected in the field, then the hypothesis is proven

and will evolve into a grounded theory. Grounded theory is a theory that

found inductively, based on the data found in the field, and then tested

through ongoing data collection. When the patterns were found to have

been supported by the data for the study, then the pattern into a standard

pattern that is no longer changed. The pattern is further didisplaykan in the

final report of the study.

3. Withdrawal / Verification Conclusion

The third step is the conclusion and verification. Preliminary conclusions

presented are still provisional, and will change if not found strong

evidence that supports the next stage of data collection. But if the

conclusion was supported by evidence that is valid and consistent when

researchers returned to the field to collect data, the conclusions put

forward a credible conclusion (trustworthy).

Conclusions in qualitative research may be able to answer the problem

formulation formulated from the beginning, but maybe not, because of the

problem and the problem in qualitative research is still tentative and will

be developed after research in the field. Conclusion expected in qualitative

research is a new finding that had not been there. The findings could be a

52

Page 53: Derivational process in Matbat Language

description or picture of an object that previously were not clear, so that

after the investigation became clear.

CHAPTER IV

FINDING AND DISCUSSION

A. Finding

This chapter explains about derivational process that

found in Matbat Misool language. It was analyzed based on

morphology, specifically about morpheme that has function

to change the word class. To analyze the data, the writer

made the list of words. To describe it the writer used

qualitative method. The data that show derivational process

B. Discussion

In here, the writer discussed the data that found about

derivational process in Matbat language

1.Derivation of Adjective to Verb

In Matbat language, derivation of adjective to verb is

constructed by adding morpheme ”laponpo, lotem, beheu,

heu, befi, etc“ at the enddig of adjective to form verb. For

example the words: Mtolaponpo (increase), tacoklotem

57

Page 58: Derivational process in Matbat Language

(fool), Lekbeheu (break), Matipheu (darken), Msiubefi

(blacken), etc.

Morpheme “laponpo, lotem, beheu, heu, befi “ was

bound and the words that attached on it are free

morphemes, like the words tacok, lek, fi.. It is distinguished

with derivation of adjective to verb in English is by

attaching morpheme –en in the end of root adjective. For

examples, weaken, blacken, darken, broaden, shorten etc.

Beside morpheme -en, to construct derivation of adjective

to verb, in English is also exist morpheme –ize in the end of

adjective, as the examples are minimize, and also suffix fy

for example is beautify, etc (Adeneyi, 2010: 11). These

words are constructed on two morphemes, namely free

morpheme and bound morpheme. The free morphemes are

weak, black, dark, broad, minimal, and beautiful, while the

bound morphemes are:-en,–ize, and -fy which attach in the

end of the adjective.

The distinguished derivation of adjective to verb; in

English, we can find morpheme-en, -ly in the end of

adjective (prefix). These adjectives have listed in the

dictionary. For example the words; , weaken, blacken,

darken, sturdily, vastly, and pleasantly . In Matbat

language, to construct verb from adjective just can be done

58

Page 59: Derivational process in Matbat Language

by attaching morpheme laponpo in the endding of

adjective, for examples are mtolaponpo (increase),

tacoklotem (fool), lekbeheu (break), matipheu (darken),

msiubefi (blacken), etc

2.Derivation of Adjective to Noun

In Matbat language, derivation of adjective to noun is

constructed by adding morpheme ”lotem“ and “de” in the

endding of adjective (suffix). For examples, the words:

kamlotde (coolness), mlonde (clarity), tacoklotem

(stupidity), hannanglotem (happiness), etc. Suffix “de,

lotem“is bound morpheme, while the words that attached

on it are free morphemes, like the words kamlot, mlon,

hannang, tacok, etc.

It is different with English derivation of adjective to

noun. In English, it is constructed by attaching morphemes

“–ness, -ity, and –ing” in the end of adjective (suffix) like

the words: foolishness, badness, darkness, security, etc

(Adeneyi, 2010: 11). These words are constructed by two

morphemes, namely free morpheme and bound

morpheme. The free morphemes are the words foolish,

bad, dark, black, secure, etc. while bound morpheme is –

59

Page 60: Derivational process in Matbat Language

ness, -ity, and -ing. It is difference with derivation of

adjective to noun in Matbat language.

3.Derivation of Verb to Noun

In Matbat language, to build a derivation of the verb to

noun is by adding bound morpheme “Hi” at the beginning

of the verb to form a noun, for example the words

Hifakainhi (marriage), Himu (riddance), etc. It is very

different from the derivational process in English. In

English, derivation of verb to object morpheme is added at

the end of the verb.

60

Page 61: Derivational process in Matbat Language

BAB V

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

A. Conclusions

Having analyzed the data in the previous chapter, the

writer concluded that derivational process in Matbat language

are reflected by some derivations such as: 1) adjective to

verb that constructed by adding morpheme laponpo, lotem,

heu, and beheu for examples: mtolaponpo (increase),

tacoklotem ( fool), lekbeheu (break), matipheu (darken),etc.

2) Adjective to noun that constructed by adding morpheme

de,lotem, for examples are the words barasilotem

(cleanliness), juromde (bravery), caplotem

(beautifuliness)etc. 6) verb to noun that constructed by

adding morpheme morpheme hi, for examples are hifakainhi

(marriage), himu (riddance),etc.

So, constructions derivational process in Matbat

language are morphemes laponpo, lotem, heu and beheu

(for adjective to verb), morpheme de, lotem(for adjective to

noun), and also morphemes hi (for verb to noun.)

61

Page 62: Derivational process in Matbat Language

B. Suggestions

The result of this study expected can be useful for the

readers to increase their understanding about derivational

process in Matbat language. It is also hoped that this study

will be useful to other researchers related with derivation

aspects such as morphology.

The writer recognizes that this study is still far from the

perfect. Therefore it is suggested for the readers to give

some constructive criticism and suggestion to make it better.
