Last Wednesday our class study about Word Formation presented by first group. Word formation is to create a new word. There are ten process to create a new word:
1. Clipping. The clipping process is to omit a part of word. There are three kinds of clipping:
a. Back Clipping: advertisement ➡ adv/ad, gymnastic ➡ gym. Back clipping is to omit the back part of word.
b. Fore Clipping: telephone ➡ phone, alligator ➡ gator. Fore clipping is to omit the front part of word.
c. Middle Clipping: influenza ➡ flu. Middle clipping is to take the middle part of word and omit the front and back part of word.
2. Acronyms: NATO, Unicef.
3. Blending: combination from two words or more to create a new word. Example: smog ➡ smoke & fog, brunch ➡ breakfast & lunch. In Bahasa there are so many blending words, such as: tijel ➡ tidak jelas, baper ➡ bawa perasaan, bucin ➡ budak cinta, gaje ➡ nggak jelas, memantul ➡ memang mantap betul.
4. Coinage/Invention: term that has used to for some things to do. Xerox (name of photocopy's machine) ➡ saying to copy something.
5. Back Formation: omit the sufix in the end of word. Example: recurrection ➡ recurrect.
6. Compounding: create new word by combining two free morphemes. Example: black+bird ➡ black bird.
7. Reduplication: zigzag, chitchat.
8. Inflection: adding suffix. Example: bored.
9. Derivation: put affixes whether prefixes or suffixes. It may change the grammatical class of the word. Example: boy+ish ➡ boyish.
10. Borrowing: this is the reserve word from foregin.
