Abstract

This study discusses word formation. It is concerned with the kinds of word formation on computer and the meanings of the derived words. This research is qualitative in the form of content analysis, which involves the following steps: collecting, classifying, and analyzing data. The source of the data is Quick Reference: Compaq Notebook PC, User’s Manual of Gigabyte, and Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort of Toshiba. The population of this research is all the words undergoing word formation processes. The technique applied to take the sample was simple total sampling. The referential method was applied to describe the derived words undergoing word formation. While, to determine their kinds and meanings pragmatic method was used. Furthermore, there are nine kinds of word formation processes found in the three manual books on computer to create new words namely, acronymy, blending, back formation, clipping, coinage, derivation, compounding, borrowing, and onomatopoeia. The data analysis showed that derived words formed through acronymy are 40 (43.6%) in number, the derived word through blending is 1 (1.09%) in number, the derived words through back formation is 1 (1.09%) in number, derived words through clipping are 4 (4.36%) in number, the derived word through coinage is 1 (1.09%) in number, the derived word through borrowing 2 (2.18%) in number, the derived word through onomatopoeia is 1 (1.09%) in number. Moreover, derived words through derivation are 15 (16.35%) in number, and derived words through compounding are 44 (47.96%) in number. Then, there are two categories of meanings on computer which are discussed by the researcher, that is, hardware and software. In this case, hardware itself is divided into two kinds, that is, internal and external. Furthermore, software is grouped into two types namely application software and system software in computer
