Abstract

This research focuses on the function and formation of English derived nouns.There are two questions to answer. First, what are the functions of English derived nouns? Second, what kinds of word formation processes do they undergo? To achieve the objectives, this thesis uses descriptive method for collecting the data, that is, collecting, arranging, classifying,analyzing, and interpreting the data.There are two kinds of data: primary and secondary data. The primary data are obtained from the writers of TIME magazine themselves. The secondary data are taken from the magazine itself, the theory of morphology by Metthew, the theoty of syntax by Nida, the theory of morpho-syntactic by Richard, and the theory noun by Frank. The analysis of English derived nouns is divided into two. The first one isthe function of English derived nouns in TIME magazine. The English derived nouns may function as subject,object,complement, and modifier.The second, the researcher analyzes the formation of English derived nouns found in the magazine.The English derived nouns are formed through some formation processes, namely compounding, derivation, coinage, echoism, blending, clipping, acronymy,back formation, borrowing, antonomasia, reduplication, and conversion. The result of the data analysis shows that the derived nouns functioning as subject are 35 (29.16%), as direct object are 25 (20.83%), as object of preposition are 38(31.67%), as subjective complement are 11 (9.16%), and as modifier are 11(9.16%). In fact, no English derived nouns in TIME magazine of 2006 function as indirect object and objective complement. Meanwhile, the English derived nouns undergoing compounding are 31 (25.83%), derivation are 46 (38.33%), clipping are 4(3.33%), antonomasia are 2 (1.66%), reduplication are 1 (0.83%), borrowing are 8(6.66%), acronymy are 11 (9.16%), and conversion are 17 (14.16%). But, the researcher does not find English derived nouns undergo blending, coinage, back formation, and echoism in the magazine.
