of Life and Style Column 36 the dictionary. Meanwhile, a few compound words are formed differently in the novel Harry Potter. Based on the research problems and the previous research described previously, This current research is aimed to find out (1) What kinds of compound words found in the life and style columns of the Jakarta Globe article? (2) How the English compound words described in the life and style columns of the Jakarta Globe article? Since morphology defines the concept of word production, the study of morphology can be applied to many different text. The article of life and style column in the Jakarta Globe is the research's data source. The language used in this section is English, and a variety of items can be examined from a morphological perspective. As a result, the author decides to examine how English compounding is used in the text. The theoretical advantage of this research for linguistic studies is that it provides details regarding the use of English compounding in the text. Additionally, this study serves as a reference for additional studies. Furthermore, this research is anticipated to be a useful resource because it will be explained from both a morphological and a semantic perspective. LITERATURE REVIEW Morphology Morphology is one of the branches in linguistics that describes word formation or an analysis of word structure. According to O’Grady & Guzman (1996) state that a system of classifications and guidelines that affects how words are formed and understood is known as morphology. To put it another way, the study of word formation includes how new words are created in different languages and how word forms change based on how they are employed in sentences. Accordingly, morphology is the study of the internal structure of words, including the shape of lexemes and how lexemes are combined to make words. The word "morphology" was created from biology, which is the study of animal and plant forms. In linguistics today, the term "morphology" is defined as the study of word structure and the orderly link between word form and meaning (Booij, 2005). Furthermore, there are two main functions in morphology. Firstly, it creates a new word or lexemes. Secondly, finding the suitable form of a new word in the context of syntactic There are two forms of lexicon in a language, namely simplex and complex lexicon. Lexeme is the lexicon to the extent that it is well established. It has a language function as a lexical convention or lexical norm. For example, in British English, a cash dispenser is the machine that is used for drawing money. On the other hand, in American English, it is called an automatic teller machine (ATM). From the evidence above, it shows that the lexicon of a language may have a space or a blocking effect in creating a new lexicon. There are several ways of creating a word of creation, as suggested by G. E. Booij (2005). Those are blends, acronyms, alphabetisms, and clippings. Blends are the combination of the first part of one phrase with the second part of another phrase. For example, the word "stagflation" is from stagnation + inflation. Further, the word brunch is a blending word from breakfast and lunch. Next, acronyms are formed from the initial letters of a word. For instance, yup is the abbreviation of "young urban professional." NATO is the acronym for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Further, alphabetism is made from the first letter of a word, which is pronounced with the phonetic of the letter in the alphabet. For example, English CD "Compact Disc," SMS |
