| Compound Words
Compounds are words created by combining roots with the considerably smaller category of phrasal words, that is, objects that have the internal structure of phrasal verbs but function syntactically as words Carstairs (2002:59). Furthermore, Katamba (1993:291) adds that A compound word is defined as a term made up of at least two bases that can arise elsewhere as independent words. Delahunty & Garvey (2010) describe concise definitions of the difference between a compound and a phrase. The last word in phrases receives more emphasis than the first word in compounds. Despite the fact that this pattern is not true for all compounds, it is so frequently true that it offers a highly helpful test. However, these techniques are not applicable in all situations when dealing with texts. It depends on a number of factors, whether it's a noun or a phrase. Exocentric and endocentric compound words are other examples. A compound whose meaning may be determined by its head is said to be endocentric. Endocentrix, according to O’Grady & Guzman (1996:154), is a compound that indicates the general class to which a word's meaning belongs. Another sort of food is dog food. And one kind of man is a caveman. While exocentric is a compound whose meaning is independent of that of its constituent parts. Exocentric, according to O’Grady & Guzman (1996:154), is a compound that does not logically result from the meaning of its constituent parts. A word's meaning is encoded into it. Every compound, according to Ullman (1972:81), contains words that are at least partially motivated and transparent as well as words that are arbitrarily and opaque with no relationship between sound and sanse. Maulidia, H.R. & Kusumah, C.M. An Analysis of English Compound Words in An Article of Life and Style Column 38 Based on theory, the researcher Ullman divides meanings into two categories: transparent and opaque. To support this study, the main theories used in this study are from G. E. Booij, (2005), Delahunty & Garvey, (2010), Carstairs (2002), and O’Grady & Guzman (1996). The theories in the morphological study focused on the types of compound words and how those compound words are analyzed. This study aims to explain and interpret the phenomenon of the variance of compound words that appear in the life and style columns of the Jakarta Globe articles as well as the process by which the compound words are created. Therefore, this research employs a qualitative approach as suggested by Creswell (2014) which states that A purpose statement describes the research on one particular phenomenon of interest. It implies that the focus of this study is on the qualitative study description. The findings of the investigation will be described using a descriptive methodology. METHOD The design of this research is descriptive qualitative research which the objective of the research is a comprehensive summarization (Arikunto (1998) says that descriptive research is the researcher's purpose to accurately describe the situation, condition, and others. The result is an explainable report of the researcher. It means qualitative research describes the way things are based on facts and stated assumptions. In an effort to understand how compound words are used in texts, the life and style column in the Jakarta Globe is taken as the main source for this research. The objects of this research are: (1) What types of compound words occur in the life and style columns of the Jakarta Globe article? (2) How are the English compound words formed in the life and style columns of the Jakarta Globe article? In an effort to understand how compound words are used in the life and style columns of the Jakarta Globe, the text that is being evaluated and used as the primary data concentrates on the website's introduction. There will be descriptions and explanations of the findings because this research is descriptive in nature. The techniques for collecting the data were: downloading newspapers from the internet; reading the headlines of the newspapers; and analyzing the headlines of the newspapers using O'Grady's theory. The text is used as the primary source of data in this study, and the results are obtained by analyzing the compound words that are used in the text. tải về 0.66 Mb. Chia sẻ với bạn bè của bạn:
