ABSTRACT
This thesis is entitled "Morphological Process in Robert Pinsky‟s Poems „Jersey

Rain'". This thesis analyzes the types of morphological processes in Robert Pinsky's
Jersey Rain poems and the dominant types used. This study applies a qualitative
descriptive method put forward by O Grady et al (1997) which focuses on seven
types of morphology, namely affixation, reduplication, suppletion, compounding,
internal change, cliticizations, stressed and tone placement. Based on the analysis
conducted, it is found that, from 1046 data, 812 (77.62%) are affixation, 131
(12.52%) are compounding, 48 (4.58%) are suppletions, 39 ( 3.72%) are
cliticizations, 15 (1.43%) are internal changes. There is only one (1) reduplication
(0.95%). While stress & tone placement 0 (0%). Furthermore, affixation (suffix) is
the most dominant type of morphology used in the poem.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of the Study
Humans are social beings who interact and communicate. In interacting and
communicating humans use language as a means of communication to express
ideas or messages to be conveyed. Bloomfield (1933 : 3) says that language plays
a great part in our life. Blomfield states that Language is so closely related to
human thought that it is unimaginable to study it by such simple and
undiversified ways. Language According to Tamasi (2014 : 3) is defined as an
open, arbitrary, conventional system of sounds used for communication within a
linguistic community In essence, language will never be separated from human
life. Therefore, we as speakers or communicators need to understand the form of
grammar in terms of structure, form and problems of other fields of study
contained in it. This is related to the science of morphology. Morphology is used
by various branches of science. But in this thesis, the morphology in question is
morphological in terms of the linguistic field. Based on the hierarchy of
linguistics, the morphology is differed between the study of phonology and
syntax. Morphology is the second level after phonology.
As we know, Morphology is a linguistic branch that identifies basic units of
language as grammatical units. Morphology comes from Greek, morphe and
logos. Morphe means form and logos means science. So, based on the meaning
of the elements of its formation, the word morphology means the knowledge of
form. Morphology studies the subtleties of word forms and the effects of word

changes on the group and the meaning of the word. Or in other words it can be
said that morphology studies the intricacies of the word form and the function of
the changes in word form, both grammatical and semantic functions. Morphology
also studies the structure and relationships between one morpheme and another in
forming a word. And the word formation process between the morphemes is
called the morphological process. Specifically, which will be discussed in this
study is the morphological process itself. The morphological process as
mentioned above is the process of merging morphemes into words.
Morphological Process is process of addition of formative to root and stems,
semantic role operations, link up with the lexicon (Matthews 1991 : 122). In general
there are eight morphological processes, namely: zero derivation, affixation,
reduplication, compound, changes in vocals, suppletion, reduction or substractions,
and cliticsation. But according to O‟Grady et al (1997 : 117-122) some common
morphological phenomenom are affixation, reduplication, suppletion, compounding,
internal change, cliticsization stressed and tone placement. We can see the entire
morphological process in discourse texts such as newspapers, poems, novels,
magazines, etc. But of all those that are most often used and most often we encounter
are affixation, reduplication and composition. And that also applies to the objects
studied in this study.
In this study, the writer analyzed a literary work namely poetry. This poem is
analyzed based on the morphological process. Poetry is a type of literary work that
still attracts people. Along with the times the globalization of the presence of poetry
still persisted. For example, some people still use old poetry in traditional events. Not

only that, there are still many young people who still love poetry and even make their
own poems to express ideas, ideas and feelings. But this refers to free poetry.
On this occasion the writer was interested in chose to analyze one of the
Robert Pinsky‟s poems books entitled Jersey Rain based on morphological processes.
Robert Pinsky is one of the American contemporary poets. Robert Pinsky has many
capabilities. Not only as American poets, the same time he may be an paperist,
literary critic, and translator. In writing his poetry, Robert Pinsky has his own
distinctive characteristics. Where he prefers the beauty of the poem. Robert Pinsky
accommodated all the ideas to fill his poetry, and his poetry would change somewhat
depending on the particular subjectivity of each reader. Initially Pinsky was inspired
by the flow and tension of jazz. He really likes jazz because for him physical
immediacy, improvisation and also the sense of a lifetime of suffering and study and
thought is behind some single phrase. He said that “Poetry‟s highest purpose is to
provide a unique sensation of coordination between the intelligence, emotions and
the body. It‟s one of the most fundamental pleasures a person can experience.” This
is also what he applied in making his poetry. For him, the musicality of poetry is and
is very important for his work. That is what makes his poetry unique and has its own
characteristics. As an American contemporary poets, Pinsky has written nineteen
books, most of which are collections of his poetry. One of them is Jersey Rain.
Before understanding or analyzing a discourse and the sentences contained in
a text, we need to understand the elements forming the sentence. Words are elements
in forming sentences. While words are formed based on morphemes or merging
morphemes. As we know, poetry has many connotation meanings or figurative
meanings with functions to beautify the poem and get deeper meaning. Various

choices of words are used in forming a poem. With the intention of how the poem
looks beautiful without reducing the purpose or message that the writer wants to
convey.
Likewise with Robert Pinsky's poems “Jersey Rain”. This poem uses many unusual
words, words that we rarely encounter in daily life, such as figurative language. This
poem is also one of modern poems that follows the times. And the words in these
poems have many kinds of morphological processes such as affixation, compounding
and etc. This is what makes the writer interested in analyzing this book. The writer
wants to find out whether it is included in the form of the word based on the
morphological process. The writer will also categorize these words into
morphological processes based on general morphological processes.
1.2.Problem of the Study
Based on the description of the background above, two problems can be
formulated as follows :
1. What type morphological processes were found in Robert Pinsky‟s Poems
Jersey Rain?
2. What was the most dominant morphological process in Robert Pinsky‟s Poems
Jersey Rain?
1.3.Objectives of the Study
The purposes of this study are to disclose the problems illustrated in the
problem statement. The objectives to be achieved in writing this paper were as
follows:
1. To find out the types of morphological process in Robert Pinsky‟s Poems

Jersey Rain
2. To find out the most dominant morphological processes in Robert Pinsky‟s
Poems Jersey Rain.
1.4.Scope of the Study
The scope of the study was limited to morphological process occurring in
Robert‟s Pinsky Poems Jersey Rain. Those processes consist of affixation,
reduplication, compounding, internal change, stressed and tone placement,
cliticization, and suppletion.
1.5.Significance of the Study
This research is expected to be able to provide benefits to all parties, both
theoretical and practical benefits. Theoretically, this research is expected to be able
to provide knowledge about science in the field of linguistics, especially morphology
and morphological process in analyzing language, With the purpose of advancing
linguistics. In practical terms, this research can also be used as a reference material
for future research. Specifically as a reference for morphology research. For the
writers himself, this research can be used as a valuable experience in an effort to
improve the ability of writers and add insight into linguistics, especially one branch
of linguistics, namely morphology.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2.1. Morphology
Morphology is one of a linguistic branches that identifies basic units of
language as grammatical units. Morphology according to Matthews (1991 :3) is
a term for that branch of linguistics which is concerned with the form of words in
difference uses and construction. Understanding morphology according to
Verhaar, states that morphology is a branch of linguistics that identifies basic
units of language as grammatical units (Verhaar 1984 in Muchtar 2005 : 2).
According to Booij (2005: 4) morphology is a subdicipline of linguistics that
deals with such patterns. Therefore, morphology deals with the internal
constituent structure of words as well. In dictionary it is stated that morphology
is a branch of linguistics about morphemes and their combinations; morphology.
Meanwhile, according to Bauer (in Muchtar 2015:1) morphology as a field of
linguistics is understood as the study of the systematic changes of word form
which is associated with its own meaning.
From the description above, it can be concluded that morphology is one of the
linguistic branches that studies the structure and relationships between one
morpheme and another morpheme to form a word.
2.1.1. Morpheme
The morpheme is the smallest unit of grammar. According to Katamba (1993
: 24) morpheme is the smallest difference in the shape of a word the correlates with

the smallest difference in word or sentence meaning or in grammatical structure.
According to Booij (2005:8), “Morpheme is the morphological building bloks of
word, are difined as the minimal Linguistics units with a grammatical meaning”.
Other linguists like Bloomfield said “ A linguistics form which bears nopartial
phonetic – semantic resemblance to any other form, is a simple form morpheme.
Charles F. Hockett said “ morphemes are the smallest Individually meaningful
elements in the utterances of a language ( Hockett 965 in Muchtar 2015 : 6 ).
Based on the definitions of linguistic above, it can be concluded that morphemes are
elements of language that are the smallest and most important in the process of word
formation, and have meaning in speech of a language. Morpheme can be classified
based on its independence into free morpheme and bound morpheme (Muchtar 2015
: 9).
A. Free Morpheme
A morpheme that can be a word by itself it called free morpheme (O‟Grady et
al 1997: 113). This morpheme can be directly used in narrative. Briefly, free
morpheme can stand alone with a specific meaning. For example: write, sick,
sleep. A free morpheme can be called a word.
B. Bound morpheme
A morpheme that must be attached to another element it said to be bound
morpheme (O‟Grady et al 1997: 113). This morpheme must first join other
morphemes to used in speech. Bound morpheme Cannot stand alone with
meaning. Affix is included in the bound morpheme. For example: unhappy
and unusual. Unhappy is a combination of morphs un- and -happy. Dislike is
a combination of dis- and like. Un- and dis- here functions as one of the

additions, namely the prefix. From the example we can see that morpheme –
un- and dis-, cannot stand without merging from other morphemes such as
morpheme happy and like. So un- and dis- are the bound morpheme.
2.2. Morphological Process
The formation of a word in a language cannot be separated from the existence
of a morphological process. The morphological process is a way of forming words
by adding one morpheme to the other morpheme. Morphological Process is process
of addition of formative to root and stems, semantic role operations, link up with the
lexicon (Matthews 1991 : 122). According to Bauer (2001: 205) a morphological
process is a of create new pertinent form.
In general, the morphological process is the process of forming words by combining
between words which then produces new words by producing new meanings. The
briefly morphological process is a process of word formation from morphemes.
Thus, the morphological process is a word formation process caused by the
merging of one morpheme with the other morpheme so that it becomes a word. The
morphological process described by the linguists can make guidance or reference for
researchers in studying the morphological processes found in Jersey Rain Poems.
Generally there are eight morphological processes, namely : zero derivation,
affixsation, reduplication, compound, changes in vocal, suppletion, reduction or
substraction and cliticsation (Muchtar, 2015 : 14). But in this thesis, writer use the
morphological according to O‟Grady et al. According to O‟Grady et al, there are
some common morphological process, namely : affixation, reduplication,

compounding, internal change, stressed and tone placement, cliticization, suppletion
(O‟Grady et al 1997 : 117-122).
2.2.1. Affixation
Affixation is the morphological process whereby an affix is attached to
a root or stem (Matthews, 1991 : 131). According to O‟Grady et al (1997 : 117)
affixation is addiction of an affix. An affix is a morpheme which only occurs when
attached to some other morpheme or morpheme such as root or stem or base
(Katamba, 1993 : 44). Briefly affixation is a process of converting lexeme into a
complex word. Change is a series of complex and interrelated systems. Katamba
mentions three types of affixes, namely: prefix, suffix and infix (Katamba, 1993 :
44).
A. Prefix
Prefix is an affix that is attached to the front of its base (O‟Grady et al, 1997 :
117). Prefix according to Katamba is an affix attached before a root or stem or base
like re-, un- and –in :
re-make un-kind in-decent
re-read un-tidy in-accurate (Katamba 1993 : 44).
B. Infix
Infix is a types og affix that occurs within a base (O‟Grady et al, 1997 : 117).
According to Katamba (1993 : 44 ) an infix is an affix inserted into the root itself.
Some frequently used infix in English like :

awfully : beawfullyware
blessed : absoblessedlutely
bally : absoballylutely
bleep : fivebleepmile
blooming : absobloominglutely (Muchtar 2015 : 21).
C. Suffix
Suffix is an affix that is attached to the end of its base (O‟Grady, 1997 : 117).
According to Katamba (1993 : 44), a suffix is an affix attached after a root (or stem
or base) like –ly, -er, -ist, -s, -ing and –ed.
Secret -ly sell-er paper-s learn-ed
Friend -ly watch-er pent-s again-ist
2.2.2. Reduplication
Reduplication is a word-formation process in which meaning is expressed by
repeating all or part of a word. Reduplication is restricted to situations where the
repeated part of the word serves some derivational or inflectional purpose (Katamba,
1993 : 180). According to O‟Grady et al there are full reduplication an partial
reduplication. Full reduplication is repetition of entire word meanwhile partial
reduplication copies only part of the word (O‟Grady et al, 1997 : 121)
For examples: okey-dokey hanky-panky

10

bye – bye criss-cross
2.2.3. Compounding
Compounding is a process of word formation through combining two words
which rises to a new word and of course with new meanings. According to Matthews
(1974: 82) compounding is a process by which a compound lexeme is derived from
two or more simpler lexeme. It is a combination from form lexemes to not simply
form. Booij (2005 : 93) said that compounds are combinations of two or more
lexeme. O‟Grady et al (1997 : 27) said that compounding is combination of lexical
categories (noun, adjective, verb or preposition) to create a larger word. In English
we can distinguish several compounds based on their formation process or the
process of combining these morphemes such as:
Compound can be made by combining two nouns: bus stops, fireflies.
Compound can be made by combining an adjective and a noun: full moon,
blackboard.
Compound can be made by combining a verb and a noun: washing machine,
swimmingpool.
Compound nouns can be made by combining a noun and a verb: sunrise, hairstyle.
2.2.4. Stress and Tone Placement
Sometimes, a base can undergo change in the placement of stress or tone to
reflect a change in its category.
For example , impòrt import
11

presènt present
subjèct subject
contèst còntest (O‟Grady et al, 1997 : 120)
2.2.5. Internal Change
Internal change is a process that substitutes one – morphemic segment for
another to mark grammatical contrast, as illustrated in the following pairs of words.
sing (present) sang (past)
sink (present) sank (past)
drive (present) drove (past)
goose (singular) geese (plural)
2.2.6. Suppletion
Suppletion is a morphological process that replace a morpheme by an entirely
different morpheme in order to indicate a grammatical contrast (O‟Grady et al 1997 :
119). In suppletion, there are extreme changes that occur in the word, like the words
go – went and be-am or was ( Muchtar 2015 :15)
2.2.7. Cliticization
12

Clitic is a short morpheme that cannot be given accent or stress attached to
other words or phrase, has indescribable meaning lexically and are not attached to s
particular class of word ( Verhaar in Muchtar, 2015: 33). O‟Grady (1997 : 118) said
that clitics are short unstressed forms that are pronounced together with another
element as if the two were a single unit.
Examples : this‟ll be fine

2.3. Related Literature
In writing this thesis the writer seeked information from some researches
carried out beforehand as a comparison material, both weakness or strengths. The
writer conducted this thesis from the research before. It was written by Novita
Theresia entitled " Morphological Process in F.Scott Fitzgerald‟s Novel “The Great
Gatsby” ". In this thesis, the writer analysed the morphological processes based on
the books Geert Booji (2007) and F.Katamba (1993). Morphological process
included affixation, reduplication, modification, suppletion and compounding. The
subject of this study is Morphological Process in F.Scott Fitzgerald‟s Novel “The
Great Gatsby”. The object of this research is word and word formation used in
F.Scott Fitzgerald‟s Novel “The Great Gatsby”. The writer used the library research
method and descriptive method.
13

The second research wrote by Khairunissa, her paper entitled “The
Morphological analysis found in Tempo Magazine”. In that paper she found out
morphological analysis in that magazine. The morphological process in that paper
included affixation, reduplication, compounding, conversion, and backformation.
The data in that paper was five articles in Tempo Magazine.
Then, thesis by Rudi Dwi Purwanto entitled “ Morphological Process
Analysis in Soccer Column Daily Newspaper”. He used qualitative descriptive
method on his paper . In part of analysis, he just find out the word that had
affixation, compounding and reduplication. Then he classify it according to the same
morphological processes and explained the meaning of that word in that sentences.
Subject of this paper was a little part of newspaper namely column of soccer. So, he
also found a few words which had morphological processes.
The writer also find the other paper namely paper by Yanuar Bhondan. The
titled of that paper was „ A Morphological Study On Affixes in English Song Lyrics
on the Resistance Album Composed by Muse‟. He also used qualitative descriptive
research. In this paper he just focus on affixes of song lyrics. He classify that affixes
into derivational affixes and inflectional affixes. But he explained that affixes
detailed.
Writing this thesis is almost the same as writing that was done before. The
equation is found in the research methods and analysis techniques. The difference is
the subject of research. The subject of the previous researches was Morphological
Process in F.Scott Fitzgerald‟s Novel “The Great Gatsby", “The Morphological
analysis found in Tempo Magazine”, “ Morphological Process Analysis in Soccer
Column Daily Newspaper”, A Morphological Study On Affixes in English Song
14

Lyrics on the Resistance Album Composed by Muse‟. while the research subject in
this paper was Morphological Process in Jersey Rain Poems by Robert Pinsky. The
subject of the previous researches was novel, magazine, newspaper and lyrics of
song and in this paper the subject of research is poems. The morphological processes
in previous research are affixation, reduplication, compounding, suppletion and
modification. Meanwhile morphological processes in this research are affixation,
reduplication, compounding, internal change, suppletion, cliticsization, stressed and
tone placement (according to O‟Grady et al 1997 ).

CHAPTER III
METHOD OF RESEARCH
3.1. Research Design
In this research design, the writer starts to apply the library research method
in this thesis. As Nazir (2013 : 93) says “studi pustaka adalah teknik
pengumpulan data dengan melakukan penelaahan terhadap berbagai buku,
literature, catatan, dan laporan yang ada hubungannya dengan masalah yang
ingin dipecahkan” ( library research is a technique of collecting data by
conducting a review of various books, literature, notes, and reports that have to
do with the problem that you want to solve). The writer seeks and collects books
and journals related to morphology with the aim of obtaining information relating
to the morphological process. These books and journals are used as references for
writing theses about morphological process in poems.
3.2. Data and Source of Data
In data collection, data is taken from words that experience the morphological
process in Robert Pinsky's Jersey Rain. Sources of data were taken from twenty
six poems in Jersey Rain. In the book there are twenty six poems and writer using
all the poems as sources of data. Jersey Rain is one of a collection of poems by
Robert Pinsky. This book was published on April 16th, 2001. The poems
contained in Jersey Rain are modern poetry.
16

3.3. Data analysis
The writer analyzes the data after collecting the data. In analyzing the data
the writer uses descriptive methods. Tujuan dari penelitian deskriptif ini adalah
untuk membuat deskripsi, gambaran atau lukisan secara sistematis, factual dan
akurat mengenai fakta-fakta, sifat-sifat serta hubungan antar fenomena yang
diselidiki (Nazir 2005: 54).
The writer analyzes the data with several steps:
1. The writer reads the poem of Jersey Rain as a whole
2. The writer marks words that experience a morphological process
3. Separating words that contain morphological processes
4. Grouping these words specifically into types of morphological processes such
as: zero derivation, affixation, compound, reduplication, change in vocal,
reduction or subtraction, cliticsation and suppletion
5. Count all words that contain morphological processes and look for more
dominant ones. The formula for finding the most dominant amount is P =
X 100%
P = percentage of the morphological process
X = number of type morphological process
Y = total morphological process
6. Make conclusions from the results of data analysis
17

CHAPTER IV
ANALYSIS AND FINDING
4.1. Morphological Process in Robert Pinsky’s Jersey Rain
In this chapter, the writer begin to analysis the morphological process in
Robert Pinsky‟s Jersey Rain. The writer collect data from Robert Pinsky‟s poems
„Jersey Rain‟. The writer analysis morphological process focus on O‟Grady theory.
The theory classified morphological process to seven types namely, affixation,
compounding, suppletion, cliticsation, internal change reduplication, and stress &
tone placement. So, after reading those poems the writer found 1046 data of
morphological processes. We can see those data in table 4.1.
4.2. Classification of morphological Process in Robert Pinsky’s Jersey Rain
In collecting data of morphological procesess in Robert Pinsky‟ Jersey Rain
which used the O‟Grady et al theory, the writer found six morphological processes.
According to O‟Grady et al the common morphological process are affixation,
reduplication, compounding, suppletion, cliticsization, internal change and stress &
tone placement. But, in analysed this poems writer found morphological process such
as affixation, reduplication compounding, suppletion, cliticsization, and internal
change. There is no stress and tone placement in these poems.
4.2.1. Affixation
18

As the theory O‟Grady et al said that affixation consists of prefix, infix and
suffix. But, from the table of data above writer find the affixation namely prefix and

4.3. The most dominant morphological process in Robert Pinsky’s Jersey Rain
In collecting the data morphological process in Robert Pinsky‟s Jersey Rain,
writer find 1046 data. The data consist of affixation, reduplication, compounding,
suppletion, cliticization, and internal change. There is no stress and tone placement
found in these poems. The total of each morphological process as in the table below :
Table 4.2. table of data amount
Morphological process Total

1. Affixation 812
2. Reduplication 1
3. Compounding 131
4. Suppletion 48
5. Cliticization 39
6. Internal Change 15
7. Stress and Tone Placement 0
Then the writer compare the morphological processes in percent. The affixation is
about 77,62 %, reduplication 0,95%, compounding about 12,52%, suppletion about
4,58%, clticisazition 3,72%, internal change 1,43%, meanwhile stress and tone
placement is 0%. The order of the most dominant to the least namely :
59

1. Affixation  812  77,62%
2. Compounding  131  12,52%
3. Suppletion  48  4,58%
4. Cliticizations  39  3,72%
5. Internal Change 15  1,43%
6. Reduplication  1  0,95%
7. Stress & Tone Placement 0  0%

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
5.1.Conclusion
Based on the result of morphological process analysis In Robert
Pinsky‟s Jersey Rain, it can be concluded as follows :
1. There are six morphological processes in Robert Pinsky‟s Jersey Rain
according to the theory used. That morphological processes consist of
affixation, reduplication, compounding, suppletion, cliticization and
internal change. The affixation in those poems just consist of prefix and
suffix. There are thirteen prefix namely : a-, anti-, dis-, em-, im-/in-,
inter-, mid-, mis-, over-, re-, semi-, un-, and up-. Suffix in those poems
are twenty-five namely : able, -age, -al, -an, -ance/-ence, -ant, -ary/-ery, -
ed, -en, -er/-or, -es/-s, -est, -ful, -ic/-ical, -ing, -ion/-tion, -ity, -ive, -less, -
ly, -ment, -ness, -ous, -th, -y.
2. Based of the analysis the 1046 data were found. Affixation consisted of
812 data (77,62%), Compounding consisted of 131 data (12,52%) ,
Suppletion consisted of 48 data (4,58%), Cliticizations consisted of 39
data (3,72%) Internal Change consisted of 15 data (1,43%) Reduplication
consisted of 1 data (0,95%).
3. The most dominant morphological process in Robert Pinsky‟s Jersey Rain
is affixation . There were 812 affixation which consisted of 60 prefixes
and 752 suffixes.
61

5.2. Suggestion
It is suggested that everyone need to understand deeply about
morphological process because it relates to the other subjects.
Then, the writer also analysis those poems according to O‟Grady et al book.
It just some common morphological process according to them. Based on the
conclusion of research above, writer just found 1046 data which consisted of
812 affixation, 131 compounding, 48 suppletion, 39 cliticizations, 15 internal
change, and only 1 reduplication. So, the writer suggests that the next writer
should find more types of morphological procesess. The other theory also
give the other types of morphological processes.

1.1. Background of the Study

communicating humans use language as a means of communication to express

ideas or messages to be conveyed. Bloomfield (1933 : 3) says that language plays

human thought that it is unimaginable to study it by such simple and

undiversified ways. Language According to Tamasi (2014 : 3) is defined as an

open, arbitrary, conventional system of sounds used for communication within a

linguistic community In essence, language will never be separated from human

life. Therefore, we as speakers or communicators need to understand the form of

grammar in terms of structure, form and problems of other fields of study

contained in it. This is related to the science of morphology. Morphology is used

by various branches of science. But in this thesis, the morphology in question is

morphological in terms of the linguistic field. Based on the hierarchy of

linguistics, the morphology is differed between the study of phonology and

syntax. Morphology is the second level after phonology.

As we know, Morphology is a linguistic branch that identifies basic units of

language as grammatical units. Morphology comes from Greek, morphe and

Universitas Sumatera Utara

called the morphological process. Specifically, which will be discussed in this

study is the morphological process itself. The morphological process as

mentioned above is the process of merging morphemes into words.
