RESUME CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION TO MORPHOLOGY
By. Ega Viorenti Nabilla TBI5

1. Morphology

Morpheme arrangement which is treated under the morphology of language

includes all the combinations that make up a word or part of a word. Combinations
of words into phrases and sentences are treated under syntax. It would be very
wrong to assume, however, that morphology and syntax strict compartment in any
language structure.
Morphology is the study of morphemes and their arrangement in forming words.
Morpheme is minimal meaning,for example re-, de-, un-, -ish, -ly, -ceive, -mand, tie,
boy, and likes in the combination re- ceive, demand, let go, childish, maybe.

1.2. Principles of Descriptive Analysis

Neither of us, however, can completely separate himself from knowledge of the
language he has acquired or from the equipment he has used to describe • the
grammar of these languages. Despite this fact, descriptive linguists must detach
himself from the tourist point of view, which consists in judging everything strange
and different based on things found at home. To help orient In any new approach, it
is important to keep in mind the following basics principle :
 Descriptive analysis should be based on what people say.
 The forms are primary, and the usages secondary
 No part of a language can be adequately described without reference to all
other parts.
 Languages are constantly in the process of change.

1.3 Relationship of Descriptive Linguistics to Historical and Comparative Linguistics

Descriptive linguistics can be said to underlie historical and comparative language,

doesn't depend on them. Historical linguistics consists of the study of data from two
or more historical periods in a language. Comparative linguistics consists of study
data from two or more dialects of one language or from two or more languages
guages.
For valid results, historical and comparative linguists relies on descriptive data, but
descriptive linguists do not depend on historical and comparative findings.

1.4 Terminology of Descriptive Linguistics

Every science must have sufficient specific terminology to allow identification and a
discussion of the various features relating to their scope. On the other hand, use of
existing words in an untraditional sense perhaps even more validate or possibly give
the student false assurance that he or she understands what it means.

1.5 Arrangement of Contents of This Book

This chapter is the basis for each subsequent chapter analysis, because we can't discuss the
ways in which morphemes combine until we understand the way by which we can identify the
basic structural units of language.

1.6 Language Problems in the Present Volume

There are two kinds of language problems used in this text :

(l) that use data from actual language and
(2) using hypothetical data.
Material from actual language is found for the most part in precise text, and in hypothetical
data in Attachment. There is no language a jumble of disorganized voices, as some thought. That
is the goal of morphology to allows the analyst to find and describe parts of the language
structure which form words or parts of words.
