ABSTRACT
The aimed of the research were to find out the type of morpheme of morphology
on Smoking article. It was descriptive qualitative research. In collecting the data
the research applied observational method and non-participatory technique. The
data analyzed used the theory of Bauer. The writer applied the words in the article
as the data. It was found the 20 words of morphology. In this research focus in
analyzing words in the article proposed theory of Bauer about type of morpheme.
The words are shorten, smoker, drugs, dependent, safer, cooled, additional,
antifreeze, responsible, fertility, performance, circulation, illness, properly,
smokeless, pressure, information, organization, helpful, hardest.The writer found
20 data in this article entitled Smoking. Data found are words that have their own
meanings. The data changes meaning and grammar after adding Suffix and Affix.
Researcher research this issue to make reader can understand the process making
a word.

Keywords: Morphology, Morpheme, Derivational, Inflectional.

INTRODUCTION
In the daily life, language is the one of important thing in the world to
communicate. People say expressions and opinions with language as
conductor.Language is a tool to communication each other. Language can make
people to interact with each other.Language is the ability to produce and
comprehend both spoken and written. Language has study about itself that is
linguistics. According to Bauer (2007) said that linguistics is the word meaning
„relating to language‟ as well as the word meaning „relating to linguistics. It
meanslinguistics is knowledge about language and relate to language itself. In
linguistics many part that study in there. There is Morphology, Free Morpheme,
Bound Morpheme, Derivational Morpheme, and Affixes and also Prefix and
Suffix. In this research we discuss about morphology and part of them.
All languages obey the rules agreed by linguists. Then we must follow the
rules that have been set. We can communicate an unlimited number of concepts.

While each language has a different set of rules, all languages obey the rules.
These rules are known as grammar. Grammar is a set of rules for generating
logical communication. Grammar set of rules a language obeys for creating words
and sentences. All languages have a grammar, and native speakers of a language
have created the rules of that language grammar. In study of grammar there some
tenses. It is study about how to make a sentence related to the rules. There is
another part of linguistics that related to grammar that is Morphology.
According to Bauer (2007) morphology is about the structure of words,
how word such as dislike are made up of smaller meaningful elements such as dis
and like. It means morphology is how to study about word/morpheme.
Morphology is the study of language itself, such as studying the formation of
words / morphemes and also variations in the combination of words / morphemes
in a language.
At this time many people researching linguistics, especially English.
People know the importance of Linguistics. Therefore, a lot of researcher
researched on linguistics.They have researched several fields of Linguistics.
Morphology is one part of linguistics that studies Morpheme in it. Martini (2016)
showed that how Bound Morpheme can change a word that call is Derivational of
bound Morpheme. This research only discussed about Derivational of Bound
Morpheme and make reader still confused. Another researcher created another
research about how to translate Derivational Bound Morpheme into Indonesian
(Wibowo & Suyudi, 2015). They created this research to purpose that reader
Indonesian can understand how to translate Derivational of Bound Morpheme.
In this world there are so many language that we have. Pak-Pak language
is the one of them. One researcher was researched Derivational and Inflectional
Morpheme (Situmorang & Arifin, 2011). And so many researcher discuss about
Derivational and Inflectional Morpheme such as Halawa et al., (2020); Kadek
(2016); Rugaiyah (2018); Nuril et al (2017); and Hidayati (2016). They all
focused on Derivational and Inflectional Morpheme only object of discussing that
be differences.
In another word, Linguistic has connection one part to another part
discussion. To learn about morpheme learner must know about Morphology
because Morpheme is part of Morphology. Abd. Muin (2017); Nur (2019)
researched about Morphology clearly with the object is difference. Many journals
that discussabout morpheme. The researcher is one of the people who research
about these subject. The researcher research Morpheme how to analyze morphem
itself with article Smoking. There are ten journals taken for reference by
researcher. So, this journal purpose to make reader knows how morpheme formed.
In this journal reader can understand quickly because this journal made with
simple word and often found in daily life.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Linguistics
According to Bauer (2007) linguistics is the word meaning „relating to
language‟ as well as the word meaning „relating to linguistics. It means
Linguistics is study of language and study of word. According to Cook (2003)
linguistics is the academic discipline concerned with the relation of knowlage
about language to decision making in the real world. It means that Linguistics is
the science that studies about language. Crystal (2003) in his book entitled The
Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language divides linguistic types into 6 parts there
are: Morphology, Phonetics, Phonology, Syntax, Semantics, and Pragmatics. In
this research focus to study of Morphology part.

Morphology
According to Bauer (2007) morphology is about the structure of words,
how word such as dislike are made up of smaller meaningful elements such as dis
and like. As can be seen in this definition by Bauer (2007) this branch of
linguistics is studying about the structure of words. Besides defining about
sttructure of words, morphology also studies about elements that makes meaning
in certain words. According to Lieber (2004) morphology is the study of word
formation, including the ways new words are coined in the language of the world,
and the way forms of words are varied depending on how the are used in
sentences. It means that Morphology is the science that studies about the word, a
word that has innovation when used in sentences.
The words are connected to another words and Morphology studies these
connection. From of all the defination about Morphology above, Morphology
studies about words. It studies not only the meaning, but also the structure that
from each word. Words have their own structure and Morphology tries to study is
structure. Words also have a connection between one to other word. By studying
and understanding structure of words in morphology, the meaning and connection
between words are easy to understand.

Morpheme
Talk about Morphology, it cannot be separated with morpheme, because
morpheme is the study of systematic covaration in the form and meaning words.
A small part that has a meaning and grammatical function is called Morpheme.
Morpheme is the root of word. According to Booij (2005) morpheme is the
morphological building bloks of word, are difined as the minimal Linguistics units
with a grammatical meaning. It means that Morpheme is the smallest elements of
Linguistics that deals with grammatical meaning. According to Lieber (2004)
morpheme is the meaningful units that are used to form words. It means that

36
 2020. Linguistics, English Education and Art (LEEA) Journal 4 (1):34-44

morpheme is the unit of form word which has a lot of meaning. From the
definition the writer conclude that morpheme is the same with original or base
word. Morpheme also can be defined as the smallest unit of language that has its
own meaning. There are two typesMorpheme in morphology there are
FreeMorpheme and Bound Morpheme.
Based on Lieber (2004) morpheme has two types there are Bound
Morpheme and Free Morpheme. Free morpheme is a morpheme which can stand
alone to make a word. Free Morpheme can be found in simple word. A word that
contain Free Morpheme has a basic meaning without any addition of grammatical
function. Free Morpheme can appear with other lexemes of they can stand alone
or “free” and Free Morpheme consist two types they are Lexical and Functional
Morpheme. Bound Morpheme is a morpheme cannot stand alone, it needs a
combination to make a word. Word that contain Bound Morpheme is a word that
has grammatical function such as ed, -s/es, ing, en, er, ed, est. Bound Morpheme
appear only together with other morphemes to form a lexemes. Bound Morpheme
in general tend to be affixes: Prefix and Suffix.
Bound Morpheme divided into two types they are Derivational Morpheme
and Inflectional Morpheme. Derivational Morpheme is a morpheme that can
change the meaning of the original word. Inflectional Morpheme is a morpheme
that cannot change the meaning because it only adds the grammatical function in
original or existing word. From of all the definition Bound Morpheme has two
types such as Derivational Morpheme and Inflectional Morpheme.

RESEARCH METHOD
The title of this article is An Analysis Morpheme in Smoking Article. I
described the data with reading an article. This article very helped me to found the
morpheme.It can improve the skill of English words. The data are taken from
Smoking article.This research used descriptive qualitative method.

FINDINGS
Based on the observation, researcher found some words after read the
article. Researcher found 20 Bound Morpheme that have difference meaning after
add suffix or prefix.

DISCUSSION
Based on findings, the researcher According to Bauer (2007) said that
linguistics is the word meaning „relating to language‟ as well as the word meaning
„relating to linguistics.It meanslinguistics is knowledge about language and relate
to language itself. In linguistics many part that study in there.Some people
interesting with Linguistics because language is one thing is very important in
life. According to Bauer (2007) linguistics is the word meaning „relating to
language‟ as well as the word meaning „relating to linguistics. It means
Linguistics is study of language and study of word. According to Cook (2003)

Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language divides linguistic types into 6 parts there
are: Morphology, Phonetics, Phonology, Syntax, Semantics, and Pragmatics. In
this research focus to study of Morphology part. From Crystal‟s book we can
know that Linguistics has many fields science in there.
Talk about Linguistics, Morpheme is one fields of Linguistics because
Morpheme is the study of systematic covaration in the form and meaning words.
A small part that has a meaning and grammatical function is called Morpheme.

Based on findings, this research identifies and classifies the analysis

Morpheme that found in the Smoking article. According to Lieber (2004)
morpheme has two types there are Bound Morpheme and Free Morpheme that
found in the Smoking article. They are Derivational and Inflectional Morpheme.
Researcher described how to analyze data that found in Smoking article. There are
20 data that found in the article. Researcher want to describe the data used theory
by Lieber (2004) about Bound Morpheme and Free Morpheme. In the findings,
the data have analyzed which the Bound Morpheme and Free Morpheme. Based
on findings, researcher guided by Lieber (2004) and researcher has separate the
data be Bound and Free Morpheme.

CONCLUSION
The writer found 20 data in this article entitled SMOKING. Data found are
words that have their own meanings. The data changes meaning and grammar
after adding Suffix and Affix. Researcher research this issue to make reader can
understand the process making a word. Researcher want to reader make this
research as example to analyze word.
