CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Issue Background
Morphology is the arrangement and relationships of the smallest meaningful
units in a language. Every human language depends on sounds. When specific sounds
are put together in a specific way, words, phrases, and finally sentences can be created.
This is how messages are sent and received in order to understand morphology. You
need to know the term morpheme, which is the smallest unit of a word with meaning.
That meaning is how language conveys messages: Morphemes are more than just
letters. When a number of letters are put together into a word part that now has
meaning, then you have a morpheme. Morphology studies how these units of meaning,
or word parts, can be arranged in a language.
In linguistics, morphology is the identification, analysis and description of the
structure of a given language’s morphemes and other linguistic units, such as root
words, affixes, parts of speech, intonation/stress, or implied context (words in a
lexicon are the subject matter of lexicology). Morphological typology represents a
method for classifying languages according to the ways by which morphemes are used
in a language—from the analytic that use only isolated morphemes, through the
agglutinative (stuck-together) and functional languages that use bound morphemes
(affixes), up to the polysynthetic, which compress many separate morphemes into
single words.(One of the definitions for Morphology.

CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION
B. Affixes as Heads
In morphological derivations of English, the number of suffixes exceeds the
number of prefixes. Affix is a part of a word that can be added at the beginning (prefix),
middle (inset), and end (suffix) of the root word (rooted words). In Indonesian, affixes are
known as affixes. The purpose of adding this part of the word is used to form a new word,
which will certainly give a different meaning from the original word.
If the affix is added at the beginning it is called a prefix. If it's in the middle or
inserted, it's called an infix and if it's at the end, it's called a suffix. Most compounds have
a head (on the right).
Example: greenhouses. As head, house determines the status of a syntactic
compound as a noun, and also in its meaning, namely a greenhouse-house for growing
various plants. As head, house determines the status of a syntactic compound as a noun,
and also in its meaning, namely a greenhouse-house for growing various plants.
1. Kinds of Affix Forms
a. Prefix
Prefix is an additional word that is located at the beginning (the beginning) of the
original word (rooted words). By adding the prefix, it will make this original word
have a different meaning from the original. The addition of a prefix is usually
intended to show a negative sentence (negation), but it can also express a
relationship of time, manner or place.
b. Infix
3
If the prefix is a word affix that is located in front of the rooted words, then infix is
an affix that is placed in the middle or is inserted in the rooted words. Usually, we
use infix in informal situations. In English, actually we rarely find this infix form.
These words are for example; cupful, spoonful, and passerby can be made plural as
cupsful, spoonsful, and passersby, using the "s" as the infix.

D. More Elaborate Word Forms: Compounds within Compounds
Any compound has only two immediate constituents. Example: Window oven
cleaner is not actually construed as something that cleans both the window and the oven,
but rather means something that cleans the window of the oven (namely, an oven that has
a see-through panel on the door).

CLOSING
A. Conclusion
In linguistics, morphology is the identification, analysis and description of the
structure of a given language’s morphemes and other linguistic units, such as root words,
affixes, parts of speech, intonation/stress, or implied context (words in a lexicon are the
subject matter of lexicology). Morphological typology represents a method for classifying
languages according to the ways by which morphemes are used in a language—from the
analytic that use only isolated morphemes, through the agglutinative (stuck-together) and
functional languages that use bound morphemes (affixes), up to the polysynthetic, which
compress many separate morphemes into single words.(One of the definitions for
Morphology.
B. Suggestion
The author hopes that educators and students will be aware and understand and
strive to practicing and understand the quality of morphology course or subject better than
before.
