INTRODUCTION
 Matthews (1991:3) states that, “Morphology,
therefore, is simply a term for that branch of
linguistics which is concerned with the ‘form of
words’ in different uses and contraction”. The object
of morphology is term that has correlation with
formation of words. Word formation is creation of a
new word, sometimes it changes the word’s
meaning and class.

 While, Lehmann (1976) and Srijono (2001:49)


stated that “Morphology is the study of morphemes,
their variation, and their combination in words”.
INTRODUCTION
A dictionary is a kind of book that contained the
complete vocabularies or words. It is arranged
based on alphabetical order. A dictionary is
important for people, especially the students.
Because you can look for the meaning of words that
you want, like English to Indonesian. It explains the
meaning of vocabularies or words. It helps the
people to know the new vocabularies or words and
the meaning of the vocabularies or words. In

and the manner using the word its. The dictionary
can help us to find the words that we want. We
can control the spelling of the words and look for
the standard language, the synonym or antonym
or acronym of the words.
INTRODUCTION

monolingual, bilingual, and various language
dictionaries. A monolingual dictionary uses only
one language, like a big Indonesian dictionary. A
bilingual dictionary uses two languages, like an
English-Indonesia dictionary. A various language
dictionary uses three or more languages, like a
Malay-Chinese-English dictionary. In this time, the

analyzed, especially an English-Indonesian
dictionary.

matters: talk·ed = *ed·talk,
re·write = *write·re
BASIC TERMINOLOGY
Morph. The term morpheme is used both to refer
to an abstract entity and its concrete
realization(s) in speech or writing. When it is
needed to maintain the signified and signifier
distinction, the term morph is used to refer to
the concrete entity, while the term morpheme is
reserved for the abstract entity only.

Allomorphs – morphemes having the same


function but different form. Unlike the synonyms
they usually cannot be replaced one by the other.

(1) a. indefinite article: an orange
– a building
b. plural morpheme: cat·s [s] –
dog·s [z] – judg·es [@s]
