| dc.description.abstract | This study tries to explain the nasal behaviors in the morphemes meaning
negative in English and in the prefix meaning active verb in Indonesian
phonologically. It concerns with what are their Underlying Representations and how
the Underlying Representation of the nasal behaviors in both morphemes generate
into the Phonetic Representations correctly. Next, the nasal behaviors in both
morphemes are compared one from another in order to know the similarities and the
differences between them.
This thesis uses the generative phonology theory introduced by Chomsky and
Halle in their book the Sound Pattern of English (1968) to explain the nasal behaviors
in the morphemes meaning negative in English and in the prefix meaning active verb
in Indonesian. To do so, it uses rules. The use of rules is important in detailing the
nasal behaviors in the two morphemes that are phonologically conditioned. And, in
comparing their nasal behaviors, it is used Typological Comparative Linguistics,
which studies the relationship among the languages through one of the major
characteristics of each form and structure. In addition,
This thesis is library research. Therefore, most of data are collected from
written source, especially English Pronouncing Dictionaries for the data of the nasal
behaviors in the morpheme meaning negative in English and Morfologi for the data
of the nasal behaviors in the prefix meaning active verb in Indonesian. The method of
research that is used in this thesis is descriptive method.
Finally, the similarities and the differences between the nasal behaviors in the
morphemes meaning negative in English and in the prefix meaning active verb in
Indonesian will be the conclusion of this study. In doing so, it shows that
typologically English and Indonesian have similarities in certain aspect and of course
have differences in another aspect since they belong to different language families. | en_US |
