| dc.description.abstract | This thesis deals with morphology and semantics which concern the
classifications and categories of compound words. The object analyzed in this
thesis is selected short stories. The stories are taken from the Pitara website. In
this case, the study intends to find out the classifications of compound words in
morphology and categories of compound words in semantics based on Bauer’s
theory. The data applied in this study are qualitative and quantitative data that is to
say that the objects are written texts and the data is in the form of number. The
analysis finds some results. The classifications based on morphology, they are
compound nouns, compound adjectives, compound adverbs, other form classes.
The categories based on semantics are endocentric compound, exocentric
compound, appositional compound, and copulative or dvanda compound. In
conclusion, compound noun in noun + noun form is commonly found in selected
short stories in Pitara website based on morphology, and endocentric compound is
also frequently found in selected short stories in Pitara website based on
semantics. These results show that compound noun is the vast majority of
compound that occurs in selected short stories in Pitara website, it may be because
compound noun can act in some functions in the sentences such as subject, object,
and subject complement where the other compound such as compound adjective
just can be modifier of a noun or pronoun. The second, the English language in
general has the head word in the last because the head is the most important of
compound whose the second element acts as head word, and the first element acts | en_US |
