Summary Constractive Linguistic & Error Analysis about MORPHOLOGY SUMMARY
In the process of morphology in English and Indonesian, There are two differences in the
morphological process in English and Indonesian, namely: in English there is affixation and
replacement, where affixation is more dominant in the suffix, while replacement occurs in nouns,
verbs and adjectives. while in Indonesian there is affixation and reduplication affixation and this
affixation is more dominant in nouns and verbs for reduplication in indonesian, nouns, adjective, and
verbs can be reduplicated to show plurality. Example:
English : - Prefixes : un-happy
- Suffixes : -s (books)
Replacement : - Noun : Woman – Women
- Verb : Eat – Ate – Eaten
- Adjective : Good – Better – Best
Indonesian : - Prefixes : me- (memakan)
- Suffixes : -an (bacaan)
- Infixes : -em- (gemetar)
- Combination : me-kan (merahasiakan)
Reduplication : Rumah – rumah ( houses )
so in english the affix has more derived affixes but each one can only be used with certain words
and it's fixed but in indonesian the number of affixes is limited, but each of them can run well
different number of stems, which also includes to different parts of speech. Example:
in English it has monosyllabic and polysyllabic but mostly in monosyllabic while for Indonesian it is
the same as English but mostly in polysyllabic, Example :
Monosyllabic : In English : One Cow Bad Book Through
In Indonesian : Jam Vas Bom Tas Bus
